ment Workers Union, seeking the

troversy, the Eighth Federal Circuit
Court directed the district court to
determine whether the Donnelly

able effort" to obtain a settlement.
Under the legislation, an injunc-
ton against a labor union would be
denied if the company seeking the
restraining order had not made
every reasonable effort" to end the
dispute.
The Donnelly company wants an
injunction against the labor union.

capped Children, told the Washing
ton group that all the crippled
children and some others, handi-
capped in other ways, are provided
transportation in nine buses at an
annual cost of 81 1900 per bus.
The committee members journeyed
from Washington this morning and
after brief meeting with Supt.
David E. Weglein, proceeded to the
Baer School.
The committee members expressed
surprise at the low transportation
cost and several remarked that's
cheap"
Miss Salisbury said that handi-
capped children are provided bus
transportation by the board until
they reach the age when 1t is
thought they can get to and from
school by themselves.
The children, she said, receive
training on how to use street cars
as a part of their school instruction.
For those children living at great
distance from the school, the prin-
cipal added, the bus service is also
provided but policemen often con-
duct these children to points where
they may be picked up by the buses.
Miss Salisbury said the school
provides education from the first
grade through junior high school
for some 800 pupils. The children
are segregated according to their
handicaps in the elementary grades
but all are together in the junior
high school classes. The procedure
has worked out very well, the prin-
cipal stated.
Free school lunches are provided
for the elementary school children
by the Board of Education and
cafeteria service is made available
to the students in the higher grades.
This afternoon the committee
planned to visit the school for COL
ored children. Supt. Weglein said
that the facilities were the same at
both schools.
1t is thought the committee will
use information obtained here in the
preparation of plans for similar
schools in the District. Land pur-
chase items for sites for such schools
were sought vainly in the 1910
budget by school officials.

Delay Trial
Ey thf Associated Press

IS tIt ASSOClAteQ FreSA
HANOVER COURT HOUSE, Va,
Jan. 16.-Dr. William E. Dodd, for
mer United States Ambassador to
Germany, was indicted by a Han
over County grand jury today on a
charge of hit-and-run driving and
causing injury to Glois Grimes, 4.
year-old colored child. His trial was
set for March 2.
Visibly nervous, 69-year-old DR..
Dodd entered a plea of innocence
when the indictment was read at
his formal arraignment He at
tempted to explain his plea. but at
the repeated insistence of his attor-
ney. Leon NJ. Bazile. Or. Dodd took
his seat after the plea.
Please, sir, not another word"
Mr.. Bazile counseled his client.
Take your seat, please. Only say
not guilty."
Mr.. Bazile sought unsuccessfully
to have the trial delayed until the
next term OF court in order that the
victim. Glois Cor Gloria Grimes,
could be in court. However. Com
monwealth's Attorney Edward Simp-
kins, jr.. objected strenuously and
the court set the trial for Thursday,
March 2.
Mr.. Bazile pleaded that DR.. Dodd
was in very poor physical condition
and had been suffering from a severe
attack of laryngitis and was in no
condition to stand trial in the near
future.
But the commonwealth attorney
argued that DR.. Dodd had appeared
in court three times within six weeks
in connection with the case and
there was no medical testimony
brought forward to show that he
was not able to stand trial.
The indictment, one of five re-
turned by the grand jury, in little
more than an hours delibaration
stated that DR.. Dodd did "unlawfully
and feloniously fail to render as
sistance to Glois Grimes" after his
automobile had struck her.
At a question from the court Mr.
Bazile and George E. Haw, attorney
for the Grimes family in projected
civil proceedings, said the child had
a brain injury, and was paralyzed
on one side and it was not known
definitely when she would recover
if ever.

director, on grounds that Mr.. Carr
ordered employment files destroyed

He suspended Mr.. Carr for 80 days

To Dismiss 500 This Week.
The highway department pre-
pared to discharge nearly 500 more

have been fired, including 626 from

ing out that only minor changes

Most of the positions of those
fired were abolished or consolidated,

hopes to cut expenses sufficiently to
save $1,000 900 in his tWo-year term

Mr.. Bricker called on Ohio buSi-
nessmen in his inaugural address to
aid in applying "business'Sprinciples

to overcome a $4,000 900 deficit.
This includes 17,O0O,00 spent as
part of a six-year-old program to
provide a standard public school
education for all children.
The LOB purge" affecting prin-
cipally employees of the former Dem
ocratic administration, precipitated
protests from county Republican
leaders seeking patronage, but Gov.
Bricker and legislative spokesmen
said nothing could be done for them
as economy was a major plank in
the party platform.

assure State purchases at the lowest
