QU0TAPASSED

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 80.
Alexandria's Red Gross contribu-
ton for the flood sufferers more
than doubled its quota Of $500. &C
cording to figures released today
by the local chairman Of the flood
relief committee, which showed a
total Of more than $1,000 up to
the last check made on Saturday.
Although the campaign fund
has only been under way here for
the past 10 days, the $500 quota
was not only exceeded, but nu-
merous contributions of food and
clothing made in addition to the
cash donations have more than
doubled the quota.
Clyde C. Lamond, jr., chairman
Of the local chapter of the Amer
ican Red Cross and also chairman
Of the flood relief committee, to-
day expressed his gratitude for the
manner in which Alexandrians had
responded to the appeal received

RULE0NG GLORIA
APPEAL DUE

The United States Supreme
Court is expected today to decide
if young motherhood, exemplified
by Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt,
may fight for its rights before
that court.
The court, it is believed, will
announce whether it will pass on
the elder Gloria's battle for the
complete custody of her daugh-
ter. This custody has been re.
fused by the Supreme Court,
the Appellate Division and the
Court of Appeals of New York
State.
The mothers petition to the
court contends that she was de-
prived of her constitutional
rights. She, declared that the
present system of dividing the
child'S custody between her
mother and her aunt. Gertrude
Vanderbilt Whitney, was "a
crime against nature and rea-
son."

COURT TO ACT
ON BOOST IN
MLLKPRICES

Retail milk prices to approx
mately 1900 families in Airing
ton and Fairfax counties will
increase from IL cents per quart
to 13 cents per quart Wednesday,
unless court action being sought
by an independent milk distri-
butor can halt the order Of the
Virginia Milk Commission.
Under q ruling given by the
State Milk Commission, the lone
in d depend dent dealer, Hazels
Dairy, Of Falls Church, which
is generally retailing milk at IL
cents, will have to bring its
price up to that charged by the
organized dealers Of Northern
Virginia and the District OF Col
umbia. The latter dealers charge
13 cents per quart.
While the independent distri-
butor has announced it would
fight the legality of the Commis-
sion's ruling in the circuit court
of Fairfax county, it Is believed
it will be forced to raise its
prices two cents pending the out
come of the court case in which
the dairy plans to test the Com.
missions ruling.
Grounds on which the legality
of the ruling will be fought is
that the Commission is power
less to operate an effective price
control system in Northern Vir.
ginia, since the majority Of the
consumers in this area are served
by Washington dairieS, over
which the Commission Is power
less to dictate prices.
Meanwhile, some $500 con
Sumers served at the 11-cent
scale, have been notified by the
independent dairy that it will
fight the ruling and restore the
11-cent price If possible. Unless
some court action Is taken today
or tomorrow, the independent
dealer must comply with the
Commissions ruling, beginning
Wednesday.

CITIZEN GROUP
FIGHTS REPEAL
... OF RED RIDER
BY A. J. DRISCOLL,
Citizens Association Editor


I; In q three-hour session that was
filled with acrimonious debate,
the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tions. at a special meeting Satur-
day night in the District Building,
went on record as opposed to the
Sisson bill to repeal the Red rider
IN the District appropriation bill.
. Debate arose over a report by
George E. Sullivan, chairman OF
a special committee on Commun-
ism in the public schools, which
was adopted by a vote Of SO to 16'
declaring as fundamentally un-
sound the proposal advanced by
Representative SisSon, and the
Board Of Education, that it Is an
invasion of the rights Of school au-
thorities for Congress to direct
regulate and control any features
of the public school system.
Report Stirs Debate
The report recommended the
immediate passage of legislation
reuuiring pupils be acquainted
with the evils, aims and efforts
Of Communism and other un-
American doctrines. When sucn
laws are passed the federation IS
to advocate repeal Of the Req
Rider. and also urge the present
rRdllirements be withdrawn Whlcn
cornuel teachers to sign aff1davlCS
thau have not taught nor adVo-
Gated Communism.
when Sullivan had finished
reading his report, Harry s. Wen
der. moved as q substitute the
federation indorse the Sisson BILL
heswas Joined by Henry I. QUINN
a member of the Board OF Educa-
tion. and delegates from the Six
teenth Street Highlands Citizens
Association, who said it made his
blood boil to know that those on
the other side of the argument
had continually adopted methods
Of communism, and had wanted to
to the thinking for everybody.
What we need, it was said, is not
Red riders but more little red
scheol houses.
Charges BalIOu Sighted
Quinn charged that DR.. Frank
w, Ballou, superintendent OF
schools, had not been given fair
hearing on Capitol Hill, and chal-
lenged any 10 members who had
read the report to say that it was
o fair hearing.
Harry N. Stull chairman OF the
committee on education, in sup
port Of the Sulliven reports said:
owe believe the Board Of Edu-
cation had made q mistake, in
that IL had not been, as reSpOn-
sivp 70 public opinion rs it
should be, so we had to go to
Congress for relief"
James G. Yaden, q former preSi-
dent of the federation and an
other supporter of the Sullivan re-
port, expressed regrets that the
subject Of character education
had become involved in the re-
port. The chief sufferers. he said,
are our school children. He de-
Tended character education as a
fine experiment, and paid high
tribute to the ability and patriot
ism Of Miss BERTHE Backus. as
siStant superintendent of schools
in charge of the work.
Endorsement Fails
When a final vote was taken on
the Wender substitute to indorse
the SiSSon bill it was defeated, as
wasa previous motion to table the
entire matter.

HARDWARE SALES
SET NEW RECORDS
October Shipments EquaI
or Exceed September,
MAGAZINE Finds.
ereeiai Dispatch to The Star

freeiai Dispatcn 70 Tne star
NEW YORK, October 2l.-The re-
coyery In hardware sales set new
records, since 1929, for some manu-
facturers and wholesalers last month,
and october shipments are equaling
or exceeding the September rate. The
cooler weather is stimulating retail
buying.
All lines not actually out of season
are doing well, and on some the gain
has been phenomenal. Hardware Age
will say tomorrow in its market sum-
mary. Both the early and current
demand for stoves, and for house and
kitchen furnishings have outrun ex-
pectations. Bicycles are still selling
many weeks ahead of their supply.
Toys, gift items and sleds are moving
out faster than last year.
MANY manufacturers, in varied
lines. are too busy to ship promptly,
and shortages continue to annoy all
distributors. Factories making con-
sumer goods are operating at capacity.
with output in some cases the highest
on record.
"The speed Of the improvement nat
urally inspires some question whether
the present rate of demand can con-
tinue. However, sales reports from all
quarters indicate that the goods made
have been selling. and that stocks are
not piling up. The new commitments
of merchants tor Spring delivery show
that they expect no recession. The
buying power is coming from increased
employment. larger farm income. and
greater dividend payments, as well as
from Government contributions. There
is no great fear that the income from
any Of these sources will fall Of
materially.
Prices on hardware lines have been
firmed by recent advances in the base
materials, particularly steel. and it Is
difficult to find staple lines where
fourth-quarter costs are not well above
the lows of the year. Most advances
being announced are reasonably jus
titled by higher COSTS"
