RISE PAYS DIVIDENDS

A policy of "watchful waiting"
in the sale of bonds and other
securities held by closed banks be-
ing liquidated by the state bank
ing department., has saved the de-
positors between 80 and 40 per
cent because Of the rise in bond
prices since the bank holiday Of
March 1888, according to Elmer
A. Benson, state commissioner of
banks. Some bonds have been sold
for 300 to 400 per cent more than
they would have brought in 1888.

SECRETARY ROPER
HITS DEMAGOGUES
Cabinet Member Addresses II
Kiwanis Club Meetings in
Special Broadcast.

Free speech. when practiced by
selfish demagogueS, can distort facts
to suit particular arguments and can
become as deadly destructive as we'll
devised free speech can be constructive,
Secretary of Commerce Roper said in
a special telephonic broadcast last
night.
The Secretary addressed II simul-
taneous meetings of Kiwanis clubs in
Ohio over hook-up originating In the
Office OF Edwin B. Hill. Kiwanis Inter
national trustee, who made the intro
ductory remarks.
Democracy" the Secretary said,
''by its very democratic nature can be-
come the prey of organized minorities
and special blocs and groups. Our
National Constitution guarantees the
right of free speech in the United
States, but this does not mean that
libelous and defamatory extremes
should be permitted. Hence, any man,
If he can get an audience, can preach
his doctrine, provided it is noe.openly
seditious in character. This privilege
imposes very great responsibility
upon good citizenship for wise control.
THE public must be constantly
alert to analyze all presentations
which are made to them, to consider
the intent of those who set themselves
up in positions of authority, to con-
slider whether the material presented
is factual and fundamentally true and
to determine further whether the
arguments presented are practicable
in application as well as attractive in
generalization and theory"

Swimming Pools Are Lacking
In Southeast Area of City

prehensive pool development in the
! Southeast to make tanks easily avail
able to all.
Miss Sibyl Baker, playground head,
urges, first, construction of a large
pool in Anacostia, with a wading
pool adjacent, to care for a wide
area which today can take its dip
only in the treacherous natural
waters.
Could Serve Big Section.
This pool in Anacostia would serve
tremendously wide neighborhood;
it could care for the whole of East
Washington" Miss Baker declared.
Her plans would make this tank
the size of the pools run by the
parks at Takoma' Park and Mckin-
ley.
The program tentatively lists play
ground pools at Congress Heights and.
for colored swimmers, at Barry
Farms, to the east of Anacostia.
Another wading pool is listed for
Randall Heights, at the eastern ex-
tremity of Pennsylvania avenue.
Although the location Is not men
toned in her proposed public works
outline, Miss Baker suggests con-
struction in the future of q play
ground at Pennsylvania avenue and
Thirteenth street, with a playground
pool as one of itS chief features.

D. c. HEADS BACK
SCHOOL PROPOSAL
Legislation Would Place Vo-
CationaI Programs on
Higher Level.

Legislation proposed by school off,
cials to raise the standards of the
vocational schools of the District to
the level of junior high schools. with
corresponding step-ups in salary for
vocational school teachers, was ap-
proved today by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners also indorsed
another bill proposed by school au-
thorities to make the standards of
the Wilson and Miner Teachers Col
leges correspond with similar insti-
tutions elsewhere so as to retain the
Endorsement of the American Associa-
tion of Accredited Colleges.
Would Employ Librarians.
The latter bill provides for employ
ment Of chief librarian for the
teachers colleges at basic salary
Of $4,000 a year. with a promotion of
500 year for five years, and the en-
ployment of an assistant librarian at
81 800 a year. with an annual step
up Of 500 for 10 years, and number
of library assistants.
III. dIIh W. DdlIOu,
ent of schools, appeared before the
Commissioners to explain the meas
ures. Since the bills affect appropria-
tions. the Commissioners will submit
them to the Budget Bureau for ap-
proval
Salaries Would be Raised.
In the case of the vocational schools
the teachers now receive elementary
school teachers salaries. which range
from 81 400 to $4,000. II raised to the
level Of junior high school teachers
their salaries would range from 81 800
and $1,000 to s2.400 and s2.S00.
The Central Labor Union has been
advocating this change for several
years. arguing that the vocational
schools should not be treated as step
child elementary grades. If the
salary level is raised teachers affected
would have to meet the higher stand
ards. officials say. In raising the
standards of the teachers colleges
the principal salary change would be
provisioned for an associate professor
classification, with salaries ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000. There are now
but two classifcations in these COL
legeS, instructor and professor.
