the Dennison School, will not be ready
until early next year.
Besides the school-facilities prob
lens. the Board of Education soon
is expected to have before it the re-
port forwarded by the Commissioners
and the Traffic Department recon-
mending a change from 9 am. to
$50 am. in sthe opening hour of
schools to put the school-children
rush back of the morning-traffic rush.
The board already has acted on the
proposal to change the opening hour to
$50 am, deciding to retain the pres
cision was a poll of parents conducted
by Supt. Ballou, which revealed a
plurality, but not a majority in favor
of the earlier hour. At that time par
ents representing lat per cent Of the
enrolled children approved the $50
suggestion.
The traffic director declared that
staggered hours were the only solution.
He pointed out the schools had asked
for installation of n traffic lights when
funds were available for far less than
that number, but added that stop
signs would be made available if the
School Board could make arrange
ments with the janitors of the schools
to have them removed when they were
not necessary.
Plans for transferring classes for
crippled children from the old Weight
man and Magruder Schools to modern,
f1reproof buildings were approved at
the initial meeting of the School
Board last Tuesday. The 81 white
crippled children who were cared for
last term at the Weightman School,
Twenty-third and M streets, will be
transferred to the Langdon School in
Northeast Washington. The 35 &C -ored
crippled children will be transferred
from Magruder school to the Anthony
Bowen School, in the Southwest Sec
tion Of the city.
The problem of finding other
quarters was raised early last month
by a fire department inspection re-
port declaring that both the Weight
man and Magruder Schools were
"unsuited for this class of occu-
pancy" and recommending that their
use for crippled children be "imme-
diately discontinued.
Mrs. Doyle told the School Board
last week that the transfer was mere
ly an emergency action, and urged
members of the board to continue
their fight for adequate structures
for the handicapped children.
Special Building Proposed
The School Boards projected five
year building program calls for event.
ual construction of new buildings
especially designed for crippled and
other types of handicapped children.
The Weightman and MaRruder
Schools have been used for crippled
children since special classes were
established for them six years ago.
The school budget as submitted to
District officials asks for more than
S6,000,000 over what was allowed for
the current year.

By u. S., Carnett Discovers

Court and Court Of Appeals Buildings
are under the Department of Justice.
and the Police Court Building should
be as we'll"
Garnett said search Of the title of
the land indicated it was decided to
trustees to be held for the use of the
Federal Government by the original
land owners on Mach 80, 1891. In
1880 the Supreme Court, in the case
of Van Ness VS.. the Mayor of WASH
ington, expressed the belief that the
title reposed in the United States Gov
ernment, Garnett declared, adding
that ownership Of the land had never
been lost.
Should three additional District
Court judges be appointed, as was
recommended recently by the confer
ence Of senior Circuit Court judges,
the need for additional space will be-
come imperative, he asserted. He
pointed TOUT that ofilces for the new
judges would have to be provided and
the District Court Building remod-
eled 50 Is to create three new court
rooms.
He said he hoped that an addition
to the District Court Building would
be authorized in the near future, but
that meanwhile other arrangements
would have to be made.

Pushing his fight for space in the
new $l,500O00 Police Court Building
denied him by the District Commits
sioners, United States Attorney Leslie
c. Garnet revealed today he has dis
covered that title to the land on which
the building stands Is in the name of
the Federal Government. Previously
he had urged the Justice Department
to seek jurisdiction over the structure.
Garnett said that at recent con-
ference with Joseph B. Keenan,, as
sistant to the Attorney General, he re-
quested that the Attorney General
sponsor legislation to give the depart
ment control Of the new building and
nullify . provision in the appropriate
tion act giving the Commissioners con-
troll.
He said he was not at liberty to re-
veal Keenan's attitude toward his sug-
gestion.
The fight over control of the build
ing began when the Commissioners
refused Garnett's request for space in
the building for the grand jury and
clerical workers.
"If title to the land Is in the Federal
Government" don't see why 1t also
shouldn't have control Of the building" :"
Garnet declared. 4 Both the District
