Industrial Home
School Shift
Being Studied
Commissioners Heur
Suggestion Of Move
To Blue Plains

Study of possibilities of the re-
location of the Industrial Home
School for White Children and the
sale of its present site, at 2453 Wis
consin avenue NV, was begun to-
day by officials of the Board of
Public Welfare at the request of
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen.
One move, suggested to the Com
missioners by some welfare leaders,
would involve the transfer of the
activities of this institution to Blue
Plains. where the Industrial Home
School for Colored Children now is
located. and the shifting of that
institution to the large District
owned tract at Muirkirk. Md.

Commissioner Hazen also has re-
quested Paul L. Kirby, acting di-
rector of public welt. re, to submit q
report on future plans for the Ma
tional Training School for Girls,
the Conduit road institution for
delinquent and neglected girls.
officials said they would consider
plans for future operation of the
! three institutions in connection with
the approaching action by the city
heads on the 194l fiscal year budget
requests of the Board of Public We'll
fare if the data could be assembled
in time.
Economies Seen Possible.
Possibilities of better housing and
greater economies in operation, in
connection with a reshuffling Of the
two industrial schools, have been
suggested for several years in well
fare circles, but so far no positive
action has been taken.
Among arguments is that the
white industrial home is crowded
and is housed on valuable land which
could be sold at good price. The
home for the colored industrial
industrial school also is reported
crowded and one suggestion is that
these wards of the District would be
in a better situation If placed on a
large rural tract where there would
be greater opportunities for farming
and other outdoor work, such as
would be available at Muirkirk The
Maryland tract once was used as a
home for white girls of the National
Training School for Girls, but re-
Gently has been used as G. G. c.

OF Plot 10 Influence
u. 5. Jury Witness
Dissolution of Vast
Racing News Empire
Recommended
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-M. L. An
nenberg, millionaire publisher, today
was accused of conspiracy by a Fed
eral grand jury which also recon-
mended the dissolution of his vast
racing news empire because 1t de
pended almost entirely on illegal
gambling"
The special Federal grand jury. in
session 81 days in it's inquiry into
alleged violation of monopoly and
racketeering laws, returned a pre-
sentiment along with its indictment
of Mr.. Annenberg and three others
on charges of conspiracy to inf1u-
ence a witness before the jury.
James v. Hayes, Special Assistant
Attorney General who handled the
case. said the witness, Clarence j.
Ferguson, Philadelphia city detec-
tective who for 20 years was on the
vice and gambling squad there, was
innocent of any wrongdoing and
Immediately informed the Govern
ment of the alleged conspiracy.
Four Overt Acts Charged.
Indicted with Mr.. Annenberg were
Louis Simon. personal friend of
Mr.. Annenberg. formerly of Mil
waukee and now living in Philadel-
phia: Patrick j. Burns, Chicago, an
associate of James Ragen, general
manager of Mr.. Annenberg's Nation
q ry-f it,f<
ton agency; Dominick B. Lynch,
also known as Jack Lynch, described
as Philadelphia night club pro-
prietor.
They were charged by Mr.. Fergu-
son with conspiracy to suborn per-
jury and ito influence the due ad-
ministration of justice by attempting
to persuade Mr. Ferguson to give
false testimony"
The indictment alleged four overt
acts, one specifically the payment of
500 to Mr. Ferguson in Chicago.
Today's action by the grand jury
was entirely separate from that of
another Federal grand jury which
on August II accused Mr.. Amen
berg of the largest personal income
tax evasion on record-more than
$500 900, including penalties-and
yesterday accused him and seven
others of conspiracy to violate the
income tax law in the operation of
one of his companies.
The jury reported to Federal
Judge William H. Holly along with
its indictment a presentment stat
ing that Nation wide News Service,
Mr.. Annenberg's turf wire network,
its subsidiaries; James M. Ragen,
ST., NATIONWIDE manager, and the
Cecilia Co., Mr.. Annenberg's top
holding corporation, depend almost
entirely upon illegal gambling, of
track bookmaking"
History Traced Briefly.
Tracing briefly the history of the
alleged monopoly, the presentment
added that off-track bookmaking
depends entirely on the wire serv-
ices.
In the opinion of the jury" Mr.
Hayes said, trade and commerce
as used in the Sherman Act were
not intended to cover illegal indus
tries or one that aids and abets IL
legal activities"
