PUBLIC SCHOOLS
in GRAVE DANGER
Federal Commissioner of
Education Says Some
thing Must Be Done

Washington, April - (UP)-
Federal commissioner of education.
George r. Zook, told the United
Press today that the American
public schools system was facing
its worst crisis in history. His
statement came as he prepared to
participate in national educa-
tional conference at Columbus.
Ohio. 1.-THE situation this year is
more serious than ever before de-
spite activities of the recovery ad-
ministration," said Zook. IT am not
certain that even if recovery con-
tinues, the situation will be any
better next year." The government,
Zook said, has and will continue
to aid schools, but a new system
muct be followed, based on support
through county and state taxes.
Steps toward rehabilitating the
national school system being con-
sidered include: Appropriations to
meet the needs of schools next
year, involving possibly 100000
900. This sum presumably would
permit all schools to remain open.
Possible extension of RFC powers
to permit loans to school districts.
Acceleration Of the public works
program to include added construc-
ton and remodeling of schools.
Consolidation of small school dis
tricts in to larger units, to increase
efficiency, and simultaneously re-
duce the overhead cost.

Farley had insisted that his

his political activities as one OF

HOUSING PLANS

Real Estate Spectators
Trying to Profit at

Washington, April 3-(UP)-
Efforts of spectators to profit at
the expense of the government and
legal technicalities have seriously
hindered the federal low-cost
housing and Stun clearance plans,
officials revealed today. Although
considerable sums. have been allo-
Gated to this work, actual con-
struction Is just getting underway
on the first of the projects. Upon
unnamed real estate spectators, I"
officials of the federal emergency
Jousing corporation placed the
major blame for the delay in start
ing low-cost housing.
About 1000 projects have been
submitted to the corporation, all
of them involving land costs so
high that cheap rentals would be
impossible even with the most
economical building methods.
These projects Enthusiastically
represent schemes to make money
at the expense of the government"
said one official.
Government housing projects
have been concentrated in two
agencies. the PWA and the FEHC.
But although about $150.000, eco
has been allotted for such work,
less than 100000 has actually
been spent.

ample time for consideration of
any appeal and to permit arrival

American agents to take him home.

Eskicher supreme court of appeal.
Essad Bey pleaded that decisions
taken under the penal code, includ-
ing that clause under which In
sull was seized aboard a snip fly
ing the Greek flag, were revocable
on appeal from the penal court.
The penal court which ordered
his surrender Sunday already had
considered this aspect, and the
government of Angora held that
the special clause used to arrest

The new Turkish-American ex-

Turkish parliament at Angora last
night, but the government acted
under the penal code.
1t was explained here that the

Garden theater to-day. With Ibis
breeches and spurs put aside,
O Brien dons his city clothes and
does some fast and fancy stepping
in this film which is reported as
being a laugh-provoking comedy
romance.
Ever Since Eve" deals with a
young man who is the foster son of

ed women haters. The mine Is in

falls victim to the charms of a
