In Arkansas the waters threatened

allowed their children to go to safer
quarters. Truck gardeners and fish

Armed citizens and National Guards

project in a survey of school construc-
ton needs sent some time ago to Sec
retary IckeS.
The TrueSdell School Is now COM
posed of the old four-room building,
erected in 1908, and an eight-room
wing constructed six years ago. The
old part of the building was Origi-
nally the Brightwood Park School and
although designed to house only four
classes, two basement rooms had to be
utilized because of the demand of the
large number of children in the
vicinity.
These basement rooms are not
properly ventilated or lighted, but
equally as bad is the old type heating
plant that joins them. That anti
quated furnace is constructed to burn
only soft coal and the little kinder
garten and primary pupils are forced
to use them throughout the school
year. Even in the early Fall and
Spring months, when the heating
plant is not in operation. the black
dust is present.
No Sixth Grade Facilities.
With the drafting of these two
emergency" rooms, the TrueSdell
School still was without facilities for
the sixth grade. making it one of
the few elementary. schools in the
city unable to accommodate all of
the elementary classes.
About six years ago a new wing
of eight rooms was constructed hut
the overcrowded condition was not
relieved and Truesdell is still without
the sixth grade. At present there
are 68 fifth grade pupils enrolled
who next Fall will have to leave
the neighborhood to continue their
schooling.

PRESIDENT FIRM
ON SECURITY BILL
Move to Cast Part of Plan
Aside for Present Meets
Rebuff.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A move in Congress to cast part of
the administrations social security
plan aside until the next session
brought assertions from informed
sources on Capitol Hill today that such
a suggestion already had been turned
down by the President.
CongresSmen who declined to be
quoted by name said Mr.. Roosevelt
had been insistent that the social
security bill should include unemploy-
ment insurance and aid to dependent
mothers and children, along with old
age pensions and annuities.
The comment resulted from the ac-
tivity of Representative Isabella
Greenway, Democrat of Arizona,
close friend of the Roosevelts. She
had obtained enough signatures on
a petition to force Democratic caucus
on the question of lifting old-age pen
sionS out of the security bill and en-
acting them as a separate measure.
The attitude of some of the Is who
signed that petition was that more
study should be given to other things
in the broad plan, and that this was
no time to levy taxes on pay rolls and
earnings for contributory old-age pen
SionS and for unemployment insurance
Some others contended it might be
months before the whole plan was
approved while the need for old-age
pension laws was immediate.
Two months ago the House Ways
and Means Committee started the
study of the plan suggested by the
President. After the hearings. some
committeeman expressed the feeling
that everything but old-age pensions
should be scrapped for the time being
That question, Representatives said.
was put up to the President in two
White House conferences. Both times,
they reported, he refused to approve
such a change.
Committee Meets Tomorrow.
After those conferences numerous
votes were taken in the committee on
