YADEN FACTION
WINS IN BALLOT
ON RED RIDER
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Association Editor

An attempt to have the Fedora
ton of Citizens Association rescine
its action Of last year, which
created a committee to work to
ward elimination of subversive anc
communiStic propaganda in Dis
trict public schools, and thus pave
the way for quick action on the
"red rider" failed Saturday night
at meeting of the federation
held at the District Building.
A motion made by Jesse C. Suter
delegate from the Society of Ma
tives, to discharge the committee
met quick opposition by James G.
Yaden, past president of the FED.
Grafton, who declared the motion
was not in accord with the consti-
tuition and bylaws of the organiza-
ton, nor in agreement with Rob
erts' book of rules.
In the midst of a heated debate,
President Thomas E. Lodge sus-
tanned Mr.. Yaden.
Quinn Urges Repeal
George E. Sullivan, chairman
of the committee, after taking the
floor to report on present activi-
ties of the group, said that there
was resolution before the COM
mittee that had been made only a
few minutes before the meeting
convened and therefore no report
could be made at this time.
Henry I. Quinn, delegate from
the Sixteenth Street Highlands
Citizens Association and member
of the Board of Education, joined
in the demand for discharge of
the committee.
He declared the House had been
afraid to right an injustice, by fail
ing to vote for repeal of the red
rider. in fear they would be &C
cused back home of favoring COM
munism. no teacher, he asserted,
had ever been found guilty OF
teaching communism.
Mr.. Sullivan pleaded with the
assembly to take no action against
a previous stand in support of the
red rider, which he said was in
strumental in revealing a certain
type of text books used in the
public schools.
Yaden Vote Wins
On a rou-call vote demanded by
Mr.. Yaden, who had previously
paid high tribute to public school
teachers, the motion to discharge
the committee was lost on a vote
of 80 to %, which indicated no
quorum.
Other business coming before
the meeting was the adoption Of
reports by DR.. Charles B. Camp
bell, chairman of the committee
on public health, opposing a bill
by Representative Lemke, elimina-
ting the requirements of vaccina-
tion and inocular1on of children
before admission to public schools
and colleges in the District.
Opposition was also registered
against pending legislation, chang
ing the present law governing the
practice of optometry in the Dis
trict.
The appointment of a special
committee was directed to study
the milk prices here.

Curley's Son to Quit
Harvard Over Insult

BOSTON, May 10 QN.S0.
Apologies failed today to soothe
former Gov. James M. Curley and
his son, Leo, over the alleged in
suit hurled at the former COVER
nor by an unnamed professor Of
the Harvard University law school.
AS a result, Leo's resignation as
a freshman at the Harvard Law
School stands.
With facial muscles bullying,
and fighting to hold an even tone
of voice, Ex-Governor Curley ex-
planned the insult. A student in
Leo's class, he said, asked the pro-
fessor :. question about a former
mayor of Chicago.
The professor replied that the
man was corrupt, but the people
had kept rejecting him much in
the same fashion as the people OF
Boston would elect Curley mayor
of Boston next November, Curley
said:
"The professor did not assert
I was corrupt, but there was a
nasty implication in his words"
Leo admonished the professor
after the class, and the professor
apologized. Curley said:

TRAFFIC RULES TO BE DRASTIC
 FOR 36 HOURS

London, (UP)-April 30.-The London Transport Board and Scot- land Yard traffic experts, after sis months work, have evolved a plar to deal with the 36-hour Coronation rush of May Ii, 12 and l3. The arrangements deal with ali trans- portation faciliteis including the police regulations of private cars and taxicabs.
 The Underground service, which does not operate all night undei ordinary conditions, will be ope. all the night prior to Coronation Day. Twelve of the less important stations will be closed May 12 tf prevent delay. Four stations along the roue of the Royal Procession will not be opened until after the procession has passed.
 Bus and trolley service will be more frequent during that periu<l with special emphasis being placed on improving the night schedules The suburban trains also will ex- tend their schedules to meet the demand.
 A large area surrounding the route of the Coronation procession will be closed to ordinary vehicu- lar traffic and the actual route has been divided into six parts. A map supplied by the Transport Board shows the six parts in different colors and gives the easiest means of reaching and leaving the diff | ferent parts.

STREET PARTIES ON CORONATION
 NIGHT PLANNED

London, April 30.-(UP)--A large number of streets here will be closed to all traffic on the night of May IF in order that the residents nt tlaose thoroughfares may have street pagties celebrating the Coronation,
 It is. impossible to predict how many of these parties will be held, but metropolitan police author:- ties have granted permission for many such celebrations and addi- taonsl applications are constantly being received.
 AS much as 2200 ($1.oO0) have been contributed for the festiyi- ties along some streets, while many funds range in the neigh bortcod of &100 ($500). The money, in most cases, will be spent for flags, bunting, banners, flood-light- ing, refreshments and orcheStraS Barricades will be put up to keep out traffic and those who are net residents of the street.
 One district has provided for Mmplifiers along the entire length of the street, also red, white and blue costumes for all the children under fourteen years of age. Toys and souvenirs will be given to the participants of Q number of these parties and most of the remaining money will go to charity.
 Braks bands, as well as dance crchestrss, are in demand. Al. though England has more thar 5000 bands, every one of them has been booked for May IF since tho egSd of last year. About fifty olt bsnds have been re.establishec and new ones formed during tlis past year.

 But there are more than 50o,0oC children in London's schools, not counting the many private schools How the favored childern are tc be selected is one of the school au- thorities' initial problems.
 To begin with, children under Il will be ruled out, halving the num- Der. It is probable that schools then will be informed of the quota for each, the schools to select their children by ballot or other means.
 The millions of children living outside of London will fare worse. Some 5000 from towns near Lon- don, and representatives of youth organizations, will have standing space reserved on Constitution Hill.
 All other children will be luck less, unles stheir parents are able to buy seats along the procession route.
 School authorities took 10000 London children to see King George and Queen Mary in their Jubilee procession. but space then was more easily obtained.
 Special stands will be erected for the children on the embank- ment, but they will not be covered Children, therefore, will be asked to bring raincoatS in case of shower. A similar request at the Jubilee celebration disclosed that many poor children had no rain- coats. A collection of old coats was made from more fortunate chil- dren. About 500 of these coats are still on hand and will be lent on May 12.
 The children will have long wait in the stands, as they must be in their seats by 2 a. m.
