School Officials
Due 10 Ask for
More Teachers
Deficiency Request
Probable, BolIou
Tells Citizens

School officials probably will ask
the Board Of Education at It's next
meeting to approve a request for
deficiency appropriations to provide
additional teachers, needed particu-
larly in the colored schools.
They have already sent to the
Commissioners a plea for more than
81 900 900 to build six new schools
in the Benning Anacostia area.
Notice of the impending request
for new teachers was given by Supt.
Frank w. Ballou last night to some
200 citizens gathered in the Thomson
School to hear his annual explana-
ton of the 1912 school budget now
before Congress.
LAS long as the public feels there
should be no increase in the Dis
trict budget" he warned them, mo
matter how impressive our needs
are we will not be able to get addi-
tional appropriations"
Graph Pictures Disparity.
DR.. Ballou showed a graph OF
the teacher and pupil increase In
the schools since 1927, pointing out
how widely separated the lines are
since that time.
Even with decreasing enroll
ments in some places" he declared,
1T will take Is or 20 years before
the lines on this graph come to-
gether."
In the 1912 budget, which he
outlined to the citizens, the Board
of Education requested 143 new
teachers but the Budget Bureau
refused to approve any additional
positions. DR.. Ballou said the bureau
had agreed that 81 teachers could
be hired if the schools could save
money enough in teachers salaries
to cover them. He added this was
not impossible. But. this is a new
departure" he said, "and whether
1t will be accepted on Capitol Hill
remains to be seen"
The superintendent also declared
the schools were confronted with
a serious situation" in the matter
of repair of buildings and grounds.
Board estimates of some s727 900
were cut to $4,000.
"We cannot maintain the build
ings in proper condition on the
amount of money allowed there" he
said.
Cites Lighting Programs Fate.
DR.. Ballou called the attention of
the group to a board request for
some $50 900 to replace poor lighting
facilities in the schools based on
three-year program Of some 90,000
worth of needed requirements shown
in a survey. This was cut to $4,000.
A spokesman for Western High
School put in strong plea for a
new roof for the school and DR..
Ballou explained that the item had
been asked by the board but denied
by the Budget Bureau.
Then We have got to find some
money in this $4,000 to do it"
persisted the speaker. The school
officials out there will assume no
responsibility if the roof falls in on
our children
That is a matter for the repair
shop to decide, DR.. Balou re-
joined They compose priority
lists there"
School Protection Asked.
Another speaker pleaded for pro-
lection of school properties from
vandals but the superintendent an
swerer that this was a problem for
the police and added:
There still remains some re-
sponsibility with the home for the
pupil outside of school hours. I
agree there is entirely too much
vandalism"

the cooperation of the medical pro-
fesSion.
Mr.. Leahy previously had con-
tended in his opening argument that
a group of laymen had set up G. H.
A. and refused at first to give the
District Medical Society any in
formation about its finances, it's
plan of organization or it's program
for the future. On the contrary,
prosecution counsel charged resist
ance and boycott by the medical
society, whose president, DR.. Thomas
Edwin Neill, had been offered the
dictatorship.
The issue of freedom of choice
of a physician insisted upon by
organized medicine was raised by
the prosecution. After some diff
Guilty in getting question to the
witness without objections from de-
fense counsel being sustained by the
judge Mr.. Levin asked DR.. Cabot:
IF the American Medical Asso-
citation takes upon itself a rule no
doctor can take patients to hos
pital except the doctor be one of
it's own members, does that, or
not limit the freedom of choice of
the patient?"
"It does" answered DR.. Cabot.
Questioned on Qualifications.
Apparently striking back at the
Governments charge of conspiracy
to restrain the trade of Washing
ton hospitals and prevent G. H. A.
doctors from taking patients there,
Defense Counsel Leahy pursued a
long line of hypothetical questions
in questioning DR.. Cabot about
qualifications of doctors admitted to
practice in hospitals. DR.. Cabot had
insisted that every surgeon or
physician legally licensed to prac-
tice medicine should be admitted to
the courtesy stak of hospital and
permitted to treat patients or oper-
ate there under strict supervision
Of the medical staff.
The case of DR.. Raymond E.
Selders, G. H. A. surgeon, who had
been prevented from performing an
operation at a hospital here while
legality of G. H. A. was in question,
had been an issue of sharp difference
between prosecution and defense.
Finally Mr.. Leahy asked IF you
knew a serious question of the
legality of practice of physician
had been raised when he asked for
permission to practice in the hos
pilal, wouldn't it be reasonable to
deny him admission until that
| legality were cleared up?"
Yes, that's reasonable" an
swered the witness.
DR.. Cabot testified that all OF the
associated doctors in his group in
Boston were members of the A. M
A.. licensed to practice and admitted
to hospitals.
Asked by Mr.. Leahy if there were
any other groups providing medical
care in or near Boston, Dr. Cabot
named the Lahey Clinic, and said
it was run by DR.. Frank H. Lahey
"Is he a member of the American
Medical Association" asked Mr.
Leahy.
DR.. Cabot chuckled. HE ought
to be, he's just been elected the new
president of the A. M. A." There
was some laughter. quickly

Fullback Walt Fedora permitted a

and the score also was made on an
other 15-yard aerial. Furman's first
score was the result of a 90-yard

New Players Shine
Special Dispatch to The Star.


MONTREAL. Quebec, Nov. r.
One valuable player had been signed
and another tentatively brought into
line today as two factions of the
Washington Eagles prepared to
break camp here.
Tom Mccormack, 100-pound
veteran center, who has represented
three championship teams in this
vicinity within the past three years,
had definitely joined the squad,
while Ernie Mundey, center and
winger was awaiting a report on
his passport.
Neither player will be among those
departing from Montreal today, but
both are expected to join the Eagles
for their opening Eastern Amateur
Hockey League games with the
newly organized JohnstoWn puck
sters at Johnstown, Pa, on Sat-
urday night and Sunday afternoon.
Both Mundey and Mccormack saw
action last night as the Eagles
played gallant, uphill hockey to
overcome a 1-to-3 deficit and nose
out the Lachine Rapides sextet on
the latter's rink, 4 to 3.
Mccormack, an aggressive anc
hard-working player, provided much
of the spark that paved the way to
Les Hickey's winning goal on an

Odds Of 9 to 5 Appear

BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

It's very comforting, when con-

against the Bears, to remember what
Pitt did to Fordham last Saturday.
If that can happen, the certain un-

But the more you look at the
records, histories of Bear-Redskin
relations and present physical condi-
ton of the respective squads, the
more you're inclined to agree with
those who make the Chicagoans 95
favorites and are giving the champs
20 points.
Incidentally, that's all right with
Ray Flaherty, who would rather have
a grim, determined squad of under
dogs on his hands than band of
ght-hearted, cocky favorites. Fur
thermore, if he can work up the
Redskins to the frame of mind in
which the Bears met them in 1898
and the playoff game last year, he'll
have done all he can before they
take the field for the kickoff.
In '38, you remember, the Skins
went to Chicago for a regular sea
son game less than year after they
had whipped the Bears. 1921, for
the 1887 championship. George Ha-

either, and the result was a 81
