Why can't he read?
For years parents all over the
country have been asking this
question. School systems, con-
cerned over the high percentage
of failures in reading and related
subjects by intelligen children,
have at last found the answer
defective vision.
About a year ago DR.. Marion
Monroe, Pittsburgh eye specialist
who had solved reading problems
of hundreds of Pittsburgh school
children, came to Washington.
She brought along her eye-testing
machine. With the cooperation
of DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, several were
installed in the elementary
schools. Three teachers whose
knowledge of young children espe-
Cially fitted them for the job we're
taught how to use the machine
how to test eyes, to diagnose and
to treat.
For instance, so-called retarded
children who failed to go forward
because of loW-reading marks, were
found to be suffering from defec-
tive vision. some serious, but most

TIP IS CIV En-
BY MOTHER
OF YOUTH
Detectives Say Boy
Admits Being Red
Haired Thug

With two alleged members of
the red-haired bandit gang held
for investigation today, detectives
were trailing a third youth who
escaped last night, leaving an ars-
email of weapons in his room.
Those held are Richard Parks,
10, of the 5000 block Willow Ave,
Takoma Park, Md, and Silvio
Daneri, 81, of the 100 block Quincy
Pl. N. E.
The third youth sought is James
Phelps, 18, Of the First block Ran
dolph Pl. N. W., who made his
escape through an upper window
last night when detectives went
to his home. In his room police
found five rifles, Sawed-off shot
gun and four automatic pistols.
Mother Gives Tip
The arrests w ade yester-
day after Mrs d Morley,
mother of the Outh, went
to police heac, IS and told
Inspector Bernalu w. Thompson
that she believed her son was tax
ing narcotics, and that she had
seen a pistol in his room.
Police went to the house and
took him into custody. He offered
no resistance although four pis-
tolls were found in his room.
Detectives said he later ad.
mltted he was the "red-haired"
bandit sought, but denied that he
had obtained $629 which victims
claimed to have lost. Only $34 was
found in his room.
Flees Through Window
On the strength of information
given them by Parks, police next
took Daneri into custody, then
went to the home of Phelps.
There his grandmother called
upstairs to the youth that there
were some men waiting to see him.
But instead of coming downstairs,
the youth escaped through @ win
dow and has not yet been located.

PAY BILL PLEA
WEIGHED BY
SEN. BUL0W
.cCarran Opposed to
Delay in Hearings
on Proposal

Senator William j. Bulow CD
of South Dakota, chairman of the
Senate Civil Service Committee, to-
day promised Senator Pat McCar-
ran CD of Nevada, to confer with
the members of the committee on
whether to hold hearings on the
McCarran Federal pay increase
bill in the near future.
Senator McCarron made a
formal request of the chairman to
begin the hearing despite the re-
fuSal of the Budget Bureau and
the Civil Service Commission to
submit reports on the measure.
The letter from the Budget Bu-
reau recommended delay in view
of a study being prepared upon
which it is expected the President
will make his own recommends
ton in the matter. The Civil
Service Commission today sent a
short note to Chairman Bulow
withholding its report in view of
the Budget Bureau letter.
Benefits PredictSed
Senator McCarran told Senator
Bulow, however, that he believed
it would be beneficial to all con-
cerned if the Senate committe be-
gan the hearing and laid the
groundwork for the consideration
of not only his bill but any other
recommendation on the matter.
Gives Views on Bill
In explaining his views on com.
panion bill to be offered within
the next few days, to promote eff.
cheney in the Government service,
Senator McCarran said:
"SOme agencies have in mind
proposals which are more drastic
than appeal to me. 1t is gen.
orally the view, however, that
examinations should be held at
the conclusion of the first year
and several years thereafter for
all new Government employees.
A percentage of those who make
poor grades would be dropped.
Some of the agencies believe
they should be dropped out en-
tirely.
Il do not hold entirely to that
view for believe that after two
years service the Government
has an investment in the individ-
ual and that place should be
found for him to fit his capabili-
ties. am preparing data on the
bill for some such series of ex-
aminatiOns, however, because
do not think that just because
a person passes one examination
he should be bIanketed into a job
for life. I do not think this new
procedure should affect the en-
plOyeS already in service"
The new bill Is intended to
provide a series of examinations
as a basis for a new deal in the
manner of promotions. It is
erstood in well-informed
circles that President Roosevelt
will be great deal more sympa-
thetic with the pay-raise proposal
if it is predicated upon a new
system for raising the efficiency
Of Government employees.
