KRAMER URGES
BR|GHTWOOD
AS SITE
Declares Present Cramped
Facilities in City Hamper
Proper Teaching

Explaining that the population
in District schools is continuously
on the increase, DR.. Stephen E.
Kramer, first assistant superin-
tendent of schools in charge of
high schools, today stressed the
need for construction of a new
high school in Brightwood to re-
lieve overcrowding.
Enrolment in the local high
schools is now higher than it has
ever been before and considerably
beyond the capacity of the build
ings. Mr.. Kramer stated:
"There is no doubt that our
high schools are too over
crowded. In most cases we
have no immediate hope for re-
lief. I believe, however, that
we should be looking to con-
structiOn of a new building in
BrightwOod or TakOma to ac-
cOmmOdate the overflow from
Roosevelt High School,"
Staggered Hours
The enrolment in five white
high schools is now 11,434,
which is 1874 beyond the num-
ber of pupils which the build
ings were constructed to accom-
modate.
Congestion is so pronounced at
Eastern and Kinley that
school officials were forced to
place classes under a staggered
hour" program.
At Eastern the most over,
crowded high school in the city,
the present enrolment is 2,759,
whereas the building was origi-
nally built to house no more
than 1000 pupils.
Western High School, where
the staggered hour program was
inaugurated early this year. has
an enrolment of SGT in excess
of it's capacity.
Reaches Maximum
DR.. Kramer pointed out that
the increasing population in the
BrightWood and Takoma Park
areas is crowding the new Roose
velt High School. The enrolment
there is 1925, or 325 beyond its
capacity, and is increasing all
the time. DR.. Kramer said
| further:
Roosevelt has already reached
the maximum number it can
accommodate. Our only hope
is for a new high school"
Central High School, the second
largest in the city. has always
accommodated more students
than its capacity. School off
cials point out that the effec'
tiveness of the educational work
at the school is limited in view
of the fact that the auditorium
and other extra-curricular facili
ties at the school must be usec
for study purposes.
The one remaining white high
school, Mckinley, although il
has more pupils than it was orig
inally built to accommodate, il
reported as being in "satisfac

FORNEW TAGS

More than 300 persons-some of
whom had been there since $50
a. m.-were in line to get their
new 1885 automobile tags at 9
o'clock this morning when the Di'

issuing the new plates.
Francis Mcdaniel, 2200 block
Kearny st. N. w., was the first i'll
line by virtue of arriving at $50

Changing from the black and
yellow color scheme of the last
several years, the tags are now
green numbers on a white back
ground, and there are no letters.
Traffic Director William A Van
Duzer said that the new tags are
being issued at the rate of 500 an

PARKING ADVICE
ASKED Of CIVIC,
TRADE BODIES
D. C. Board to Study Plan for
Ban on 80 Streets, But
Will Defer Action

Trade and civic groups will be
asked to express their opinion on
the proposal of the Traffic Ad-
visory Council for a parking ban
on So miles of Washington's
boulevards, before action is taken,
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
said today.
The city head stated that the
question would be discussed at
the meeting of the Board of Com
missioners tomorrow, but that 1t
was too important a matter TO
act on without seeking an express
sion from the citizens.
Yaden Objects
James G. Yaden, president OF
the Federation of Citizens AS
sociation, stated his opposition to
the councils plan saying that it
took in entirely too much ter
ritory."
He said that this was his per-
sonal view, and that the associa-
ton would take it up at its meet
ing Saturday night.
The recommendation OF the
council would prohibit parking OF
automobiles on 33 main thor
oughfares from 2 a. m. to $3.50
a. M, from December Is to
March l.
Woe For 1000 motorists
The proposal was made to re-
move automobiles from the city
streets to facilitate snow removal.
Commissioner HaZen pointed
out that the parking ban would
leave approximately 1000 motor
lists without a place to park their
cars, but it might speed up the
movement of traffic.

CALLS PARLEY.
WITH ROBERTS
ON CHANGES
Disagrees With Donovan's
Plea No Revision Is
Necessary

Senator William H. King O0,
of Utah, today took a hand in
the discussion regarding a possible
drastic reorganization of the Dis
trict Governments structure by
taking exception to a statement
recently made by Daniel j. Dono-
van, District Auditor.
Mr.. Donovan stated the present
structure of the local Government
is operating satisfactorily and
notifications or alterations are
not necessary.
Senator King, therefore, infer
entially at least, believes some
changes are necessary in the
District Government, although he
did not state specifically any
remedy.
Will See Roberts
It was disclosed further today
that Senator King has requested
William A. Roberts, Peoples
Counsel, to confer with him this
week on what, if any, changes
there are that the special COM
mittee appointed to study the
District Government setup will re-
port soon.
Senator Kings statement con-
corning the position Mr.. Dono'
van has taken is the first utter.
ance he has made in the contro-
versy. Mr.. Donovan is member
of the special committee.
FavOrs Changes
The District auditors assertion
was made after it became known
that Mr.. Roberts, who also is a
member of the special commit
tee, personally believes that
numerous drastic notifications
and consultations should be az
fected in the local governments
structure.
Since the third member of the
special committee, Lewis w.
Douglas, former Budget Director,
has resigned, the report of that
body, if any is to be made, will
be signed only by the Peoples
Counsel and the auditor, and it
is apparent that wide differences
of opinion would be shown in the
recommendations each would
offer.
1t was Senator King who spon-
sored the special committee in"
vestigation, and therefore it is
generally believed he is of the
opinion that some changes and
consultations should be brought
about in the District Government.
Supports Roberts
His comment today on the po.
sition taken by Mr.. Donovan has
definitely placed him as being on
the Roberts side of the contro-
versy-although not necessarily
agreeing with all the plans OF
the Peoples Counsel-and there
fore the coming King g-RobertS
conference is of more than ord1-
nary significance. Mr.. Roberts IS
said to be ready to do his part
in drafting the recommendations
of his committee whenever the
rest of his associates are pre-
pared, while Mr.. Donovan has
explained that other duties have
prevented him from finding time
tn nrepare the report.

DEFENDANT WINS
 DECISION IN SUIT
Judge Booth Finds Issues in Favor of Dervis in
 $25,000 Action

Ha
 Ignace Dervis won the suit that was brought against him by Paul Kunkel local druggist, according to a decision of Judge John Rufus Bo5oth handed down in superior court yesterday afternoon. Kunkel sued Dervis for $25,000 damages for injuries suffered Feb 13,1932. Kunkel was attempting to extri- cate his front bumper from the rear bumper of another car parked opposite Scovill Mfg Go. when the Dervis machine struck the Kunkel car in the rear and pinned Kunkel between the bumpers. The trial was held several weeks ago before Judge Booth. He filed no memor- andum of decision, simply finding the issues in Dervis' favor, and for the defendant to recover his court costs.
