GAG RULE OFFERS
SCHOOLPROBLEM
Board of Education Will
Face New Budget Bureau
Regulation.

Two proposals Of the Board Of Edu-
cation and the customary annual con-
ference with citizens on the needs of
the public school system. jeopardized
by the Budget Bureaus gag" order,
were to be discussed by the board at
a postponed meeting late today.
Today's meeting was called because
of the cancellation of the last regular
meeting due to the death Of benjamin
l.. Gaskins, colored, a member of the
board.
Additional Report.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent.
has prepared an additional report on
the proposed new building program.
but whether the toard can ask for q
special bill in Congress to authorize
the contemplated construction is in
doubt. Reports OF the needs of new
administration building and storage
facilities, the teachers colleges and
the high schools already have been
made by the superintendent and are
now In the hands of the Finance Com
mittee. DR.. Ballou was to make fur
ther reports of the same kind today.
covering the junior high schools, ele-
mentary schools and vocational
schools, but it remains in doubt
whether he can ask for the necessary
legislation without the consent of the
Budget Bureau.
Repeal Of the anti-communism rider
to the current appropriations bill,
which Henry I. Quinn, board member,
said he would request, also may have
to be submitted to the Budget Bureau
before the board can act in the mat
ter. It also was learned that sponsors
Of the communism ban in the House
are prepared to block parts of the new
budget appropriations if the ban is
removed. The same controversy that
caused its enactment in the first place
is threatened again, that of funds to
continue the character education ex-
pertinent in the local schools.
Citizens Conference Problem.
DR.. Ballou also planned to ask ad-
vice about calling the Citizens Con-
ference. Whether such a conference
will violate the gag" order is in doubt,
and, If the budget officers desire to
pass on the matters to be taken up
the situation is made more dimcult
since school authorities have no way
Of knowing what suggestions will be
made by the citizens.

House Committee Gets Traf-
fic Plea as Survey Is
Ready to Start.

An appeal for an increase OF l30 IN
the Metropolitan police force to aid in
improving traffic conditions was filed
with the House District Committee
today by the Enforcement Subcom-
mittee OF the Traffic Committee of the
Washington Board of Trade.
The plea. signed by John A. Bres-
nahan, was received by Chairman
Norton of the District Committee ex-
aclly "a hodrs in advance of the be-
ginning of comprehensive survey OF
Washington's traffic condition by the
Streets and Traffic Subcommittee.
headed by Representative Carpenter.
Democrat, of Kansas.
Bresnahan pointed out that the
Trade Board Subcommittee, Of which
he is chairman, adopted resolution
urging the 1870 increase in the Police
Department-l00 patrolmen and 80
motor cycle officers-and it had been
approved by the organizations Board
of Directors.
Shocked by Increasing Deaths.
"This action was taken in this in
stance solely from the standpoint Of
improving traffic conditions in this
city," said Bresnahan. LAS citizens
and permanent residents of Washing
ton we are shocked by the mounting
list of fatal traffic accidents and by
the astounding increase in traffic acci-
dents of All kinds.
After months of serious study we
are convinced that the only manner
in which conditions can be changed
is by strict enforcement of all traffic
regulations. but we realize that it is
a physical impossibility for the Police
Department. with its present limited
personnel, TO do more than it is now
doing"
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, police super
intendent, included an item in his
budget estimates for the coming fiscal
year for l3l additional men. This
item, however was eliminated.
Study Starts Tomorrow.
The traffic study by the House Sub
committee viii, start tomorrow with a
personal tour Of the city. Members
will leave the Office of Chairman Car
penter at 10 am and observe traffic
conditions in various sections. Par
ticular attention will be paid to factors
that contribute to accidents.
Later in the week Chairman Car
penter plans to hold public hearings
at which traffic experts and others will
be requested to outline their views on
the traffic situation.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer and Police Supt. Brown will be
among the first witnesses. Carpenter
also intends to call on heads Of various
motorist organizations and civic lead
ers interested In traffic.

ages Traffic Light.

The Fire Department marked 1t
down as just another false alarm"
but-well, there was more to it than
that.
Robert Lutz, "a, of 1896 North
Capitol street, was driving his horse
and wagon along ice-coated streets at
the height of this mornings rush hour
when the animal-perhaps because he
felt the need Of little warming-up
exercise-suddenly broke into gallop.
Over the ice the horse and wagon
slid, finally skidding into post sup
porting q fire alarm box at Twenty
first street and Massachusetts, avenue.
The resulting alarm brought out
several fire companies, but there was
nothing for the firemen to do but
lift the horse back on his feet and
send him and his master on their
way.
Trafhc lights at the corner also were
put out Of commission temporarily.
due to the fact one Of the poles sup
porting them was struck by the wagon.
Neither Lutz. nor his horse was In
jured, however, according to police.

new DEAL LODGES
SEEKPREFERENCE
Workers Losing Out in
Abandoned Units to Be
Placed in Others.

A preferential employment status in
new or expanding Government agen-
whether civil service or not
would be given non-civil service en-
ployes losing out in abandoned units,
under a program to be laid before ad-
ministration authorities by represent
atives of the New Deal lodges Of the
American Federation of Government
Employees.
BY this program, those workers
would get a chance to take a COM
petitive civil service test for civil
service positions-such. for instance,
as under the new Social Security
Board-and, if qualifying. would be
ranked ahead of persons already on
civil service registers. The only group
over which they do not seek prece-
dence is that making up the regular
unemployment register of the COM
mission.
For non-civil service posts, the en-
ployes want the w. P. A. personnel re-
placement division vested with power
to force their unemployment.
The program was decided on at a
meeting last night, at which it was
said that Of 4,l47 workers from emer-
gency agencies seeking re-employ-
ment, only 500 have been placed.
The impending dismissal here of
1,l00 persons from the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration is behind
the new plan. Officials have said that
not much trouble was anticipated in
finding places for those with civil
service status, but that others created
q problem.
Where no regular work can be
found, it will be asked that w. p A.
project be set up to care for the un-
employed.

where he will establish headquarters
in the Hauptmann home at 1879 East
222d street.
Hicks revealed he has been working
on the case for three weeks, having
prepared the exhibits submitted by
Gov. Harold g. Hoffman of New Jersey
to the Court Of Pardons, which re-
Gently refused to intervene in Haupt-
mann's behalf.
One of these exhibits, Hicks said.
was an enlarged photograph Of the
child's body, found in the woods near
the Lindbergh home. which subse-
quently was identified as the body OF
the kidnapped boy.
Hicks, however, said he has grave
doubts of the accuracy OF this identi-
fication. His exhibit, he said, dis
closed there was a deformity of the
foot Of the body, which the Lindbergh
child did not have. The criminOlOgiSt,
who worked for the State duri-g the
early stages of the investigation. also
recalled there was testimony at the
trial that the body found in The woods
was several inches taller than the re-
puted height of the Lindbergh baby.
Sees Mistake at Trial.
1.-THE biggest mistake made at the
trial." he said, was the failure Of
the defense to contest the identifica-
ton Of the body as being that of the
kidnapped baby. We are working now
in an effort to prove 1t was not the
same"
Hicks said Gov. Hoffman asked him
to take part in he investigation and
requested Paul G. Clancy, editor Of
the magazine. American Astrology. to
advance the money for his rompen-
sation, explaining this coulu not be
done by the State.
The criminologist said he was re-
tanned for three months. and told his
employment would be extended three
additional months II developments
warranted.
This was construed in some quar-
ters as strengthening the belief that
Gov. Hoffman intends to grant Haupt-
mann another reprieve unless his
doubts concerning the Bronx carpen-
ter's guilt are removed in the mean
time. The present reprieve. granted
last week. would defer the date Of
Hauptmann's execution for about
eight weeks.

The Hauptmann home was turned
