MEMBERS GIVE
LITTLE HEED
TO FOES
Rep. Jenckes May Face
Quiz on>Denunciation
of School Board

The opposition having brought
its two "big guns" into action yes
terday, it was freely predicted to-
day that the House District sub
committee on education eventually
will recommend to the full com.
mittee that the Red rider" repeal
bill be favorably reported to the
House.
Throughout the entire time that
George E. Sullivan, spokesman for
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, and Maj. Gen. Amos Fries,
representing the District Public
Schools Association, were on the
witness stand before the subcom-
mittee yesterday pleading for re-
tention of the rider, members of
the subcommittee evidenced dis
satisfaction with their testimony
and indicated that they believed
the rider should be eliminated.
More Hearings Slated
The subcommittee recessed it's
hearings late yesterday until later
in the week when additional wit
neSseS will be given opportunity to
present their views on both sides
of the issue.
Whether or not Representative
Virginia Jenckes Cd, of Indiana,
a member of the subcommittee,
will be compelled to permit the
subcommittee to croSS-eXamine her
concerning the statement she
made yesterday denouncing the
school board for allegedly being
unfit for their duties and for neg
lect and inefficiency was a matter
of intense interest today.
She declined to allow herself to
be croSs-examined yesterday be-
cause of the condition of her
health, but was granted permis-
sion to file a brief with the COM
mittee later which she said would
carry evidence substantiating her
charges against the school board.
1t is possible the subcommittee
members will then question her
minutely.
The brunt of the burden of the
opposition to the Red rider" re-
peal, however, was expected to be
carried by General Fries and Mr..
Sullivan, but they apparently
made little impression on the sub
committee members.
Testimony Held Down
AS they testified subcommittee
members continued to declare that
they were not talking on the point
at issue and compelled them to
shorten their addresses.
They based their opposition to
the repeal bill on the ground that,
unless it were permitted to remain,
the school board could not be held
in check, and argued that this is
necessary if Red indoctrination is
to be kept out of the schools.
Pinned down, however. by COM
mittee members, these two wit
nesses we're virtually forced into
admission that what was needed to
meet the situation if their crit
iciSmS were well founded is a re-
vampi.lg of the school board.
All expressed the belief that no
local school teacher is guilty of
desiring to advocate communism,
except that General Fries said he
had information to show that one
high school teacher is a Com.
munist. He offered that infor-
nation to the subcommittee.

The Emergency Conservation
Work, conducted by the Civilian
Conservation Corps. through its
dual purpose of furnishing healthful
outdoor work on forest, park, and
soil conservation projects of definite
practical value to all the peoples of

tations in benefits to youth and to

timated that dependents of Ohio en-
rollees have received $8,776,0O0 as
allOtments. Enrollees allot S25 Of
their $50 monthly cash allowance to
dependents. However, the outstand-
ing value to the nation rests in the
removal Of these thousands of young
men who were idle through no fault
of their own and giving them en-
ployment in the great out of doors.
Since the corps began, some 1.150,-
coo boys have been graduated, i'm
proved in health, self-disciplined,
alert and eager for the opportunity
to make good in any kind Of honest
employment. The great majority of
these have secured employment III

ed for a probable enrolment during

place those boys who have been dis
charged to accept employment or
otherwise released. Applicants

pRAZIL NUT marshmallow
- cream is a new chilled des-
sert that leaves nothing wanting
in excellence. from superb ap-
pearance to ease in the making.
An important consideration,
too, is its pleasing taste-a gentle
blend of the sweet tart of fruit
and the crunchy nut flavor.
Chilled to a stiff texture and
mounted with whole Brazil nuts
and bright red cherries, it is a
perfect dessert for bridge
luncheon.
The incest thing about it, how
ever is the simple way in which
it is made by the approved rec
ipe:
With a wet knife, slice and cut
the marshmallow squares into
eighths. Combine with pine
apple, cherries and nuts. Salt
the cream and whip it until
thick. Then fold in the marsh
malloW mixture.
The last step is mounding IN
sherbet glasses and chilling IN a
refrigerator for several hours.
Before serving, garnish with
cherries and whole nuts.
