|. MEMBERS MARCH
5000 School Boys and Girls
Parade-1,000 Come
From Four States,

Scrubbed and groomed, with white
belts cleaning In the Spring sunshine,
5000 school boys and girls of the
traffic patrol paraded down Pennsyl-
vania avenue this morning between
lanes Of admiring parents and friends.
The Navy Band and Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen. grand marshal, led
the column which moved from John
Marshal place with at least six other
bands in line. The route was down
Pennsylvania avenue to Fifteenth
street, thence south to Constitution
avenue and west past the reviewing
stand at Sixteenth street to a dis
banding point on the Ellipse.
Reviewed by Officials.
In the reviewing stand were mem
bers of the cabinet, both Houses Of
Congress and officials of the American
Automobile Association, which spon-
sors the school patrol movement
throughout the country.
Approximately 1000 school boy
patrolmen were modified in Washing
ton, reinforced by 1000 others from
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and
North Carolina.
Thousands of parents lined the
entire route of march. an especially
large group being concentrated at
Fifteenth street, where the parade
swung south of the Avenue.
There was great confusion among
parents and spectators trying to locate
their charges among the younger boys
when the parade disbanded at the
| ElhpSe. One mother had three park
policemen searching for a "1o-year-
old boy, dressed in a blue shirt, white
ducks, belt and sailor hat"
The missing child answered to the
name of William. his mother said.
At least 100 other Williams exactly
fitted this description and police and
parent alike were baff1ed. The mother
| learned later that William had gone
home unescorted.
In addition to the familiar broad
white belts and badges of the patrol,
the marchers wore outfits distinctive
of their various schools. The column
made a fine showing as it swung
along the bright sunshine to the
cheers Of thousands of spectators.
Bands Accompanying Units.

patrol units were the Stuart Junior
High School Band, the Langley Junior
High School Band and the Holy Com
forter Band. the Boys Independent
Band and the Montgomery County

The 65 per cent maximum tax on

indirect confiscation experiment. The
upward adjustment or surtaxes on

same theory. Chairman Pat Harri-
son once admitted almost that much

Little to Pay Now.
Just now, these new rates are
largely paper taxes because there is
SO little wealth to pay them. But if
people start making money again at
a 1929 clip the rates will become

President Watches Japan.
The japanese situation has been
played down publicly to allay undue
excitement. but PAident Roosevelt
has personally devd ID more time to
it in the last few days than to any
other single subject.
His main difficulty was to get a
copy Of the new japanese protectorate
policy over China.
The State Department combed the
world for it without success. The pri-
vate excuse offered by the Japanese
foreign Office was that it was an oral
statement and no copies existed.
News correspondents in Toxic whis-
pered to the American embassy there
that the foreign Office minister, who
announced the policy to them, read
his words from several sheets of
paper.
Mr.. Roosevelts announcement about
new naval construction was meant to
