Knee-Hi Gains 500
Recruits in Drive
For Traffic Safety
Congress Heights School
Demonstration Wins
Applause

Knee-Hi, the safety conscious
little canine, gained more than 500
new recruits yesterday in her cam
paign against accidents as she dem
onstrated safety dos" and "donts"
before the children of the Congress
Heights School, Raleigh place and
Nichols avenue Sc.
Her audience enthusiastically
cheered the fox terrier as she went
through her regular routine Of trot-
ting across the street on the proper
signal and not against trafnc, even
If coaxed by her teacher, DR.. George
E. Brunson: barking at boys play
ing football in the middle Of the
street; vociferously discouraging any
double riding on bicycles and chas-
ing away children hitching rides on
the back of a truck.
In fact, Knee-Hi even nipped one
boy on the seat of his trousers when
she registered protest against hitch
ing rides.
When 11-year -old Leonard Rausch
crossed the street in front of on
coming traffic and fell, Knee-Hi
Jumped on his back. Leonard made
amends, however, by getting up and
crossing at the intersection while
traffic was stopped.
BE careful if you want to be safe, !"
doomed Announcer Jack Dalton over
the loudspeaker system, and to show
the children what happens to those
who aren't careful, the wire-haired
terrier lay in the middle Of the
street after pretending to be struck
by an automobile while playing in
the middle Of the street.
She also illustrated the proper
way of getting of a bus-going
straight to the nearest curb instead
OF going around the front Of the
vehicle after leaving it,
The outside demonstration was
followed by a performance in the
school auditorium, where Knee-Hi
showed the Importance of obedience
in safety.
Knee-Hi is sponsored by The Star,
with the cooperation of the Board
of Education, the Police Department
and the Department Of Vehicles and

button and price of milk. The
commission, under his plan, would
be composed Of representatives of
producers, consumers and distribu-
tors.
Mr.. Shafer, after introducing his
bill, issued the following statement,
to explain its purpose in detail:
"Q 1t directs the Secretary OF
Agriculture. with his intimate Ma
tion-wide information and admin
istrative agencies. to lay down and
recommend to the Commissioners
Of the District of Columbia rules
and regulations which protect the
producing farmer, not only as to
the price he receives but as to the
many abuses, if not gypings and
dishonesties, connected with his
complete dependence on the big dis
tributors.
"(2) In collaboration with the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice, it establishes health and sani-
tary regulations according to the
standards now provided by the
United States Health Service.
"(3) In cooperation with farm
ers and farm organizations, the
Secretary declares prices the farm
er should receive and. having made
these findings, the Secretary re-
ports them to the proper authority
for action, which is the Commis-
sioners of the District of Columbia.
80 Producers, distributors and
the public are protected by public
hearings on proposed rules and
regulations. They are then made
effective by the Commissioners for
. six months period.
"(5) Control is maintained by IL
censes similar to those now issued
to producers and distributors di-
rected not only to the observance
of health conditions but as to all
other conditions of an economic sort
as related to both the producer and
consumer.
"(6) Provision is made for differ
ent kinds of distribution at a price
determined, first, by the price paid
the farmer; second, by a reasonable
charge for processing and pasteuri-
cation, and, third, by free COMPETE
tion in the agencies of distribution,
whether by wagon, through stores
or by relief and public agencies. In
effect, the bill shifts the control of
the farmer on the one hand and the
consumer on the other from COM
bination of big distributors, a limited
number of privileged farmers and
truck drivers to responsible authori-
ties. possessed of public confidence
and interested only in the protec-
ton of all classes affected in the
dairy industry. 1t is not shift
from the competitive system to Gov
eminent regulation; it is shift from
one of the most complete and most
highly organized financial combina-
tions in the country to three Gov
ernment agencies subject to public
criticism and free from any pri-
vate interest in the subject matter.
mo additional expense is involved.
No new officials are created and no
new bureaucracy is established. The
bill merely uses existing agencies to
perform the functions for which
they are now created"

into his neck.
Mr.. Weglein said he would not
make public the result of the in
quiry, which he emphasized was not
a hearing" However, Murray Nc
Nabb, attorney for three of the
youths, said he would have a state
ment after the meeting. Mr.. Veg
lein said he would report results
direct to the School Board.
Mr.. McNabb told reporters he
had been excluded from the hear
ing. He said the students were seq
regated and were being called, one
by one, before Mr.. Weglein He
complained to Forrest Bramble,
president of the school board, and
said Mr.. Bramble told MIN that
was the proper way to conduct the
inquiry.
Mr.. McNabb said he would 1e-
fuse to permit his clients to go be-
fore Mr.. Weglein unless he was al
lowed to accompany them. Com
planning about what he called star

said that "even a criminal is en-
titled to a pubic hearing"
Mayor Howard w. jackson said
he was mot in sympathy" with
the method of conducting the in
quiry, but that he did not want
to tell school authorities how to
handle the case. Mayor Jackson

announcement by Representative
Martin J. Dies his House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities would
make routine investigation"
Attorneys for several of the
Gwynn's Falls Junior High School
students indicated testimony would
be similar to that of carroll Phillips,
one Of those suspended. Phillips
said he helped paint a swastika on

the branding. His attorney asserted
the entire matter was the result of
a student prank About half the
students at Gwynn's Falls are of
German origin.

report of what appears to have been
an incipient racial disturbance

this State in particular, there is no
place for racial animosities, and out
breaks, even though they appear
trivial, will not be countenanced."

The letter, dated last March and
addressed to Justice Roberts, said
the umpire had no longer an open
mind"
1T has become clear to me during
these days." DR.. Huecking wrote,
that any argument advanced by the
claimants at once attracts your At
tention and evokes the idea, How
could it be collaborated?
And any argument advanced in
favor Of the defendants at once in
vokes in you the idea, How can it be
refuted? ."
THE result to which l have come
is that it is impossible for me to CO.
operate in a procedure which no
longer offers to both parties equally
the usual guarantees Of a decision
arrived at in a really judicial way"
Replying March 2, Justice Roberts
said:
Il do not propose to enter into
any controversy with respect to the
statements contained in your letter
other than to say that they are un-
justified and, in my opinion, present
a wholly false picture Of our delib-
erations with respect to the motion
pending before the commission"

Secretary of State Hull June 10 that

Fl T.. Calls Hearinq
On Rule Protested

Declares international
Broadcast Regulations
Misunderstood

The Federal Communications
Commission today ordered a public
hearing to be held on July IL on its
rule requiring international broad
cast stations to transmit only pro-
grams which promote international
good will and reflect the culture of
this country.
The commission said 1t was of the
opinion an open hearing to discuss
the merit of the new regulations is
desirable, particularly in view of
the fact that the application Of the
rules has been misunderstood in
some quarters"
The F. c. c. granted the hearing
on petition of the American Civil
Liberties Union, which asked with
drawal of the rule or its amend
ment. The commission ignored a
letter from the National Association
of Broadcasters which alleged that
the new rule, in effect, was a form
Of censorship.
The commission requested all par
ties interested in participating in the
hearing to notify the commission by
July 5. The new rules, which be-
come effective May %, will remain in
effect for the present.
Meanwhile the radio industry has
started studying proposal new
code of minimum standards for
broadcasting.
Neville Miller, president of the
National Association of Broadcast
ers, submitted 1t to N. A. B. men,
bers in advance of the orgao;za-
tion's convention in Atlantic City
next month.
The proposed code provides,
among other things:
That radio may not be used to
convey attacks on race Ur religion
That member stations shall hold
facilities ready, consistent with
proper program balancing, for dis
cussion of public questions.
That stations shall extend fair
and equal treatment to opposing
candidates for the same Office.
That broadcasters will make every
effort to distinguish between clear
and concealed attempts to influence
public opinion.

one needs only to scrutinize news
dispatches narrating Germany's re-
action to last weeks historic demon
strations in Washington and New
York. The Nazis are visibly dis
pleased over them. The abuse and
vltuperation which find expression in
DR.. Goebbel's controlled press are, of
course, give-away signs that the
Hitlerites deplore and resent the
Tightening OF the democratic bond,
which Is one Of the unofficial, but no
less tangible, results OF the British
sovereign's brief presence on United
States soil.
The last thing in the world which
the Reich wants at this time is a
drawing together of the English
speaking commonwealths. While the
German foreign office is fully aware
that the royal visit did not produce,
and was never designed to produce,
anything resembling an Anglo
American alliance, in the political or
military sense, the Wilhelmstrasse is
| not blind to the fact that the un-
qualifiedly warm greeting accorded
the King and Queen betokens a
state OF mind on the part of the
American people toward possible
eventualities in Europe which no
statesman of vision or imagination
can fail to comprehend or assess at
its true worth.
The Manchester Guardian pours
cold water on those wishful British
thinkers who assume that the
striking friendliness of the American
crowds means that Congress will be
more ready to turn neutrality legis-
lation in our favor" But other Brit
1sh newspapers are as assuredly
right in feeling that when George
vi laid a wreath on the tomb of
George Washington the conscien-
tious young King went far to OBJ
literate some ancient prejudices in
this country, though the full and
final effect of their removal may not
become apparent until Britain faces
another great crisis affecting her ma

1t is venturing no exaggerated
evaluation Of the service George and
Elizabeth rendered their realm to
say that they leave behind them in
the United States a psychological
attitude toward Great Britain and
her problems that is at least not
quite the same it was before. Vague,
indefinable, undemonstrable as it is,
that is an indubitable gain for the
democratic cause, at moment when

Free Stute Justice

without doubt the case of the
Maryland prisoner whose mistreat-
ment at the hands of Salisbury off,
cials was denounced by a Baltimore
Judge is exceptional. But the public
will rightfully conclude that it indi-
Gates, as the judge said, "the be-
nighted condition of justice" as
practiced in some counties of the
so-called Free State.
In the first place the man was
wrongfully drafted to be cook and
handy man for three months at the
Salisbury Jail when he should have
been serving sentence in the House
of Correction for motor vehicle law
violation. While thus performing
the duties of a "trusty," the unfor-
tunate prisoner was given liquor by
a deputy sheriff who drank with him.
Then the prisoner walked out of jail
with the sheriff's money box, but was
rearrested in Baltimore. He was
charged with five larceny offenses,
because the funds of five prisoners
were in the money box, and SEN
fenced to seven and one-half years
and fined $3.50 by magistrate.
The Baltimore Judge was quick to
point out that only one larceny had
been committed, that the case should
have gone to the grand jury and that
