CITIZENS FLAY
SCHOOL FUND
REDUCTION
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Association Editor


Aroused by the 100000 reduc-
ton in S45o,0 900 appropriation for
a high school at Fifth and Sheri-
dan Streets Northwest, civic groups
have opened a campaign to have
Senate and House confereeS restore
the full amount, it was announced
last night by Ernest H. Pullman,
president of the Manor Park Clti.
ZenS Association. The sum, au-
thorized by the House, was cur
tailed by the Senate.
The 100000 was slashed from
the appropriation, with an equal
amount from the fund set aside
for the new Thomas jefferson Me
mortal High School in the South
west, at the insiStence of school
officials, Mr.. Pullman declared.
The step was taken in an attempt
to equalize appropriations for
white and colored schools, and to
provide for a colored school at the
Banneker Recreation Center, he
added.
The protestants, who are headed
by the Manor Park and Takoma
Park ID. c. Citizens Associations,
disclaim any intention of retard-
ing the colored school program,
but fear that the next Congress
will refuse to add the extra $4,000
to the estimated $1,000,000 cost Of
the new building.
Senator Frazier is holding out
for the original appropriation. it
was disclosed, with the proviso
that construction be held up until
the money is made available.

What Do You Think

Just suppose it should be announced from
Washington that the next session of Congress would
devote itself to studying ways and means to reduce
the present extravagant cost of government;
That it would adjust, reduce or eliminate spec
ial, punitive class taxation that now hampers or
discourages businessmen the capital gains and
losses clause and the tax corporation surpluses:
That it would adopt strong and definite policy
that would protect the rights Of the worker as well
as the rights Of the factory owner and the public;
That it would all powers of the government
to see that workmen employees, union or non
union protected in their jobs and operations,
and that infringers their rights would suffer the
full penalties of law enforcement;
That it would discontinue its present program
of duplicating existing power facilities and the ex-
penditure of hundreds Of millions of dollars to pro-
vide an unnecessary competitive service against a
private industry whose rates already subject to
stringent public regulation
That it would study the rail transportation sys-
tenn from the standpoint Of encouraging rather
than hamstrnging the American railroads as is now
being done insdiously by those who would socialze
the carriers under government ownership.
Just suppose government would announce
such a program instead Of coming forth with new
and untried experiments threatening to property
rights, personal liberties investments and employ
ment
Do you think business would pick up in this
country money start to flow into new enterprises,
and new Jobs be created? Think it over.-1ndust-
