VIRGINIA PUPIL
WINS LOCAL
SCHOOL SUIT
Court Rules DR.. BaIIou
Has No Right to
Exclude Girl, II

DR.. Frank w. Ballou, Superin-
tendent of Public Schools in the
District, exceeded his authority in
excluding an 11-year-old Clarendon
(VaJ girl from Gordon Junior
High School because of over
crowded conditions in the local
school system, Justice Jennings
Bailey ruled today in United
States District Court.
Enrolment of the child in the
District school system will be de-
layed for several months, however,
since Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Vernon E. West served notice
that he will take the case to the
Court of Appeals. Such an appeal
will suspend the order of the lower
court until hearing in the higher
court may be had.
The suit was brought through
Attorney Robert E. Lynch, former
Assistant Corporation Counsel, by
John S. Kemp, a WPA official on
duty in Washington.
Father Files Complaint
Mr.. Kemp, who lives in Claren-
don, complained in petition for
a writ of mandamuS, that his
daughter, Lois, had been excluded
from enrolment at Gordon Junior
through an arbitrary ruling OF
DR.. Ballou.
The petition quoted the statute
which reads:
GAIL pupils whose parents are
employed officially or otherwise
in the District of Columbia shall
be admitted and taught free of
charge in the schools of said
District"
1t was DR.. Ballou's claim that
the word shall contained in the
statute, was merely permiSsive and
not mandatory and that the Shool
board and officials have the dis
cretionary right to exclude non
resident pupils.
Justice Bailey asked a few
pointed questions, particularly
with reference as to whether Dis
trict pupils also were excluded
from overcrowded schools. In
formed that such was not the case
in any event, Justice Bailey said:
81 do not think any discretion
is vested in the Superintendent
to exclude one class and not
another"
REDUCES TIME
Action of the court today was
on demurrer filed by Attorney
Lynch to the answer of DR..
Ballou. Justice Bailey sustained
the demurrer and Mr. West asked
for 10 days in which to file new
answer. Justice Bailey remarked
that the child had been kept out
Of school much too long and re-
duced the time to five days.
In the discussion that followed
Mr.. West remarked hiatt nothing
in the new answer would probaly
change the courts ruling in the
present action but said he merely
wished to amplify the record for
the Court of Appeals.
The mandamus will be with
held until the new answer is filed,
but the appeal will stay its eff
fectiveness until the appeal is
heard.

"I'll dance at your wedding
It's a tradition that is almost
never carried out now.

to the church to see you married.
Hurry to your house. Reach

punch and a limp sandwich and
away I'll CO."
Here is the usual formula for
O wedding celebration.
That is until Miss Alicia
Tumulty, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph P. Tumulty, was
married on Saturday to Mr.
John Donnelly.
The celebration of their wed,
ding made history. Not only
were they handsome creatures
but each detail of the marriage

Food Prices Due To
Rise To New Top

the second time in three years. a
comprehensive survey of major COM
mOdities markets and inquiry among
food trades and dealers brought out
facts that might shed light on the
problem
1t cost the average man 80 percent
more to feed his family in June than
it did three years ago, the Depart
srent of Agriculture estimated. Mar
Fet analysts now seek to ascertain
what the rate of increase might be
this year-with farm prices at the
highest general level since 1890.
There was agreement in the COM
modities markets that the general
level of food prices would rise.
Adverse weather in North Amer
lea, parts of Europe and the South
ern Hemisphere has cut world wheat
supplies to a level indicated as the
lowest since 1927. Unless rain falls
soon, experts contend the domestic
corn crop may be the smallest since
1881. Other crops, including many
common vegetables and fruits, have
suffered. Poor pastures and lack of
feed has cut milk production. All this
has already been reflected in the
wholesale markets.
Economists asserted food prices at
retail counters probably would show
a gradual broad upturn, but food
prices could go only as high as the
general ability of consumers to pay.

DEPTHS OF POLITICAL DIRT

Even the old political spellbnders are little aghast at the low level the Presidential campaign is taking in quarters. A dirty campaign was anticipated, but the veteran mud-slingers are shocked by the latest outburst of H L. Mencken in the American Mercury. Mencken whose pen has all ways been bitter, goes beyond anything that might be termed journalistic license
 The President he describes as typical species of quacks" which he believes the Republicans can beat with Chnaman." And surrounding the Chief Exc ever gathered together at one time in Wash ington" The best of them, he charges appear to be only professional uplfters and dogooders trained no craft respectable than that of cadging and spending other peoples money And from this maxi mum they ranged quickly downward to miscellane- ous rabble of vapid young pedagogs, out-of-work Y M C. A. secretaries third-rate journalists, brietess lawyers and soaring chicken farmers
 All decent people and good Americans hold cer- tain respect for the office of President The acts and statements of the occupant open criticism but the most bombastic politicians refrain from per sonally daubing the Chief Executive with mud out of regard for the institutions and the nation which he represents. But MT. Mencken it appears has spect for anything himself for by his words he lowers himself below the level of decency. It is possible that the New York Post columnist e. E." had the right answer to MT. Mencken's foul attack when he wrote For cents or maybe thirty cents a word Mencken who uses a typewriter instead of a machne-gun accepted the job of putting the Pres- dent the spot
 Yes, either that or, perhaps the vitrolic writer is suffering from something he ate. His words sound if they came from sour stomach.
