u. ). Forbids ATTEMPTS
To Organize Japs in
Undemocratic Groups.
BY the kssocioted Press

TOKYO, May 29.-The United
States today bluntly warned
minority groups which seek to
undermine democracy against
attempting to organize the Jap
anese. Just two weeks ago it
said just as bluntly it does not
want communism in Japan.
Both warnings came from George
Atcheson, jr., American chairman
of the Allied Council for Japan
He told the group:
I'VE do not want to see the Jap
anese people once more lined up
In columns, clothed in uniforms and
regimented in any kind of totali-
tarlanism thought.
THE Potsoam declaration calls
for democracy in Japan. No mat
ter how you spell democracy, you
cannot make the word 'totalitarian-
ism out of its nine letters"
His statement came as he ex-
planned to the council that he was
unable to subtantiate allegations
made in an unsigned Japanese May
day message which charged that
"reactionary elements" had inter-
fered in the April elections and
that some of Gen. MacArthur's di-
receives had been flouted.
Communists Claim 1000.
He said he received a second mes
sage stating the allegations were
stern facts" That message was
signed, Mr.. Atcheson asserted, by
known Communists or persons
known to be under Communist in
fluence."
Noting that the Communist Party
claims membership of only 1000 |
in Japan, Mr.. Atcheson said "Ac-
cordingly it seems clear that we have
seen in process something of the
organization or attempted organi
zation of the masses by an aggressive
minority through customary tactics
employed in other countries with
view to expanding their power along
totalitarian lines.
The United States does not wish
to see the japanese organized by
minority"
Both the British and Chinese
delegates agreed with Mr.. Atchesonis
statement.
The Russian delegate. 1t. Gen
Kuzma Derevyanko. fourth member
of the council. said it wasn't his in
tention either to defend or reject
the May Day statement; he was ask
ing the council to investigate it. He
indicated he was not satisfied with
Mr.. Atchesons reply that the
charges could not be substantiated.

a study now being made by a COM
mittee headed by Col. Joseph D.
Arthur, assistant engineer COM
missioner.
Col. Arthur and Highway Di-
rector H. C. Whitehurst, who spoke
before Gen. Young, agreed that it is
time a report to end reports" was
made.

Nov is the time for action
Capt. Whitehurst said.
Col. Arthur said he hoped his
committee would complete the COM
bined report within the next 80
days.
Representative Stefan, Republican,
of Nebraska, told board members
and guests who included the three
District Commissioners, that Wash
ingtonians have "the best governed
city in the United States" but that
residents should take more interest
in local affairs.
He predicted that District taxes
would be increased and that the
Federal payment to the District also
would be augmented.
Gen. Grant Speaks.
Maj. Gen. u. S. Grant Sd, chair
man of the National Park and Plan

measure of traffic congestion to the
fact many cars straddle lane lines

A few of the guests who were
called on by DR.. H. C. Dickinson
chairman of the board, to make briei
remarks.
George E. Keneipp, the Districts
new director of vehicles and traffic
and formerly manager of the Key

planned to reinstate time limits or
registration of out-of- State cars and
predicted District registrations would
increase sharply if this were done.
Violations Bureau Indorsed.
Metropolitan Police Supt. Harvey
G. Callahan was backed up by Com
missioner John Russell Young in
saying it is discouraging for traffic
policemen to impose collateral on
traffic violators only to have the sum
drastically reduced by the courts.
This comment came after the
board had voted in favor of setting
UP central violations bureau where
police could check motorists on past
violations and require repeaters to
post increasingly large amounts of
collateral. The resolution also
called for the courts to decide the
amounts of collateral to be posted
rather than the Commissioners.
Capt. Mark Raspberry of the
park police told the board he is
conducting a campaign to get tour
lists in Washington to lock their
cars to prevent theft of personal

And that's enough If the teacher

There is one extremely important
point about homework which all
teachers and parents should observe
meticulously. All assigned work
must be seen, corrected, returned
discussed by the teacher either in
class or in personal interview
Homework that the teacher never
sees is threat to his own prestige
authority and leadership. Children
lose faith in the teacher who as
signs lot of work which they faith
fully do and which he tosses into
the waste basket. And monitors
alone will not do. They can check
on the work returned, but the teach
er must correct and review each pa
per. That works for good two ways
it holds the pupils faith and it re-
ducss the amount of work and the
kind, that the teacher assigns.
When two or more teachers are
assigning work to the same pupils
they must confer and so avoid
piling work on the helpless pupils
The night composition is to be
written, no maps should be made
and when long poem or sonnet
must be memorized a long history

Watch Homework
By A ngeio Pafri

Homework makes more trouble for
teachers, children and parents than
any number of other school GUS
toms. Some parents want the chill
dren to have a lot of homework to
keep them quiet evenings so they
won't disturb their father. The OBJ
liging teacher agrees. Some teach
ers look down the long scroll of the
terms work and get into a panic
Il can't possibly cover this in school
They will have to do a lot of home
work" When three and four teach
ers of major subjects do this imagine
what happens to the conscientious
student.
Homework should be assigned with
the idea of strengthening the in
struction already given. A few, very
few, points given to accent the new
work should be assigned. Words
should never be written more than
three times-once for form, once for
spelling, once for drill. After three
or at most five times, the writing is
taken over by the automatic process
and no learning is done. Three

The older students can do more
homework. Again, the few points
necessary to be accented are all that
is needed. Two hours work is the
limit for high school students, three
quarters of an hour for elementary
pupils, Is minutes for children in
the first three years of the ele-
mentary school. When students ir
nigh school sit up until morning te
do homework, they cannot do class.

Right About Face
By Jane CLARK

Spring is In the air. First thing
you know the robins will be chirpine
outside your window. Thatu be the
morning when you'll wake up and
feel as If things are in order for a
rightabout face. You'll run to your
closet and survey your last spring
wardrobe. You'll dig in the hatbox
for bright bit O. bonnet. THEN
you'll about face to the mirror
What's wrong with that reflection?
What's wrong with your powder
too whitish, maybe? Did you ac-
tually wear that blatantly bright OF
dreary dark lipstick all winter long?
Oh, dear-everything's ALL wrong
and here's a beautiful spring day
the very first, and you did want to
feel your most beautiful to keep up
with this rightabout face of the
weatherman's. Now, all the lift is
gone!
Well, my girl, no point in going all
through the balmy days of sunshine
ahead, bored with yourself and your
looks. So set off to discover what
to do about such a predicament.
First of all you wander up to a
cosmetic counter. Whats new?"
you ask despondently. The sales
girl spreads some folders out before
you. These are all new" she SAYS.
You brighten. There's a new make
up-new as the change in the
weather! It's a luminous affair
which, while it gives a beautiful
natural sheen to your complexion
has nothing greasy about it. There S
a luminous film, too, which the
salesgirl tells you does the same
thing for your now smiling counte-
nance, except that it's a bit lighter
| in texture. But, the marvel of all
this makeup lies In the throat and
neck makeup which is made in
matching blends. This connection
does not rub off. That means no
more smoochedup blouse collars, no
more powdery look on that favorite
navy blue dress of yours. This is
IT!
Next you spy row of lipsticks
and rouges. They're gay and bright,
or soft and pinkish. Don't look bit
like yours looked this morning. The
saleSgirl tells you about one of the
creme rouges. It's been whirled into
a little container and looks for all
the world like pink and red daubs
OF whipped cream. 1t turns out that
it's called "parfait rouge"-so you
weren't far off at thatl It's whipped
into the lightest consistency imag-
Unable and spreads just like cream
Well, maybe you never have used
creme rouge before. Isn't now the
time for rightabout face? Any
way how can you resist anything as
delectable looking as this?
We'll, if that doesn't sound like
something gathered from spring
