She's $50 years old, but the
u. S. S. Constitution is still
ready to take on all corners


THERE's not much chance of her being
Il called into action, but "Old Ironsides'
"a real American - is still ready to take
on all corners. The 15O-year old warship,
known officially as the U.SS Constitution,
is tied up at the Boston Navy Yard. She's
as sound as the day she was launched. And
the ship is shined and polished regularly.
But her fighting days are over. She's
serving now as the flagship of Rear Admiral
Felix Gygax, commandant of the First
Naval District.
Destined to be the most famous ship in
the annals of our Navy, the Constitution
was launched in 1897 Her spectacular fight
ing career was climaxed by battle with
the British frigate, Gnerrisre, in 1872.
The captain of the Guerriere had stopped
U. S. merchantmen and written into her
log challenge to any American frigate.
So the Constitution went looking for trouble.
Knockout Punch
lHE two ships clashed 100 miles off Boston.
The Gnsrriers began to blast away, but Capt
Isaac Hull of the Constitution, held his fire
until he was within pistol-shot. Then he
yelled, Now, boys. pour it into themr'
The Consultation fired whole broadside
The Guerriere's masts crashed down and
great holes were torn in her sides. The
battle was over in half an hour.
A few years later peace-loving Ameri-
cans proposed to break the Constitution up.
But Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote his spirit
ed poem, 'Old Ironsides," and no one ever
dared to make such proposal again.
She's symbol of our colossal sea power
an American all the way.

Bright Child Glasses
Planned for D. {.
Elementary Schools

The public schools-always wor.
ried about the crippled, the deaf
the slow pupil-now are tackling 4
new problem-classes for the yer,
bright" child.
I'VE owe these exceptionally
gifted children something, too" Dr.
Carroll r. Reed, in charge Of ele-
mentary schools, said. They ART
the leaders of tomorrow"
On the other hand, DR.. Reed
does not want any children-or
their parents-to have feelings hurt
If they are not among the few to
be picked for the experiment. Sc
wher, he does start his classes he
will do 1t quietly.
Dr.. Reed does not want even the
children chosen to know there is
anything unusual going on.
I'VE can't let them get high hat"
he said.
His plans so far are vague and
depend on getting teachers. Dr..
Reeds chief adviser is Mrs. Flor
ence Rogers. supervising principal OF
the sixth elementary division, who
conducted such classes in two of
her schools from 1882 to 1910.
Glass Of 30 Suggested.
Mrs. Rogers had special classes
for 80 youngsters each in the fifth
and sixth grades. When the expert
ment resumes, she has suggested to
DR.. Reed. that about 80 youngsters In
the third, fourth and fifth grades
be grouped in one class. Fifth and
sixth grade youngsters also would
be grouped together.
These pupils then would take "en-
riched" studies-more reading, more
arithmetic, more art. more geog-
raphy. They would not be "rushed"
or speeded up beyond the routine
classes. but merely would take more
work. They would see art galleries,
put on plays and start class news
papers.
The pupils also would have extra
duties. They would collect. milk
money, watch younger children on
the playground and monitor" the
class when the teacher is out of the
room.
Special Abilities Noted.
Besides unusual intelligence, abil-
ity at one subject-like music-or
an accomplishment such as answer
ing the telephone we'll would qualify
pupils for the experiment.
Mrs. Rogers had to stop her
classes because of personnel short
ages. she said. She had followed the
students progress, and found them
consistent scholarship winners and
leaders in high school and college.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent Of the Board of Education,
praised the plan.
Now the war is over, again we
can pay more attention to these
gifted pupils" she said. Develop
ment of instruction for all types of
children is a main responsibility of
a public school system"

Terminal Leave Bill
Hearing Slated
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Congress will be urged tomorrow
to give enlisted men of all services
the same terminal leave privileges
as their officers.
Hearings on a bill by Representa-
tive Rogers. Democrat of Florida
to extend the leave pay to men in
the ranks. will begin before a SUBJ
committee of the House Military
Affairs Committee.
Under present regulations, officers
receive pay at the end of their serv-
Ice for all leave due them. Enlisted
men do not.
Representative Rogers said he be-
lieves the regulations unfair to
boys who were fighting the same
battle"
1T doesn't matter what it costs -
he said. I'VE didn't ask the cost
when we sent them over there"
The Rogers bill would allow 90
days for enlisted men already dis
charged to apply for their back
leave pay at nearby Offices of their
service branches.

As the House Of Representatives

The question Of responsibility for

the Diet must walt until Monday

reforms.
Miyata declared that the Privy
Council, which walls in the Emperor
should be abolished and its powers
OF approving treaties and advising
the Emperor turned over to an elec-
tive upper chamber of commoners.
The election revision measure as

Fritz Baum, General manager oi
the Ruhr Gas Utility in Essen, was
found drinking champagne with
his wife and two friends. Another
bottle was discovered hidden behind
bookshelves.
A bottle of rat poison was taken
from Walter Eichorst, another di-
rector of August Thyssen. Dr.
Karl Lipp, head Of the purchasing
department of the Hoesch Steel
Works-dressed in a blue and white
nightshirt-picked up a violin and
started to play. He told Scottish
sergeant:
Il am playing for the last time
the slumber song by Weber for my
little son. Ever since he was born
I have played it to him every night"
His wife beat her hands against
the window and shouted, This is
the gravest injustice that could
happen to any man. May God wreak
vengeance on you"
Among the Krupp Works men
arrested were Dr. Erich Muller,
designer for the cannon for the At
lantic wall and the gun and turret
for Hitler's formidable Tiger tanks,
and Karl Eberhardt, chief arma-
ment sales director.
Other industrialists In custody
included such prominent figures in
German heavy industry as Heinz
Gehm, chairman of Deutsche Edel-
stahlwerke; Walter Schwede, direc-
tor of Reichsvereiningrlng Stahl-
werke; Friedrich Won Buelow and
DR.. Edward Hudremont, directors

Industry Backed Nazis.
The British officer, explaining
the arrests, said money and in
fluence of t1e German heavy
industry set Hitler on his road to
power and without it he could
not have succeeded"
The weight of the German heavy
industry was behind the Nazi party
even before its accession to power -
he said, "and the authority and de-
structive ambition of the party be-
fore and during the war years were
to very large extent derived from
the existing strength and ambition
OF German industry"
Once the industrialists had given
their support to Hitler, he said the
interests of German industry and
of the Nazi party were inseparable. Z"
These men have not been arrest
ed because they rose to high rank
in the party" he declared. Many
of them did not. But the under
standing between them and the
Nazis was complete. Their removal
will be welcomed by all enemies of
Nazism and will contribute to pre-
vent the resurgence of the type of
