NEW CABINET CHANGES

CLIO. Recently he was reported
ready to resign as Madam Perk-
ms assistant and take one of sew
eral lucrative offers from private
industry.
Reports that Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings would be re-
placed in the next cabinet have
never been dignified by a denial.
Cummings incurred labor's dis
pleasure by not prosecuting Wig
orously law enacted at the last
session of congress which forbids
transportation of strike-breakcrs
from one state to another.
There have been some hints,
too, that Secretary of the Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau. Jr., was
growing weary of his job and
longed for a good diplomatic post.
Meantime, congressional author
tiles believe that there is a real
possibility that some cabinet posts
may be scrapped and others add
ed. For example, one of the sug-
gestions being studied by the COM
mittees on government reorgan-
ization is the consolidation of the
army and navy departments into
a department Of national defense.
In this connection it was point
ed out that President Roosevelt
made the appointment of Harry
Woodring, successor to the late
George H. Dern as secretary of
war, temporary one. No explain
ation ever was given for this
move. Some suggested it was the
llrSt move toward ultimate con-
solldation of the two service bu-
reaus.

DAYS after convenlng. :.
The permanent legislation Is
likely to arouse considerable con
troversy. The division is chiefly
over the amount of discretion TO
be left to the president.

ington children away from school
during the past year.
The children unable to attend
classes because they did not have
the clothes to wear lost a total
of 1,795 days of school.
These facts, plus comparison
of other years showing that the
number of children who stayed

this year was twice the number
Of the year before, were presented
to the Board Of Education yester.
day by DR.. Frank w. Ballou, SUI

$50 Last Year
DR.. Ballou reported that the fig
hre for last year was 230, as com.
pared with 264 for the preceding
year.
Use Of the radio to announce
'No school today" on days such
as Tuesday when the streets were
covered with ice was suggested by
Mrs. Mary McNeill. board mem
Der. She told the board:
'It has occurred to me that
the use Of the radio would be
an effective means Of calling
off school. OF course, in the
old days when I went to school,
they used to use o whistle, and
we certainly an did wait for
that whistle.
But Il does seem . shame
to compel little children TO
come to school when the
weather is so bad"
At present children may be
sent home after day of school,
but there is no provision for tell
ing them to stay home. ).
Up to Parents
DR.. Ballou, who stated the pres
ent system is effective enough,
put it up to the parents, stating
they have the prerogative of keep
ing 3heir children home when the
weathe is bad, adding:
"SOme children are prompted
by desire to 90 to school
every day. regardless Of health
or weathe- conditions, to keep
up their attendance records.
The idea of 100 per cent attend
ance IS fine, but sometimes It
is carried too far"
A new list OF approved maga.
zines and periodicals in use in
the sci ools, some of which we're
recently criticized because of al
legged subversive propaganda. was
presented to the board by Dr..
Ballou. One of the periodicals
approved was My Weekly Reader, :"

D. c. HEADSA
CONGRESS FOR
MORE FUNDS
Attempt Due to Fail,
However, Against
BIanton Stand

In the face Of stubborn opposi-
tion, the District Commissioners
came before the House District
Appropriations Subcommittee, as
hearings on the 1887 District sup
ply bill opened, to renew their
plea for a Federal contribution to
the District expenses in excess Of
IS, 100000, the amount recon-
mended by the budget.
It was virtually conceded that
the Commissioners efforts will be
in vain. however, as Representa-
tive Tom Blanton CD, Of Texas,
acting chairman Of the subcom.
mittee, already has made it plain
that he will make no concession
on this point. He has declared
flatly his belief that the District
should receive no contribution,
and indicated he will accept the

This Point Vital
Whatever ell the Commission.
ers may urge upon the subcommit-
tee will be largely dependent on
this vital point, since If the Fed
eral contribution Is not increased,
only scant funds for projects out
side those recommended by the
budget are available.
The gag" rule policy, adopted
by the National Administration IN
legislation, will be applied to the
executive hearings before the Sub
committee, as far as possible. con.
cerning the discussions which take
place.
Letter From BIantOn
Representative Blanton wrote
u letter to the District Commits
sionerS reminding them that the
subcommittee sessions were execu-
tive and that they should re-
frain from commenting c. any
thing that is said at the sessions.
As a result of the Texans letter,
Commissioner Melvin C. HAGEN
sent an order to all heads of
municipal departments saying:
'It must be thoroughly un.
derStOOd that the hearings be-
fore this committee are exeCu-
q tive and no information is to
be released and heads of de-
partmentS will be held strictly
accountable and responsible for
any information so divulged."
While the Texan has held out
slim hopes for any increases IL the
budget figures. he has asserted
that his Subcommittee will con-
slider "sympathetically" all worth.
