AT some camps" he continued,
"the call is to get traffic out of the

work is of first importance. Next
in importance is the elimination of

and strengthening of weak surfaces

ed by defense agencies. These roads
are on the Federal aid system and
the Improvements needed are the

After the war, Mr.. Spencer be-

One Of the primary requirements

A story that began as a Washing

in correspondence course more

as a play by leading theatrical
producer in New York Thursday
night.
And no one is more amazed than
the meteorologist-novelist creator of
the story, Robin Edgerton Spencer,
assistant to the assistant chief of
the Weather Bureau.
'I never had the slightest idea
there was play in it," he explained.
Il didn't think it was possible to
tell that kind of tale-it's a sort
of a psychological ghost story-on

Why not?
"Well, it's a dramatization of my
novel, The Lady Who Came to
Stay published in 1881. And those
who read the book will remember
that it is a study of the influence
that women of strong personality
exert, even after death. on children

Businessmen's Request
To EIein to Go Before
Utilities Commission

A delegation of businessmen from
the Connecticut Avenue Association
yesterday petitioned the Public
Utilities Commission and the Capital
Transit Co. for return of bus service
to lower Connecticut avenue.
Riley E. Elgin. chairman, said he
would refer the petition to the COM
mission itself, but emphasized that
the order rerouting buses around
lower Connecticut avenue had been
put into effect on account of many
complaints of traffic congestion and
after a public hearing.
The delegation told Mr.. Elgin that
many complaints have been received
from customers on difficulties In
reaching shops because the buses
have been taken of the avenue.
In a statement made public as
they called at the commission, the
delegation said: There has been
noticeable diminution in patronage
Of customers who use the buses.
Buses 3 Blocks from Shops.
The former routing of the Chevy
Chase buses" it was explained, was
west on H street to Seventeenth
street, north on Seventeenth to Con-

said, came Unexpectedly, following
efforts on the part of the Connecti-
cut avenue association to have the
traffic situation on the avenue re-
heved by better regulation of cruis-
ing taxiCabs. 1t Is cOntended by the
association that the first step to
relieve any congestion of Connecti-
cut avenue would be to restrict the
number of empty cruising taxis in
the vicinity of the Mayfower
Hotel"
500 Signatures Claimed.
The delegation consisted of L. r.
Colburn, president of the associa-
ton; Arthur C. Tilley, secretary;

Urges Guidance Of Youth
For Constructive Talk

The United States should antici-
pate almost universal war" to con-
tinue in the world for severa
years to come, Senator Thomas OF
Utah of the Senate Military AT.
fairs Committee warned today ir
an address prepared for delivery
before the National Association OF
Teachers of Speech holding its "sil-
yer anniversary" convention in the

Much of the future conflict vii

Senator predicted. .s, --
Therefore, I do not expect reign
Of law but an ordered society based
America this means that our domi-
mating idea will be based almost
entirely upon national interest"
Sees Duty for Teachers.
After discussing conscription and
other defense legislation. Senator
Thomas stated it is the particular
responsibility of teachers of speech
to guide youth in the proper use of
freedom of speech.
The art of speech, like every
human resource. is in itself neither
good nor evil" he declared. 1T re-
sembles strychnine, which in the
hands of skilled physician may be
the salvation of a patient. yet ad-
ministered destructively by a fiend
becomes an instrument of murder
The obvious contrast is between
the use of speech for constructive
purposes in our democracy, and the
use of the spoken word in dictator
states, where it is used to express
a single will"
In another field Of speech proD-
lens the convention yesterday heard
a demand by Conrad w. Freed of
West Texas State Teachers College
for complete upset in public school
teaching methods
He complained that free conver-
sation and communication is for
hidden in schools, with whispering
almost a cardinal sin"
Many teachers are little czars in
their classrooms, he commented.
I'm the average classroom, with
fixed seating arrangements, stu
dents are kept as quiet as possible
and when recitations are made they
are made to the teacher. In this
way the students are made individ-
ualistic-not true group.
Leadership Treated Coolly.
Leadership receives little encour-
agement. Ability to master a book
is given greater emphasis than abil-
ity to control the behavior of fellow
men. AS a result, the product of
which the school is most proud is
really a colossal flop Surveys
have shown that 10 years out of
school the scholar is a failure. while
the student who excelled in drama.
debate, music, athletics and other
extracurricular activities is marked
success.
only one conclusion is possible
If the classroom is to be more life
like and democratic and use the
energy present in every child. oral
techniques will have to be given a
chance to function"
The convention will continue
through Thursday. Among the
speakers tomorrow are John r.

partment's Cancellation Service, and
Carl Taeusch of the Agriculture
