By JOHN w. THOMPSON, Jr

BY JOHN w. THOMPSON, Jr.
John H. Wilson, veteran COL
ored member of the Board of
Education, today gave his un-
qualified support to proposals to
increase the public school physi-
cal activity and study program
as we'll as the medical and dental
inspection of school pupils as
means of improving the physical
fitness of the youth who may be
called into war service.
I'm definitely for it," he de-
cIared. There's no use educating
the children if you don't keep them
healthy"
Mr.. Wilson joins Mrs. Henry Grat-
tan Doyle and G. Melvin Sharpe,
also members of the board, and
all school and Health Department
officials in supporting the expanded
program which has been asked of
the local communities of the coun-
try by the War Department.
DR.. James A. Cannon, the only
other board member who has to
date expressed his views on the
plan, favors the medical and dental
inspection, but is doubtful of the
value of the stepped-up physical
education program.
Mr.. Wilson, an attorney, said there
was not much of physical educa-
ton program in the District public
schools when he attended, other
than the Cadet Corps. He was cap
tain of winning company at Arm
strong High School in the annual
competitive drills and was the first
cadet officer in the colored divi-
sions to lead an eight-squad COM
pany in the competition. He won

units.
The school board has already
given its official Endorsement to an
expanded program Of physical edu-
cation which has been only partially
fulfilled because of lack of funds.
The program calls for a minimum
of two periods a week and urged a

Gets Under Way, With
10 800 Tags Called
50 Per Cent of Passenger
Cars Rejected in
First Tests Lost Yeor

AS the automobile inspection sea-
son started today, 800 Washington
car owners were notified to appear
for checkups.
The owners included those holding
license plate numbers from to 800,
Among the motorists were the Dis
trict Commissioners and other Off
cials.
Two stations we're ready to inspect
the cars for defects-one at 1927
West Virginia avenue N E, the other
at 6l5 Tenth street S.W.
The stations will be open from s
am. to 6 pm. Mondays through Fri
days and from 8 am. to $50 pm.
Saturdays.
Many Rejected on First Test.
More than 50 per cent of all pas
senger cars inspected last year by
the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic were rejected upon their first
appearance at one of the city's two
safety test stations. Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer announced.
He made public the annual sta
tistical report of c. w Reed, super
visor of safety inspections, which
disclosed that out of total of 187,-
1876 vehicles examined. 6,128 failed
to reappear after receiving red re-
lection stickers.
1--WE know that these cars are no
longer on the streets of Washing
ton" Mr.. Van Duzer declared. They
apparently were in such bad condi-
tion that their owners either sold
them for junk or moved to other
jurisdictions where safety require
ments are not so strict"
Taxicab Rejection High.
Mr.. Reeds report showed also
that about 81 per cent of the Dis
trict's taxicabs failed to pass in
spection on their initial appearance
and approximately the same num-
ber of trucks.
In most instances, however, re-
jected vehicles were finally approved
after minor adjustments were made.
The total number of vehicles in
spected last year represented an in
crease of 14,955 over the year before.
