Army Salute 10 Flag
lobe Used Hereafter
In Public Schools
MiIitury Custom Slated
For Uniformity's Sake,
BulIou Explains

Beginning today, public school
children will be taught the Army
salute prescribed in Army infantry
regulations in place of the old ex-
tended arm salute adopted more
than IS years ago for use in the
pledge of allegiance to the flag.
The change was ordered yester-
day by the Board of Education on
recommendation of Supt. Frank w.
Ballou who said school officers long
have felt more uniformity was
needed in the salute.
DR.. Ballou admitted he had re-
ceived numerous complaints that
the old salute bore strong resem-
blance to the Na2i or Fascist salute,
but when asked if this was the main
reason behind the change, said with
a smile; You may draw your own
conclusions"
The superintendent said the old
salute was drawn up some Is years
ago on recommendation of special
committee composed of representa-
tives of patriotic organizations and
on which the schools representative
was Selden M. Ely.
School Transfer Approved.
At that time he said Army Of
ficials were net sympathetic to the
use of the military salute by civil
ians and the other practice was de-
vised.
Hereafter, the students will keep
their right hands at their fore
heads in the pledge instead of ex-
tending them toward the flag.
The members of the board ap-
proved yesterday transfer of the
Henry-Polk Schools at Seventh and
P streets to the Commissioners to
be used as a site for the new North
west Health Center. The board will
notify the city heads it has no
further use for the schools after
October 8.
The two schools have not been
used for school purposes since last
June.
The board members reiterated
their recent refusal to turn over
the basement of the old jefferson
Junior High School to the Com
missioners for use as a prophylac-
tic center for soldiers on leave from
nearby encampments.
Previously the board had advised
the city beads of their need of the
entire building for storeroom and
recreation purposes The Commits
sioners asked reconsideration of the
denial
Oppose Deferment Policy.
In lieu of the Jefferson basement,
the school heads offered the Com
missioners the old Rossell School,
an eight-room building also in
Southwest Washington, which has
been abandoned temporarily for
school purposes. On recommenda-
ton Of DR.. Ballou the board offered
the building for use as a prophy-
Tactic center during the emergency
but with the understanding that it
would revert back to school direc-
ton.
Responding to questions by Need
ham c. Turnage, Government ap-
peals agent for Draft Board No. 6,
the board said it would not estab-
lish a policy Of seeking deferment
of all teachers under consideration
for military service by draft boards.
DR.. Ballou pointed out that many
have been granted leave to serve
already and that substitutes have
been satisfactory.
School officials plan to work out
program of District participation
In national citizenship program

a sl4,oO000O national appropriation
Some of this money, it was said,

is available for use here in setting
up classes for illiterates or for
aliens wishing to become citizens
DR.. Ballou said he wished to con-
slider the new program in the light
Of opportunity in the Americaniza-
ton School that is now available
to such persons.
Union Protest Rejected.
Board members refused to sup
port DR.. Ballou in his recommended
tion concerning liquor license at
745 Fifteenth street NE. near the
Webb School, saying there was in
sufficient reason for protest pre-
sented by school officials in this
case. The matter has been turned
over to a special three-man COM
mittee which handled liquor licenses
for the board during its summer
recess.
On recommendation of its Per-
sonnel Committee, the board de-
clined action in protest OF the
international Union of Operating
Engineers, Local No. 102, against
the naming of Robert E. Robson as
superintendent of custodians. The
union contended the board violated
one Of its rules in not promoting a
candidate from within service. The
board replied yesterday there had
been no violation. Mr.. Robson was
formerly engineer for a real estate
development in Brentwood Park.
Hint that the local Lions Club
might sponsor a cadet uniform pool
for the benefit of students financial
ly unable to buy uniforms was given
by DR.. James A. Cannon WHO said
he had been asked to sound out the
board members on the plan.

Parachutist CANDLES
With Death 10 Best
Lofty Rock Tower
Ex-R. A. F. Flyer Must
Descend Wyoming Pillar
He Reached by Plane
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SUNDANCE, Wyo., Oct. "A 30
year-old daredevil who once few
with the r. A. F.. shivered atop a
skyscraping rock formation today,
after a day and a night as a pris-
oner of It's heights because of the
gambling spirit which led him to
parachute to its disc-like summit.
The lone occupant of the geologi-
cal freak, called Devils Tower, was
George Hopkins Of Rapid City, S.
Oak. He faced perilous three-hour
descent to the rolling hills below,
down the sheer walls of the pinnacle
which rises like a huge tree stump a
quarter of mile into the sky
higher than the Empire State Build
ing.
On a wager with Early Brockelsby
of Rapid City, Mr.. Hopkins bailed
out of a plane flown by Joe Quinn
of Rapid City at 8:11 am. yester-
day and dropped 600 feet to safe
landing on the barren top.
Mr.. Quinn dropped him a long
coil of rope for the descent-but it
slithered down one of the sides of
the basalt tower, which rises 1880
feet above the Belle Fourche River
Valley between Carlile and Moor
croft, Wyo.
The rope landed on a ledge part
way down the circular cliff. Another
rope was dropped last night along
with provisions by another flyer,
Clyde Ice of Rapid City. But Hop
kins apparently decided to wait for
daylight before trying to descend.
Winds swept the top of the tower
last night and raindrops intermit-
tently pelted the former r. A. F. par
achute jumping instructor. Billowy
clouds alos enveloped it, isola ting
him from human contact from both
the air and the ground.
Only 40 persons are known to
have scaled the fantastic monolith,
with permits from the Devils Tower
National Monument Office. Mr..
Hopkins was the first to reach its
crest from the sky-and without a
permit.
His enforced occupation of the
summit for more than "a hours also
set record for time spent on the
perch.
