SCHOOL HEADS PUSH
FIvE.YEAR PROGRAM
Board Members and DR.. Ballou to
Meet Friday Morning With
Commissioners

In an effort to expedite action on
the proposed new fve-year building
program of the public schools, men,
hers of the Board of Education and
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent,
are to meet Friday morning with the
District Commissioners.
Tine School Board already has ap-
proved details of the proposal that
would take care of the school sys-
TENS physical needs through the
year 1912, but no estimate of the cost
has been made.
Tentative approval from a cost
angle has been given by the Finance
Committee of the Board of Education,
headed by George M. Whitwell, but
no estimate of the total cost was
made.
The District Commissioners held up
the boards proposal, pending a study
of the cost and the Districts antici-
pated revenues. A tax committee
headed by Vernon E. West, acting
corporation counsel, has been asked
to study the program.
The School Board had urged that
the bill to authorize the program be
forwarded at once to the Budget Bu-
reau for approval. The necessary ap-
preparations to carry out the new
construction would be taken care of
in the annual District appropriation
bills.

COSTELLO AGAINST
'CARPET-BAGGERS'.
Announces He Will Oppose
Proposed Plan to Elect
Convention Delegates.

Declaring he has heard of plans to
elect "carpet-baggers" as delegates
from Washington to the Democratic
National Convention at Philadelphia in
June, John F. Costello, Democratic ma
tional committeeman for the District,
has announced he will oppose any
such program.
Costello, who mas been a leader in
Democratic circles here for many
years, made know also that he will be
a candidate to continue as national
committeeman. There is reported to
be a fight against his leadership this
year.
At the same time, Costello an
nounced his support of the bill pend
ing in House and Senate District
Committees to regulate the holding of
party primaries in the District. 1t de-
veloped today, however. that there Is a
difference of opinion among the local
Democratic leaders over the primary
bill.
John B. Colpoys, chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
commenting on the bill, said the COM
mittee is fighting for national repre-
sentation for the people Of the Dis
trict in Congress and in the electoral
college and docs not want to be
given a crumb or a shadow" For the
same reason, he said. he would not
favor a voteless delegate for the Dis
trict in Congress.
The State Central Committee has
not yet fixed the date for the primary
to be held next month to choose the
Districts six delegates and six alter
mates to the Democratic convention.
Asked about the procedure for
choosing the national committeeman.
Colpoys said the Central Committee
has authority either to elect the COM
mitteeman, or to let delegates to the
convention make the selection. It
has not been decided which course will
be followed, he said.
Chairman Farley of the Democratic
National Committee at his press con-
ference today was asked what would
be done about Costello and his fight
against "carpet-bag" slate Of dele
gates.
THAT Is a matter for the local
Democrats to decide" said Farley.
"The delegates have not yet been
chosen"

lowing triple collision on the Rock
vile pike.
The warrant was sworn out yester-

PLAN TO SPEEDUP
D. c. BILLS URGED
Mrs. Norton Hopes to Elm.
mate Time Lost in
subcommittee.

Aroused because 81 District bills
are tied up in subcommittee with
little hope of consideration before
adjournment, Chairman Norton of
the House District Committee planned
today to urge the adoption of new
procedure designed to expedite the
handling of local legislation.
Mrs. Norton said she would reveal
details of her plan at the regular
meeting of her committee tomorrow
at 1890 am. Fundamentally it calls
for abolition Of subcommittee and
substitution Of the procedure followed
by the Senate District Committee.
Under such an arrangement, minor
or uncontroversial bills could be re-
ported by the full committee without
consideration or hearing by sub
committee.
Plan Used 10 Years.
The present system of referring
bills to subcommittee was adopted
about 10 years ago when former Rep
resentative Fred N. zihlman, Repub-
lican. of Maryland was chairman of
the District Committee. Mrs. Norton
believes the weakness of this system
was demonstrated this year, since it
has permitted subcommittee chairmen
to virtually pigeonhole 81 measures.
Realizing, of course, that it is far
too late in the present session to put
the new plan into effect, Mrs Norton
thinks steps should be taken to work
out a program for the Seventy fifth
Congress.
Subcommittee Holds Al.
Mrs. Norton pointed out that II Of
the 81 bills now awaiting subcom-
mittee action are in the Judiciary
Subcommittee, headed by Representa-
tive Palmisano, Democrat, of Mary
land. One Of the major bills which
she was anxious to have considered
at this session, providing for a mod
ern and more humane Juvenile Court
procedure, languished In Palmisano's
subcommittee for several months.
Finally he referred the measure back
to the fun committee without rec
concentrations.
Despite the delay in consideration
Of the Juvenile Court bill, Mrs. Nor
ton is hopeful of House action. She
intends to appoint a special subcom-
mittee tomorrow to hold hearings and
report on this measure.
Presses Other Bills.
Mrs. Norton also plans to ask the
full committee to report several bills
that have passed the Senate at this
session, hopeful that she will be able
to get House action on them under
unanimous consent II any additional
so-called District days" are lost due
to the determination Of House lead
ers to dispose of important national
legislation before taking up any more
District bills.
One Of these is the highly contro-
versial small l-loans bill on which hear
ings have already been held. Another
authorizes q merger Of the WASH
ington and Georgetown Gas Light
companies. The uniform sales act and
q uniform narcotf6 law are provided
IN the other bills.

Johnny Wren shook his head. "I

Johnny, and burst into song again.

her word and revealed their engage
ment? Naturally, since no one but
they knew, he would think she called
the newspaper. There were times
when she ached so to be near him,
to hear from his own lips the reason
he had gone away without a word
to her. that she racked her brain for
a way to find out his address in Paris.
Perhaps If she wrote him and ex-
planned he would come back and
everything would be all right.
1t was a bitter cold day in early
November, the first day of snow, when
all JAMS troubles seemed to come
down on her weary brain at once.
There wasn't an agent in New York
who hadn't promised to call her, and
not one seemed to remember her when
she went back as reminder that
she was still looking for a job.
She stumbled into the foyer OF the
apartment, kicking the snow from
her pumps, and walked with her head
down to the elevator
May I see you homer"
She jumped, because she had been
so preoccupied, and looked up to see
the man from across the hall smiling
down at her from his great height.
Thank you," she smiled wearily,
and stepped into the elevator.
At 5 o'clock the elevator man went
off duty and the lift was self-oper-
ating. The stranger smiled, struck
with the tragedy in the young face.
Wen play like I'm taking you for
ride in my airplane."
"All right" Jan said lamely. Lets" "
The man was well over feet tall
and built like a giant. He wore q
camels hair coat, belted in, and no
hat. There was friendliness written
in every line of his broad, dark face
and the black eyes that looked down
at her were twinkling. Even his hair,
which was black and curling in tight
ringlets from the snow, looked friendly
like a NANCY dog. Janell decided he
was about 35. maybe a,little less.
Haven't I met you somewhere?"
he asked, looking as though he were
studying the face in deep thought,
searching for an opening to find out
something about her. Say, know!
You're friend of Jimmy Fitz. I
met you at his New Year party last
year!"
