HOWARD GIVEN
CLEAN BILL IN
PWA PROBE
Trustees in Stormy Session in
New York, DR.. FIexner
withdrawing in Anger"

No irregularities of any kind
have been uncovered in connec-
ton with the construction of new
facilities at Howard University
out of PWA funds, and the in
vestigation conducted by agents
of the Public Works Administra-
ton was of a routine" character
only.
Official assurance to this effect
came from PWA headquarters
today in the wake of trustees
meeting in New York at which,
according to reports reaching
here, concern bordering on indig-
nation was expressed behind the
locked doors of an executive ses-
sion.
"Withdrew In Anger"
It was reported that DR.. Abra-
ham Flexner, chairman of the
board, withdrew in anger" from
the meeting, following a discus
sion of the subject.
A calmer atmosphere prevailed
today when it was explained that
all projects financed from PWA
funds are similarly investigated to
make sure that the money is
spent properly. A spokesman
for those in charge of such prof.
ects, who would not allow his
name to be used, said:
81 cannot understand why
the trustees of Howard Uni
verSity should get excited over
the investigation. 1t was purely
routine, and the records give
those in charge of the work a
clean bill of health. There is
no ground whatever for crit
icism of the manner in which
the money has been spent"
GET TWO MILLIONS
A total of $2,294,811 has been
allocated to the university by the
PWA for new buildings and equip
ment. This sum was made avail
able in several separate awards.
Among the facilities so fl
nancea were new chemistry and
classroom buildings and a new
power plant.

Buys Powell
Art at Castle Sale

Lucien Powell has been dead
many years, but his widow sat in
the state dining room of Hender-
son Castle today and bid for one
of his paintings.
"Springtime" went to Mrs.
Powell for $55. Probably no one
knows what was paid for it origin
ally. It has been said that the
artist of the immediate post-Civil
War days hired a plumber and
paid him in pictures.
For every other picture sold at
the morning session there we're
three sold with Powell's signature
scrawled on them. The top price
was $500, paid by an 81. M. H."

GIVEN AS JUDGE
HAS A HEART

Judge Ralph Given proved he
was man of human sympathies,
in Police Court yesterday, when he
took the personal bond of two
men-one of whom had dirty
automobile tags, and the other,
the father of seven children, who
was looking for two of them.
Jack N. Beach, the father of
the seven children, testified two
of them were lost yesterday and
that while looking for them he
didn't notice the red light he was
charged with passing.
Fred A. White, a taxicab driver,
was charged with having dirty
automobile tags, but the judge
said everybody has dirty tags now,
and took the mans personal bond.

VIEW
Of BILL BASIS
Of ATTITUDE
Senate Committee Informed
New Plan Would Put
System in Politics

Citing opposition expressed by
number Of citizens at a recent
public hearing, the District Com.
missioners today recommended
against the passage of a bill before
Congress which provides for the
election of the members of the
Board of Education.
The bill has been introduced at
various sessions of Congress since
1925 and on each occasion the
Commissioners have opposed its
passage.
Report To King
In a report to Senator William
H. King, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, the Commits
sioners stated:
"At recent public hearings re-
garding the powers Of the Com.
miSsiOnerS over municipal af-
fairs a rather widespread senti-
ment was expressed among
civic organizations opposing any
change in regard to the public
school system which might tend
to bring the operations Of that
system more nearly in contact
with political affairs.
"Quite obviously the election
of the Board of Education would
necessarily bring that board di-
rectly into politics. It Is be-
leved, therefore, that the wide
spread sentiment of these civic
organizations would be against
the pending bills"
Under the terms of the bill the
nine members of the Board of
Education would be elected for
three-year terms and any person
living in the District for more
than one year and 81 years of
age would be qualified to vote.
The city would be divided into
voting precincts. the elections to
be under the control of the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Oppose Tax Refund
The Commissioners also ex-
pressed opposition to a bill author.
izing the appropriation of $780,
900 to refund illegally" assessed
taxes for paving roadways or lay.
ing curbs in the District.
In a letter to Mrs. Mary T.
Norton, chairman of the House
District Committee, the Commits.
sioners endorsed a measure which
calls for the changing of the
name of Leffler Place Northwest,
to Second Place. The street runs
between Olgethorpe and Peabody
Streets.
The Commissioners pointed out
that an approximate extension Of
this street between Longfellow and
Madison Streets and between
Tuckerman and Underwood Streets
is now designated as Second Place
and the change of name would
make the street more easily
located.
