Thousands Of tons Of mutt
lated" machine guns-"easily re-
paired"-are purchased from the
Army by munitions dealers as
junk, the Senate Munitions Com
mittee was told today.
Jacob Paley, Of New York. who
described himself as q Junk
dealer" testified that in 1888 he
purchased at the Schenectady

Hotchkiss machine guns for ap-
proximately IL cents apiece. They
cost the Army about $700 each,
he testified.
Never Been Used
Paley said that most Of the
gunS-'moSt Of which had never
been used"-were stored in the
warehouse Of the LuckeKiffe Co.,
New York, sporting goods dealers.
Paley said he purchased the
Marlin guns to sell as souvenirs,
adding:
MY only interest in the pur-
chase Of the HOtchkiss guns was
to get the Martins. 1 had TO
purchase the whole lot TO get
them"
Paley displayed to the commit
tee circulars advertising the Mar
lin guns as souvenirs. Under Q
picture of the gun are the words:
World War relic; no parts re-
moved and appearance un-
spoiled, but rendered unservice-
able by the United States Gov.
ernment to comply with the law.
No den is complete without Its

BOARD STUDIES
RED RIDER
REPEAL

Action by the Board Of Educa'
ton looking to modification, and
possibly repeal, Of the "Red
rider" appeared likely today a.
the school body made plans to
appear before a congressional
hearing on the SiSson bill.
The legislation COMMITTEES OF
the board will probably meet
either today or tomorrow to con-
slider the Sisson bill, which would
amend the present anticommun-
ism legislation to permit the pres
entation Of factual information
on communism. The current legis-
lation prohibits the payment OF
salaries to teachers teaching or
advocating" communism.
At q meeting of the school
board yesterday. Henry I. Quinn
board member, urged immediate
repeal Of the legislation, deScrib-
ing the measure as "the most out
rageous, unjust and un,American
thing that has ever happened to
the local schools" Mr.. Quinn told
the board:
II think that this entire mat
ter should be repealed-bOth
teaching and advocating. I
don't see how there can be any
division Of opinion on this sub
ject.
ANY common ordinary crimi-
nal In . court Of justice Il pre-
gumed to be innocent until
proven guilty, yet every teacher
and emplOye Of the Board Of
Education approaches each pay
day clothed with the presunp-
ton of guilt that he has violated
his oath Of office to uphold the
United States Constitution.
1--WE ought to protest this en-
tir0 matter-gag rule or no gag
rule. We must not leave this
insult on the books"
The Sisson bill will be discussed
at a hearing of q subcommittee Of
the House District Committee early
next week. The school body plans
to hold q special meeting, if aeces-
sary, to formulate q policy before
hand to be presented to the COM
mittee.
A proposal to make a radio an
nouncement on inclement days
calling off school attendance was
laid over until the next meeting Of
the board after several members
objected and DR.. Frank w. BalloU,
superintendent Of schools, Sug-
gested the possibility that teachers
would lose q days salary If such
a policy we're pursued.
The proposal was made by Mrs.
Mary McNeill, board member, who
stated that children have been ex-
posed to all sorts Of bad weather
in recent weeks because Of bliz-
yards and icy streets.
It was objected to on the
grounds that washington weather
is not usually bad enough to neceS-
state such action and that in gen.
eral whether a child should be
permitted to go to schools should
be decided by the parents rather
than the schools.
Early construction Of a senior
high school at Fifth and Sheridan
SITS. N. W., to relieve congestion
was recommended by DR.. Ballou
in a report on the five-year school
building program now being con-
sidered by school officials.
An addition to Roosevelt High
School and other construction was
also urged by the superintendent.

COLLEGE CENTERS
ON NEW SCHEDULE
Steady Increase in Regis.
tration Reported By
Edna Harmon

A steady increase In registration
Mt the Mattatuck Collegiate centers
In both the afternoon and evening
sections OF the classes was reported
this morning by Miss Edna Har-
mon, assistant supervisor OF local
WPA educational and recreational
projects.
The local director Of the progam
stated that at the start Of the
classes about six week ago there
was some difficulty In setting up
courses which were In great de-
mand. Since that time, however, q
survey Of the main interests OF
those registered enabled the per-
sons In charge to set up o schedule
which seems to be proving satisfac-
tory.
Miss Harmon further pointed out
that II any group Of people In some
community wish TO have some par
ticular subject taught them, they
can probably arrange to have q
class given one or two nights q
week at some point conveniently
located. Organizations or clubs con-
templating such plans should get
In touch with Miss Harmon so that
arrangements can be discussed.
