Mystery of House Clock
Hands Must Be Restored Before Congress
Opens on Friday.

plates on the portraits Of some Of the
former Speakers which adorn the
walls Of the House lobby also are
missing. They, too, are going TO be
replaced.
Aside from replacing the stolen
articles, Sinnott has taken every pre-.
caution to prevent anything else from
leaving Washington in the pockets Of
the souvenir collectors.
For instance, o close watch Is being
kept on all strangers who 60 near the
House lobby or chamber. Only one
door Is open into the gallery and that
is too far from either Of the two
clocks to permit stranger to reach
them without leaping over several
guard rails. The seats and carpets
are about the only things left and
they are bolted or nailed to the floor.
Incidentally. the person who re-
moved the clock hands placed himself
in perilous position. He had to lean
far over the gallery rail. II either
q hand or foot had slipped, he would
have fallen headlong into the House
chamber.
Sinnott believes that was too much
of q risk for any one to have taken
for a couple Of clock hands, even
though they may be regarded as

Sullivan Asks Special Board
Meeting in Communism
Fight.

A demand for a special meeting OF

tee investigating the alleged teaching
Of communism in the schools.
Sullivan. in a letter to Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle, president Of the board

ceived q list Of SO books used in the
teachers colleges here, but that they
still had been unable to secure list
of study magazines used in public
schools and had not been given an
opportunity to inspect the revised
course in social studies. He also COM
planned that the list of So books, sub
mitted yesterday, although requested
three weeks ago, came too late for
adequate inspection before the next
meeting of the board.
In demanding the special meeting.
Sullivan said:
Some prompt intelligent action Is
due In the interest of the public, as
well as the board itself. A number OF
conservative and fair-minded persons
are beginning to express themselves 81
feeling an honest doubt as to whether
the members of your board in genera
with but few exceptionS are inde.
pendent, or whether they feel sense
of subservience to the superintendent
Of schools and are secretly co-operat'
ing with him in hsmpering U.S."
It was also disclosed yesterday that
Representative Jenckes of Indiana, q
member of the House District Com
mittee, is investigating complaints oi
