Dr.. Smith Informed
OF Charges Behind
Her Dismissal
Ousted Troinine School
Head to Reply at
Tuesday Hearing

DR.. Carrie Weaver Smith said last
night that she had been informed
that her dismissal as superintendent
Of the National Training School for
Girls grew out Of charges of lack of
discipline at the school, immortality
among the inmates and other irreg-
ularities.
In . statement to The Star, DR..
Smith said that she had just learned
from the District Commissioners
the reason for her dismissal q year
and q half ago. At her request, q
public hearing on the charges will
be held ut 10 am. Tuesday.
DR.. Smiths statement said:
I have no desire to have my case
tried IN advance before the public.
I also do not wish to hide anything
from the public; least of all do I
wish to be responsible for prolons-
ing the undue-and think unethi-
cal-secrecy in which the charges
against me have been shrouded 50
long by the Board of Public Welfare
May Protect Others.
THE position I formerly held was
one OF public trust-and the public
as well as myself had a right to
know the reasons for my summary
dismissal. I am glad that this
right has at last been recognized
through the persistent effort Of my
self and my friends. The hearing
which has been granted me is dou-
bly, welcome. 1t offers the first op-
portunity for my vindication and
1t may serve to protect others in
positions Of public trust from sud-
den dismissal, with no opportunity
to defend themselves and no know
ledge of the reasons alleged for
their dismissal.
Il am herewith stating sum-
mary Of the charges which have
been submitted to me by the Com
missioners-and which I shall an
swer on Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock.
Il. The police Of the seventh pre-
cinct will be called to describe con-
ditions which indicated a lack Of
control over the inmates-mani-
tested by riots and fighting.
%. Staff members will describe
the lack OF discipline in the school
and the refusal of the inmates to
obey the teachers and matrons.
Medical Charges.
IS. The medical oficer will testify
in connection with the refusal of
the superintendent to require the
girls to report regularly for venereal
disease treatments-andh her refusal
to take any action to abate the i'm
morality known to exist in the
school.
4. The parole officers will testify
that girls were paroled without the
sanction of the Board of Public We'll
fare and the medical oficer.
IS. General mismanagement, waste
and extravaganza are also alleged.
rs there any reason why these
charges should have been withheld
for a year and a half?"

War Referendum Plan
Seems impractical,
borah Asserts
Opponents Of Proposal
Heortened by Stond
Of Idoho Senator
BY the Associated Press.

Senator Borah, Republican, Of
Idaho said yesterday that testimony
Of proponents had failed to disclose
to him any practical way in which
a war referendum amendment to
the Constitution could be made en-
tirely workable.
Senator Borah is on record as
favoring the principle Of submitting
to the people the question Of fight-
ing all wars that are not purely
defensive. But he suggested that If
1t is to be practical, some method
must be found to define foreign
wars.
The Idaho Senator has stressed
this in questioning witnesses ap-
pearing before a Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee in support of a pro-
posal, introduced by II Senators, to
amend the Constitution to take
from Congress and give to the people
themselves the power to declare war,
except when an attack Is threatened
or made on the United States, its
possessions or the Western Hemi-
sphere.
Strategical Hindrance Seen.
Suppose" Senator Borah said,
that we are in a controversy with
some foreign power and 1t Is ap-
preaching the point of war. II we
are to wage q successful war, we
must anticipate what they are going
to do and as a consequence we
must move to attack them as a
measure of defending ourselves.
Our commander in chief says
that we can't wait until they make
it domestic war. That would be
foreign war and the amendment
would be operative, wouldn't it?"
He said that in an instance of this
kind, he feared the delay occasioned
by submitting the war question to
the people for a vote might be q
factor giving a potential enemy a de-
cided advantage.
If we could find a practical way
by which those who would have to
die could say whether or not they
should 60 abroad to fight, that
would be what I would want, but I
can't see how there is a practical
means Of doing it," Senator Borah
said
Opponents Heartened.
The expression from the Senator,
ranking Republican member of the
Foreign Relations Committee who
consistently has adopted strongly
'isolationist" views on matters of
foreign policy, heartened opponents
OF the proposal.
The referendum amendment was
opposed by both President Roosevelt
and Secretary of State Hull when
brought up in the last session, but
has drawn strong support in both
House and Senate. 1t was narrowly
defeated in the House last year.
Along with questioning whether
there was any way to make the pro-
posal workable, Senator Borah said
that, should the United States adopt
it, it would be the first in the world
to do so, and that he doubted other
nations would follow this course.

been merely because he feared that
his pose of avuncular anonymity was
going to end precipitately, and he did
MT want to lose Linda's friendship.
He had become deeply fond of his
new friend.
In his introduction, however, new
friend Linda became old-friend Linda
practically spontaneously.
Merry" he faltered, II I
should like you to know may I
present my old friend, Linda Morton?
Linda, this is Miss Blaine, Merry
Blaine-old friend of her fathers.
"How DO you do, Miss Morton"
Merry's glance of appraisal showed
she thought Linda was doing very
we'll, indeed.
The wide blue eyes, under perfect
ly arcled brows, were Bill Blaine's
eyes-only harder, more calculating.
So this was Bill Blaine's sister,
thought Linda. Well, wasn't THAT
nice? Merry, this is Linda, the girl

dear old scamp? No good, I dare say"
"He-he's doing as well as can be
expected" responded the man in
gray, now recovering nicely, sure that
Merry wouldn't give him away. "You
should see him more often"
IT will" Merry smiled broadly.
"From now on I'll see him very Of
ten. I'll practically shadow him."
It was all over Linda's head. But,
then, the head of this tired Linda
wasn't being held very high right
now.
"Must DASH" Merry said. "Cock-
failing. Nice to know you, Miss Mar

Linda wasn't too tired, though, to
notice how casual had been Merry's
misstatement Of her name, on pur-
pose.

STORY so FAR

Drawn together as they aid acct
dent victim atop Titan Tower, new
slyscraper, Nurse Linda Morton and
DR.. Bill Blaine sense mutual affec-
tion. With memories Of her love Tor
Late Airman Mike Morton still warm,
however, Linda feels very mixed emo
tions as she day-dreams Of possible
romance with the debOnair young
medic. After her narrowing roof-top
experience, Linda returns home, I'M
nerved. Her. mind goes back to that
tragic night when Mike was killed IN
a crash. After his death, no word OF
sympathy came for Linda from Mixes
wealthy parents who disapproved OF
her marriage. So, when Mickey was
born, she did not let them know. Lin
da's reverie is interrupted by the ar
rival of her friends, naive Janice Mar
berry. and. sophisticated. Josephine
Monroe. Speaking Of the accident,
Linda asks if they know DR.. Blaine.
She learns from 10 he is in the Social
Register and his father owns Titan
Tower. The matchmaking 10 detects
that Linda Is more than professionally
interested in Bill and urges her to
'splay single. Men like Bill Blaine are
interested in GIRLS, not mothers" ,.
Linda says she will never deny Mickey
but, later that night, she is torn be-
tween love for her son and young
woman's yearning for romance. Next
day at lunchtime, Linda goes up to the
roof garden hoping to meet Bill. He
is not there but pleasant-faced Steve
Hubbard is. Steve is wearing white
smock so Linda asks if he is a doctor.
'You might say Pm sort of special
list. I have the biggest practice in
Titan Tower and the biggest patients
variety of complaints from bad
pumps to leaking valves" Next day,
Linda meets Bill on the roof by ap-
pointment.

Linda felt considerably freshened
from her brief rest, that the flowers
began arriving. First came small,
square white box, satin ribbon-tied.
In it lay single bachelors button,
crushed to look as though it had been
retrieved from under the wheel of
a truck. Linda didn't appreciate it's
symbolism right off. That came later,
when the other flowers did.
There was no card with the wreck
ed bachelors button. The florists
delivery boy couldn't say who had
sent it.
Forget-me-nots came next, at 2
o'clock. A small, dainty bunch of
them, nothing else. No ferns or other
spinach. And the card read simply:
Remember"
At 8 o'clock, the little old-fashioned
nosegay, all bright and fragrant and
dressed in lace dolly, arrived. Linda
began to time the hours by the deliv-
cry boy. The card this time read:
"From day-before-yesterday, for the
lady Of tonight"
At o'clock, when up came roses
two dozen American beauties
Linda wasn't surprised. It had gone
too far for that. But to say that she
was confused would be understate-
ment. This card read, more POLITICALLY
than dramatically:

Bill.
While Linda and Mr.. Avon were
enacting their own little lunch hour
drama, another denizen of Titan Tow
er was acting his small dramas
lone. He was Steve Hubbard Of the
basement garage.
Hat off in the sun, Steve was gaz-

The show window and its contents

There were protractors and slid

and T-squares and gadgets. They
were mechanical drawing instruments
the tools of the architects trade.
And there in the middle of minor in
cidentals, was THE instrument. New,
in it's pristine mechanical splendor, it
was an old friend to Steve.
It was a large device land intri-
cate and very costly. Steve stood
there fully fifteen minutes, as child
stares at cherished and too-wonder-
ful-to-hope-for toy. He seemed to be
trying to memorize every detail as
though he wanted to remember it the
way it was, in case anything should
hapen.
Then he withdrew from his pocket a
small black handbook and opened its
pages.
"Next week." he said to himself.
"well have enough. Cash. It's been
a long wait, chum.
"On the other hand" he argued,
"what do I want with you? Euclid
got along all right without you. They
didn't need you to build the pyramids
or the Acropolis or Notre Dame"

tion-and you've got competition
capitalized.
"See here, Steve" he continued,
you're alive, aren't you? Why not
act like it-and get some fun out Of
life while you CAM"
There was no way for Steve te
know that Linda had spoken practic'
ally the same words. Or that she was
thinking of Bill Blaine, while Steve
was thinking of Linda.

It was shortly after lunch, wher
