MOdernistiC Schools
Rejected for D. c..

in Washington-not on your life!
Said Mr.. Crane:
THE mOdernistic type of
architecture is without pride of
ancestry or hope of pOsterity."
With whatever funds Congress
appropriates for the construction
of new schools in Washington,
school officials here will build
the most modern buildings pos
sible, with Mr.. Crane explaining
as follows:
"All buildings erected in
Washington for school pur-
poses will be safe and sound
and in keeping with the beauty
of the National Capital"
The proposed school in Los
Angeles will be the last word in
modernistic architecture. It will
be an IL" shaped building. 1t
will do away with solid walls,
replacing them with sheets of
glass. Each classroom will be
a separate unit with it's own
patio where the class may ad-
journ at any time for outdoor
work. The building will be con-
structed at ta cost of $38,500.

5 TOWNS VOTE.
ON MEMBERS
Of COUNCIL
Young Mems Democratic Club,
G. O. P. in Hot Fight
At Takoma Park

TAKOMA PARK, Md, May 8.
Town councilmen will be elected
in five Montgomery county munich
palities today in annual town
elections in Takoma Park, Glen
Echo, Garrett Park, Somerset
and Drummond.
The open fight between the
local Young Mems Democratic
Club and the reigning Republic
ans is expected to bring to the
Takoma Park polls a large per
cent of the nearly 5000 registered
voters. The absence of important
local issues in the other towns is
expected to result in a very light
vote.
In Takoma Park the incum.
bents, John R. Adams, M. C.
Taft and Col. a. L. Conger, are
opposed by William C. Fowler, M.
G. Phoebus and Arthur L. Reyn-
olds.
In Glen Echo four candidates
are seeking the places on the town
council. They are Ernest D.
Houghton, incumbent: H. E. Mil
Ter, Stanley D. Bradshaw and
John c. Leger.
There is no contest in Garrett
Park where the two incumbents,
Roy P. Moore and S. H. Ingberg,
are unoppoSed.
Elections in both Drummond
and Somerset are by popular vote
in which the residents may cast
their ballots for any eligible citizen
without nominations.

That "dime chain letter"

Department threatening jail to
the one responsible for starting
it. Most likely, just some un-

OF course, the idea isn't new,

2 GROUPS FIGHT.
To CONTROL
7 TOWNS
Fusion Party in Prospect
As Communities Ballot
In Prince Georges

EVANSVILLE, Md, May 6.
While party lines are not prom
inently marked in the seven
Prince Georges towns that vote
for town officials today, a general
sweep by Republicans will pave
the way for a Fusion party in
the county campaign three years
hence.
A Fusion party is in prospect,
as party alignments undergo a
drastic change. Democratic clubs
are making a bitter fight in the
area usually controlled by the
late j. Enos Ray, chairman OF
the Maryland Democratic Central
Committee, and the most popu'
louS area of Prince Georges.
Spirited Fight
Republicans have made a
spirited fight to control Mt.
Rainier and Cheverly, while
"antis" are vigorously campaign
ing in Hyattsville and Riverdale.
Control of town administrations
by either party will pave the way
for organization of effective local
machines in the coming general
campaign, it is declared. What
Democrats fear, until a local
leader to handle Democrats af-
fairs along the Baltimore Boule-
ward is named to succeed Mr.. Ray,
is that "antis" and Republicans
will join in a Fusion party, as in
Montgomery county, and prove a
serious obstacle later.
Library Tax Issue
HyattSville today closed a
pamphlet campaign over a refer
endum on allocating portion OF
the town levy to maintain the
town library. Mayor Fred w.

Mayor Norman A. Pruitt and

Democratic delegation to the
legislature over a defeated road
measure. His opponent is Harry
A. L. Barker.
Elections in Seat Pleasant,
Cottage City and Edmonston were

MASS MEETING
WILL CLIMAX
PEARSON ROW
College Park Move Follows in
Wake of Resignation of
DR.. Fucker Saturday

COLLEGE PARK, Md, May 6.
To get at the bottom of the dis
pute between the student body
and DR.. Raymond A. Pearson,
University of Maryland president,
student leaders issued call early
today for a mass meeting of fac
ulty members and students to-
night in the engineering audi
forum of the university.
The call was issued shortly
after the students reported for
class in the wake of the resigna-
ton of DR.. A. E. Fucker, dean of
the modern language department,
because of differences existing be-
tween him and DR.. Pearson.
Called for 8 O'Clock
Marshall Matthias, editor of the
campus publication, the Diamond
back, and Warren Tydings, preSi-
dent of the Student Government
Association, issued the call. The
meeting is expected to open at 8
o'clock.
At the meeting the executive
council of the Student Govern
ment Association and all univer-
sity fraternities will be represent
ed. It is not known if the school
president will be present.
Others invited to attend are
members of the board of regents
and faculty members who have
rendered their designations during
recent months.
Launches Attack
DR.. Fucker rendered his resigna.
ton late Saturday and bitterly at
tackled DR.. Pearson in a statement
issued at the same time. He de-
clared he was leaving to take a
position on the staff at the Uni
versity of North Carolina. He said:
Accidentally, conditions have
grown so bad under the present
administration that even the I'M
dergraduates have complained.
Despite numerous designations
during the last eight years there
has been brought to our campus
not one recognized scholar who
enjoys even the mild distinction
of being listed in Who's Who.
"FOr eight years, with grow
ing indignation, / have watched
the deterioration of this univer-
Sity which gave such fine prom
Use under President Woods and
Dean Lee. Because of an hon
est difference of opinion with
the administration regarding the
necessity to university of
scholars and books, 1 prefer to
leave for a place where other
ideals obtain"
OFFERED PAY RAISE
DR.. Parsons comment on the
resignation was:
II have learned with regret
that DR.. Fucker has resigned
from the faculty. He has rem
dered good service for a long
period of time. The board of
regents offered to increase his
salary as much as seemed pos
sible, but DIR. Fucker has found
it to his best interest to accept
another position"

Islands in Question
As Japs Quit League

Geneva, March N.-R-Japan's
resignation from the League Of Ma
tions, which will take effect at mid
night, raised doubts Wednesday as to
who ultimately controls the Pacific
islands seized from Germany and
turned over to Japan under . League
mandate.
The Tokyo government was gener-
ally expected to retain control over
the islands under supervision Of the
Leagues mandate commission. The
delicate question Of sovereignty over
the inundated territories. however,
raised an issue on which Geneva ex-
perts disagree.
Some say that the allied and asso-
ciated powers. Of which the United
States was one, are vested with SOW
ereignty over the islands and have
entrusted their administration to Ja-
pan under League supervision. Hence,
it IS argued. only the allied powers
can deprive Japan Of her mandate.
Others contend that the allied and
associated powers yielded sovereignty
over the various mandated territories
to the League and that, therefore, the
League is entitled to determine what
nation shall control them.
