Action on Scholastic
Is Faced by Delay

Board of Education action on
the recommendation by a special
book and periodical committee that
Scholastic, national high school
magazine, be banned from the local
schools, probably will not be taken
until after Congress has acted on
the SiSson bill to repeal the "red
rider"
Charles B. Degges, secretary to
the board, wrote letter to Maur-
ice r. Robinson, editor of the mag
azine, and pointed out that the
committees report has not yet
been presented to Superintendent
of Schools Frank w. Ballou and
will not be acted upon by the
board until the April % meeting at
the earliest. This indicated defln.
ite action by the board may not be
taken until May 6, after the SisSon
bill is scheduled for consideration
in Congress.

D. {. RENT BILL
IS ATTACKED
IN HOUSE
Special Rule for Its
Consideration Stirs
Bitter Debate

Republicans opened a bitter at
tack against the District rent
control bill during consideration
of the special rule under which
the bill was to be called up
today.
The debate on the rule was
opened by Representative John
O'Connor CD Of New York,
chairman Of the House Rules
Committee, who pointed out that
vote for the rule would not
necessarily commit a member to
the bill. He explained, however,
that the rule was brought in
merely as IAN attempt to expe-
dite the business of the House." I"
adding that there had been an
obvious filibuster against the bill
for three days.
Plea for Bill's Defeat
Representative Joseph Martin
of Massachusetts, ranking minor.
ity member of the rules commit
tee declared that although he is
opposed to be rent control bill he
believed the rule was necessary to
bring the measure to a vote.
Leading the attack against the
bill, Representative John Taber
(R.) of New York, described it as
"a nice juicy bill to provide nice
juicy jobs and that's the only
reason for it,
He told the House that the bill
is a orphan" since no one has
presented any legitimate argu-
mentS for it.
He urged members to defeat the
rent control measure, urging them
to vote on the merits Of the bill
and mot because Of resentment
against anyone
Unusual Course
Although it is unprecedented for
q special rule to be granted for q
District measure, House chieftains
| turned to this course when Repre-
sentative Tom Blanton Cd, Of
Texas, filibustered throughout
three District days with a view
to preventing the bill to be dis
posed Of.
While the Texan is opposed to
the rent bill, his primary object in
reSorting to dilatory tactics during
consideration of the measure was
in order to keep the RED rider"
repeal bill from coming before the
House.
Under the special rule reported
by the Rules Committee, only one
hour and a half will be allowed
for completing the reading Of the
bill for amendments. At the end
of that time q final vote on the
measure will come automatically.
The rent control measure,
sponsored by Representative
Henry Ellenbogen CD of Penn
Sylvania, a member Of the House
District Committee, is designed
to reeStablish the wartime rent
commission. which would be en-
powered to receive complaints
from either landloards or ten
ants and have the authority to
investigate these complaints and
order proper adjustments.
Most of the opposition to the
measure has been based on
claims that such an act would
be held unconstitutional.

Murray
Says:

President Roosevelt showed
all his Old.time vigOr in the
opening speech of his campaign
at Baltimore, when he limited
to the Young Democrats that
he planned to create more work
for the unemployed ;. Well,
hold on to your hats, boys!
Here we 90 through that alpha
bet again!
Seems to me that, Franklin
was talking. to the wrong bunch
about unemployment It's the
Republicans that are really
looking for jobs. -
It was noted, however, that
the older element in the audi.
ence acted somewhat cool to-
ward the speech. Guess F. d.
better not sing 'NTy Maryland"
too loud until after next No
vember.
so REMEMBER: ..~,
This is the year, If you want
to know which way the wind
blows, to watch the smoke from
the campaign cigars.

Recently, all three were in the

desires in their minds today.
The first is that the procure

nent members, will have a total en-
rollment of soc by January /.
The second is that the lodges
monthly social meeting, scheduled

4209 Ninth st. N. w., will prove the
most successful gathering their or
ganization has ever sponsored.

Mrs. Hall and Miss McMahan

paigns. Recent figures having
shown their lodges membership
strength as 1874, they are circulat-
ing persistently among fellow en-
ployes in efforts to sign up" the
remaining 106 workers necessary
to reach their January goal.
In addition they will act as
hostesses at the jamboree tonight,
which will boast an entertainment
