BY the Associated Press.
A warning against centralizing cur
rency control in the Federal Reserve
Board without advice Of the regional
governors was given the Senate Bank
ing Committee today by Francis M.
Law, former president Of the Ameri-

He was joined In his criticism of
the omnibus banking bill by Henry

manager of the National Association
OF Credit Men, who declared rs per
cent of the $4,000 members Of his Or
ganization had expressed opposition to
the legislation.
Urging revision Of the section
Of the House bill which gave regional
governors only advisory authority In
open market operations, Law declared
these advisors will have no real au-
thority and I am convinced that they
should have real authority"
He recalled that the present law
puts supervision Of open market op-
erations in the hands Of commit
tee directed by the regional governors.
These governors, he declared. had a
closer contact with the pulse Of the
Nations business than the Federal
Reserve Board, spending most Of Its
time in Washington.

the handsome Danish count danced
together at the gay night club party.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. Dec. II.
If the University of Maryland
plants an evergreen magnolia tree
next spring on the grounds of the
University Hospital in Baltimore
it will be because an old Southern
Maryland Negro was longing for
the old plantation.
On a wall of the office of H. c.

soon be hung a framed letter from
the old man. ScraWled on a piece
of note paper, the letter reveals
this story:

into the busy city streets, he no

thing missing-no magnolia tree.

posed to Use of Cor
DoraI Punishment

Despite reports of physical al
tercations between students and
teachers in senior and junior
high schools in Washington-al-
tercationS said to have resulted in
injuries to teachers in some cases
corporal punishment is unnec-
esSary in preserving scholastic dis
cipline.
Such Is the opinion of a major
ity of local colored educators in
terviewed today by The washing
ton Times, in a survey to deter
mine reaction to a plea by DR.. c.
Herbert Marshall. local colored
physician, that the Board of Edu
cation reScind its rule forbidding
physical chastiSement of students
by teachers.
Only one of the principals Of
colored secondary schools queS-
toned by The Times believes cor
poral punishment to be justified,
and then only in extreme cases.
He qualified his remarks, however,
by Stain. his belief that problem
children" or continually obstrep-
erous pupils, should be segregated
in special institutions. He said:
Would Decline To Use It
Even if the Board of Education
decides to permit corporal punish
ment, 1 shall not use it in my
school for two reasons. One is
that when you attempt to whip
boys from = to 20 years of age,
you don't know whether you can
get away WiSh it. The second is
that you don't know the size of
the father who may appear the
next day to demonstrate with
you"
Most of the principals admitted
serious trouble with students now
and then, but expressed the opin-
ion that flogging would not cor,
rect the evil. w. L. Smith, prin-
cipal of Dunbar High School,
claimed that various measures
short of corporal punishment work
all right" He added:
Most children are amenable
to reason"
mot Foolish Long"
J. G. Logan, head of Shaw
Junior High School. maintained
the same view. he stated:
The average boy or girl today
can be dealt with as an intelligent
adult in matters of discipline"
Corroboration also came from
the principal of Armstrong High
School. G. David Houston. who ex-
planned:
Some youngster may want to
be foolish-but he doesn't get far
and We don't have to lash him" )"

With only three weeks remain
ing before the District embarks
upon its first year of social Sc
curity legislation, things are still
up in the air" regarding the
set-ups of the two organizations
which will administer the laws.
Benefits under the unemploy.
ment compensation insurance law
will not be paid for three years,
but the staff which will admins
ter the legislation must begin
work January l.
Director John Marshall, Of the
unemployment compen ton
board. estimated he will need at
least a staff Of so to handle the
classifications and filing of pay
roll reports from employers. which
must be made monthly. begin
ming January /. He added:
Just how much of a regular
staff we will need I don't know,
and won't know until the Fed
eral Social Security Board tells
us just what it expects from us.
Then things will begin rolling"
Rules and regulations governing
the administration of the law are
still to be finally approved.
Few Suggestions Made
Several weeks ago the Commits
sioners conducted public hearing,
which was attacked by business
leaders of the city. Tentative
rules and regulations we're dis
cuSSed and the business men were
asked 20 submit suggestions prior
to drafting of final rules and regu.
lations. So far only few sug.
geStions have been received.
Similar uncertainty prevails re.
garding laws regulating the old
age and needy blind pensions. Ad-
ministration of these laws has
been placed under jurisdiction Of
the Board of Public Welfare.
Welfare Director Elwood Street
has been directed by the Commits
Sioners to draft as soon as possible
tentative rules and regulations for
administration of these laws. The
preliminary drafts will be passed
on to Corporation Counsel E. Bar
rett Prettyman for suggestions be.
fore they are sent to the city
heads for approval.
Nav Need Staff Of 40
1t is estimated that a staff of
at least 40 persons will be neceS-
sary to operate the old age and
blind pensions administrations Di-
rector Street also has been told to
inform the Commissioners what
new personnel will be necessary.
The staff will be composed of
case workers, a supervisor and
legal advisors. The majority of the
staff, 1t is expected. will be drafted
from the ranks of present workers
in the board of public welfare.
Meanwhile applications for old
age pensions are being received at
the District Building, where they
began coming in several months
ago. It is yet to be determined
what the maximum and minimum
pensions are to be.
Money for setting up the admin
iStrative staff for old age pensions
is still held up by the deficiency
bill. which the late Senator Huey
P. Long. of Louisiana. tied up by
a filibuster at the last session of
Congress. District officials expect
the bill will be passed early next
month when Congress convenes.
