SPEER PRESIDENT
OF G. W. U. BODY
Center Party Candidate Winner
After Two Days Balloting.
Left Party Has "a.

Following two days of balloting by
the student body, the Center party last
night won the largest number of seats
in the George Washington University
Student Union, with 81, and its presi-
dental candidate, James P. Speer. 3D.
became president of the legislature.
The winning group, however, suf-
fered a proportionate loss to the Left
party, with "a. and the Rightists, with
%. Last year it had a plurality OF
18 over the other groups.
Commenting on the closeness of the
outcome, Speer said:
Il believe the close vote will benefit
the union by creating more interest
in the minority parties. The majority
party will have to be on its mettle to
retain its leadership"
Each party will now choose its dele
gate to party conventions, the first
OF which will be that of the Leftists
Wednesday. The first session Of the
legislature will be held early in No.
vember.
The union was set up two years ago
by the students to afford practice in
parliamentary procedure and to serve
as medium for expression of interest
in public affairs. It is modelled on
the Oxford and Cambridge societies
and has itself served as a model for
student legislatures in other univer-
stiles.

$500 Involved.

A verdict in favor of IS members of
the District National Guard Band.

proximating $4,000, was handed down
in Municipal Court yesterday by Judge

The verdict was based on only one
OF the rs cases, it being stipulated
that this single case would serve as
a test, since the facts in all were
virtually the same.
The suits were filed in September,
1886, through the law firm of Tilson,.
Stanley & McCuen to decide whether
members of the band were entitled
to 81 day from the District for time
spent at camp and during parades
in addition to their regular militia
pay.
Prior to the fiscal year 1888 an
item for pay of troops" was In
cluded in the annual District appro-
prlation act. A report of the fact
that pay for the band was included
in this item was made to the District
budget officer for inclusion in his rsr
port to Congress, but that item was
eliminated in committee.
The pay sought had accumulated
since the item was discontinued.

INTUITION HELD
GUIDE IN RELIEF
Family Welfare Association
ParIey Hears Logic Can't
Single Out Needy.

Social workers dealing with relief
clients need some of the psychic quail
ties Of the Delphian Oracle, experts at
the meeting of the Middle Atlantic
Regional Committee, Family Welfare
Association of America, at the Ward
man Park Hotel, learned yesterday.
AS they entered their sessions, the
delegates found copies of an article by
Elizabeth H. Dexter of New York City
on the question of Has Case Work a
Place in the Administration OF Public
Relief" Relief clients often tell SO
many half-truths to sociological in
vestigators that the worker must rely
Miss Dexter wrote, explaining:
THE relief applicant may be un-
willing to disclose his situation for q
variety of reasons. In some instances
it may be that he deliberately seeks
relief illegally. From a sense OF
honor the applicant may prefer to
use his last savings to pay his debts
or he may misunderstood the agency's
restrictions and conceal information
unwittingly.
"On the other hand. his distress
may so confuse and bewilder him that
he gives a contradictory, illogical
rambling account of his difficulties
Sometimes his humiliation at seeking
relief causes him to understate his
circumstances, or fear of rejection
leads him to exaggeration.
In fact, the clients behavior may
furnish no ready index to what is
going on within him. In order tc
reach the facts necessary to prove
eligibility, the worker must often finc
her way through barrier of human
feeling"
The three-day meeting will enc
today.

POLICE AID SOUGHT

Van Duzer Thinks 10000
to 10000 Drivers Lack
Valid Permits.

Traffic Bureau officials today were
considering asking the aid of the
Metropolitan Police force in making a
thorough check-up on the number of
District motorists operating automo-
biles without permits.
M. o. Eldridge, assistant director
Oh the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic, said it has not been decided
just how the Police Department would
conduct such an investigation, but
that methods used in other cities in
periodic checks of motorists without
permits are being studied.
In announcing a roundup of un-
licensed operators yesterday. Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer called
attention to the fact that last year
some 1000 persons arrested for traffic
violations were found to be driving
without permits or on expired permits,
Had these persons not been in
volved in accidents or stopped for
trafflc violations, they probably would
nave escaped detection" Van Duzer
said. The fact that many are in
volved in traffic crashes shows that
the driver without a permit is dan
gerous.
On a proportionate basis. there
must be 10000 or 10000 persons here
operating cars without permits
Van Duzer said he will confer on
the question soon with Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen, but he would not
say Just what plan will be recon-
mended to him. He admitted there is
a possibility Washington may adopt
method, used in other cities. in
which police stop. for instance, 10 out
