Of using the mails to defraud.
The court denied a bill of excep-

Of private, commercial and military
aviation, dined and danced last
night at the Raleigh Hotel to create
q memorial scholarship in the name
Of Amelia Earhart to train an aspir.
ing girl aviator in instrument fly
ing.
The dinner dance was sponsored
by the Ninety-Nines, international
organization Of flight aviatrices
whose first president was Amelia
Earhart. A young aviatrix, to quail.
fy for the scholarship, must be q
member of the Ninety-Nines and

minimum of 200 certified solo
hours.
Although acquisition Of funds for
the scholarship was the object Of
the Amelia Earhart Memorial din
ner dance, the Ninety-Nines took
the opportunity to present trophies
to two men, who. in the opinion Of
the club, made the most outstand-
ing contributions to aviation last
year.

Special Police Given
Promise Of Support
On Pay Raise
Representative Springer
Says Building Guards
Salary Is Unjust

Representative Springer. Republi-
can, of Indiana last night told the
United States Special Police Asso-
citation at their headquarters. 4l4
Ninth street NV. he would support
the measure recently introduced by
Chairman Lanham of the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds to increase pay of building
guards.
Mr.. Springer said the United
States special police who guard
valuable documents of the Govern
ment in various public buildings
have an entrance salary of only
$1,000, lower than that of the Metro
poitan Police, United States Park
Police, Capitol Police forces and
Fire Department.
Pointing out that the veterans in
the special police force. nearly all
of whom are disabled, had their
salaries adjusted on the basis of
their outside income. Mr.. Springer
said this outside income consisted
solely Of disability payments received
for service-conected injuries.
Those who were totally disabled"
he said, "were not qualified for these
positions those who we're
qualified were Disseminated against" ;"
The present entrance salary in
the special force, the speaker criti-
cized as "a magnificent sum paid
by magnanimous Government
80 an unjust salary not in COM
parison with the required duties"
Many of the veterans. whom he
characterized as his "buddies" from
overseas service, were said to be
separated from their families be-
cause their income was too small
to bring them to Washington, where
living costs are higher.
Leroy Westbury, president of the
association, conducted the meeting.
Others participating included Wal
ter I. Malone, vice president; Clar-
ence Messenger, secretary; Sam
Hawkins, who is building superin-
tendent of a group of buildings,
and several others.
The Lanham bill, which has been
referred to the House Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds,
would raise the entrance salary for
building guards from $1,000 to
81 500, and would provide an in
crease for officers. Their status
would be changed from building
guards to United States building
police under jurisdiction Of the
Federal Works Agency.

Jesuit Scholar 10 Join
Catholic University
Faculty in Fall
Rev. WiIfrid Parsons
To Be Professor in
Social Service School

Reports that the Rev. Wilfrid
Parsons, S. j., dean of the Graduate
School of Georgetown University, is
to join the faculty of the Catholic
University of America next fall were
verified last night.
The Most Rev. Joseph NJ. Corri-
gan, rector of Catholic University,
said the Board of Trustees had con-
firmed the appointment of the we'll
known Jesuit last Thursday. Father
Parsons is to become professor
in the school of social service.
It is unusual for a Jesuit to be
on the faculty of non-Jesuit insti-
tuition, although at the present time
there are six or seven Jesuit scholas-
tics who are taking courses at
Catholic University in sacred the
ology and the sciences. They live,
however, at Georgetown.
The fact that Father Parsons is
to become aff1nated with Catholic
University led also to reports that
the Society Of Jesus is preparing to
establish a house Of studies at that
institution. Bishop Corrigan denied

ton getting a corner" on Federal
billets, although it Is evident that
the certification machinery Of the
Civil Service Commission would
prevent such an eventuality auto
matically unless District competitors
always ranked at the top of en-
ployment registers after examina-
tions.
At any rate, when the law went
into effect, the District of Columbia
was entitled to buts one position,
although the consistent policy Of
Congress has been to foreclose other
employment opportunities for local
people by discouraging industrial
activity here.
That the legal" quota has been
passed is due, as has been said,
to the World War, and to the added
fact that hundreds of jobs have
gone to residents of this area be-
cause such jobs were In the lower
salary brackets and, consequently,
had no attraction for persons from
distant States who had the first
opportunity to take them.

There Is a good chance that foul

strong does, and they will be par
ticularly watchful Of Henry against
jenkins. The crowd Is almost GER
tain to be for the Texan, because
he Is the smaller man, the under
dog. BY booing the spectators will
call attention to any disregard Of
the rules, and the referee cannot
help but be influenced by this.
There are few rules Armstrong
doesn't violate In the space Of q
IS round bout. He Is q fierce but
ter. His style Of fighting calls for
him to stay in close to his man,
crowd him necessarily, and Henry
Is not particular how he does 1t. He
hits low, too. am not sure whether
he means to or not, because his
style calls for an almost incessant
rain Of blows. He throws these
from all angles. A vicious inflghter,
Henry finds great deal Of use for
his elbows and the backs Of his
gloves. If he misses with q right
he catches his man coming back
with some part Of his arm or glove.
Rough Tactics Criticized
1t Is too bad that Armstrong does
not adhere more closely to the
rules. His rough tactics form the
only basis for criticism of him as
a sportsman. Out Of the ring he
is quiet, modest, perfectly behaved.
Armstrong could take lesson from
Joe Louis, the heavyweight cham
pion. Louis has never violated q
single item in the boxing code. This
despite the fact that in at least six
of his fights he was subjected to
every violation known to man. This
Is one Of main reasons why Joe,
even with his long string Of sue
ceSses, still is the favorite with the
crowd.
For his own good, Armstrong
should stick to the rules next We'd
nesday. He is meeting young,
tough, on-the-upgrade fighter who
figures to give him full and hec-
tic evening. He may well need every
round he can possibly win.
