Operates i'm
Capt. al

A new pants" thief is work
ing in Washington, a complaint to
police today disclosed.
This type Of house breaker is
reported centering his activities in
the Northeast section. His method
is working in similar to that Of q
colored man who operated in Balti-
more and Washington a little
more than three years ago.
Last night, according to police,
he entered the home Of Fisher
Madeory, GIT Fourteenth st. N. E.,
through an unlocked rear first
floor window. He made his way
to Mr.. Madeoy's room on the
second floor and took Mr.. Madeoy's
trouSer from chair.
In the pockets were Mr.. Madeoy's
bill fold, containing $51, and q

SENATOR
AMARKSMAN

If Mr.. Ripley should go out to
Berwyn Heights one Of these
mornings he would see something
that might be Of some interest to
him.
To be more specific, he would
see a blind man shooting at a
target at IS PAGES, and hitting it
The blind man would be Senator
Thomas Schall of Minnesota. Not
that the Senator goes out every
morning and shoots, but If the
occasion arises he can and will
prove to you that he is an expert
marksman, although he has been
blind for more than 80 years.
Some years ago the late DR.
James Coupal, personal physician
to the late Calvin Coolidge, and
a group of friends were spending
the day at Senator Schall's place
at Berwyn. They had nailed an
old auto license tag to fence and
were shooting at it. None seemed
to be able to hit it. Schall, guided
by his son, Thomas, jr., Strolled
along and chided them for being
poor shots. Then he said:
81 may be blind, but I can hit
it."
They thought he was joking.
but he took one Of the pistols and
shot twice, at a distance of Is
PAGES. The first shot was a
bulls eye. The second was not
so accurate, but pierced a corner
Of the tag.
The explanation is quite SIM
pie. Senator Schall, before he
became blind, was a good shot.
since losing his sight he has de
veloped his other senses to a
remarkable degree. He was able
to hit the target by having his
son throw some gravels at it.
When the gravelS hit the tag Mr..
Schall was able, by sound, to
place it accurate as to distance
and height. AS he explained, lit
was easy" as he had already mas
tered the trick of shooting.
81 quit after that second
shot," he said in telling of the
incident. 81 didn't want to spoil
such a good record! 1 don't
claim to make a hit every
time"
Many Of his friends have heard
Of his shooting and when they
visit him they ask him % show
them how he does it. They gasp
in amazement. He smiles ano
says it is nothing at ALL"

Ken Murray
Says
FAREWELL TO ARMS"


Sounded like old times be-
low the Rio Grande to hear
about those Mexican bandits
sticking-up five America n
bankers, and relieving them of
their guns Evidently, our cit
izens don't get any more protec-
ton down there than they do
up here.
To listen to the financiers'
story, they all acquitted them
selves fearleSsly, when con-
frOnted by danger. OF course,
being bankers, this has to be
discounted a lot.
Newspaper reports say that
the attackers were really rev0lu-
tionists, but anybody who can
get anything out Of a banker
these days, I'd call. a magician.
AND FURTHERMORE:
No bank officials should be
allowed to cross the border.
It not only makes their families
nervous. but also, the de-
pOsitorS.

CITIZENS WANT
u. U.S.T0P0LICE
NEW TOWN
County to Seek Lump
Sum to Provide
For Education

MT. RAINIER, Oct. 17.-Prince
Georges County commissioners,
who will meet with Rural Re
settlement Administration heads
late today to discuss complaints
against the proposed five and a
half million dollar Tugwell-town
at Berwyn Heights, will make two
demands.
One demand is that the Federal
Government provide a lump sum
for school needs and for policing
the town, once it becomes occu-
pied by the 1000 low-income fami-
lies. The other, an alternative, is
that if no lump sum is made avail
able, that the property, once it is
purchased by an individual, be.
come asseSsable by the county, so
the residents may pay their share
of the county government.
The board will not ask that the
work be closed down, said Perry
Boswell chairman of the board.
With assurances that tranSients
will not be housed there or that
the residents be potential public
charges, Mr.. Boswell said he would
back the work, which eventually
will put the wealth of 1000 homes
on the tax books.
Berwyn Heights town commits
Sioners last night withdrew their
objections to the new town, after
confering with resettlement Of
ficials in Washington. Town heads
were told that only white families
will occupy the new village.

CANNON
I EXPLAINS
NEW LAW
Advocacy Of System
Only Is Barred
to Teachers

Clarification of the intent Of
the District appropriation bill
rider, prohibiting the teaching or
advocating" of Communism in the
local public schools, came today
from two sources.
One was a decision of the Board
Of Education and the other was
statement from Representative
Clarance Cannon CD of Missouri,
chairman of the House subcom.
mittee which sponsored the rider.
Both held that under the Ian
guage of the legislation the teach
ers may teach the subject aca-
demically, but are prohibited from
advocating the Russian form of
government.
Board Allows It
Authority to present the facts
as to the Russian form of gov.
ernment was granted at a session
of the Board of Education late
yesterday, during which the ques-
ton was argued vigorously by two
factions on the school body.
The value of communism as a
subject to be taught in the schools
was not discussed. The only uues-
ton before the board was the
Interpretation of a rider to the
District appropriation act provid-
ing that mo part of any appro-
priation for the public schools
shall be available for the payment
of the salary of any person teach
ing or advocating communism.
Gilligan Upheld
Voting down the majority re-
port of its legislative committee,
the board, by a vote of 6 to 2,
supported the opinion of its COM
mittee chairman, Henry Gilligan,
and upheld the opinion of Cor
poration Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman that the intent of Con-
gress was not to prohibit the dis
cuSsion of communism-only its
advocacy.
Dissenting members of the
school body, Henry I. Quinn and
Benjamin L. GaSkinS, submitted
a report contending that Congress
meant that Communism should
not only not be advocated, but
not tuaght. This report contained
several definitions of the word
teach" all of which intended to
prove that Congress intended to
legiSlate against even the discus
sion of Communism in the local
schools.
Mr.. Gilligan, in support of his
report, said he had discussed the
subject with Maj. Daniel j. Dono.
van, District auditor, who, he said,
was in complete accord with the
Corporation Counsel's opinion.
Offers New Slant
Meanwhile, new slant on the
controversy came from the Capital.
Congress intended that the Dis.
trict school teachers should "men.
ton" communism in their class
rooms merely as an existent fact
and that they should not go out
Of their way to explain it or ex.
pound its principles, Representa-.

ROY 5. BRADEN,
COUNTY HEAD,
UNDERFIRE
Doubt Exists as to
How Board Will
Vote atMeetinq

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Oct. 16.-Efforts made year
ago to dismiss County Manager
Roy s. Braden as head of Airing
ton County's managerial form Of
government will be revived this
year, according to several county
officials.
Sixty days notice is required to
terminate the contract held by the
county manager. which runs
through December. Should a ma
jority of the five board members
desire to make 3 change. it would
be necessary to give Mr.. Braden
his notice not later than Octo-
Der 80, the date of the next regu-
lar board meeting.
Saved by SnagS
Two snags marred the success
of last years efforts to oust the
manager, who is rounding his
fourth year in office. When the
first vote was taken on the is
sue, in october of last year,
Board Member Lyman M. Kelley
was then absent from the board
meetings pending the result OF
thu court action which later re-
moved him from office, and the
board vote was deadlocked in a
"a tie.
The second snag came when,
following the appointment OF a
successor for Kelley, a majority
vote was recorded in favor OF
removing Mr.. Braden, but the
deadline for giving him the so
days notice had passed.
No changes have been made
in the membership of the board
since the 80 vote last November
and observers here declare the
action is likely to be taken at
the meeting of october 80. An
other prominent county official
has been named by these observ'
ers as the majority'S choice as
a successor for Mr.. Braden.
Voted Against Braden
Three members voting for a
change last year were Col. Chris
topher Garnett, William A. E.
McShea and Benjamin M. Smith,
the latter now chairman Of the
board.
Those voting to retain Mr..
Braden last year are Mrs. Eliza
beth Magruder and Harry Eel
lows.
A poll of the five members to-
day by the Washington Times re.
vealed that Mrs. Magruder and
Mr.. Fellows are still strongly in
favor of retaining the manager,
while the three that voted
against him last year are non
committal.
Would Be Suicidal"
Mrs. Magruder and Mr.. Fellows
hold that Mr.. Braden'S work had
been very satisfactory" and that
a change at this time, when so
many huge projects were under
way in the county, would be a
terrible mistake" Mr.. Fellows
declared he would regard a
change as suicidal"
Mr.. Braden's position pays
$4,000 per year. He has held the
job since the county inaugurated
the county management form of
government four years ago.
