 Brother Hanford told of the his tory and growth Of Wrangell with special attention being given it's council, light department, and fire department.

 On next Wednesday Brother Krone will speak on the subject of just religion.
 The committee on the revision oI bylaws. appointed by Exalted Rul- CT Winston, would appreciate it il the brothers would take down their copies, dust them off. and see what is inside. As the newly-married man said, there's nothing like a good argument"

German air bombers attacked "nu-

Thomas Circle
Underposs Will
Open March ID

The Thomas Circle underpass will
be opened to the public at 10 am. on
March IA, it was learned today
from Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, direc-
tor of highways, who has been SUI
pervising the s530.00O project.
The District Commissioners will
be invited to witness the first flow
of traffic through the underpass
There will be no formal ceremony,
Capt. Whitehurst said.
The underpass has been one of
the most unusual projects for shift
ing traffic in the history of the
District. Despite the complex job
of digging the tunnel, resurfacing
the street above, and relocating the
street car lines around the circle,
the work has been accomplished
without blocking either vehicular or
street car traffic.
The hour of 10 am. was selected
for opening the underpass because
it will be after the peak morning
traffic rush and will allow the COM
paratively light flow of traffic at
that time to start moving through
the new lines without difficulty
officials said.
A large circular trench has been
dug around the statue in the center
of the circle, District officials said
for the purpose of "waterproofing'
the base of the statue. This job
was described as part of the original
contract and is one of the fina!
stages of finishing the circle project

Studebaker Fayors
Controversial Topics
Discussed in Schools
Education Head
Debates Issue With
Western Educator
BY the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, March 1.-Should
controversial subjects be discussed
In the schools?
No, said G. Harold Caulheld,
president Of San Franciscos Board
of Education. Yes, said United
States Commissioner Of Education
John w. Studebaker, in debating the
subject last night Con the Town
Meeting Of the Air radio program)
at the concluding session of the
convention of the American Associa-
ton of School Administrators.
Favors Developing Habits First.
Mr.. Caulfield declared he would
prepare children for controversial
discussions later in life by develop
ing their habits of Thought and rea-
soning and by giving them basic
knowledge Of the principles behind
economic, political and social
problems.
Shall we throw our children into
the maelstrom of controversial life
before teaching them the bare es-
sentials and before they can dis
tinguish between fact and propa-
ganda?" he asked.
Mr.. Studebaker asserted he ac-
cepted "the maxim in education that
we learn a skill or habit or develop
an ability by practicing it."
"The most practical and workable
means of teaching youth to discuss
controversial issues" he said, "is to
give them well-guided practice in
the discussion of the controversies
most interesting to them and most
appropriate to their respective age
levels"
Warns of Propaganda.
Mr.. Studebaker asserted a teach
er who handled questions of in
depreciation and controversial SUBJ
jects as If there were but one opin-
ion is "a propagandist, an authori-
tartan" and lis engaged in the proc
ess of indoctrination, Of debating
conclusions.
That is a good way to stif1e in
itiative and imagination" the char
acteristics which have made Amer
lea great" he added.
Mr.. Caulfleld declared, however
'"The root of the American system
would be attacked by involving
youngsters in the welter of problems
of present-day social and political
life, and said bringing controversy
into the school would bring with
it propaganda.
Mr.. Studebaker replied propagana
in the schools could best" be an
swered by helping pupils to COM
pare the propaganda" and by en-
couraging critical thinking on the
part of students"

Tucker has said" she declared.
Clinton N. Howard of the Inter-
national Reform Federation told
Senator Reynolds he thought Police
Supt. Ernest w. Brown would be
the most competent witness on the
| proposal.
The question of morality caused
several interchanges among wit
nesses. Miss Taggart asked Mr.
Ford if he believed in legislating
morality. and William C. Murphy
representing the Central Labor
Union, asked if it was not a per-
sonal matter with the individual
whether he went to the race track
or not.

adding:
II think racing is bad for me
bad for anybody-and I don't think
my stupidity should be forced on the
residents of the District"
Explaining that a man who loses
on a certain horse Thursday wants
to 60 back to the track and try to
win on him Saturday, Mr.. Allen said,
IF I thought there was any way Of
beating the races I might change
my mind about the bill"
"You enjoy the races and intend
to continue going?" Senator Rey-
nolds queried. What about other
people who might like to go?"
"No, you're wrong there" the Com
missioner interrupted. 1--WE sworn

When Senators Reynolds and

Federal Price-Fixinq
As Aid 10 Farmers
Broached al Hearing
Chuirmun Jones
Believes Plan Would
Be Constitutional
- the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
Chairman Jones Of the House
Agriculture Committee gingerly
raised the idea at a hearing today
that form of governmental price,
fixing to aid farmers might be bet
ter than any other form of Federal
assistance.
I'm not advocating it," he said
during committee discussion of Sec
retary Wallace's certificate plan for
self-flnancing benefit payments.
I'm just talking. But we are going
into consideration of plan that in
a sense carries this phase. We might
as we'll lay our cards on the table
and discuss the whole thing"
Representative Jones prefaced his
remarks by saying that in view of
recent Supreme Court decisions that
I'VE can regulate commerce even to
the point of prohibition" a price,
fixing plan might be considered con-
stitutional.
so might it not be simpler to
forbid more than a certain amount
OF any OF these major commodities
going into commerce at al?" he
asked.
Cites Cotton Example.
He cited this example for cotton:
Compel manufacturers either to buy
the staple from farmers at, say,
1914 cents pound or from the Gov
ernment at Is cents.
What difference is there between
your proposition and price-fixing?"
Representative Cooley, Democrat, of
North Carolina asked.
We'll, it's about the same thing"
Mr.. Jones replied. 1T is in effect
price-flxing. But why isn't the Ger
tificate plan price-fixing?"
The present farm program, he
said, has done some mighty fine
things and unless we get something
better I'm not in favor of chasing
rainbows.'
r. M. Evans, A. A. A. adminis-
traitor, who was called to explain
the certificate plan, said the idea
Mr.. Jones advanced might lead to
form of regimentation which the
people would oppose.
Meanwhile, it was reported that
an increase of 5000, 900, 900 or more
in farm appropriations has received
tentative approval of Senate Ap-
preparations Subcommittee
Three Senators, who asked that
their names not be used, said the
committee favored a $72,678,812 item
for disposal of surplus commodities,
and between $125 100000 and $225.-
100000 for parity payments. No
funds for these purposes were in
cluded in the House-approved bill
which totaled $713 1896 ,084.
An increase of 100000 900 in the
farm bill would wipe out two thirds
of the reductions Congress has ef-
fected in appropriations measures,
as they stand now.
