Student Government
Values Stressed at

Fosters Responsibility for
Maintaining Local and
National Institutions

Efficient student govern t,
President Cloyd H. Marvin last
night told the George Washington
University first student convocation
OF the university's l23d year,
enables men and women later to
take part in national affairs with
understanding.
In the long run. if we succeed
in our student government, DR..
Marvin said, ''if our local institu-
tions are jealousy maintained in
democratic way. we shall aid in
erecting a National Government or
a world order that will not fall over
our heads.
Things at Doorstep.
People cannot have the con-
sclousness of being self f-governed
unless they attempt to do the small
things at their own doorstep. If
you do not have this conception of
Government, then you will be ruled
by others who are wise and who
have time to develop rules to their
own ends. The real fascism. the
real oppression, the real political
slavery, is the intrusion of power
from without into a local condition. ;"
1T is easy" the university head
continued, TO become partisan
for distant causes you cannot state,
much less defend. Let us insist
on building our government pro-
cedure up out of the ground rather
than try to derive it from the
aerial blue.
Il question the ability of man
to interpret and advise me on ma
tional events or world affairs, who
glibly premises his talk on the
mountain passes of New Guinea or
on the harbors of Sicily, but who
cannot tell me in an authoritative
way OF the source of water supply
OF his home town.
Faculty Procession.
President Marvin's address was
the high light of the second con-
vocation held in the new Lisner
Auditorium. approximately $500
students and faculty members were
present.
A procession of the faculty in
cap and gown preceded brief re-
marks by Charles Daugherty, presi-
dent of the student body, and Dean
William C, Johnston of the junior
college. Music was provided by an
ensemble from the National SYM
phony Orchestra. Invocation and
benediction was given by the Rev.
DR.. Selwyn Kenneth Cockrell.
Tribute was paid to the memory
OF alumni who have paid the
supreme penalty in the World War.

Teachers Face
Delay in Pay
Until Monday
PiIkerton Seeks
Additional Help
And a Machines

Pay checks Que $500 school teach.
ers last Saturday will be delayed
at least until Monday, A. r. Pill
kerton, District auditor, announced
today.
Because teachers are paid only
10 times year, August and Sep
tember being omitted, the October
check will be the first received by
teachers since July IS. Though
delay of the first check in the fall
has been customary, teachers had
their hopes of prompt payment
raised this year by circular sent
out by school officers urging pur-
chase of War bonds. On the
strength of definite mention in this
circular of October as payday, sew
eral teachers have reported that they
gave postdated checks and made
definite financial commitments.
These checks are now bouncing"
and many teachers are unable to
meet their obligations.
AS partial solution for the delay
in paying off school employees
chronic for about the last year and
half, Mr.. Pilkerton has asked the
District Commissioners to buy four
accounting machines at total cost
Of $4,000. Purchase of these ma
chimes and the finding of an address
sograph operator to replace the one
who left four months ago, Mr.. Pill
kerton said, would do much to cut
down delay once the school payroll
arrives at the District Building.
Main cause of the delay in this
case, however, he said, was late de-
livery Of the payroll by the school
budget officer. r. w. Holt. In addi-
ton, Mr.. Pilkerton said, so many
changes Of teachers. salaries, retire.
ments and withholding taxes had
occurred during the summer that
this first fall payroll has taken
longer than usual to computate. Ex-
cept for possible revision of the
Withholding tax or compulsory War
bond deduction, he said, the pay
roll will now remain much the same
through the year.
Mr.. Holt cited the same difficulties
OF heavy turnover and changes in
amounts OF checks as the cause for
the two-day delay in delivery of the
payroll to Mr.. Pilkerton. In addi-
ton, after the first delivery to the
District Building September %. he
said, he had to correct faint letter
ing done by faulty addressographs
and revise the status of certain
teachers not reported to him until
several days after the opening of
school. His employees were slow in
starting the roll in the first place.
ne said, because telephone calls from
teachers asking about their esti-
mated incomes for the September
Is tax returns had kept the entire
staff occupied.
Both Mr.. Piikerton and Mr.. Holt
have requested additional clerks for
their offices. The pay of school off,
GERS, janitors and clerks, Mr.. Holt
said, was put out on time on Sat-
urday.

VINO Thwarts
Draft Boards on
j. ). Workers
USES Refuses to
Issue Releases for
Essential Jobs

Warned by their draft boards to
change jobs or be drafted num-
ber of Government workers who
have gone to the United States En-
ployment Service for other work
have been refused releases because
they are in an activity rated by
the War Manpower Commission as
essential, it was learned today.
Charles Farmer, newly appointed
director of the local USES, disclosed
this picture today when asked why
the USES had failed to place more
than half the men who applied for
jobs during September.
Last month, he said, draft boards
IN other cities sent letters to lot
of men working for the Govern
ment," notifying them to change
jobs or be drafted as non-defer-
ables.
Couldn't Get Releases.
The men, obeying instructions,
rushed to the employment service,
where they were duly registered
When it came to placing them in
SpAiSA JobSs llO"CNCl, IL was us
covered that they were in an
essential activity-Governme
VINO regulations, therefore, could
not be given the releases they needed
to take other work, Mr.. Farmer
explained
Mr. Farmer said he didn't know
whether draft boards at home were
then notified that the men were in
essential work already and couldn't
transfer.
Actually, the USES placed in Jobs
only LOTT men during September
the month during which the effec-
tiveness of the work or fight order
issued by the War Manpower Com
mission was to be tested. In August
1,039 men were placed on jobs, only
a few less than in September, when
men whose jobs were considered
nondeferrable were supposed to rush
to essential work.
Total placements during Septem-
Der, the USES reported, amounted
to 1929, of which 1852 were women
workers. Applications for jobs to-
tailed 1854, of which 1929 were filed
by women and 2,535 by men.
Control Decision Awaited.
Meanwhile, final approval of
Washington new employment sta
bilization plan, with tigher controls
over the movement of workers. was
expected today at meeting of State
War Manpower Commission chiefs
with Regional Director Henry E.
Treide.
The State directors and members
Of their staff, here for a two-day
meeting, were to pass on the re-
gional plan which applies to all
parts of the region not covered by
local stabilization plans.
Mr.. Treide emphasized that the
new plans should be put into eff
feet more smoothly than the for
mer plans, since the directors have
been here for four training confer
ences to iron out the details of
WINGS newest effort to cut down
turnover and direct workers to war
essential jobs.

Prince Georges Police
Shoot 40 Dogs in
Anti-Rabies Drive
Officers Are Instructed
To Check Ownership Of
Animal Before Killing

Prince Georges County officers.
armed with sawedoff shotguns, were
continuing roundup of stray dogs
today in an effort to prevent the
spread of rabies in the county.
Chief of Police Ralph Brown Or
dered police to shoot all stray dogs,
even those running loose on pri-
vate property, following extension
of the present dog quarantine for a
90-day period by the county COM
mlssloners. He added that 40 dogs
were killed yesterday.
Chief Brown said some of the dogs
shot by officers were on private
property. He said, however, that in
all cases no one was at home, so
it was impossible for officers to de-
termine who owned the dogs killed.
Cites Maryland Law.
He said police have been in
structed to make a check of the
owner of the dog before it is killed.
If dog is observed near person,
he added, the person is asked if he
is the owner, and if so he is re-
quested to confine the dog.
Il have studied the Maryland law
under which the commissioners
acted Chief Brown said. TT is
one of the State livestock laws and
a copy may be readily obtained at
the University of Maryland"
Meanwhile, the MONTGOMERY
County commissioners have extended
the dog quarantine to include the
entire metropolitan area of the
county. Stricter quarantine meas
ures had been recommended by Dr.
A. L. Brueckner, acting director of
the State Livestock Sanitary Service.
Citizens Warned.
DR.. V. L. Ellicott, county health
officer, said residents who allow their
dogs to run loose on private property
will be considered as having broken
the quarantine.
In appearing before the commits
sioners, Chief Brown declared:
The only way to stop outbreaks
Of rabies is to authorize policemen
to shoot any dog they see running
at large. This thing has gone en-
tfely too far. What we need now
Is action"
Under the law establishing a
quarantine, he explained, dog own
ers must keep their pets tied or
confined in a pen. A dog is per-
mitted to be on a leash. he added.
only if the leash is held by re
sponsible person"
Seven persons, including four
children, were bitten by rabid dog
in Mount Rainer within a tWo-hour
period last Friday. The animal
finally was killed.

DR.. Donald Dushane, Of the Ma
tional Education Association:

"Child labor has increased at
an unprecedented rate. Demands
that young people be released
from school to work on farms, in
stores, in service industries and in
factories have become alarming
to those who put the education
and welfare of children before the
commercial value of their services.
At the most critical age of their
lives, young children are walking
the streets, undisciplined and un-
controlled.We are subjecting them
to all the bad influences of society
without any kind OF supervision.
"A great many of them are in dead
end jobs and are being exploited
by unscrupulous employers who
are taking advantage OF the war to
get sheap labor. The best place for
these pupils, from the standpoint
of swimming the war and the peace,
is in the classroom.
