KALORAMA GROUP
HITS RED" RIDER
Board of Estimates Pro-
posaI Approved by Citi-
zers' Association.

Approval of the Sisson bill, to repeal
the "red rider" banning the teaching
of communism In the public schools
was voiced in q resolution adopted
last night by the Kalorama Citizens
Association.
In another resolution, the associ-
alton Endorsed plan whereby
Congress shall establish q perma-
nent Board of District Estimates, con-
sisting of the Commissioners, repre-
sentative of the Secretary of In
terror, a representative of the Bureau
of the Budget and such other officials
as may seem proper"
The resolution declared that the
Commissioners estimates "intelligently
and conscientiously compiled are often
so inconsiderately cut by the Federal
Bureau of the Budget that appropIi-
ations for vital needs Of the commu-
nifty are eliminated or reduced below
the margin of safety"
1t was contended that the plan
would provide means "to determine
the proper contribution Of the Fed
eral Treasury to the expenses OF the
District of Columbia in truly equit-
able proportion"
Miss Eta L. Taggart reiterated the
stand OF the group favoring national
representation for the citizens of
Washington.
Work Week Plan Scored.
The proposed 4O-hour work week
for women in the District was con-
demned as ''unsound in principle and
unfair in practice" and Congress was
asked to base welfare provisions on
the nature of the work rather than
on the sex OF the worker"
The 4S-hour work week for women
now In effect here "is regarded by
the International Labor Office as the
ideal work week, and, since men here
enjoy 48-hour week enforced by la
Dor, both sexes are now on parity"
the opposing resolution stated.
The drastic penalties, burdensome
records and the increased pay roll
would cause the replacement Of wom-
en- by men in many industries and
would thus deprive adult women of
an opportunity to earn a living" 1t
was further declared.
The meeting was addressed by Miss
Mary E. Coulson of the Council of
Social Agencies, who explained the
probation system bill sponsored by
her organization, and deplored cuts
made in grants for probationary ac-
tivities; and by Miss Laura Berrian,
member of the bar, who told of the
pending Juvenile Court bill.

MAXWELL APPEAL
WEIGHED BY COURT
Lack of Evidence and I'm.
proper Instructions Stress.
ed in Argument.
BY the Associated Press.

by tFle ASSOClateu fTeSS.
RICHMOND, March 10.-InsufIlcien-
cy of evidence and improper instruc-
tions to the jury were set forth as chief
points in the appeal of Edith Maxwell
for writ of error in arguments be-
fore the Supreme Court of Appeals
yesterday.
Alfred A. Skeen of Clintwood, the
only one Of the three attorneys for
the young Wise County school teacher
to speak during the 30-minute argu-
ment, told the court.that when it had
considered this record it will be at
loss to account for the return of
verdict of first-degree murder"
The defendant was convicted in
Wise County Circuit Court of the
Staying of her father, Trigg Max
well, and is under sentence of 25 years
Imprisonment. The appeal to the
Virginia Supreme Court was taken
after Judge H. A. w. Skeen refused
to set aside the verdict.
Mr.. Skeen declared in his argu-
ment that the Circuit Court should
have instructed the jury as to second
degree murder and manslaughter, as
well as flrst-degree murder, but that
the defense did not request such in
structions at the trial because it
would have forced abandonment of
our plea of self-defense."
"There is one vital point in this
petition, to my mind" Mr.. Skeen told
the Supreme Court justices, "and If
my premises are right other assign
ments of error set forth here would
become moot questions. That point Is
the insufficiency of the evidence to
uphold the verdict
II am not unmindful of the weight
which attaches to the verdict of
jury upheld. by a court" he CT t.ltinued.
but when this court har considered
this record it will be at loss to ac-
count for the returning of verdict
of flrst-degree murder"
The court will announce a deci-
sion in two to three weeks"

addition, Mr.. Sanders said that ap-
proximately $4,000 was paid annual
Iy in administrative costs in the

If the program is not rescued, it
will mean the loss of jobs for half
dozen or more full-time employees

work part-time in season in super

fees at State College in Raleigh to do

The $4,000 or $4,000 yet due to
farmers, and which they will loss un-
less provision is made by the Fed
eral government for it's payment, is in
adjustments on crop reduction pro-
grams. Officials in Washington con-
slider this legitimate government OBJ
legation, and it appears probable that
the government will undertake to
make settlement for this, even if new
