WHOLESALE LIQUOR
PLACE IS OPPOSED
School Officials Act to Ban Per-
init to Establishment at
SO o Street.

A wholesale liquor establishment
within 100 feet of a school was ruled
against by school officials yesterday
in the first wholesale case to come
before them under the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board regulation pro-
viding that a liquor place may be
established within 400 feet of school
or church if the proper authorities
consent.
The case concerned the application
of the District Wholesale Corp, a
wholesale drug and liquor house, to
occupy the premises of So o street.
The principals of the nearby Dunbar
and Armstrong High Schools and the
Margaret Mary Washington Trade
School for Girls, together with the
Parent-Teacher group in the area,
were of the opinion that permission
should not be granted.
The recommendation, approved by
DR.. G. c. Wilkinson, first assistant
superintendent, in charge Of divisions
1913, has been transmitted to Supt.
Frank w. Ballou, from whom it will
go to the attorney of the Board Of
Education for presentation when the
case comes up before the A. 3. c.
Board.

JOB PANIC GUARD
URGED BY STENGLE
National President of A. F. G. E.
Cites Blow at Morale During
Roosevelt Reorganization.

The governmental reorganization
bill should be drafted by Congress
IN such a way as Ito prevent any
recurrence of the job panic and loss
Of morale that accompanied reor-
ganlzation procedure a few years
ago" Col. Charles l. Stengle. national
president of the American Federation
OF Government Employees, declared
today.
1t will be recalled" Col. Stengle
said, that in the reorganization ef-
fected early in President RooSevelt's
first term, the procedure was ap-
proximately this: The agencies af-
fected by reorganization plans were
abolished and new agencies were
created to replace them. The en-
ployes of the old agencies became
temporary employees of the new, with
out civil service rights for the period
of reorganization. This made it possi-
BILE to dismiss many of them with.
out much formality. and many Of
them we're, in fact. dismissed
The most important feature Of
this program, however. was perhaps
not the hardship wrought so far as
the dismissed employees we're con-
cerned but the state of job panic and
loss Of morale brought about in those
agencies by a very general apprehen-
sion among the entire group of en-
ployes. When employees have no means
of knowing whether their jobs are
secure, they can hardly be expected
to maintain the customary efficiency
Of their work"
Col. Stengle proposed that civil
service employees be assured of the
maintenance Of their status. and that
dismissals. where necessary. be based
on a sound and equitable program
founded on efficiency and seniority"

BY J. A. OLEARY.

With plans completed for the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial at the
Tidal Basin, movement is now un-
der way in Congress to honor another
of the Nations founders, James Mad
iSon.
A resolution calling for creation Of
a James Madison Memorial Commits
sion was introduced in the Senate yes
terday by Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of
Virginia and referred to the Senate
Library Committee. Byrd said he

deep debt of gratitude of Madison,
the Fourth President Of the United
States and father of the Constitu-
ton"

The memorial would be erected in
Washington. but its location and de-
sign are questions on which the COM
mission would submit recommended
tions to Congress later Although no
appropriation is called for, the COM
mission would be authorized to accept
funds from public or private sources
for the purpose of making surveys and
preparing plans.
The commission would consist Of
nine members, three to be named by
the President, three Senators selected
by the Vice President and three House
members selected by the Speaker.
Senator Byrd prepared a similar
resolution about two years ago. but
no action was taken at that time.
Prominent in History.
Through his service in the Virginia
Assembly the Continental Congress
and in the Constitutional Convention,
Madison's name figures prominently
in the history Of the founding of the
Nation. The notes which he recorded
on the proceedings of the Constitu-
tional Convention comprise one of his
most valuable contributions to that
history.
Madison also served in thesFirst,
Second, Third and Fourth Congresses

1 4 considerable uproar on the
second floor a few days ago, caused by
a young man who went around peer

a monkey owner?"
Some of the people didn't catch that
word "owner" and got mad right
away. Others thought there was q
gag in it somewhere and refused to
answer. Each time patiently the young
man demonstrated what he said was
a monkey collar and insisted that
somebody had telephoned his pet shop
and ordered one sent to the second
floor. new House ONCE Building. He
didn't remember the room number.

PUTTER MOST VALUABLE OF ALL CLUBS;
 JESSE GUILFORD SHOT 72 WITH IT ALONE
By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

Jesse Guilford, former United States amateur champion, went around the Westchester Biltmore course at Rye, N. r., in 72, using only butter.
 Leo Diegel some years back won an important tournament on the sandy course of the Coronado, Calit., Country Club while making little use of any other club but a butter.
 The butter probably is the most valuable club in the bag. The aver age golfer makes 50 per cent Of his shots with it.
 The putter's use is not limited to the putting surface. Good use can be made of it in getting out of a shallow trap. By using the back of the blade as a hitting surface 1t re- places a left-handed iron, which IS needed when the ball comes to rest in spot where it is impossible for golfer to take proper stance.
 There are few set rules to follow in putting. The putting stroke must be worked out to suit the individual. The player must take comfortable stance. Whether the greater weight is on the left foot or whether the weight is equally distributed mat terS little. Some glip the club more firmly with the left hand, some with

Little Mountains, Eastman, Va, May 12-(UP)-Today I ride to hounds.
 I know I'll thrill to the chase, be- cause the pursuit of Reynard the fox via horseback, runs in the Mo- Lemore blood. Take my uncle Lem, for example. My uncle Lem on my mothers side. There was time when uncle Lem never went any, where without hounds behind. The state of Georgia pack-blood, not fox-with the sheriff as master, used to chase uncle Lem about two times a month. He was chased so much that in his later years he devel- oped brush and couldn't go to the corner grocery store without dou- bling back on himself.
 My ride today will be in the na- ture of an experiment. Last fall l was invited to join the Brushwillow Hunt, an organization which spends three days a week worrying the hell out of g.. fox. The Brushwillow Hunt won't ride again until October, because between now and then the vixens are in 8 "vix"-that is to say, the female foxes are in woodland lying-in hospitals producing more little foxes to be annoyed by the hunt clubs.
 Antique
 But could not wait until Octo- Der to ride I need practice. So, straight from the derby in Louisville I came to Little Mountains, the Vir- ginia estate of Mrs. Helen Curtiss Cowles, to perfect my horsemanship. As write this my horse stands sad- dled at the door. To be truthful he's sitting, because he is the oldest horse in the point of service in Vir- ginia. General Lee complained about his age in 1865. Mrs. Cowles tried to palm of young horse on me, but I prefer mature horse who has lived. In fact, one who is tired of living. l know this horse is old, because I looked him straight in the mouth, gift horse or no gift horse. His favorte gait is the hesitation waltz, and he does not object to me using a howdah instead of a saddle.
 My pack of hounds also is out side the door. It is not an ordi- nary pack. In fact, it is composed of dogs no one else will hunt with. They are all house dogs who seem to have sensed that I know no more about hunting than they do. The pack consists of a Schnauzer, 8 cocker spaniel, an Irish setter, and what is locally known as a "var- mint" hound. Judging by his odd assortment of characteristics, the "varmint" hounds mother must have been frightened by the entire Westminster Kennel club.

 Acquisition of Johnson was be- lieved the first step in Shakeup that would see two players cut from the club roster within a week. The Bees now have six outfielders, the others being Vince DiMaggio, the ailing Wally Berger, Gene Moore Debs Garms and Grankie McGow- an.

 Meanwhile, reports persisted that Buck Jordan, who lost his regular first base assignment as result of a stubborn holdous siege, would be sold or traded.
