Congestion GrOWs

Every year, the congestion In
schools of all types-elementary
and junior high and senior high
is increasing. Enrolment con-
tinues to mount, and school con-
struction has not kept pace with
the continued increase in school
population.
We have overcrowded class
rooms; we have undesirable rooms
used as classrooms: we still have
a few Anticipated and entirely in
adequate "portables;;" we are still
using school buildings that have
long since been condemned as
unfit.
on the basis of the last re-
port on SchooIboHSe Gcconnlo-
dGtionS, an addition of 113 class
rooms in the elementary schools
alone is required before the
grade schools can be run on the
accepted standard OF 40 pupils
to each room.
A breakdown Of these figures
shows that Sc rooms are needed
for the replacement of school

recommended by Congress for

Needs ShOwn

Nineteen rooms are needed to
eliminate part-time classes, where,
because of crowded conditions in
the schools, pupils are forced to go
on what is known as the double
shift"
Portables are still being used at
the Lafayette, Minnesota Avenue
and Bates Road Schools in the
elementary grades, with four new
portables in prospect as provided
in the pending appropriation bill
for 1888, In the high schools, por-
tables are in use at the Armstrong
High School, Eliot Powell and Ran
dali Junior High Schools, and at
the Lenox Vocational School.
According to the Schoolhouse
accommodations report, there are
20 undesirable rooms, that is,
rooms in easements and Railways
and the like that are being used,
because Of congestion, for class
room purposes.
Seventy rooms, according to the
report, are needed to eliminate

made in relation to the local wage
law, and the findings Of the divi-
sion cannot be used in regulating
industries under the law.
When the District officials be:
gin to administer the law, a de-
tailed study will be made Of the
wages paid women workers.
The law calls for the appoint
ment of a Minimum Wage Board,
and gives this board the right to
call for the pay-rolls Of industrial
enterprises.
From this source, it is possible
to get an exact tabulation OF
wages paid women workers in
various industries, and after a
minimum wage" is set for any
particular industry, it is possible
to dictate to industry that the
minimum be observed.

High Schools Suffer

High schools are crowded much
beyond their capacity. The total
capacity for both white and col
ored high schools is for 1880
pupils, while the enrolment in
these schools is 1926, showing an
excess of 1,675 pupils for the space
provided.
The junior high schools are
similarly congested. With a ca
pacity of 16,997, the junior high
school buildings are now accom-.
modating 1858 pupils, an excess
enrolment of 1856 pupils.
1t is evident, then, from these
statistics that Washington's school
system is sadly in need of assist
ance.
The D. C. Board of Education
outlined our specific needs in the
school estimates for 1888 and in
the five-year building program
which now is in the hands of the
District Commissioners. We hope
that Congress will recognize our
need-the children'S need-and
heed our requests.

GEN. DENHARDT
ASKS MURDER
TRIAL DELAY
Who Found
Body of Woman
Not Present

NEWCASTLE, KY, April 81
Q.N.S0.-Pending arrival OF a
principal defense witness, John M.
Barry today sought delay in the
murder trial of Brig. Gen. Henry
H. Denhardt. Barry, chief coun-
sci for Denhardt, was instructed
by Circuit Judge Charles G. Mar
shall to present an affidavit in
support of his motion.
The plea for a continuance,
Barry said, was based on the alb
sence of j. B. Hundley, barber,
who found the body of Mrs. Verna
Carr Taylor, Denhardt's fiancee,
in a roadside ditch, November 6.
Hundley has since moved to Ak
ron, Ohio, the lawyer said.
Court attaches believed the plea
for delay would be denied and Sc
lection Of a jury started promptly
Denhardt, the stocky one-time
Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky,
seemed undisturbed by the courts
denial of a change Of venue, as
he sat with his counsel, w. Clarke
Otte, former commonwealth attor-
ney at Louisville.
The general is charged with
numbering Mrs. Taylor during an
automobile ride on a country road
near La Grange, KY, the night
of November 6. Denhardt's army
pistol was found two feet from the
comedy widows body with two
cartridges exploded.
During the proceedings the
three brothers If Mrs. Taylor sat
with the four prosecutors, headed
by Commonwealth Attorney II. s.
An attorney himself, Denhsrdt
assisted his lawyers in mapping
the defense. Denhardt, 81, portly
and bald, served 10 years as pros.
ecutor in his native Bowling
Green, KY, and for two terms sat
as Warren County judge. In 1923
he became lieutenant governor
under Gov. William j. Fields, and
during the administration of Gov.
Ruby Laffoon served as adjutant
general.
Three times he led Kentucky
troops into troubled areas, and
following the occupation of Har.
Ian County in 1885 was hunted
for appearance before the Harlan
court to answer a contempt cita
ton,

TRIO CONDEMN
HIGH COURT
REVISION
Rabbi ,LaWSchooI Dean
And Patriotic Leader
Air Views
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

A clergyman, a law dean, and
the head of a patriotic society,
today condemned President RooSe.
velt's court plan as threatening
democracy, leading toward dicta"
torship, and smashing the indie.
pendence of the Federal judiciary.
Rabbi William F. Rosenblum, Of
Temple Israel, New York, launched
the attack before the Senate Jul
dietary Committee. He was fol.
lowed by Edward T. Lee, dean Of
the John Marshall Law School.

president of the Allied Patriotic
Societies, New York.
Becomes a Dictatorship"
Rabbi RosenbIum warned that
once the courts could be recon-
stituted to meet crisis, popular
Government ceases to be a democ-
racy and becomes dictatorship.
Dean Marshall charged the
Presidents plan tended to the
"disparagement, belittlement and
public derision of the court"
Kinnicutt declared thirty.five
patriotic societies in his organizar
ton we're opposed to the proposal.
He called it a scheme to make q
political capture of the judicial
branch of the Government, de-
stroying its independence and its
capacity to perform its constitu-
tional functions"
Few Attend Hearing
There was a general lack Of
interest among Senators in the
public hearings. Only a handful
attended, and Chairman Ashurst
CD of Arizona turned the pre-.
siding gavel over to substitutes.
Both sides apparently were
eager to get the Presidents bill
into the Senate, where a battle
royal was assured. The hearings
will be terminated by next
Wednesday, with the COMMITTEES
promptly considering the bill for
amendment in secret session. A
report to the Senate was expected
by the first week Of May.

Loyalist Seaplane Bombs Rebel Port
Of Melilla.

OUJDA. French Morocco. January
13 (P.-Three persons were killed and
two wounded in an air raid by Span
ish government seaplane over the
insurgent port Of Melilla, Spanish
Morocco.
An Associated Press correspondent
witnessed the bombing yesterday dur
ing trip into the Spanish zone to
investigate reported infiltration Of
German troops.
No German regular soldiers were to
be seen and the only evidence Of for
eign activity was an Italian ship in
the harbor Of Melilla.
The cabinet turned from Spanish
ono-intervention to home defense
plans and called up for review Britain's s
rearmament program for expanding on
formidable scale"
In the light of the still unsettled
European situation, Foreign Minister
Anthony Eden disclosed the dimen-
sions of the militarization plan, be-
fore the cabinet today, as rivaled only
by the ambitious scope of the pro-
gram through which England is
determined to keep peace in Europe
While Britain's own first lines of
defense were held to the fore. French
suggestions to control arms and VOL
unteers to Spain through strict su-
pervision of ports Of departure, ship
ping lanes and the French and Portu-
guese borders were felt to have fallen
on responsive ears.
The new French plan, said to have
been submitted yesterday, was con-
sidered to dovetail with the British
proposal for immediate stoppage Of
volunteers to the Spanish civil war.
Eden told the Foreign Press Associa-
ton last night the armament race was
madness" He warned Britain was
not growing soft and described the
nation as rearming on "a considera-
bic, indeed, a formidable, scale"
The foreign minister indicated ap-
proval of the recently resurrected
moves for Franco-German co-opera-
ton as means to European peace,
and definitely offered Britain's help
in any program to bring the third
Reich into economic and political
harmony with France and England.

"a AMERICANS TO REMAIN.
Decline to Join Evacuation Movement
From Madrid.

MADRID, January 13 R).-Thirty-
four Americans living In the United
States Embassy at Madrid declined
today to leave the Spanish capital
despite urgent warnings from State
Department ofiicials.
None had requested transportation
to Valencia when the noon deadline
arrived, although several said they
might depart later.
The warning sounded by Eric C..
Wendelin, third secretary now at VAL
encia, that the Embassy building
might be closed. caused some concern

Spanish husbands who have refused
to leave their homes, while others are
Puerto Ricans and Filipinos.
Eight Are Newspaper Men.
Eight of the "a Americans living in

Evacuation of the Spanish civil
population continued, meanwhile, at
the rate Of approximately 5000 daily.

forces had driven back an insurgent
column near Majadahonda, northwest
Of the capital.

surgents who swept through that Sec

Valencia Is B0mbarded.
Brief reports from Valencia, now

Gater reports from Valencia said
an insurgent ship or ships shelled the

Text of McCarl Statement
Former Controller General Fears President Has
Been Misled in Reorganization Plan-Donbts
Congress Will Give Up Power.

But even If these vital matters were
not involved. the proposal to give the
Treasury Department such a strangle
hold on all other departments and
activities of Government would seem
woefully to unbalance the machinery
of the executive branch.
The fact that the proposal is cam
ouf1aged by an attack upon the ad-
ministration Of the Independent ac-
counting system during the first Is
years of its existence must not be
permitted to divert attention from
the real vital issue involved. Such
attack appears to have been neces-
sary, as so bold q proposal could
hardly have been advanced behind
q lesser smoke-screen. Fortunately
the misleading and inaccurate state
ments appearing in the committees
report as basis for its recommended
ton are all susceptible of correction
by public records.
Even If during those Is years we
were prevented from being 100 per
cent perfect in exacting law observ-
ance in the uses of public moneys
and even if tender toes were neces-
sarily trod upon in the effort-such
considerations afford no reason what
soever why so fine a system and one
so essential to the success of our plan
of self-government should be emascu-
lated.
1t should be strengthened, not cruci-
fed.
Fears President Misled.
The fact that our one great offenSe
was that Of trying too hard to keep
the spending agencies within the law
is a criticism that should be hearten-
ing to that outstanding force that
means the General Accounting Offlce.
I fear the President has been misled
by his advisers and doubt that the
Congress will give much consideration
to any proposal involving giving up
of means adequate to discharge Of its
constitutional responsibilities.
The systematic independence of
the accounting system from domina-
ton and control by the executive
branch-is the vital thing. It would be
a long step backward for the Con-
gress to surrender its right to exact
law observance in the uses of the pub
lie moneys.
