CHILDREN KEPT
FROM POOLS
Fee System Deprives Poor Of
Swimming; EnriChes U. S.
at Local Expense

twenty-five thousand children
in the Nations Capital were de-
prived Of swims in publicly owned
pools last year because the wei
fare and Recreational Association
of the office of the Public Build
ings and Public Parks operated
two pools here paid for by the
District taxpayers under a fee
system which showed a net profit
of $1,079.46.
This money was credited to the
Federal Government along with
the profits from the other public
services that are handled by this
association, presumably under a
strict plan to make each activity
of the association self-sUpporting,
but which in reality is operated
so efficiently" that the Federal
Government gamers from $4,000
to 5000 each year. These &C
tivities range from the pools to
cafeterias in the Government Of
fices run in competition to the
restaurant and lunchroomS Of the
city.
d. C. Heads Amazed
The astounding revelation that
this sum was realized on the NC
Kinley High School Pool after
the losses on the Francis Junior
High School Pool were deducted
threw the office of the Play
ground Department of the Dis
trict into turmoil. The Play
ground Department operates five
swimming pools and eight wad-
ing pools for which no charge is
made at any time. Miss Sibyl
Baker, director of Fairgrounds,
was amazed at the profit. She
said:
"That almost makes me cry.
It is cruel. Imagine, making
that much money ON q pool
and we have to get along on q
niggardly appropriation Of ST.
500 q pool. Why 1 could run
one pool for more than q
month on that much money
and give $4,000 children a
chance to SWIM"
Miss Baker Is particularly
aroused by the fact that the Nc,
Kinley Pool, the only one that
can make any money in the Dis
trict, should be under the con.
troll of a Federal agency which
receives all benefits, when it was
paid for by the District taxpayers,
It Is Miss Bakers idea that
the pools should be under a
unified head which would allow
cutting the personnel and service
now needed with the pools scat
tered under three different heads.
Donovan Agrees
Miss Baker is backed up in
her contention by Daniel j. DON
ovan, auditor of the District Of
Columbia, who emphatically de-
clares that the Mckinley and
Francis Pools should be under
control of the Fairgrounds de-
partment.
With the proposed reorganiza-
ton under way in the Government
Departments the Office of Public
Buildings and Public Parks vii!
be under control of the Interior
Department and there will be
the situation of the Interior De-
partment running a swimming
pool in the District that was built
with District money and garner
ing a profit from it.

100 Delinquent
Beer Sellers
To Lose Out

Tax Assessor William P. Rich
ards will forward to the District
Commissioner late today a list
of merchants who have failed to
pay their June beer tax, due last
Monday, with the recommends
ton that their permits be re-

Deputy Assessor Charles A.
Russell said there are approx
mately 100 dealers who have not
filed their tax returns.
Russell said he will not recon-
mend revocation of all permits,
but will select only those mer-
chants who have been persist
emily late in filing the monthly
statements.
The District Commissioners
have indicated they will approve
the recommendation.

Transfer of between so and 100
prisoners from the District re-
formatory at Lorton, Va. to Fed
eral penitentiaries probably will
begin tomorrow under the direc-
ton of Capt. M. M. Barnard, Su-
perintendent of District penal in
Stitutions.
The superintendent said the
men would all be moved in one
group under the regular guards
used for such services and that
they would be spirited away in
secret.
Removal of these men will
entail the use of a large number
of guards, however, and police
deputy marshals, and Depart
ment of Justice men may be
called in to assist.
George S. Wilson, director OF
public welfare, said today that
not less than so nor more than
100 of the ringleaders in the re
cent insurrection at Lorton will
be sent to Federal institutions.
Shift Plans Under Way
Arrangements are being com
pleted with the Department OF
Justice for the commitment OF
the prisoners to the Fedora,
prisons and transportation is be
ing planned.
While it has not been def
nitely settled just where the mer
are to go, it appeared probable
today that the greater number
of them will be sent to Atlanta

REQUEST MADE
FOR SLASH Of
TOPPER CENT
War Department Leads Action
BY Woodring's Order to
Corps Area Leaders

A virtual ultimatum to public
utility services throughout the
country to reduce rates 10 per
cent has been ordered by
Assistant Secretary of War Wood.
ring.
Acting in the interest Of
Governmental economy, but with
view to bringing relief to
household budgets throughout the
Nation, Woodring has dispatched
orders to all corps area COM
manders to serve notice upon the
public utility services that War
Department contracts for such
services will not be renewed for
the fiscal year 1884 unless a 10
per cent reduction in rates is
granted.
Will Offer Petitions
In the event the utility services
refuse to make such a cut, the
corps area commanders have been
instructed to petition the appro-
pirate State agency charged with
control of such rates for the
reduction.
In States which have no public
utility commission, the petition
will be made direct to the com.
pany. Woodring has not yet de.
cided what action will be taken
other than to cancel contracts If
the companies refuse to grant
the reduction.
He is confident, however, that
the State public utility commits
sion will order the reduction
once the War Department pc.
tition has been received. The
wording of the petition is being
left to each corps area COM
mander.
Should Be Lower
Woodring, who is a former
Kansas governor, has taken this
action because he believes public
utility rates have not been re-
duced correspondingly with the
general reduction in the income
of the working classes.
Although the reduction asked
is for public utility services to
the Army posts and other Fed.
eral property which comes under
the jurisdiction of the War De-
partment, Woodring believes that
if the utility services grant the
reduction to the War Depart
ment, they will have to extend
it to the general consumer.

industry. "Isn't this a forward
step?" he inquiries; "aren't we
heading toward the future, rather
than the past? The Middle Ages
were a time of serfdom and igno-
rance; the industries recovery act
is meant to give us freedom and
enlightenment"
If Mr.. Younger will go to the
public library and look up a dis
tinguished writer whose last name
is Mr.. Younger's first name, he will
learn that l meant no slam at the
new system of industry in America;
and that l reject any slams at the
Middle Ages. The writer refer to
is G.. D. H. Cole (who is also
writer of nrime detective stories,
The Washington times., 1933-07-12

by the way) and his books Guild Socialism are the
ones to read.
Neither Mr. Cole nor his associates are complete
medevalists but their guild SYSTEM as the name I'M
plies has it's roots in the distant past During the
war; the guild system made almost as much ot NOISE
in England as technocracy made here few months
ago. do not know what has happened to 1t since;
probably it has influenced people who were nearer
the seats of power even if it reached power
ITSELF
AS remember it, the guild system was a modern
version of the old guild-the combine syndicate OF
all those who worked in the field. Transports
ton would be one guild mining perhaps another tex
tile workers third and The government
would represent the interests of everybody, not as
workers. but as citizens. And the government would
make compromises in favor of the public, whenever
two guilds quarreed do not recall the details OF the
scheme, but know that each guild or industry would
be self-governed and all of them would rest the
controlling hand of the central government.
It seems to me that President Roosevelt's present
system approaches this guild system 1t even brings
into play something specific from the guilds OF
the Middle Ages their codes of honor their standards
their laws of working hours We think of those
ancient guilds as exclusive labor unions trying to keep
out competitors; but they also training schools
through which apprentice and journeyman made his
way to become a master-craftsman; they also had
definite standards, that when they made wool 1t
was wool and shoddy, and when they made god' 1t
was gold and not alloy

7 WO COACHES
HELP INSPIRE
CONFIDENCE
BY HARRY COSTELLO


Combine the competitive spirit
with opportunity, season with
inspiration, and you have sue
cess in modern intercollegiate
athletics.
Look at the 1888 grid teams
of George washington University
and Catholic University. There
is proof of the pudding.
Years ago, athletic teams of
G. w. and c. U. were out from
under the glare of the floodlight
of desirable athletic publicity.
They couldn't seem to crowd
their way into the limelight.
A few years ago, along came
James E. ("Possum Jim~ Pixlee,
to take charge of athletics at
G. w., and Arthur CDutchW
Bergman, to take charge at c. U.
Understand Competition
These two men understood
competition and it's spirit. They
made their opportunities. They
inspired confidence in their en-
ployerS, in their players. in the
press and public. Today they
are reaping the rewards.
This season, the main interest
of Washington, measured by the
yardStick of attendance, will lie
with G.. w. and c. U. They have
the superior grid teams.
c. US rise under Bergman has
been slower than the rise of G. w.
under Pixlee. Even so, c. US has
been meteoric, G. WIS has been
sure.
Americans love a winner. The
public feels that G.. w. and c. u.
will win. Good reasons why the
support of followers Of football
will go to the Colonials and the
Flying Cardinals.
Georgetown's position as the top
attraction in Washington football
was first threatened by Maryland,
and then by G. w. and c. U. Com
petition, the heart Of modern ath-
letic progress, met for so many
years by the Hoyas, became bur-
den at the Hilltop. The Hoyas
slipped, faded out of their posi-
ton at the top, leaving Jack Hag-
gerty as coach with a heavy load
on his shoulders.
Maryland Slips
Maryland, with green teams two
years in a row, and with color
full G.. w. and c. U. battling to
the top, slipped, too, but has not
faded out to such a degree as the
Hoyas.
In golf they call it Rub O. the
Green. In modern football, as in
business, they call it competition.
Practically all forecasts made
by football writer's in washington
point out that G. w. and C. U.
will be strong, that Maryland will
not be any too strong, that
Georgetown will be weak. Indica-
tions are that G.. W. and C. U.
will draw the larger crowds this
year.
From Camp Let's, where G. w.
is in training, and from Brook
land, optimistic reports pour forth.
From Georgetown and from Mary
land issue doleful words. This all
helps G.. w. and C. U.
Competition!
