Schools 10 Enlarge
Training Courses
In Defense Crafts
BoIIou Says Women
Moy Be included Under
Expended Program

The District public schools are
going "all out" for national defense
training as soon as extensions and
additions to the present program
can be planned, Supt. Frank w.
Ballou said today.
DR.. Ballou returned TO his desk
Saturday after a weeks tour of de-
Tense projects and training programs
on the West Coast with a dozen
other educators.
He Immediately turned to the
problem of expanding local voca-
tional training. He estimated that
expansion costs would be slight and
said additions were predicated on
the assumption that the Federal
Government would continue TO make
funds available for the training.
May Train Women.
Some of the expansion, he said,
probably will be devoted to training
women to take places in defense
industries of men called under Sc
lective service Some probably will
go to prepare boys for some of
the jobs they will have in the Army
or Navy when drafted.
The superintendent said where
necessary every step will be put on
a 24-hour basis and every piece OF
machinery used, including tools in
some of the high school shops not
primarily intended for vocational
courses.
His assistants expect to confer
with high school principals possibly
this week with view to generating
interest in the courses in the high
schools.
Il believe there are many new
services Washington schools can pro-
vide as their contribution to this
all-out movement" DR.. Ballou de-
clared.
At the present time the District
has about 1000 persons enrolled in
defense training courses under the
instruction of 80 full-time and 81
part-time teachers. Since the begin
ming of the courses, 1862 have been
enrolled but many of these have
completed the work or dropped out.
DR.. Ballou indicated that his tour
group, which expects to issue a
report about June l, had discovered
shortages of machinery through
primary demands of actual produc-
ton needs. Also some schools were
experiencing difficulty in getting
qualified instructors from the indus
tries, most of the men being badly
needed in actual production.

Minister Says Australia
Is SoIidly Behind Britain

Australia "to man stands solid
ly behind Great Britain in this
war despite IAN intense German
propaganda drive" to the contrary,
A. w. Fadden, acting Prime Min
lister of Australia declared in a
statement made public here last
night by Richard G. Casey, Austria
lian Minister.
The Australian people," Mr..
Fadden was quoted as saying, were
proud to be associated with Brit
ish and Greek troops in the Balkan
sector of war. Even if this par
ticular military operation does not
bring the success we would have
like it to bring, it cannot be en-
phasized too strongly that Australia
is fighting this war as one of an
empire team.
There is not now and there nev-
er will be, while Australians are
Australians, any half-hearted al
legiance to a cause to which we
have given our support. There will
be other battles in this war and
Australians in the navy, army and
air force will seek to play their
full part alongside their brothers
from Great Britain and our sister
dominions."

0verton Bill
Consideration
|sDe|ayed
Two Weeks Token
For Missionary
Work in House

House consideration Of the Sem
ste-approved Overton bill prescrib-
Ing a formula for measuring the an
nual Federal payment toward mu-
nicipal expenses here will be de-
laved two weeks. it was announced
today by Chairman Randolph of the
House District Committee.
Decision to defer action on the
measure was revealed by Repre-
sentative Randolph shortly before
the House convened to consider
District legislation on its calendar.
The Overton bill is one of those
measures having been favorably re-
ported by the District Committee
last Thursday
I'VE will call up the Overton bill
in the House May y, the next Dis
trict Day" said Mr.. Randolph.
meanwhile an effort will be made
10 familiarize the membership with
the measure and seek additional
support"
Reprentative Randolph also an
nounced he would resist any move
30 have the bill called up before
May y under special rule.
There will be plenty of time on
regular District dayS to consider the
bill he declared. And l see no
necessity of rushing action on 1t
under a special rule. A tWo-Week
delay. in my opinion, would not
jeopardize the measure, but, on the
contrary, will increase its chance
of House approval, because in that
period there will be opportunity for
some missionary work among the
membership"
The Overton formula would fix
the Federal share of municipal eX-
penses on the basis Of ratio OF tax
exempt acreage here after certain
deductions to the total land area.
It's adoption would raise the present
SIS 600 900 lump-Sum payment to ap-
proximately S9.O00,000 in the coming
fiscal year beginning July /.
The House District Committee
added an amendment to the bill
as it passed the Senate-a change
suggested by President Roosevelt
requiring that the annual appro-
priations for capital Improvements
at least equal the amount of the
Federal payment.
AS soon as the House convened,
Representative Springer, Republl-
can. of Indiana announced he was
introducing a bill to increase the
local gasoline tax from 2 to 4 cents
a gallon to bring about reduction
in what he described as "a large
Federal contribution" to District
expenses.
A Accent tax, he declared, would
compare with the motor vehicle
fuel tax in a number of States.
This tax should be authorized
here" he said. ito reduce the large
Federal contribution. The present
tax is so unfair that the average
persons in the States must make
huge contribution to the District
of Columbia while the District pays
q small fuel tax"

Warning that there is no longer

In Self-defenSe, for our own

QuenceS, we must back the British

If the diCtators wish to call such

this is one country that has never

beautifully gowned debutantes and

Boy Shifted Illegally
By Attorney General, ,
Appeals Court Rules
Had No Power to Send
Youth to Lorton,
Decision Holds

Attorney General Jackson IS
without authority to transfer an in
mate of the National Training
School for Boys to the District Re-
formatory at Lorton, Va, because
Juvenile Court has exclusive juris-
diction of minors, the United States
Court of Appeals ruled today.
Emory O'Bryant, colored, under l8
years of age, was taken before Ju-
venile Court, accused of having
broken into a railroad car, and was
committed to the National Training
School for Boys. He was insub-
ordinate and unruly and regarded
by the school authorities as a bad
influence and had twice escaped, the
court recalled today. O'Bryant was
transferred to Lorton under author
ity of the Attorney General.
Writ Obtained.
Attorney John T. Bonner, acting
for the youth. obtained a habeas
corpus writ and Justice Bolitha j.
Laws ordered OBryant returned to
the Training School, ruling the At
torney General was without power to
order the transfer. Today'S decision
upholds the District Court finding.
The opinion today was written by
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner,
who heard the case with Associate
Justices Justin Miller and Fred M.
VinSon, and the court pointed out
that AL of the provisions of the
statute indicate that the Juvenile
Court is to control commitments"
and that the law indicates clearly
that the purpose of the act is to pro-
vide for the child's welfare, except
in unusual cases, without actual de-
tention."
Recalls Courts Powers.
The court observed: The term
Of commitment. the nature of COM
mitment and the place of commit
ment, within the statutory limita-
tions, are all within the exclusive
discretion of the Juvenile Court"
The appellate tribunal recalled
that Juvenile Court may at any
time modify or revoke the order of
commitment and return the child
to its parents or may discharge the
child from the custody of an insti-
tuition, and in that case if the child's
conduct thereafter makes such a
course necessary, may recommit him
to the institution from which he
has been released. Further, the
court said, Juvenile Court has its
own probation department to keep
check on minors.
