SUSPECTS IDENTIFIED BY OV

Oddly enough, four of the dogs bore
striking resemblance in size and
color to brown Buster and the re-
manning four we're Of brindle hue,
such as Kipp's.
The suspects themselves we're snug
gled in among their canine counter
parts by an unidentified individual,
who later admonished the growing
ring of spectators not to address any
dog by name.
State Game Warden w. Harry
johnson was there as official rep
resentative of the court to see justice
done. There were rumors that Payne
had seen at least one suspects pic
ture in the paper and already knew
which dogs belonged to the Grubb
and Covington families.
The Grub children. s-year-old
Jimmie, and Sam. jr.. just 8, remained
indoors with their father. who had
tumbled down the steps in the excite
ment of the prelininaries and sprained
| his ankle. Grubb later lnped out,
leading Jimmie and Sam, but warning
them against shoWering any sympathy
on Kipp.
Meanwhile, Payne, farmer who
lives on the outskirts of Falls Church,
remained in an automobile parked in
front Of the Grub home until all
was in readiness. Several policemen
were there to maintain order. for the
crowd grew as sound reel men backed

Wednesday Designated as
Date for Hearing on
Proposed Bill.
CONTROL OF EDUCATION
BOARD IS OPPOSED
Commissioners to Delay Decision
Until After Civic Federation
Takes Action.

A public hearing on the proposed
bill to enlarge the powers of the
District Commissioners, which would
give them control over the Board of
Education and other Semi-independ-
ent groups, will be held Wednesday at
10 am, it was announced yesterday.
Commissioners Hazen and Allen
agreed to. withhold action on the
measure until various interested
groups had filed formal statements.
1t had been suggested that the
hearing be delayed until after the
meeting of the Federation of Citizens
Associations on January 49, This has
been avoided by the willingness Of the
city heads to postpone action until
the federation statement is presented
following its meeting.
Opposition Voiced.
The hearing will last until all in
terested parties have had opportunity
to voice their views.
A storm of objection against giving
the Commissioners control over the
acts of the Board of Education already
has come from officials of that body
as we'll as numerous civic groups.
Fears have been voiced that such
change would open the door to injec-
tion of politics in he appointment Of
executives of the school system.
Commissioner Allen has expressed
willingness to have written into the
bill a definite provision for creation
by law of definite merit system for
employees of the school system and
a waiver of power of the Commits
sioners to appoint members Of the
Board of Education. The Commits
sioners believe, however, it is stated.
that they should be given power of
appointing members of the School
Board. Commissioner Allen has sug-
gested that this matter be debated at
the public hearing.
Reorganization Proposed.
The question of who should have
control over the entire public school
system also is expected to be raised
in proposals for reorganization of the
District government. This matter is
expected to be presented soon on a
report to the Senate District Commit
teee by members of the committee
named by that body to study reorgan-
iZation.
Members of this committee are Will
liam A. Roberts, peoples counsel; Maj.
Daniel J. Donovan. District auditor
and budget officer. and a representa-
tive OF the Budget Bureau.
