School Commission is hoping against

biggest headache from which school
people are suffering, the problem of
closing the yawning gap between
salaries paid white teachers and
Negroes holding the same certificates.
It's a problem which has been

nothing to be gained by broadcasting
material which night be seized upon
by radicals to ntlame the Negro
teachers to the point OF demanding
immediate and drastic revision OF
salary schedules.
So lar the leadership of the Negro
teachers has shown a marked spirit

sort of cooperation will continue as
long as TINS leadership is convinced
that the School Commission is MAX

been pretty obvious and there seems
no reason to believe that there will
be any change Of attitude either on
the part of the commission or OF the
Negro teachers.
Ine immediate problem of the com

Dougherty, chairman of the salary
committee, is to make at least a
noticeable and substantial gesture to-

Appropriation

Washington, June 12-(AP)-
The House Appropriations Commit
tee asked Congress today to add
1922 1854 to next years $508, 1885,
824 War Department appropriation
bill to build more army planes, OK
pand the Panama Canal garrison
and provide ''educatiOnal orders" for
purchase of war materials. 1t acted
after a subcommittee heard from
Major General Henry Arnold, chief
Of the army air corps, that his corps
current expansion would provide
adequate aerial defense for the
United States despite superiority Of
some German war planes
The committee sent to the House
for consideration, probably next
week, a measure appropriating $14,-
100000 for the educational or sam
pie orders, $27 100000 for Panama,
and $251 ,445, SAT for 2,29O new
planes and new housing facilities.
The text of Colonel Charles A
Lindbergh's testimony, also made
public, shows that he believes
the United States ranks ''far from
the top in military aviation"
"a few years ago, we led the
world in both military and COM
mercial aviation, but during the
past five years the lead in military
aviation, has been taken away from
u.s." Lindbergh said. "In CONNER
cial aviation, I feel that we still
hold leading position, and our
lead in that will depend on wheth-
er or not we concentrate on COM
mercial aviation in the future as we
have in the past.
Stated briefly, it is true that
Europe leads us by a large margin
in military aviation, while we lead
by a large margin in commercial
aviation.

10 Critical Years
Seen by Reynolds
For United States
Senator Addresses
T Educational
Forum Audience

The United States in 10 years is
going through the most critical pc
riod in its history, due to the un-
employed situation, competition in
commerce and other factors, Senator
Robert R. Reynolds of North Caro-
lima predicted last night.
Speaking in the second of a series
of educational forum lectures under
auspices of the Central Young Mems
Christian Association in the "Y"
Building, 1876 G street NV, Sena-
tor Reynolds discussed European and
world problems. The speaker who
returned last month from an extern
sive trip to Europe, spoke on the
subject, Europe as I Found It," and
from the developments there and in
this country drew conclusions this
country must 60 through its critical
period.
Fears Loss of Trade.
Senator Reynolds referred espe-
cially to the progress made by Ger
many in South American trade and
the dangers of the United States
losing much of its world trade
through not being able to compete
with other nations, due to the high
wages and high standard of living
set in this Nation.
'The Lima Conference, I am sorry
to say, didn't accomplish as much
as we hoped it would" Senator
Reynolds said.
Finds Germans Sympathetic.
In making further general COM
ments on his observations in Europe,
Senator Reynolds said the Germans,
generally, feel very kindly toward
the United States. In talking to a
number of persons in England, he
said, he found them about equally
divided in their approval and dis
approval of the Munich agreement
and of Prime Minister Chamberlain.
After his address Senator Rey-
nolds answered questions pro-
pounded by panel of four members
and by the audience. The panel
members were Arthur S. Fleming,
director of public affairs, American
University, chairman; Lothrop Stod-
dard writer and lecturer on world
affairs; E. B. Brossard, United
States Tariff Commission, and DR..

And What
They Do
Princess HohenIohe
Registration as q
Propogondist Urged
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Anti-Nazi groups are in action
against Princess Stephanie Hohen-
lohe, beautiful, Zed-haired, pallid,
slant-eyed German Nine. de Stael,
who, they assert, is an tntriguer and
propaganda for Adolf Hitler. She
sails for New York today on the
Normandie and her challengers are
laying down barrage of kilograms
to Ellis Island and Washington, de-
manding that she be required to
register as a foreign propagandist,
under a recent act Of Congress.
She has long enjoyed something
like regal standing in German So
cietY and has been a stanch sup
porter of the Nazi regime. She
has been frequent visitor to New
York, the guest of families of social
eminence, frequently confused with
the Prince and Princess of Hohen-
ohe-Schillingfuerst, who deny any
relationship. In 1888 American
newspapers printed report that
she had been arrested as an inter
national spy in France, but this had
no later confirmation or additional
| details.
In current European correspond
ence she has been designated as
"Europe's No. i secret diplomat"
described as clever and ingratiating
and the spearhead of the Nazi pene-
tration in the upper social levels Of
various countries. She maintains
luxurious apartment in London, with
a huge picture of Adolf Hitler DOM
mating her salon, frequented by
members of the British aristocracy
Her son Is student at Oxford
University.
The above news reports designat"
her as the instiZator of Viscount
Runicmans visit to Czecho- -Slovakia.
During the negotiations which pref
aced the surrender Of sudetenland.
the Viscount was her guest at the
castle Of her cousin, Prince Max OF
neutrality-suspicious., and there
she introduced him to Konrad Hen
lein, the Czech Hitler, according to
these news accounts. Her contact
with Chancellor Hitler is said to be
through her friend, Capt Fritz
Wiedemann. the chancellor's aide
de camp. who, in London and Ber-
lin, carried through important de-
tails of the Czech deal. The follow
ing is from a foreign dispatch print
ed in New York newspaper Janu-
airy %:
'"The Princess is undoubtedly
star performer among a number Of
feminine members of the former
German aristocracy who have been
enlisted in various missions-many
of a secret nature-by Chancellor
Hitler. They have become political
informers, propaganda hostesses, So
cial charmers and mystery women.
Only a few are qualified for this
kind Of work. which demands COM
blnation of intimacy with the ways
and habits of cosmopolitan society,
extensive personal co INJECTIONS,
command of foreign languages and,
above all, the ability to extract in
formation and remove suspicious"
She was Stephanie Richter. mar
ried in 1914 to the Hungarian Prince
Francois Hohenlohe Waldenburg,
and divorced six years later.
