my A..ocIaaea Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. CAS-.
berting the government should not
"set the pace for debt escape" by
cities, Jacob LASTLY of st. Louis
yesterday put the American Ban
ASSOCIATION and United States
chamber of commerce on record
against the house municipal bank.
ruptcy relief bill.
LASTLY told a senate judiciary
Subcommittee that the Summers
Wilcox bin passed last June by. the
house, permitting the local gov.
ternmental units to petition .
court for a scaling down or extern
sion of their debts, would set 9
bad precedent in American eco
nomics, law and politics"
He said it also would promote
cowardice, increase the psycholOg.
ical depression, and cause an in
crease in tax delinquencies" at o
time when tax payments were on
the increase. LASTLY further main.
tanned the measure was uncon-
istitutionaI.
LASTLY appeared after George
A. Bangs of Indianapolis, presi-
dent of the United Mutual Life. In,
surance Company, had raised the
question of constitutionality and
said the whole burden of scaling
down the city debts would fall on
policy holders, their widows and
orphans, educational institutions
and savings banks which hold most
of the $4,000, 100000 of out.
standing municipal bonds.
Senator Herbert (R., r. IL
asked if the bill would permit a
crowd of "chislers" to enter the
situation.
Bangs agreed and said a certain
group in Florida which he did not
name stood to win a million dol
lars if q plan of readjustment
went through.
LASTLY said the government
should mot lead the way" in en-
couraging the breaking of public
promises" and that municipal
Hebts were in a more inviolablC
class than private obligations.
1.-THE government he asserted
should lead the way to carrying
on in some manner until a better
day comes, until promises can b.
fulfilled"
LASTLY said he personally be
lieved the state should take care
of the city situations, eithe'
through loans from revolving

mary hearing yesterday before

statement made by the prisoner
accepted by the court, he was
placed under bond of $500 on the
first charge and 500 on the sec

Early Saturday morning the de-
PENDANT entered the weather bu-
reau, which is also the home of
Meteorologist G. S. Kennedy and
his family, entrance was gained
by forcing the screen from a win

story and then started upstairs.
This aroused Mr.. Kennedy, who
started to get his pistol and in

ened the house breaker who jump
ed from the window and made his
escape.
He went next door to the resi-

The money he took he would pay
back, he told Captain Rivas.
At the hearing yesterday he
said he was drunk and did not
know what he was doing. In fact,
he had no knowledge of having
done anything wrong.
A pertinent question was asked
by Meteorologist Kennedy when
the prisoner pleaded being drunk.
this was chow could a man who
was so drunk as to not be cogniz-
ant of his actions. mount bicycle
and swiftly ride away?"

SUPREME COURTS
RULING in FAVOR
MARRIED TEACHERS
SHOWN WHERE BOARD OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION HAD
NO AUTHORITY TO DENY
THEM PLACE IN SCHOOLS
(By Associated Press)

TALLAHASSEE, Feb. 6.-Mar-
ried school teachers got break
today as the supreme court ruled
they must be considered on an
equal footing with unmarried wom-
en- in employment when they COM
ply with statutory requirements of
teacher ability.
The county board of public in
'struction is without authority the
court held to reject nominations
of district school teachers except
upon valid grounds. The fact
that a teacher is married or has
an independent source of income
was held insufficient to reject
teachers nomination.
An Orange county case provided
the ruling. Four women brought
mandamus action against the coun-
ty board when their nominations
by district trustees were rejected.
The county board declined EN-
ployment to them because they
were married or had incomes 9TH
er than from teaching, A lower
court upheld the boards policy.
"By its action" said the SUI
preme court opinion, +" the board
of public instruction in effect inn
posed celibacy and social state
akin to poverty or restitution as
prerequisite for lady to teach
! The effect of such policy is unrea'
sonable and unheard of in any
other business or profession"

and liked it so much, the porch
which opened off the living
room as could visualize how
popular it could be at all times.
The cellar was unusually large
