SCHOOL DECISION
MAY Be DELAYED
Status of NONRESIDENT Pu.
pills Due to Receive
Further Study.

Lois Kemp probably will not know
until next Wednesday whether she
can enroll in Gordon Junior High
School. although Corporation Coun-
sci Elwood H. Seal already has recon-
mended that she be allowed to enter
classes there until January 81, or
until the appeal Of her fathers suit
can be decided by the District Court
Of Appeals.
School authorities, meanwhile,
awaited receipt of the Seal recon-
mendation from the District Com
missioners. to whom 1t was submitted
yesterday.
Seal suggested that the 11-year-old
Clarendon, Va, girl and any other
non-residents whose fathers are en-
ployed in Washington be permitted
to enroll with the understanding that
their status can be reconsidered at
the end of the present term of school
January 81. Through Robert E.
Lynch, counsel for Lois father, John
S. Kemp, it was announced that the
condition is acceptable.
1t was expected that members of
the Board of Education would be
polled today and tomorrow to deter
mine whether they will agree to the
Seal suggestions. but under rules Of
the board if single member declines
to vote, the subject will have to be
presented at a regular meeting of the
board.
1t Is known there Is a division of
opinion among board members as to
the meaning of the law governing tie
admission of nonresident pupils in
the public schools, but the members
have not expressed themselves on the
corporation counsers suggestions since
Justice Jennings Bailey ruled that
the Kemp girl cannot be barred.
The proposed poll will be made by
Charles B. Degges, secretary. but it
was not expected to be undertaken
until after DR.. Frank w. Ballou, SUI
perintendent, can confer with Mrs.
Marion Wade Doyle, president Of the
board.
Meanwhile, Lois Kemp is continu-
ing her studies under q private tutor
within q few blocks Of the school she
hopes to enter.

ments with sales of $144,119,000.
Met sales exceeded the 1929 peak

the percentage changes in net sales
are affected by variations in price
levels between the census years. which
are not taken into consideration in
this release, but which will be evalu-

This statement follows by two

PASTOR ASSA|LS
WOODR|NG STAND
Foundry N. E. Minister
Charges "Treason" in
Liquor Controversy.

Treason to the best interests Of
the Nation and of the Army" was
charged against Acting Secretary of
War Woodring last night by Rev.
Frederick Brown Harris, pastor of the
Foundry M. E. Church, in a denuncia-
ton of the cabinet officers overruling
Walter Reed officials on granting a
dealer license for liquor selling near
the Walter Reed Military Hospital.
The pastors criticism was voiced
at the midweek services of his church.
Abuse Of High Office.
Declaring the action was a prosti-
tuition of high Office ito debauch hu-
man life," the pastor said:
THAT an acting member Of the
Presidents cabinet should without
argument or reason override the pro-
tests Of doctors and hospital authori-
ties and by his personal influence in
sist on the selling Of intoxicating
liquor at the very gates of an Army
controlled institution is q spectacle
which reveals public service at its
lowest level. That a great hospital
should have q breeding place
for the black peril planted at its
very gates by the Secretary of War, in
spite of protests, is q spectacle to
make angels weep and good citizens
tremble for the future of the democ-
racy which exalts men with such at
titudes to high position. Such q
h1gh-handed act by liquor conscious
head Of the War Department is
treason to the best interests of the
Nation and Of the Army. Such an
act on his part manifests q callous
disregard which disqualifies him for
any future usefulness.
What sinister sympathy or relation
to the traffic explains his attitude he
only leaves us to surmise.
The sooner his place at the cabi-
net table is occupied by one worthy
OF that circle of advisers around the
President. the better"
Board Plans Conference.
While public discussion of the con-
troversy thus becomes more heated,
the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
has completed plans for conference
next Friday at 2 pm. with Spokesman
OF public and private hospitals on this
particular problem.
When application for the contested
permit near the Walter Reed Hospital
was filed the board rejected it because
OF protests made by authorities of the
institution. Subsequently, however,
Secretary Woodring wrote the board
saying there should be no special
policy applied in connection with the
military center, but that the board
should be guided by its usual custom
in issuing permits.
The permit then was granted and
the issue became one of public con-
troversy. with citizens groups and
church organizations condemning those
fayoring the permit. ~.

RISING GOLD SUPPLY
MY PRODTCE A ROOM

1t would be a fine JOKE on somebody
If gold that priced and maligned yellow
metal from which nation after nation
has cut the moorings of its currency
should yet be the means through which
a suffering world might re-enter the
magic land of prosperity.
Such a possibility is actually in the
cards. w neither it will in fact be dealt
out is of course, an open question; but
it is there, waiting for the fates to bring
1t forth, if they are so minded.
A writer in recent issue of the New
Republic pointed out, for one thing, that
there has been an immense increase in
the stock of monetary gold held in the
United States. In 1880, that stock stood
at about $4,000, 100000; today, it is near
~ S10,500,000, 900.
Furthermore, the excess reserves of
Federal Reserve member banks are so
great that approximately 100000, 100000
of additional loans could be made
against them.
Thus if initiation means issuance of
new money and extension of credit, we
could have a big, healthy dose of it in
this country even if we anchored our
currency most solidly to gold.
But that is only part of the picture.
In June, the London Economist pointed
out that world production of gold has
depression. Before the depression, the
record for world production was set in
1915, with an output of 23,000,000
ounces In 1885, production was 3D.,
100000; by 1910, it will probably be
40,000,000.
The worlds stock of monetary gold
has been increased by more than 81 per
cent since 1929.
As if that were not enough, most of
the great nations have devalued their
currency. When stabiliZaton comes, the
worlds gold will support far more cur
rency, ounce for ounce, than it support
ed in 1929.
The result is that the world probably
will be able to issue at least twice as
much money and credit, on gold base,
as it was able to issue at the height OF
the 1929 boom.
What does all this forecast? Here's
what the London Economist says about
it:
"There is greater unused supply of
money, or potential money. IN existence
now than ever before in the history of
mankind. The gold of the Incas which
is supposed to have started the 10th
century initiation, the gold of California
after lS4S. the gold of the Rand in the
189Os-al these were trifles compared
with the increased supply of gold (mea-
sured by its monetary value) which has
piled up in the last five years"
The world in general, then, would
seem to be in for one of the most prodl-
gious booms in its history. A great IN
crease in the worlds gold supply has
always, heretofore been followed by
boom.
Can we not expect one now, with the
gold supply rising to higher point than
il has ever reached before in all history?

SPAIN GIVES THE ANSWER
TO CONNITNT.SM

Communism, basically an ldeaIlstlc
theory of absolute equality in the hu-
man race, will not work. Spain, blood
soaked in its latest revolution, tells why.
The Spanish government went too far to
ee left-so far to the left that its gov
yrnment seemed given over to Commu-
nists and Communistic sympathizers;;
The inevitable result came. Bloodshed
and pillage, named civil war, is split
ting the land.
No government attempting to prac-
tice the tenets of Communism will be
free for long for violence of the most
abhorent sort. Russia's so-called Com
munism is successful in a certain mea-
sure only because it cloaks the harshest
form Of dictatorship. 1t has survived
Imperial Valley press., 1936-07-29

only because it is not truly Communism,
but unique form of dictatorship which
denies all civil rights as they are known
in America. Even in Russia, the gov
ernment is swinging away from its
earlier practices, adopting little by little
a government similar in many respects
to that of the United States. There is
a great possibility that, in years to come,
Russias government will be much like
our own.
Spain's filtration with Communism
more nearly reached the ideals of the
Communistic party than any other ma
ton has since the Red revolution. The
result is to be read in this nations news
papers-a result of blood and strife.
Those pink-tea Americans who find
Communism the object of their mis-
advised activities might we'll study the
accounts of Spanish discord, and draw
therefrom a lesson.

HOLLYWOOD, July %. WR)-
Shirley Temple has lost the ma

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers,
according to the latest movie trade
checkup.
The conclusion was reached by
the Hollywood Reporter" trade
paper, on the basis of question
naires returned by 1892 exhibitors
throughout the country.
A SIMILAR survey made by the
Quigley (Trade) Publications a
year ago placed Will Rogers at the
top of the money-making heap,
but with the passing of the Sage
of Oklahoma, Little Shirley, in
second place, was hailed queen.
The Astaire-Rogers team rated
no better than fourth last year,
but Clark Gable held third place
in both checks.
Ten top stars according to the
1886 survey were Astaire and
Rogers. Temple, Gable, Norma
Shesrer, Claudette Colbert, Robert

10y.
Topflighters in 1885 were Rogers,
Temple, Gable, Astaire, and Rogers,
Crawford, Colbert, Dick Powell,
Wallace Beery, Joe E. Brown and
James Cagney.
Newcomers in the charmed cir
Gle are Taylor, find of the year,
Shearer and 10y, replacing Rogers,
Brown and Beery. Addition of
Shearer was no surprise, but the
rise of 10y is harder to explain,

WASHINGTON - The position of young
Senator Rush Holt Of West Virginia is aS pc
culiar it is surprising.
Nominated and elected as a liberal boy
wonder while still under the required senatorial
age of 35 Holt found the whole capital friend
ly when ne came here.
But by his own aSSduouS efforts he has
uueered himself with the national administra-
ton, the Democratic machine which dominates
West Virginia, the union mine workers who
helped elect him, and other clements, until he
is perhaps the most isolated man in the Sen
ate.
He has Az more years to serve.
1t started in a patronage row with Senator
Mat Nicely and some of the latter's political
associates. Holt stumped the state against
Nicely for the May primaries and Hollis man
was badly licked.
Then Holt lost practically his last friend
here-at least in his own party-by filbustering
the second Guffey coal bill to death at the end
of the session.
COB of his filbuster speech recently printed
in an appendix to the Congressional Record and
full Of fables from Aesop, gives little indication
of what caused Holt to keep competing for the
most unpopular man" prize.
But there's some point to a fable inter-
polated by Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri,
who told of the famous tenderfoot who went
out to hunt bears, and upon whose tombstone
it was written:
