CLASSES CLOSE
ON JAN. %

FAIRFAX, Va, Jan. 6-Public
schools in Fairfax county will be
closed January 20, to permit
pupils to attend the Inauguration
parade and ceremonies in Wash
ington, the county school board
voted yesterday.
Citing overcroWded conditions at
the Franconia School, a delega-
ton from that section, headed by
George C. Smith, asked the Board
to Immediately construct addi-
tional class rooms to care for an
anticipated large enrolment at
the next school term.
The group pointed out that
the new school to be erected at
Woodlawn would take only 20
pupils from the Franconia School,
a number expected to be offset
by increased enrolment next
term.
A petition asking for increases
in salaries of colored school
teachers in the county was re-
ceived from the Colored Citizens
Association for consideration in
next years school budget.

"Pink Slips" Create Stir
Advocates of reforms today sug-
gested a congressional inquiry
into the origin of a flood of pink,
green and blue slips calling on
Congress to keep "hands off the
Supreme Court"
Thousands of these slips, signed
apparently by constituents, have
been received by members Of Con-
gress since the battle over the
Presidents program was begun.
They have been mailed chiefly
from points in the Middle West
but from an area scattered from
Pennsylvania to Nebraska. They
read:
Hands off the Supreme Court.
Dear Sir: Believing that the
proposal to revise and weaken
the Supreme Court would pre-
pare the way to dictatorship in
our country, / earnestly urge
you to use your influence against
the measure"
Chairman O'Connor ODD Of
New York, of the House Rules
Committee, revealed Representa-
tive Nichols CD Of Oklahoma,

tory to asking an inquiry into
their origin. He also disclosed
the matter had been called to

The funeral of John McLeish, who died of natural causes some time last week, took place at the Federated Church, under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge.
 Communications with his rela- tives at Portage, Wisconsin, led to instruction to have the burial here. First indications were that the body would be sent back to the states for burial, but due to the expensive means of transpor- tation between Nome and Seattle at the present time, this idea was given up, it was declared. Attend ing the services conducted by Rev. Vincent Widney, were many of Doc McLeish's close friends.

Colbert N ext
AT Earle II.

Back to the laugh division of
the movies after a successful
fling at serious historical drama,
Claudette Colbert comes to the
screen Of the Earle Theater on
Friday in II Met Him in Paris, :"
a bright transatlantic comedy ro-
nance which features Melvyn
Douglas and Robert Young.
Miss Colbert was last seen
here in the heavy dramatic lead
role in maid Of Salem" the plot
Of which was suggested by the
historical witchcraft scare of sew
enteenth-century New England.
In 81 Met Him in Paris" Clau-
dette returns to preSent-day roles
and portrays an American work
ing girl on a grand vacation in
the French capital. Finding that
romance knows no geographical
limits, Claudette falls in love with
two men, both very nice but wide
ly different in personality.
She can't decide which man to
marry; Douglas is a man Of few
words; Young is a Super.egotist
who thinks he has a way with
the women. Each wages an ardent
campaign to capture Claudette.
Much Of the action of 1T Met
Him in Paris is laid in the Swiss
Alps, the best known and most
co1orful vacation region Of the
European continent. Claudette is
seen in q stunning array of out
door sport fashions. The costumes
she wears in the Paris scenes were
specially designed for her by Travis
Banton, and reflect the char
acteristic French influence.

Miss Colbert and Robert Young
in "The Bride Comes Home" also
was in charge of II Met Him in
