EDUCATOR TALKS
TO SOCIAL GROUP
More Personal Relationship
With Clients Advised by
Dr.. Sternheim.

Social workers must guard against a
"predominantly institutional mind"
and develop more personal and in
dividual relationship with clients, DR..
Emanuel Sternheim, Chicago educator,
author and lecturer, told members Of
the Council OF Social Agencies yes
terday,
Speaking in Barker Hall on the
sixteenth anniversary of the founding
OF the council, DR.. Sternheim charged
that pragraatism in the sense OF eval-
uation Of work by immediate results
and egotism are the two great enemies
social work has to vanquish. He de-
clared social workers far too frequent
ly are "all bundled up In terminology"
and added:
We have now vocabulary of social
work because we have gone technique
wild. We must extricate ourselves from
the morass of Technology"
Social workers, DR.. Sternheim said,
are divided into three classes, those
who regard their work as a Job started
at 9 and ended at S, those who feel
that the cosmos revolves around their
personality and those who are the
gods and goddesses" Of social work.
The educated social worker" DR..
Sternheim said must have a whole
some respect for facts, broad un-
derstanding of diverse values, dis
clpllned sense of his relationship to
future events, knowledge OF the re-
lation Of means to an end and a re-
sponsible awareness of his relation to
society"
Rev. Russell ]. Clinchy, president of
the council, urged the group to become
more vocal in arousing District citi-
zens to conditions that exist in the
city. I'VE must lift up our voices to
Washington" he said, "and make it
hear what needs to be done"
The Goodwill Industries of Washing

the council, bringing the number of
affiliated groups to 81.

LOAD LIMIT HIT
AS FIRE MENACE
Hlllcrest Citizens Associa atom Sees
Heavy Equipment Barred
From Bridge.

Declaring that property in the Hill
crest section was being jeopardized by
lack Of fire protection since the load
limit on the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge had been reduced to 10000
pounds, making it impossible for the
larger fire trucks to cross, the HilIcrest
Citizens Association last night asked
that this matter be taken up by he
associations Executive Committee and
that some plan be evolved to remedy
the situation.
1t was pointed out that the nearest
station with hook ard ladder truck
is across the bridge and that limiting
the load makes it necessary for larger
trucks, some of which weigh more
than 1900 pounds, to take a round
about route in answering q fire In
the section
Robert Haycock, assistant superin-
tendent of schools, told the associa-
ton that property for an elementary
school in the section had not been
deflnitely chosen but it would be in the
vicinity OF Alabama and Pennsylvania
avenues southeast If the flve-year
school building plans are carried out.

BURKE WON'T FIGHT
JUDGES NOMINATION
Says, However, Williams Prom
ise to Quit at 70 Was
Unwise Act.
BY the Associated Press.


Senator Burke, Democrat, Of Ne
braska, said last night he would not
oppose confirmation of Judge Robert
R. Williams nomination to the Tenth
Circuit Court Of Appeals bench in
Oklahoma when the nomination comes
up for Senate consideration.
I think Judge Williams is q GOOD
Judge and will make an excellent Judge
OF the Circuit Court of Appeals" said
Burke, an opponent of President
Roosevelt's court reorganization plan.
L think he acted unwisely when he
declared his support OF the Presidents
plan and promised, in his letter to the
Department of Justice, to retire at 10.
Such action might be the start of a
program under which President could
demand such an agreement from Judi
cial nominees, which would amount to
presidential amendment Of the Con-
stitution. Amendment OF the Consti-
tuition can only be done properly by
submitting the proposal to the people.
Il may have occasion to reiterate
my previous remarks regarding Judge
Williams attitude, but I will not op-
pose his confirmation"
