Education Mission Report
On Japan Sent 10 Byrnes

Simpliflcation of Japans written
language can contribute enormous
ly to the characterization of the
Japanese way of life" Assistant
Secretary of State William Benton
declared today in a letter trans
mitting to Secretary of State Byrnes
a report of the United States Edu-
cation Mission to Japan.
The mission. whose report was
made public from Tokyo on April 6,
recommended that some form of
Romajl-the use of a phonetic sys-
tenn based on the Roman alphabe
instead of Chinese ideographs-be-
brought into common use through
out Japan.
MI. Benton declared that to him
the most striking single element of
the report is this recommenda ton
and the revelation that the literacy
of the japanese people has been
greatly overrated"
His letter to Mr.. Byrnes said DR.
George D. Stoddard. president elect
of the University of Illinois, who
served as chairman of the mission
tells me that the much vaunted
literacy rate in Japan is another

Is Opposed by Dentists
By the Associated Press

The American Dental Association
told Congress today the Nations
dentists are opposed to the admin
istration's compulsory health insur-
ance program bill because they con-
tend it will not improve the dental
health of the country.
DR.. Carly O. Flagstad of Mime
apolis, chairman of the association S
Legislation Committee, outlined the
associations views in a statement
prepared for the Senate Education
Committee.
He asserted dental benefits pro-
vided under the pending legislation
were little more than primitive"
and that it would be impossible to
amend the bill under its present
philosophy"
DR.. Flagstad stated that his asso-
citation believes congressional action
is necessary to improve the coun-
try's dental health, and mentioned
that it was sponsoring two bills
now before Congress which are
aimed at that objective.

Wyatt Says Homes
Twill Be Constructed
For Co|ored Veterans

Wilson Wyatt, national housing
administrator, today assured the
National Builders Association that
colored veterans are not going to be
left out of the veterans housing
program.
Mr. Wyatt was one of the speakers
at Howard University where the
association. an organization of COL
ored builders and trades school
teachers founded at Hampden-
Sidney Institute in 1923, is conduct
ing its annual convention on the
theme of Housing Our Veterans"
The former Mayor of Louisville,
KY, said the housing program was
for veterans - not for white
veterans"
He called attention to a para
graph in the "channeling" order
issued Saturday (channeling mate
rials into homes under S6,500). The
paragraph directs encouragement of
local building for racial minority
groups. giving consideration to their
proportion in the population.
He said it had been too long the
practice to let housing pass down
through the whites to the Negro or
through the whites to poorer whites.
His answer. he said. to those who
wanted freedom to build S25 900
homes on the theory that the pur-
chaser would move out of a home.
which would be occupied in turn by
some one moving out of less desir-
able home, was to call this the
economic trickle system
Furthermore, Mr.. Wyatt said. the
new homes ARE to be built by labor
regardless of race" He said one
third of unskilled construction labor
and only two and one-half per cent
of the skilled tradesmen have been
colored. Il know We all want to see
that increased" said Mr.. Wyatt, and
added that this problem had been
presented as an urgent one in meet
ings with heads of AFL construction
units and was on the agenda of
meetings to come

Small Business
Group Requests
DC. RentCurbs
Commissioners Told
Commercial Prices
Are Skyrocketing

A cross-section of Washington
small businessmen and women to-
day called on the Commissioners
Tor protection against skyrocketing
commercial rents in the city.
LED by J. M. Heiser, president of
the District Federation of Business
mems Associations, they urged the
city heads to reverse the public i'm
preston of their opposition to the
principle of rent ceilings for COM
merciai property which the busi-
,nessmen said was implied in the
Commissioners opposition to the So
called Barry bill last month.
Called Too Difficult.
AT that time the Commissioners
opposed the bill, which would freeze
commercial rents here as of March
l, 1912, as too difficult to administer.
Today they listened to the COM
plants of Is witnesses brought in
by Mr.. Heiser, but took no action.
Mr.. HeiSer said after the confer
ence he could have brought many
others to support the contention
that commercial rents here are ris-
ing from 80 to 600 per cent as the
leases are terminating. He added
that many owners are refusing to
renew the leases in an effort to get
new tenants at vastly higher rents.
One Of the compliments, a bar
Der who has operated for many
years opposite the Willard Hotel
on Fourteenth street, is being forced
to vacate July l for such new
tenant, Mr.. Heiser said.
Rent Boosted $1,000.
A shoe repair shop in the same
block must vacate by the end of the
month, he added, for a new tenant
who will pay an $4,000 annual rent
IN contrast to the present 1900 paid
by the present tenant.
The group included a baker. a
doctor, a voice culture instructor, a
lawyer and other small business
operators
Mr.. HelSer said the businessmen
were supported before the Commits
sioners by Mrs. Leslie B. Wright of
the Federation of Womens Clubs;
John H. Connaughton of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations and
Mrs. Ernest w. Howard of the Co.
lumbla Heights Citizens Association.
