g Communism Fear Ridicnled
DR.. West Tells Chevy Chase Women
Effect Of Proposed Law.

A RE the public schools of Wash :
~ ington "to avoid mention Of
~ Lenin SO that we will cling to
4 u the good old Americanism OF
Tugwell?".
That question was asked today by DR..
Warren Reed West, professor of
political science and assistant dean
of the George Washington University
School of Government, in an address
before the Chevy Chase Womens
Club at the Chevy Chase Library.
DR.. West was discussing the current
controversy over the teaching or ad-
vocating' of communism in the
public schools, prohibited by an
amendment to the current District
appropriations act.
II doubt" said DR.. West, that
communism as such will ever take
hold in this country. If radicalism
comes to us, the package will bear
an American label, however foreign
its contents. 1t will be offered to us
in the guise of a new shuttle or a
more abundant existence, whatever
that may mean. Those who have
such fear of communism have forgot
ten what radical notions may be ped
died under old American labels.

mention some other philosophers,

primers much nearer than Californa.
Amazing Congress.
"And this brings me to a question
that has been puzzling me ever since I
read of this legislation. Why is it that
this law should have been enacted by
the Seventy-fourth Congress, a Con-
gress that has upheld some of the
most amazing legislation ever enacted
by any Legislature in any country
legislation that seems to involve a
philosophy not essentially different
from that of some of the new Euro
pean systems. Yet it was this Con-
teachers would be tainted with rad
icalism.
Did Congress realize that it would
be impossible to explain its own legis-
lation without presenting radical phi
loSophies?
Are we to assume that Congress
enacted this legislation in ignorance Of
what it was doing? Or is Congress
merely insisting that its own brand of
radicalism be presented? Are we to
shun knowledge of the Third Inter-
rationale so that We may be limited
to the third economy and to avoid
mention of Lenin so that we will cling
to the good old Americanism of Tug
well?"
DR.. West, earlier in his address,
pointed out that the teaching of polit-
ical theory to high school boys and
girls is perhaps a waste of time, be-
cause it is not adapted to the imma-
ture mind
Dickens Students Recalled.
More likely he said. cit would
make the pupils enemies Of Karl Marx,
like the students, mentioned, believe,
by Dickens in one of his tales, who
always pricked up their ears when
Caesar was mentioned, for they con-
sidered him their worst enemy. q"

DECLINE IN DRUNK
ARRESTS HAILED
0futt's Pep Talk Shows
Rise in intoxicated
Driving Charges.

Police figures showing q decline in
arrests for drunkenness were cited as
repeal's barometer Of success" by
George W. Offutt, head of the Dis
trict's A. B. C. Board, in an address
today before local liquor dealers as
Sembled in the Labor Department
Auditorium. Offutt's sentiments were
echoed by representatives Of the Po-
lice and Traffic Departments.
In a smiling pep talk" Offutt ex-
horted the restaurant proprietors,
hotel keepers and store owners:
Let us get ourselves together in one
team and see that the drunken man
is eliminated from our society. The
figures indicate what all Of us said
would be the result of repeal legisla-
ton actually is coming to pass.
This is due mainly to the way in
which the general public has become
educated to drinking. The trend is
distinctly In the right direction. It
is your business to see that the trend
continues"
From mass of figures prepared by
the Statistics Bureau of the Police
Department, Offutt disclosed that in
every month of 1885 there were fewer
arrests for drunkenness than In the
corresponding month of 1884, and
that the "so-called celebration month"
Of December, 1885, brought the low
est number of intoxication arrests
since February, 1888.
When 'Offutt revealed that arrests
in 1885 for youths between the ages
Of II and 81 on intoxication charges
had dropped from sos to 3o5, he
said:
"You have every right to applaud
that figure. Unless we are helping
youth, we are not improving the stu
alton"
Arrests for driving while drunk,
however, rose in 1885 to 379 from 347
of 1884 Accidents caused by drunken
drivers in 1885 numbered 275. There
we're 246 in 1884. Arrests for drunk
en- driving in the 17-to-21-year-old
group in 1885 jumped to o record
of IL.
As q cure for the drunken-driving
problem. M. o. Eldridge, assistant di-
rector Of motor vehicles and traffic,
suggested that the dealers paste on
every bottle Of liquor this supple
mentary label: '.
eff you are driving. don't drink; Il
you are drinking, don't drive"
