THREE CONSIDERED
FOR KRAMER POST.
No Official Action Taken
Yet on Filling Vacancy
in School System.

At least three persons are being
considered as possible successors to the
late DR.. Stephen e. Kramer as first
assistant superintendent of schools, ac-
cording to rumor and reports In school
circles.
No official action has been taken on
the selection and the Board of Educa-
ton has not indicated when applica-
tions will be received. Because of the
responsibility of the position, however,
it Is expected that the matter will be
taken up at the boards next meeting a
week from tomorrow.
Speculation names Miss BERTHE
Backus, assistant superintendent In
charge of the character education ex-
pertinent; Ellis A Haworth, head Of
the science department in the high
schools, and Chester w. Holmes. prin-
cipal of Anacostia Junior-Senior High
School, as being considered.
Backed by Association.
Holmes, according to rumors In the
schools, has the backing Of the Junior
High School Principals Association.
It is known that for some time he
has been considered as possible ap-
pointee as assistant superintendent
in charge of junior high schools. Gre
alton Of such position has been asked
of Congress, and the bill is still pend
ing. It was designed originally with
the idea to relieve Dr. Kramer of some
Of his tasks, since he had supervision
Of both the Junior and senior high
schools.
Miss Backus' name has been linked
with the position because Of the op-
position in Congress to continuing the
character education experiment. The
House, in the District appropriation
bill, eliminated all funds for the ex-
pertinent, including the sum for Miss
Backus' salary.
She Is regarded as highly qualified.
however, by both DR.. Frank w. Bal
lou, superintendent, and by members
of the Board of Education.
Haworth Has Support.
DR.. Haworth is said also to have
considerable support. some Of it
emanating from the District Building.
Before taking any action, however,
the board will follow its usual policy
of asking for applications, both from
those now in the school system and
from outsiders qualified for the post.
It has been the policy in the past to
give preference to persons already in
the system whenever possible, second
choice to residents of the District and,
finally, as last resort, to persons
from the outside.
Whatever action Is taken Is ex-
pected soon. The post Of first assist
ant Is regarded as too important to
remain vacant through the long Sum-
mer recess and 1t is not expected that
the board viii defer action until Fall.

Washington carpenter, was ordered
held last night by Calvert County
coroner's jury investigating the death
of his fishing companion, Hugh Bev-
erly Henderson, %, also Of Washing
ton, whose body was found floating in
Chesapeake Bay yesterday.
The jury, which will resume the
hearing tonight, heard Roy Johns,
Washington printer and friend of the
dead man, describe the death victim
as fond of Stinson's wife" Johns
story will be further investigated, 1t
Is believed, when Mrs. Stinson ap-
pears before the jury tonight.
According to an autopsy performed
In the Calvert County Hospital by
DR.. Hugh Ward of Owings, Fender

tured skull, but no trace of water was

Stinson's Story of Tragedy.
StinSon, who lived with Henderson
at 2111 First street in Washington for
about a year, said Henderson and he
left WilburR's Beach for fishing trip
late Saturday afternoon, but shortly
after they ventured into the bay, Fen
derson dropped one of his oars in the
water and dove after it. Becoming wor-
ried when his companion failed to re-
turn to the craft, Stinson said, he
called to him. Henderson, he declared,
replied: THE waters not deep. can
stand in it," That was the last he
heard from the dead man, Stinson
said.
DR.. Ward told the jury last night he
did not believe Henderson could have
uttered a word" if he had injured
himself by diving into shallow water.
According to Johns, who lives in
the 1400 block Trinidad street north
east, Henderson declared he intended
to ask Stinson to grant his wife
divorce. Johns quoted Henderson as
saying he would TASK for the divorce
on Saturday"
States Attorney Arthur w. Dowell
went to Washington last night to dis
cuss the case with Mrs. Stinson. Dur
ing their years acquaintanceship,
6tinson and Henderson did carpentry
work together, it was said.
Although the accident occurred
early Saturday night, it was not
until after about SO hours dragging
that Fenderson's body was found, bob
bing in grotesque, nearly vertical
position.
Stinson, seen padding the boat
ashore with his shoes by 11-year-old
Byron Purdy of Baltimore, who was
playing on the beach, went to Wash
ington, but returned to Wilburn's
Beach at the request of Justice Ar

SSC UPER-AMERICANIzED silk
worms" raised to put
United States silk dealers
on par with the ancient and
fascinating industry Of Japan-today
were placed on the wholesale market
of Washington by Albert Brodell, 13,
of 212 Cedar avenue, Takoma Park,
Md.
His worms (there are 500 Of them
in cigar boxes in his bed room) are
capable Of producing half mile Of
thread each, the young silk producer
claims, provided they don't get
squashed among the bed clothes or
fall into the fish bowl and get eaten.
Albert has been in the retail busi-
mes here for several months. There
was little competition for a while,
he admitted. when some of his GUS
toners entered the industry with
eggs or worms he has sold them.
Now, however, he has virtual mo-
nopoly on the local trade and reports
that business Is thriving.

Just three weeks ago he swung a
big deal which netted him three glass
marbles for a single silkworm. Pre-
viously he had acquired dozens of
valuable stamps with no greater cost
to himself than a thimble full of
eggs.
The local industry began three
years ago, when Albert's sister Jean,
IL, returned from 8 missionary lee
ture with eight specimens which the
speaker had given away. Albert i'm
mediately took liking to the tiny
gray worms, nursed them through the
incubation stages and fed them null
berry leaves until he became one of
the country's foremost juvenile au-
thorities and producers IN the field.
Domestic affairs interfered with
business for a while. The boys
mother, Mrs. Albert P. Brodell. wife
of an economist in the Department of
Agriculture, couldn't be persuaded
to turn the refrigerator over to her
enterprising son for storage purposes,
and Albert felt that nothing else
would be so effective In protecting the
eggs from sunlight and exposure. The
problem was finally settled by resur-

Although lacking in ambition now,
the Cooks indicated they would like to
move to the suburbs, where their other
children could get more sunshine and
fresh air.

Going to Towson.

Authorities were expected to reach
o decision today as to the disposition
Of Representative Marion A. Zion
check, whose release from Gallinger
Hospital was abruptly and mysterious
ly halted yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, superintendent
Of the municipal hospital, said he was
under orders to detain Zioncheck until
his case could be decided. DR.. Bocock
did not reveal the source Of his orders
and declared he did not know what
disposition would be made of the case!
It was learned on good authority
from another source, however, that
while Zioncheck might be removed
from Gallinger today he probably will
not be released from medical care at
this time.
Zioncheck Says He Baked.
Zioncheck talked to reporters from
the window Of psychopathic ward
this morning. He explained the sud-
den change of plans yesterday was
due to his refusal to 60 to sana-
tor1um IN ToWSon, Md.
cd The Washington State Representa-
tive, who has been under mental OBJ
servation at Gallinger for more than
two weeks, declared he made four re-
quests of authorities.
The first was, Release me-; the Sec
ond, ''let me go to st. EliZabeth's
Hospital, where my condition can be
determined definitely; the third,
Give me jury trial." and the fourth,
Let me call five Of the country's most
prominent psychiatrists, whom I Sc
lect."
zioncheck said that several weeks
ago. Representative O'Conner. chair
man of the House Rules Committee,
and Representative Sisson, author of
the bill to repeal the red rider, asked
him to go to the Towson sanitarium
but he declined.
Report Is Withheld.
AL preparations had been made to
transfer Zioncheck yesterday after
noon. Psychiatrists at Gallinger had
prepared a report on zioncheck's con-
dition, which was withheld when the
plans we're changed. The Representa-
tive had dressed and packed his suit
case.
A District sedan was waiting outside
the psychopathic wing of the hospital.
Reporters and photographers were
grouped outside the building. Zion
check came into an upstairs corridor
and looked out through window. He
singled out reporter below whose
articles had given him offense and
shouted a denunciation.
It was said Zioncheck changed his
mind about leaving Gallinger Hospital
when he learned that four guards had
been assigned to accompany him to
Baltimore.
