At a temporary laboratory in the

but at lower rate Of work. Similar
data was collected for the women
as was done In the case OF the

gelatine as compared with the nom

attention to his observations

New Insurance Code
Asked 10 Ban Agents
Lacking Training
Federal Employees
Selling as SideIine
Would Be Affected
By JAMES E. CHM.

Government employees who pick up
a few extra dollars selling insurance
to their associates as a sideline
would lose this income under pro-
visions Of q bill designed to set up .
new fire and casualty insurance code
here, it was disclosed today during
hearings on the measure before
the Insurance and Banking SUBJ
committee Of the House District
Committee.
Col. Lawrence c. Crawford, presi-
dent of the Insurers Association Of
the District, read to the subcom-
mittee excerpts from an advertise
ment in a local newspaper urging
Government employees to sell in
surance which emphasized the COM
missions they would receive.
I'VE do not want the purchasers
of insurance to be at the mercy OF
agents who do not themselves know
anything about the insurance busi-
ness. or who are not subject tc
Government control" he declared.
Since enactment of the new life
insurance code several years ago
the District Insurance Department
as well as large insurance companies
and brokers have sought similar
legislation to regulate the under
writing of fire, marine. casualty and
title insurance. The bill under con-
sideration was drafted by repre-
sentatives of these interested groups
Representative D'Alesandro, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, the subcommittee
chairman, announced another public
hearing would be held on the meas
ure next Thursday at 10:3O am
At the same time he predicted legis-
lation providing for regulation OF
the fire, marine. casualty and title
insurance businesses would be ap-
proved by his group in the near
future.

Trade Board Group
Backs Modified Plan
Of Sex instruction
Approves Report Urging
Course in Physiology
And Addresses

A modified program of sex in
struction In the public schools was
approved yesterday by the Board Of
Trades Public Schools Committee
at a luncheon session at Harvey's
Restaurant.
The committee adopted q report
of Gen. Amos A. Fries after Q two
hour discussion that forced post
ponement of other items on the
docket to an unscheduled meeting
next month.
Specifically the report calls for:
l. A thorough course in the physi-
ology Of the human system for pu-
pills from the sixth grade or eighth
grade.
2. Addresses by thoroughly quail
fed doctors to groups of boys and
girls in the junior and senior high
schools separately, in which the
dangers of social diseases are
brought out and warning against
self If the diseases are
contracted.
Overemphasis Opposed.
In explaining the report Gen.
Fries indicated his subcommittee
which brought it in was opposed
to oyeremphasis of sex education
or of introducing it into the schools
as a special course. He added that
the recommendation for the physi-
ology course calls for study Of the
human system and not simply a
study of animals or plants.
Meanwhile the committee heard
Chairman George E. Keneipp brand
as disgusting" the fact that no
funds were allotted for a new Will
son Teachers College and that ef-
forts were being made to locate the
new Abbot Vocational School on
the Upshur street tract instead of on
site in Brentwood Park planned by
school officials.
The members also voted unani-
nous opposition to the transfer of
the functions of the Board Of Edu-
cation to the Board of Public We'll
fare represented in the appropria-
ton of $4,000 carried in the 1941
budget of the welfare board to sup
port home instruction to shut-ins
Minister Leads Fight.
A minister, the Rev. j. Herbert
Garner of the Sixth Presbyterian
Church, led a one-man fight in the
committee for a course of sex edu-
cation in the schools mot later than
first year high school" and by "a
thoroughly qualified and spiritually
minded teacher"
Children" he said, ARE going
to learn something about it from
some one. Why not teach them
the right thing?"
The Rev. Mr.. Garner said the
course should teach the noble and
socially constructive uses of sex" :"
He said it should be taught in sep
arate classes of boys and girls on
the same basis that physical educa-
ton is taught. He recommended
Ray H. Everett of the Social Hy-
giene Society, who addressed an
earlier meeting of the committee on
the subject, as one who would be
qualified to teach such a course.
Other members of the committee
leaned toward the general idea in
cluded in the Fries report that q
large responsibility in sex education
lay with the parents and supported
moderate program in the schools.

Five Liquor Permit
Applications Opposed
By School Board
Discussion Arises Over
Business ! 900 Feet
From GreenIeof

The Board of Education yesterday
voted opposition to five liquor license
applications as being too near
schools or liable to entice school
youth.
Some discussion arose in one in
stance where the applicants business
was located some 1000 feet from the
Greenleaf School as to whether this
was not too great a distance from
the school.
Col. West A. Hamilton, a colored
member of the board, expressed the
fear that if the board protested every
application no matter what distance
from the school, the effect Of board
protest would be weakened. Vice
President Robert A Maurer also
raised the question as to whether
place that far from school could
properly be considered in its vicinity.
Says Children Patronize Place.
Supt. Frank w. Ballou explained
that the report from the Greenleaf
principal indicated the applicant
sold articles attractive to children
and that children will patronize the
establishment.
John H. Wilson, a colored member
of the board. said he was opposed to
the application no matter how far
away from the school, if the school
children were going 70 patronize the
! establishment.
Applications opposed were for a
class "B" license at 726 Seventh
street S.W, across the corner from
the Jefferson Junior High School; a
class ID" license at 2700 K street
NV, in the same olock as the Mont
gomery School; a class B" license at
1700 Euclid street, near the Henry
Wilson school; a class ID" license at
1901 Berning road NE, near the
Benning School, and a class B"
license at 1900 ThirG street SW,,
near Greenleaf.
Two teachers were promoted to
teaching principalships. Miss Edith
M. Williams was named teaching
principal of the Shepherd School
and Miss M. H. Stonlman at the
Amidon.
Schools Consolidated.
AS of today the Health School at
Thirteenth and Allison streets NV.
is consolidated in administration
with the West School and Miss
Katherine Doonan was named ad-
ministrative principal of the COM
bination. She was previously prin-
cipal Of the West School. The
Health School is to be remodeled
for the crippled classes now taught
at the Langdon School,
Three new members of the ad-
visory committee on vocational
education have submitted their
designations and will be succeeded
by Charles H. Tompkins, builder;
Austin Donaldson department store
official, and Mrs. Evelyn Bright
Buckley.
Graduations in the public schools
will be held principally on June IL
and 10, with one set for June 20
The board also approved the re-
quest of The Star for cooperation in
continuance of radio broadcasts re-
lating to the public schools over
Station WMAL during the next
! school year.

Mrs. Roosevelt Sees
Need for District
Labor Department
Visits Two D. c. Boards;
DepIores Lack Of
Safety Inspection

Mrs. Roosevelt found the District
badly in need" of Labor Depart
ment and industrial safety regula-
tions when she made tour Of the
District Minimum Wage Board and
the District Unemployment Com
pensation Board today.
She said she hadn't known that
the District had no Labor Depart
ment, and was particularly shocked
to learn that the city also lacked an
industrial safety inspection service
or code of safety regulations.
In the colurse of her tour, she also
propounded an idea to the Congress-
mems wives who accompanied her
that if woman stockholders will read
reports sent to them by their COM
panies and knew what they were
reading, they might find key to a
way to end the depression.
Favors Lucid Reports.
She said she had been wondering
how many stockholders ever study
the reports to determine what indus
try could do to help put people back
to work. Business. she added. should
be educated to present reports that
the people who read them could un-
derstand
If an interest in human welfare
and knowledge of business could be
brought together in the public, Mrs.
Roosevelt declared. the road to re-
covery might be found.
Speaking of the lack of safety reg
ulations, Mrs. Roosevelt declared
II should think that that was one
thing that showed working condi-
tlons here need attention"
She said she didn't believe the
Unemployment Compensation Board
should be included in the Labor De-
partment but that "the offices
should all be together for the proper
service of the people"
1t must bother people, she COM
mented, that Everything should be
so scattered around"
Low Salaries Criticized.
Told that the seven staff members
in the Minimum Wage Board Offices
received total of $15,2O0 a year
she pointed out that the rents in
Washington are high and that
people have families to support. She
particularly criticized the low salary
of a male employe who had been on
the job Is years and was making
only s1920.
The provisions contained in the
amendments proposed for the mini
mum wage law were explained by
Mrs. William Kittle, chairman OF
the Minimum Wage Board.
John A. Marshall, director of the
Unemployment Compensation Board
told Mrs. Roosevelt he favored in.
creasing the maximum jobless bene.
fit from SIS to $40 a week and re.
ducing the unemployment compen.
sation tax on employers.
Tax Declared Excessive.
Told by Mr.. Marshall that he be.
lieved it was an excessive tax al
over the country, Mrs. Roosevelt re.
sponded: :,
Then that's one place where in.
dustry could get rebate on taxa.

Mrs. Roosevelt also pointed out
that a Labor Department woule
