RED RIDER" PLEA
MADE BY S|SS0N
Appeals to House to Con-
slider Measure Before

Representative Sisson, Democrat,
OF New YORK made plea to the
House today to consider before the
adjournment of Congress his bill pro-
viding for outright repeal of the red
rider to the 1896 District appro-
priation act.
The appeal came at the close of a
l5-minute speech in which SiSSon
briefly reviewed the history of the
red rider" and its effect upon teach
ers and pupils in the public schools.
Sisson also criticized tactics adopted
by Representative Blanton, Democrat,
of Texas in opposing the movement
for repeal of the red rider" and de-
nounced those who have attempted to
brand Supt. of Schools Frank w.
Ballou As a Communist.
Instead of being radical, Sisson de-
clared, DR.. Ballou is 'an ultra con-
servatiye-a sound educator and
Christian gentleman"
Lists Chief Opponents.
Sisson listed as chief opponents of
his bill Blanton, the Ku Klux Klan and
Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, the former
head of the Chemical Warfare Service
OF the Army, and the Heart news
papers.
The investigation made by Blanton'S
Subcommittee on Appropriations into
the alleged communistic inroads into
the public schools was described by
Sisson as an inquisition such as
might have been conducted by Philip
Of Spain or the bloody Jeffries, infa-
NOUS as the hanging judge in Eneli
history in the times Of James IL
And despite all this" Sisson de-
clared, not one single instance was
produced by any of the witnesses
where they dared or ventured to name
any teacher who they claimed had
advocated communism in the public
schools OF the District of Columbia"
Blanton Takes Floor.
Bianton took the floor to reply TO
SiSson's remarks and criticized an edi-
torial in a Washington morning news
paper for making what he described
as a "cowardly attack" on Speaker
Byrns in connection with the House
program. which will force the District
TO lose its next legislative day, May
1.-THE date on which it had been
planned 10 consider the Sisson bill.

Blsnton frequently referred to the
Sisson bill as the sissy bill'' and at
one point Sisson interrupted:
If the gentleman from Texas infers
that I am sissy I want him 10
know I can take care of myself with
out sword or visor"
Blanton also said he was not op-
posed to the bill being called up under
suspension Of the rules. but predicted
its death if it is ever voted on in the
House.
