DR.. Rume|y Arraigned
On Contempt Charge;
Pleads Not Guilty

DR.. Edward A. Rumely, executive
secretary of the Committee on Con-
stitutional Government, pleaded not
guilty in District Court today to an
indictment charging he unlawfully
failed to turn over records of his
committees financial hackers to the
House Campaign Expenditures
Committee.
In a statement issued after his
arraignment before Justice James
M. Proctor, DR.. Rumely declared
the Committee for Constitutional
Government has nothing to hide
and had turned over to the House
investigators complete record of
its receipts, except for the names
and addresses of individual con-
tributors.
Was Founded by Gannett.
The failure to supply the re-
quested list of contributors resulted
in citation by the House commit
tee for contempt, which led to the
indictment.
The Committee for Constitutional
Government was founded in 1887 by
Frank E. Gannett, publisher of a
chain of newspapers in New York
State.
In his statement, DR.. Rumely saio
his refusal to disclose the names
asked by the House committee rep
resented the decision of a board Of
trustees, which aimed "to upholc
our constitutional rights and 'ts
set precedent that will safeguare
the rights of citizens and of all 9th.

OF protection to such usurpations
we should know it. Then steps car

The first step is to obtain adjudica

CAB Allows Howard Hughes
To Obtain Control Of TWA
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Acquisition of control of Trans
continental & Western Air, Inc, by
the Hughes Tool Co. of Houston.
Tex, owned by Howard r. Hughes,
was authorized by the Civil Aero
nautics Board yesterday.
The announcement said Mr.
Hughes, aeronautical engineer and
record-holding aviator, first became
interested in TWA in 1899. when he
began purchasing blocks of the
company's stock. At the time of the
application he was represented as
owning in excess of $5,505 900 of
TWA stock
There is very little room to doubt
that for all practical purposes such
control (of the company's stock has
existed since the end of 1910, at
least when 42.1 per cent was owned"
the CAB said.

On Baltimore Street
Dies Naming Man
BY the Associated Press

BY lne Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 2O.-Evelyn
Acker, 26. a former member Of
the WAC, was found fatally
stabbed on a sidewalk today but
regained consciousness long
enough to murmur mans
name and add: I'm going to tell
on you"
Officers said they were seeking the
man mentioned by Miss Acker, who
for the last year has been an elec-
trician's helper at the Bethlehem
Fairfield Shipyard, Inc.
Miss Acker, a native of Osterburg,
a suburb Of Altoona, Pa, suffered
five stab wounds. one of which
penetrated the heart, and two
slashes on her right wrist. She
died about an hour after she was
found at st. Paul and Read streets
by police, who were summoned by
a nearby apartment dweller who
saw the woman slumped over a
railing.
Robbery Motive Discarded.
Officers said the woman did not
describe her attacker, but theor-
lied he was the same one who ap-
peared at Mercy Hospital before the
stabbing was reported and said a
doctor should be sent to St. PAU
and Read streets because "a woman
has been badly cut"
/ Police discarded robbery as a
motive, reporting the woman's purse
found near her, still contained
money and other articles.
+ The first report of the stabbine
came from Katherine Brady, occu-
pant of first-hoor apartment, who
told police she was awakened about
f5:15 am. by a woman's screams
Gazing outside, she saw woman
slumped over a railing surrounding
a grass plot.
After calling and receiving no
answer, Miss Brady related, she
summoned police. Meanwhile the
woman had staggered about IS feet
and fell. n
Makes Short Statement.
Police Sergt. Harry Bryan, who ac-
companied the woman to the hos
pital said that during the hour she
lived she revived only for a minute
to make the short statement.
Police said they learned from rela-
tives that Miss Acker received her
discharge from the WAC about a
year ago and that she lived in a
st. Paul street apartment. She
worked the am. to $3.50 pm shift
yesterday at the shipyard.
While in the WAC, Miss Acker
was stationed at Daytona Beach and
at Camp Edwards, Mass.

elimination, segregation and mis-
treatment of 100000 Negroes in the

Both men were fined and SEN

ments, said to have been dictated
by Atty. Cashin, in connection with
Capt. Harrison's plea for a review
of the trial board proceedings
which resulted in his discharge
along with six other captains from

highly publicized gambling trials.
Cashin, according to Corpora

Fred C. Mcclure, is "on a mission
for President Roosevelt" with the
rumor placing him in Africa. Judge
Graber ordered that a report be
filed by Dec. Is stating when
Cashin is expected to appear in
court.
Speculation that Atty. Cashin
may receive Jail sentence Of 80
days and a $4,000 fine is based up
on testimony that Cashin spent six
hours debating the documents on
June Fl which bore a June 16 date
against the ousted police official.

greatest bearing on intercultural
education in the school systems,
DR.. Frank E. Baker told a group
of $50 educators Tuesday as they
gathered in the Biltmore hotel to
discuss varied programs for pro-
noting interracial relationships in
schools and colleges. The one day
session became known as the "insti-
tute on intercultural education"
sponsored by the commission on ed
ucational organizations Of the Ma
tional Conference of Christians
and Jews.
DR.. Baker, president of the Wis
consin State Teachers college at
Milwaukee, stated that a question
naire sent to 1876 teachers colleges
showed a wide variance in atti-
tudes on intercultural education in
these schools. Local traditions and
prejudices of the geographic areas
strongly affect the school, the edu-
Gator charged.
MANY of these institutions are
hampered in the field of education
by their geographic environment,
and there is the prospect that this
hampering condition may be ac-
centuated by possible population
trends in the postwar PERIOD" he
declared. "This places before us
the responsibility for promoting in
teacher education institutions a
broad, efficient and sound pro.
gram of intergroup education
DR.. Baker made the following
suggestions; more diversified fac
ulty and student bodies for these
schools, persons with wide vari
ETY. of racial and religious tropics
and courses in anthropology.
According to DR.. Henry N. Mac
Craken, president of Vassar Col
lege, the development of extra-cur
ricular activities in an inter-groul
basis would be of more benefit il
training leaders for the next gener
alton than all the curricular ac
tivities in the world"
DR.. julius E. Warren, Massa
chusetts commissioner of educa
ton, charged that California, Tex
as, New York and Massachusetts
are the only states with well estab
lished programs of intercultura
education, sponsored by the stat
education departments. His find
ings were the result of a survey
which he recently conducted.
Another educator, DR.. Ottt
Klineberg of the school of psychol
ogy, Columbia university, believes
that scientific date for intercul
tural education is best utilized il
existing courses, while DR.. Theo
dore Bramold, University Of Min
nesota, discussing intergroup re

Iationships on the secondary level,
said that racial programs on this
level are far more hopeful now
than ever. Bramold's work resulted
from a survey of secondary schools
in seven northern cities coast to
coast.
Teachers know very little scien-
tific data about race or cultural
problems" Brameld stated and
blamed the teachers colleges for
poor instructions in this phase of
the work.
