Leaders Predict
Canal Locks Fund
Will Be Restored
Assurance Is Conditional
That Work Can Be
Started at Once

Conditional on assurances that
work can be started Immediately,
restoration of a $4,000, 900 appro-
pr1ation for third set of locks in
the Panama Canal was predicted to-
day by congressional leaders after a
White House conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Attending the weekly legislative
strategy session were Vice President
Garner. Speaker Bankhead, Senate
Majority Leader Barkley and House
Majority Leader Rayburn.
AS the quartet emerged from the
White House. Senator Barkley ad-
mltted to reporters that the Panama
Canal appropriation had been a
principal subject of the conference.
Says Work Could Start Now,
There seems to have been some
misunderstanding on when work
could begin on the project" the SEN
ator said. "The House Appropria-
tions Committee apparently believed
that work could not start for at least
two years, but the President con-
tends 1t could get under way at once
Some further inquiry is being
made and If it is found that the way
is clear for an immediate beginning
the necessary appropriation un-
doubtedly will be restored.

| Will Rule on
'FIoq Salute
By the Associated P:css.

Il pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it
stands; one Nation indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all"
The Supreme Court at last will
decide whether school children can
be compelled to recite the Salute to
the Flag, a familiar rite throughout
the land for many years..
Although the court previously had
refused to hear cases from Georgia,
California. New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts, where lower courts upheld
the requirement. it agreed yesterday
to review one from Minersville, Pa,
where lower courts ruled in favor of
a brother and sister who were ex-
PEELED from school on the issue.
Lillian and William Gobitis, IL
and 10 years old, respectively, at
the time of their expulsion in 1885,
refused on religious grounds to give
the salute prescribed by the School
Board for daily opening exercises.
1t was contended by a religious
group that in such an action they
would bow down to craven images"
and violate holy writ.
Their refusal was upheld by the
Federal Circourt at Philadelphia in
decision by Judge William Clark,
which contained this observation:
I'VE do not doubt that children
can and have been forced to learn
Latin or eat spinach and so eventu-
ally to love them. But this peda-
gogical victory has more often than
not been won at the price of resent
ment toward the disciplinarian. In
our particular circumstance. then,
that resentment clashes with and
cancels the very affection sought to
be instilled."

The revised law would permit

The action followed the refusal of
the District Committee, meeting in

the proposed legislation of the
House calendar 1t will come before
the House Monday-on District day.
Mrs. M. o. Lorenz, president OF the
Voteless Women Voters group, asked
the committee to hold a public
hearing so that the many defects"
OF the bill could be amended. One
OF these defects, she said is that no
age limit is fixed on children who
would participate in professional
productions.
A. Julian Brylawski, president Of
the Theater Managers of Washing
ton, and A. D. tJess) Willard, man.
ager of WJSV, favored the legisla-
ton on the ground that the existing
ban on child performers handicaps

tee also approved yesterday two pro-
posed laws to prohibit the placement
OF children by an unlicensed agerly
or individual and to reform proce-
dure of the Juvenile Court in IL

would replace the 1912 law under
which the court now operates.
A third piece of legislation now
being prepared by the Council Com
mittee, to increase the powers of the
Board OF Public Welfare, will be
ready next Monday, it was said.
The child-placement licensing law
approved by the committee would
set up board composed of lay and
professional persons representing the
Board of Public Welfare, the Health
Department and five recognized
children's agencies which would de-
fine standards and issue licenses to
agencies engaged in child-placing

Obtained From British.
The guns just sold were obtained
by the United States from the Brit
ish directly after the World War.
Since then the War Department has
adopted the l55-millimeter piece as
standard equipment and the six
inch guns have become obsolete as
far as this country is concerned. 1t
was pointed out that carrying of the
six-inch weapon would entail extra
expense for development Of special
shells.
due to these factors, their use
by the United States Army has not
been considered advisable from an
economic and practical viewpoint,
and they have been held in storage
at Aberdeen MD Proving Ground
since 1919" today's announcement
said.
Brazil purchased the guns "as is"
and where is"
Gen. George c. Marshall, chief
of staff, visited Brazil last year

The War Department did not in
dicate today whether this was a
single transaction, or the first Of a
series of Latin American purchases
to intensity defense preparations for
the Western Hemisphere.
In addition to the 6-inch guns, the
War Department has several hun
dred 3-inch guns of British manu-
facture, likewise dating from the
World War, and Finland has made
inquiries as to the possibility OF OBJ
tanning some Of these. Also in stor-
age are some 100000 Lee-Enfleld
