MRS. DOYLE

Contending appointments on the
Board of Education will be gov
erned by politics if the board is
placed under control of the Dis
trict Commissioners, Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle, board chairman
today took sharp issue with the
proposal by Commissioner Melvin
C. Hazen.
The first woman ever to head
the school board declared:
Il am convinced the people of
Washington want the Board of
Education to be Independent of
politics.
Extensive hearings were held
before passage Of the 1906 or
ganic act. The people of Wash
ingtOn at that time impressed
Congress with the fact that they
want the schools divorced from
politics"
David Babp, secretary to the
Federation of Citizens Associa
tions, declared himself in favor OF
popular election for members OF
the education board.
Commissioner Hazen made his
suggestion yesterday. 1t was one
of several incorporated in report,
which he turned over to E. Bar

special committee created to study

BAR LIQUOR
DRINKING
BACKED
House DC, Committee
Approves Change in
ABC Program

An amendment to the local
liquor law, which would permit the
drinking of "hard" liquor at bars
was approved by the House District
subcommittee today.
The subcommittee also approved
a measure permitting appeals from
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board to be taken to District
courts instead of to District Com
missioners, as at present, and an
other prohibiting large quantities
of tax free liquor to be brought
into the city.
Three proposals to amend the
existing liquor laws were rejected
by the subcommittee. These would
have prohibited the transfer of
liquor licenses, permitted the Serv-
ing of liquor until 2 a. m. Sunday
and increased the license fees Of
liquor solicitors.
Bartenders For It
The measure which would per-
nit hard liquors to be served at
bars was opposed by George Of
futt, a member of the ABC Board.
He urged that the law be left as it
is, and was joined in his objection
by Burt Lopatin, president of the
Glass C and D liquor dealers as
ISOLATION and F. Joseph Donohue,
attorney for that association.
On the other hand, Charles =.
Sands, representing the barten-
derS union told the subcommittee
that this bill has the Endorsement
Of the Washington Buildings Trade
Council and the Central Labor
Union. He said:
"This is bill foe the benefit
of the tOiIfng masses who
haven't money enough to go
into Swanky hotel to get q
drink"
The bill to prohibit tax free
liquors from coming into the Dis
trict also was approved over Of
futt's objection.
Aimed at Alien Sales
Representative Paul Shafer
(R0 of Michigan, author of the
measure, pointed out that he had
introduced it because of informa-
ton showing taht "bluebloods of
Washington" are regularly cir
cularized by out-of-town dealers
who offer the liquor for sale at
lower prices than can be met by
local dealers.
This is possible, Shafer said,
because the out-of-town solicitors
do not have to pay a local tax
here on the liquor, and since it is
to be sold in a foreign State,
nevertheless a tax collected by
the State Of origin.
Offutt based his objection on the
ground that it would be almost
impossible to enforce such law
here. He said:
1--WE are trying to operate
liquor laws here that can be en-
forced to the letter. If you let
the people start pulling up the
corner of the tent, it had bad
effect"
Shafer, however. contended that
by losing the revenue from this
oUt.of.town liquor and permitting
other cities an advantage over To-
cal dealers "the corner Of the tent
is being pulled up"

MEN SET FOR

Union Head Threatens
Call Unless Wood
Charge Is Pushed

"Stench bombs" and noxious
gases used in current warfare are
mild In comparison with the gar
bage fumes which will settle over
Washington unless something is
done soon about the charges
brought three weeks ago against
Superintendent Of Garbage Collec
tion w. r. Wood, according to
James Kimbroe, business agent OF
Local No. 466 of the Hod Carriers
Union, whose organization EN-
braces the city's garbage collec'
tors.
All Of them, he declared today,
are sore enough at the District to
strike at "any given moment" :.
He threatened to call his men
from their jobs and, with the tenn
perature above 80, predicted il
would be terrific"
No Time Like Present
Kimbroe charged officials with
attempting to whitewash charges
of inhuman treatment and favorit-
ism brought against Wood. He de
clared:
They're only trying to put
off q decision in the matter un-
til cold weather sets in and it
don't do us any good to strike,
because the garbage won't smell
SO bad"
He insisted he had his men all
ready to walk off their beats at 9
giver signal, and promised that
signal would be forthcoming soor
unless something happens"
DeNeale Explains
Speaking for "the powers that
be-" Assistant Corporation Counsel
Stanley DeNeale said that inexpert
stenographers had taken down the
testimony in the four-day trial
and that they had been devoting
the interim to translation OF
their efforts. Until he can get a
COPY of the record, DeNeale said
he will be unable to make recon-
mendation to the District Commits
SionerS.
He hopes to do this within the
next day or so, in time to avert
what he admits might be "a nasty
situation"
Variety Of Charges
Wood was brought before a trial
board on allegations by the NUM-
cipal Employees Association that
he took up collections among tbs
men under him and diverted the
proceeds to his own personal use
He also forced several of his
charges to work without compen
sation on his truck farm in La
Plata, Md, they charged.
Attorney Robert Mccullough
who presented the employees case
against Wood, said today he be
lieved he would be able to mollifJ
the garbage collectors "for 6
time" but added that they
couldn't be held in check much
longer. He said they were evi
IDENTIFY determined to get action On

ONCE UPON OCT. 18TH

Exactly 16 years to a day after a
declaration of rights was issued by
the STAMP Act Congress" the first
representative convention of the Anne
rican colonies, General Lord Corn
wallis surrendered his army at York
town to the American-French allied
forces and the Revolution that Con-
gress started was as good as won.
On that morning of Oct. 10, 1871, the
legend is that 43-year-old Charles
CORVALLIS feigned sickness to avoid
personally surrendering his sword to
Washington. But he might well have
been sick at the thought of the humu-
lating consequences of his surrender,
even though he had opposed Britain's
use of armed force in America and
had accepted command against the
Revolutionists only because it was his
duty as a soldier.
CORVALLIS not only escaped CEN
sure, however, but later was made
knight of the Garter and served as
governor-general of India and viceroy
of Ireland.
The army of 1857 British, Canadian
and American Tory regiments and
German (Anspach and Hesse) mercen-
aries surrendered by CORVALLIS was
almost identical with the number of
Americans killed in action in the five
years of ,184, or fewer
than the number killed in automobile
accidents in this country in a half
year (Only 1920 were killed or seri-
ously wounded on both sides of the
Revolution.
Ironically, the 54th anniversary of
CORVALLIS surrender to Washington
and Rochambeau, was the day of
court decided the United States gov
eminent couldn't avoid repaying heirs
of Pierre Beaumarchais, French play
wright and merchant, for credits ad-
vanced in the form of war supplies
during the Revolution.
Beaumarchais had died in poverty,
the suit unsettled. The heirs had
