concession. From this building,
riders can use the seawall drive
around West Potomac Park with
out having to cross lane Of auto
mobile traffic. Due to the location
OF the present concession, majority
of the riders now renting bicycles
either cross or mingle with heavy
automobile traffic on the park
roads around the Tidal Basin or on
Seventeenth street.
No Objection to Transfer.
The bicycle concession is handled
by the Welfare and Recreational
Association of Public Buildings and
Parks, under supervision of the Of
flee of National Capital Parks. Of
flcials In charge of the concession
say there is no objection on the
part OF the concessionaires to the
proposed transfer to the Engineer
Building, which is about quarter
OF mile from the present stand.
The new location, it is believed
will be more convenient to many
users of rented bicycles, since it is
much closer than the present stand
to street car and bus lines.
The Engineer Building. long va
cant, can be reconditioned for sl0,-
0G0, it is estimated.
The structure was built about
1913 as a United States Enginee,
ONCE storehouse and was on the
shore end Of the old engineer wharf
at the head Of Washington Channel
1t was abandoned by the Engineer
Office about 10 years ago when new
facilities were made available or
o street S.W., and was transferred
at that time to the Once Of Ma.
tional Capital Parks.

Publishers Discuss
Organization Matters
In Closed Session
Scheduled Report on
Woee-Hour Law to Be
Mailed to Members
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April Is. The
American Newspaper Publishers
Association, in 54th annual conven-
ton, discussed organizational mat
tiers today in a closed session.
A scheduled report Of w. r. Wiley
of the Cincinnati Enquirer on the
wage-hour law was reserved and
will be smailed direct to the men,
bers, Mr.. Wiley said.
An increasingly close association
of radio with newspaper operation
was seen in the report yesterday of
the Radio Committee.
Newspapers now have q proprie-
tary interest in one-third of all
licensed radio stations, said the re-
port. 1t added that while radio as
a medium had become "a powerful
commercial entity, an inevitable
gravitation associates it increasingly,
and In many of its best uses, with
newspaper operation"
The report cited the moderate cost
of the new frequency modulation
system as offering inducement for
the establishment of stations in
smaller communities.
Paul Bellamy, editor of the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, said: But I am
willing to accept them, the gentle
men of the radio, as partners" when
he presented the report of his COM
mittee on cooperation of press, bar
and radio.

Care for Slow Learners,
Educator Tells Teachers

High schools must arrange courses
IN which even the slowest learners
academically may have a chance to
succeed in the type of thing they
can do, DR.. Ben G.. Graham, su-
perintendent of Pittsburgh schools,
yesterday told 1000 teachers at Nc
Kinley High School.
DR.. Graham emphasized the need
for taking care of the "slow learn
ers.'
He was to speak again today at
Armstrong High School to the COL
ored teachers.
DR.. Graham pointed out that
these boys and girls can't get jobs
and must stay in school but can't
on the other hand keep up the pace
of the academically minded STU
dents.
Many of the things which DR..
Graham spoke of as being done in
'Pitspurgh are also being done here,
II Fas learned. A committee under
Miss May Paul Bradshaw, principal
OF Roosevelt High School, is now
working to develop courses for slow
learners.

Elliott Report Held
Smear Attempt
By Fortas
Ickes Books BIisterine
Reply to 6. A. o.
By General Counsel

Secretary of the Interior Ickes to.
day made public blistering reply
from his general counsel, Abe For
tas. to a recent report to Congress
by Acting Controller General r. w.
Elliott criticizing the department in
connection with "inservice" training
schools conducted by Government
executives.
Backing up his counsel, Secretary
Ickes declared at press conference
that Mr.. Elliott not only lacked juris-
diction in the matter but charged
the G. A. o. official with going
"far af1eld" in so-called investiga-
tion by bringing in extraneous mat
ters.
The extraneous matters to which
Mr.. Ickes referred had reference to
an attack on his general counsel, a
Harvard Law School alumnus, which
officials at the department implied
was political attack on the admin
istration. The report was construed
by Mr.. Fortas in five-page reply as
a smear attempt" to discredit him
by claiming he is affiliated with sub.
versive groups.
Changes in Report.
The Elliott report singled out the
appointment of Tucker Dean,
University of Chicago law student,
as an 'intern" with the legal staff
of the Bituminous Coal Division. 1t
also charged that Mr.. Fortas' name
had appeared on the alleged list Of
members of the American League
for Peace and Democracy, published
by the House committee investigat-
ing un-American activities.
Denying this alleged affiliation,
Mr.. Fortas informed the acting con-
trolier general that "this plain mis-
statement of fact" was due "either
to increditably slipshod investiga-
ton, gross negligence or wilful fab
rication."
The departments general counsel
also declared the report on the
Tucker Dean matter contained "un-
true, misleading. impertinent and
libelous statements"
The reply claimed that the G. A.
o. investigator" formerly had been
employed in the Interior Depart
ment and was discharged.
Says Services Were Donated.
Secretary Ickes said today that
the Chicago law student, who is no
longer with the Coal Division, had
rendered very useful services in
the legal staff at no expense what
ever to the Government. Mr. Dean
had come to Washington and re-
turned to Chicago at his own ex-
pense, the Secretary said, and re-
ceived no remuneration for his serv.
ices here.
Mr.. Ickes declared the G. A. O..
has no jurisdiction in the Dean case,
as there is specific statutory pro-
vision whereby the Coal Division can
utilize the service of experts with.
out paving them.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June q -R- After
holding about 10 cent above pre-
vlous closing levels most of the
session, wheat prices today tum-
bled almost 2 cents and closed 1 to
1 3-8 lower than yesterday.
Some late selling was attributed
to hedging of new grain while fav-
orable weather for harvest in the
southeast and spring crop growth
in parts Of the northwest contri-
buted to the bearishness.
Many traders also were inclined
to even up accounts in view of the
uncertain International situa-
ton, particularly because of ru-
mors Of possible truce negotiations
in Europe. Trade was not on a
large scale because most specula-
tive activity apparently was cur
tailed by this uncertainty and the
market appeared to suffer more
from lack Of interest than anything
else.
July wheat closed at II cents
and September at II IL to 3-S.
Corn finished ID off to 1-8 up,
July 60 SO. September. So 7-8 to
So; oats ID to IL down; rye "a
to l cent lower and lard IS higher.
Some early wheat strength was
attributed to higher securities
prices but traders also attached
much attention to reports Of nego-
tiations looking toward third party
Intervention in Europe for the adj
ministration of relief. Some deal
ers believe cessation of hostilities
lead to opening up of much
of the European market but, on
the other hand, there is no telling
at this stage how this would at
feet domestic grain conditions be-
cause there is no certainty as to
how the potential demand on the
is to be met, by. whom
and at what price. 4
