Penguin Chick Pecking Way Out Of Shell at Zoo

After 40 days and nights of patient
brooding, the Zoos penguin pair have,
at long last, begun to hatch their
chicks.
The fuzzy head of one tiny chick
emerged this morning after night Of
piping at the tough shell which ap-
parently was designed by nature to
Withstand the rigors of harsh winter
on the icy coasts of the Far South.
The mother penguin, or at least the
bird believed by Keeper Malcolm
Davis to be the female Ct the pair,
took over the brooding duty this
morning at this critical period. Mr..
Davis is convinced the little chick will
emerge from the shell in the very near
future.
The first egg appeared last Febru-
ary l, and the second came five days
later. Nobody seemed to know how
long it took a jackass penguin to
hatch out. DR.. william M. Mann, Zoo
director, loaned the only reference
book he had on the subject sometime
ago.
Not remembering who had the book.
DIR. Mann had to be content to wait
until it was returned or until the pen
gums settled the issue themselves.
Mr.. Davis kept the birds under
scrutiny last night because he wished
to record for science the exact incu-
baton period Of the jackass penguin.
The male penguin stood guard duty
this morning with proud gleam in
his eye. He seemed ready to repel any
intruder. remote as the possibility was
that the felicitous keepers would al

GERMAN SOLDIERS

Troops Reach Brenner Pass

With Duce's Force.

bS the Associated Press.
ROME, March 12.-For the first
time since the World War German
troops today stood at Italy's frontier,
at the historic Brenner Pass, and made
friendly contact with Italian border
guards.
Five truckloads of German infantry
under liuetenant colonel, part of the
leglons marching into Austria to make
sure Reichsfuehrer Hitler's don1ina-
ton. arrived at the strategic Alpine
portal.
In Rome it became apparent Hitler
mad given Premier Mussolini advance
information that he was sending Ger
man troops into Austria.
The commander of the German de-
tachment at Brenner Pass immedi-
atelv called on the Italian commander
of the frontier garrison.
Their meeting took place near the
barrier which bears the Latin legend:
Frontier stone between Italy and
Austria, consecrated by the Treaty of
St Germain, September 10, 1919"
The German, speaking in Italian,
said:
Il offer the salute of the German
nation and express its admiration to
your chief"
The Italian commander thanked him
and paid tribute to Hitler.
The meeting showed how Europe
had moved since 1884, when Mussolini
rushed his divisions to the Brenner
Pass as gesture to restrain Germany
at the time of the Nazi putsch OF
July 25.
In ancient times the Brenner Pass
was the avenue for three Teuton inva-
sions of the Italian peninsula.

.ULT|MATUM GIVEN
IVA. DIRECTORS
Quit Disputes or Resign,
President Tells Three
at Hearing.
BY JOHN H. CLINE.

The three directors of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority were faced
today with an ultimatum from Presi-
dent Roosevelt to compose their diff
ferences or resign.
The President took this stand last
night after a day-long conference
with the trio had brought a blunt
statement of defiance from Chair
man Arthur E. Morgan and a VOL
luminous mass of data in support of
their position from his hostile CO.
directors, DR.. Harcourt Morgan and
David E. Lilienthal.
When the conference broke up the
President told the directors:
In my judgment, the public inter-
est cannot further be jeopardized by
internal dissension. and I can only
reiterate it is the duty Of every men,
Der OF the board to consider at board
meetings. impersonally and effectively,
the important problems and policies
of the T. v. A. and not to obstruct the
carrying out of decisions reached by
majority of the board. And must
say quite frankly that any Of you
who cannot do that owe it to the
public of the United States not to re-
main on the board"
Although the statement on its face
appeared to be directed to Chairman
Morgan, Stephen Early. White House
secretary, emphasized that the Presi-
dent had addressed his remark to all
three directors
The President instructed the trio
to return in person next Friday or
submit in writing any further state
ments they have to make in connec-
ton with the controversy. Mr.. Roose-
velt is expected to withhold his own
observations with reference to the
controversy until after he has re-
ceived these statements.
Senator Norris. Independent. of
Nebraska. father of the T. w. A.. said
he thought Morgans refusal to
answer Mr.. Roosevelt's questions
would justify concurrent congress
sional resolution, requiring q majority
of both Houses Of Congress, to oust
the chairman.
The Nebraskan added, however,
that there undoubtedly would be
strong opposition to any such reso-
luton until after a thorough in
vestigation Of the r. v. A. were
made.

BROADER POWERS
FOR SCHOOL BOARD
URGED IN REPORT
Presidents Advisory Group
Recommends Lump Sum
Appropriation.
RIDERS, DETERMINING
POLICY, ARE CRITICIZED
Comprehensive Code of General
Legislation Should Be Enacted,
Is Opinion.
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
President appointed a committee
OF "a educators September 19, 1886,
to study Federal aid to vocational
educdt1on in connection NTH pre-
railing economic and social condi-
t'ons. The tollouing April he re-
quested the committee to ertend
the study to Federal State rela-
ttonships in the entire field of edu-
cation ard to make q report.
Public school appropriations would
be made in lump sum and detailed
administration left to the Board of
Education and school officials under
recommendations transmitted to Con-
gress by the Presidents Advisory Com
mittee on Education.
In a report made public today the
committee sharply criticized the prac-
tice of inserting legislative riders de-
termining school policy in appropria-
ton bills and pointed out the limited
power of the Board of Education in
appropriation matters caused by the
absence of complete control of its bud
get and the practice of appropriating
by items.
The committee also urges that a
comprehensive code of basic general
legislation should be enacted for the
District public school system.
The Presidents Advisory Committee
on Education was appointed in Sep
tember, 1886, to study the experience
under the existing program of Federal
aid for vocational education. The re-
port was transmitted to Congress by
the President under date of Febru-
ary %.
More Power Urged.
Among the recommendations for the
District is one that the Board of Edu-
cation should be vested by the pro-
posed code with the corporate powers
commonly exercised by municipal
school boards IN order that it may
have adequate authority to maintain
and operate a complete and unified
public school system, including pur-
chase. construction and repair Of all
public school facilities. The board
should be required, as at present, to
exercise ali administrative powers
through a single executive responsible
to it.
1t is recommended that the school
code should be kept current with
changing needs by appropriate amen
datory legislation. but detailed legis-
lation encroaching upon administra-
ton should be avoided.
Simpler System Urged.
The budgetary procedure for the
District school system should be SIM
plified, the report recommends. Re-
gardless of possible changes in the
budgetary procedure, Congress should
reduce greatly the number of items
under which appropriations for the
schools are made by consolidating all
appropriations for schools into small
number of major funds.
Inclusion of the District of Colum-
bia, as far as feasible, is advised by the
Presidents commission in all educa-
tional grants on the same basis as
State. The District should not be in
cluded, the report says. in the pro-
posed grants for the extension of lib
rary service in rural areas, but should
be included in all the other new grants
proposed.
The chairman of the Presidents
Advisory Committee on Education is
Floyd W. Reeves, who submitted the
report.
