 Parental pride possessed by Mir and Mrs Bradley Kincald com pletely upset the regular routine of their programs in which Mrs Kin= caid is referred to as Brad's "girl friend" Irma.

At twenty-three she is play ing her first leading role in radio. When Kate Smith went to Bos- ton recently to select two addition ists for her Star Revue on Monday, January 28, she was visit ed by Jacques Renard. the radio bandleader who's a native of the Hub City. Jacques persuaded Kate to visit his magnificent new sup per club. Kate agreed, and Renard took her on a tour of inspection pointing out all its fine points. Fin ally, he insisted on demonstrating his sliding roof, explaining that it opened and closed in 20 seconds. Well, 1t opened in ten seconds al- right, but something went wrong. He couldn't shut it.

ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

The Three Rhythm Boys. youth ful trio, made up of former mem bers of the Brooklyn Juvenile Quartet. will be one of the big ate fractions tonight when the third annual minstrel show of the Itam Club is held at St Joseph's hall to- night. John Jannetty, weIl-known local entertainment director. has for months had underway the dif- ficult task of making over his former quartet into a trio, the ace ton being necessary with the loss of one of the quartet faembers. Tonight, for the first time in pub- lie the new trio will appear.
 Should the three lads directed by Johnny (who. incidentally ts di- recting the entire 1tam minstrel show tonight) so over tonight as expected, we can expect them back on the airwaveS as broad- casters. Such happening would give the city its first novelty male trio, and would be something to look forward to.

 The long arm of coincidence is well wrapped around Frank Tours, who has succeeded the Hollywood bound Oscar Bradley as tho Head liners" maestro. Bradley once played in an orchestra in London directed by Tours. Tours, like Bradley. was born in London, studied at the London conserva- tory, came to America about 20 years ago, won fame as theatrical conductor, and is now an Ameri- can citizen. Tours, like both the maestros who preceded him on the program, Bradley and Al Goodman, came to the "Headliners" broad- c4sts directly from Broadway pit conducting. And finally, Tours played in support of Will Rogers, the current "Headliner," when Win made his first London appearance just over 20 years ago.

OF BOARD HIT
Legion and Gen. Fries 0p-
pose Allowing Teachers to
Identity Principles.

Protest against the decision of the

ers in Washington public schools to
identify principles of Communism to
pupils was made yesterday from two
sources.
The American Legion, militant foe
Of Communism, speaking through Dis
trict Dept. Comdr. Joseph j. Malloy,
bitterly assailed the decision and
warned that some parents might with
draw their children from the schools
because of it. The Legion's attitude
was made known in letter to the
School Board from Dept. Comdr. NAL

The second attack on the boards
finding was made by Maj. Gen. Amos
A. Fries, active patriot and retired
Army officer, who described the deci-
sion as rotten" Gen. Fries indi-
Gated he would bring the matter be-
fore some Of the civic and patriotic
organizations with which he is affi-
lated.
The boards decision was made
few Says ago by a vote of to after
subcommittee study had been made
of ruling by Corporation Counsel e.
Barrett Prettyman that Communist
doctrines might be explained, but not
advocated to children in the public
schools.
The ruling was made as an inter-

which Congress directed payment of
salaries was to be withheld from

Aegis of Social Security
Act.

Miss Katherine F. Lenroot, chief Of
the Children's Bureau Of the Labor
Department, appealed yesterday for q
partnership" under the aegis Of the
social security act, Of all governmental
and private agencies concerned with
child welfare. She said the problems
produced by the needs of half a mil
lion dependent, neglected and de-
linquent children" could be met only
by concerted action.

conference in New York of the Child
Welfare League Of America, OF which
the Division of Child Welfare, Dis
trict Board Of Public Welfare, and
the Juvenile Protective Association
here are members. Mrs. w. A.
Roberts, executive secretary Of the
Washington Council Of Social Agen-
cies, is a member of a committee
which the league is forming to assure

pend chiefly on the extent to which
State cooperating agencies can be
clothed with adequate legislative
authority and equipped with qualified
leadership and personnel.

In the present instance. the Secre-
tary's warning is directed to the In

In circular letter making the
rounds today, the Secretary says:
Many employees are attempting to
use political pressure to secure other
assignments or increases in salaries
These special requests have grown in
volume to point where the staff in
my Office is unable to handle them.
Notice is hereby given to all en-
ployes that requests of this nature will
be ignored and will not enhance their
standing for future advancement. An
Office cannot operate on theory that
employees can regulate the assignment
of duties either directly or through po-
litical influence Once an applicant
has been employed, he should be con-
