POLITICIANS BLAMED IN
RURAL SCHOOL STRIKE
Consolidation Measure Several
Years Ago Alleged Motive For
Dispuate In This County
WAS ECONOMY MEASURE

F. E. Rathbun, superintendent of
schools for Garrett county, blamed
county politicians" for the "strike"
of the pupils of four closed one-teach-
err schools.
In closing the schools, located at
Fort Hill, Meadow Mountain, Dry Run
and Walnut Bottom, the county Board
of Education designated others for
the pupils to attend. State funds total
ing $1,954.4O were obtained to furnish
transportation of the pupils to the
schools with which the discontinued
schools were consolidated.
A few of the pupils attended the
new schools, but most of them baked
at the arrangement of the School
Board and remained at home.
politicians" Are Blamed
Rathbun, expressing hope that a
satisfactory solution would be worked
between state and county authorities,
said he believed the trouble had re-
suited from the residents in the COM
munities where the schools were
closed being "unduly stirred up by
county politicians" He did not give
any names.
The county authorities pointed out
the schools "were closed several years
ago on account of the small attend
ance and the depression" and calcu-
lated that to reopen them "would cost
the local taxpayers over $4,000"
Details On Schools
In setting forth the school boards
position, he gave out the following
details about the schools:
Meadow Mountain, closed in 1929,
had an attendance of eleven; Fort Hill
closed in 1881, had eight pupils; Dry
Run, closed in 1881, had ten pupils;
Walnut Bottom, 10 pupils were in
school last week and were continuing.
Based in teachers salaries as the
law provides, Rathbun said, four
teachers for the schools would cost
$685., or 76 per cent Of the total
legal allowance to run the schools.
Legal Allowance Cited
The total legal allowance, he said,
was $5,251.35, while the State now is
providing $1,956.4O for the four
schools, this amount taking care of
transportation of the pupils. There
fore, he estimated, if the schools were
to be reopened, it would cost the
county $3,29496 additional for the
pupils.
"The board" he said, "feels this to
be a matter for the County Commits
sioners, while the Commissioners feel
it is not their responsibility. l am
confident, however, the matter will be
worked out satisfactorily. Citizens of
the four school communities are
agreeing that the present transporta-
ton situation is the best when the
facts are presented.
At meeting of the County Board of
Education yesterday morning, the
matter of the school "strike" was
given further consideration, but no
definite action was taken, according
to County Superintendent Rathbun.

DISPUTE W|DENS
ON CONSERVATION
Two Farm Groups Urge De-
feat of Bill to Change Name
of Interior Unit.
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Two organized farm groups yester-
day stepped into the battle over con-
troll of Federal conservation agencies,
for some of which both Secretary
Wallace and Secretary Ickes are
veing.
The American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton and the National Grange Joined
in issuing statement to all members
bill to change the name Of the Interior
Department to the Department Of
Conservation.
The Senate passed the bill by Sen
ator Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois,
Wednesday. Besides authorizing the
change in the name, it would direct
the President to transfer to it any
agencies he determines should be CO.
ordinated.
Suggest Transfer.
The farm organizations statement
not only urged defeat of the bill, but
suggested that the Interior Depart
ment's grazing service be transferred
to the Agriculture Department.
Appealing for House passage of the
measure, Secretary Ickes contended in
radio address last night that all
conservation activities should be
grouped IN his department "if far
flung conservation policy is to be
seriously undertaken, as national
self preservation demands"
AS originally drafted by Ickes, the
bill would have authorized the Presi-
dent to give him control over other
departments conservation activities.
Just before final Senate passage. an
amendment by Lewis confined the bill
to the mere change in name, Ickes
said last night.
Even though conservation agencies
might be continued in other branches
of the Government, the influence Of
sound conservation policies could be
impressed upon them from the GEN.

LECTURE TICKETS
PLAN PROPOSED
Georgetown U. Seeks Solu-
ton for OvercroWding OF
Walsh Series.

Due to the overcrowding OF the
Georgetown University auditorium at
his recent lectures on christianity,
Communism and Democracy" DR.. Ed
nund A. Walsh, S. j., regent OF the
School of Foreign Service, proposed
Yesterday to put the lecture series
next year on a subscription basis 1or
the first time in u years.
The proposal has been submitted by
the university to the persons who have
enrolled regularly for the lectures on
Communism from year to year, and II
a sufficient number favor moderate
charge to defray the expenses OF
larger auditorium, it was announced
that Constitution Hall would be en-
gagged for the course Of 10 lectures.
Use for Possible Revenue.
"As this is not profit-making VEN
ture," the announcement said, any
balance that may possibly ensue will
be devoted to the development OF
higher studies in the School of For
eign Service. Thus the great demand
for tickets will be solved. and at the
same time any modest revenue that
NAV accrue will be contribution TO
the furtherance of scholarship in the
field of political science, American in
stitutions and international relations. "
The problem of accommodating the
increasingly large audiences for DR..
Walshs lectures, the university an
nounced, has caused disappointment
to many in the past, criticism and
even some resentment. CASTOR Hall,
where the lectures have been delivered
for many years, can accommodate less
than 100 persons, it was said, whereas
requests were made for more than
1000 tickets for the lecture season
that ended April "a.
In an effort to accommodate the
overflow audience each night, the uni
versity equipped another hall with a
public address system, but even these
ARRANGEMENTS. it was said, were un-
satisfactory. The proposal to put the
lectures hereafter on a subscription
basis was made in response to numer-
Gus requests that the university en-
gage a larger hall.
Replies by May q.
Since arrangements with Constitu-
tion Hall must be completed at once,
1t was requested that replies be made
before May 81, when the final deci-
sion must be made.
The tentative proposal for subscrip-
tion rates covering the season of 10
lectures is IS Cor general admission,
$3.50 for a reserved seat and $40 for
q box seat.
Although it is too early to announce
the subject matter for the next lee
lures, which begin usually in jan
uary, Dr. Walsh said he feels at this
date that it may have much to do
with the Constitution of the United
States, and the functions of the Su-
preme Court in the American democ-
yary.
