by death or imprisonment, and little
evidence remained to connect Jenkin,

r. A.. which under its original statute
conferred authority on Administrator
Harry Hopkins merely to make
grants to Governors of the various
States for various relief purposes" 1t
was ruled by the controller general,
he said, that those funds, when re-
ceived by the Governors. become State
funds. The Governors then set up
what they called rural rehabilitation
corporations and part of the funds
were transferred by the Governors to
these corporations.
Then" he said, "there was an ar
rangement made, purely voluntary,
between the Resettlement Administra-
ton and the various corporations,
which were fundamentally independ-
ent Of Federal control, to transfer
their funds and subject themselves to
our administration"
He said that at the request of the
controller general. the administration
adopted the following procedure:
THAT after we had made audit of
their affairs, SO that We would know
precisely what is being transferred to
US, the corporations would then trans
fer all of their assets and funds to a
special account in the Treasury. The
funds that came in that special ac-
count would be disbursed by the Re-
settlement Administration. but sub
ject to an audit of that special &C
count by the controller general"
Resettlement Only Authority.
Senator Steiwer, however. insisted
that the Treasury and the controller
generals ONCE would have no author
ity over the funds.
THE Resettlement Administration, "
he said, is the only agency that has
any authority over these funds"
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina wanted to know whether the
controller general could hold up a
voucher for expenditure of funds by
the administration on the grounds it
is not in accordance with the law.
well, We have not actually come
across that problem yet" Pressman
replied.
Steiwer asserted that "if the con-
troller general seeks to assert any au-
thority over the disbursements of those
corporations, it is not authority of the
Federal law" and that all he could do
would be ito determine whether the
disbursements are in accordance with
the terms of the contracts"
Tugwell admitted that was right,
explaining that In his opinion, the
Federal Government no longer had
control over funds which had been
turned over to the States. The con-
troll exercised over the funds by the
Resettlement Administration, he said,
Is only by voluntary agreements be-
tween the corporations and the ad-
ministration because we are doing
this same kind Of work"
These funds" ne said, belong to
the States. We cannot recover the
control"

BALLOU PREDICTS
RED RIDER REPEAL
Righteous Cause Sure to
Triumph, Declares School
Superintendent.

In spite of the difficulties encoun-
tered, DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent Of schools. believes that even-
tually the red rider will be repealed
because "our cause is righteous"
Although he did not mention the
red rider specifically, the colored
teachers of Washington, whom he ad-
dressed at Armstrong High School
yesterday, understood it was the ban
on teaching or advocating communism
about which he was talking. DR..
Ballou's address was the closing meet
ing of the Teachers Institute for the
colored teachers this year. He ex-
poets to repeat the address before the
white teachers of the city next Thurs
day at Central High School.
II am optimistic" he said, about
the outcome of all this discussion be-
cause of my professional Judgment
that our cause is righteous.
y Professional Attitude High.
1T am optimistic also because the
officers and teachers have exhibited
a high professional attitude toward
this whole matter, and because of the
very great unanimity of expressions OF
confidence by citizens organizations
for the position we have taken"
The whole question at issue, he con-
tinued, is freedom of teaching. While
he believes thoroughly in the freedom
Of teaching, DR.. Ballou asserted he
had never advocated complete" free
dom of teaching.
I'VE have prescribed course Of
study which must be followed. There
are some subjects which think must
necessarily be restricted, and these
subjects, in my opinion, are religion
politics, nationalism, race issues, sex
morals, peace and war"
The depression pay-cut cost the
teachers of Washington about ST ,000,-
900, he said, and although the Is pei
cent slash is now restored. the schoo
system has not recovered from the
curtailments necessitated by the de-
preston.
900 Teachers Needed.
He said again that the local schools
still need about 600 additional teacher,
and that the night schools, Summer
sessions and Americanization Schoo
still are below the 1929 standards.
DR.. Ballou also foresees additiona
; difficulties in obtaining school appro
priations in the future because a de-
clining birth rate has reduced th'
number of new flrst-grade pupils
Washington, however, has run agains
the general tide in enrollments be-
cause new families coming here have
given the schools steady increase ii
annual enrollments.
The superintendent also brok,
down the costs of the present system
arguing that in spite of the separate
white and colored administration!
the system is not top-heavy with ad
ministrators.
'Seventy-f1ve per cent C. our tota
expenditures goes for salaries O.
teachers" he said. 1.-TWO per CEN
goes for overhead, u per cent fol
plant operation, per cent for main.

Briarpatch, and there he had seen
Peter Rabbit, Mrs. Peter and two or
three little Rabbits. He had hung
around there for some little time, hop
ing that one of those little Rabbits
would come out of the dear Old Briar-
patch. None did. I suspect that all
of them saw Redtail high up there in
the blue, blue sky. 1t was useless
for him to try to catch any of them
in the dear old Briarpatch. So at
last he gave up and circled farther
out over the Green Meadows.
"A Meadow Mouse or two would do
me very we'll" said Redtail to him
self. "Yes, sir, 1 could do with a
couple of Meadow Mice very nicely.
They are good eating, are Meadow
Mice. I ought to be able to catch
on or two on the Green Meadows.
All. what do I see over yonder?"
Redtail changed the direction of
his fight and headed toward spot
where something moving had caught
his attention. When he was fairly
over it. so that he could look straight
down, his eyes fairly snapped. What
he saw was a plump Meadow Mouse
running for his life, and gliding
after him one of Mr.. BlackSnake'S
family. There was a double dinner.
Yes, sir, there below was a double
dinner. The trouble was. he couldn't
catch both. He must choose whether
he would have. Snake for dinner or
q Mouse for dinner. Of course, If he
had thought about it he could have
waited on a chance that the Snake
would catch Danny Meadow Mouse
Then he could have had both for
dinner. But he didn't think of this.
Perhaps it was just as well, for
there was no real certainty that the
Snake would catch Danny Meadow
Mouse.
IT think" decided Redtail, that 1
had just as soon have that Snake as
to have that Mouse. In fact, think
I would rather He will make me
more of a dinner. Besides, l think
he will be easier to catch

80 intent on getting away from that
Snake, and that Snake was SO intent
on catching Danny Meadow Mouse,
that neither noticed Redtail above
them. 1t wasn't until the shadow OF
Redtail swept over the others that
they became aware OF his presence.
The instant that shadow passed
over them the Snake looked up. You
see. he knew what that shadow meant |
He saw Redtail and started to glide /
off in the thick grass, hoping thus |
to get out of sight. He found. how
ever, that this wouldn't help him at
all. He turned and half coiled in a !
position to fight.
1t did him no good. Redtail had .
had plenty of experience in catching /
members of the Snake family, and he !
knew just how to go about it. There !
really wasn't any fight. Despite his .
twisting and turning and struggling. |
that BlackSnake was clutched fast /
by Redtail the Hawk and was soon |
on his way to the Green Forest. |
There Redtail would eat his dinner |
ut his leisure.
Meanwhile Danny Meadow Mouse |
had made good his escape. He, too, |
had seen that shadow and had known |
what it meant. And when he had |
found that the Snake was no longer /

little hole he knew of close by. He |
couldn't have escaped from the Snake
there, but he was wholly safe from
