District 10 Study
Nonresident
Pupi|Bi||ing
Officials to Determine
Number Affected
By Vests Ruling
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

District school officials will begin
study soon to determine how
many nonresident boys and girls
now in public schools here will have
to be billed for tuition under the
ruling which prohibits free school
ing of non-residents.
The study had been waiting for
the answer to a new question raised
by School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing-Is a child enrolled in school
when he signs up before the term
begins and shows his intention OF
attending the school?
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West ruled no last week.
Appropriations Act Cited.
A part of the District Appropria-
tions Act for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1948. said that money ap-
propriated for the District could
not be used for education of nom
District residents. 1t provided, how
ever, that the ruling did not apply
to pupils" enrolled In the schools
on the date of the approval of
the act"
Before this, pupils from nearby
areas were allowed to 90 to District
schools free II their parents were
employed In the District or Fed
eral government, or were in the
armed services. Also II the par
ent paid a real estate tax in the
District, it was credited on the tut
ton.
Previous interpretation.
Previous interpretations of the
provision by Mr.. West held that the
intent of Congress was to avoid dis
turbing the tuition status OF pupils
who actually were pursuing educa-
tion in the Districts public schools
before July 25, but to limit the free
education to District residents from
then on.
Some 5000 students from nearby
areas were attending last year, most
of them tuition free under the old
law.
Mr.. Vests new ruling OF when a
student Is enrolled and when he Is
not was the signal for school offi-
cials to, go ahead with the study so
they can bill parents before the term
is over. Just how many students
this will affect is not known,
Reasoning Behind Ruling.
The reasoning behind this ruling
went this way:
Although the dictionary definition
of enrolled is ito enter in a roll or
register, record, as in list or cata-
logue of Names" the courts have
held in past cases that enrolled
children are those who have ac-
tually been in attendance at a par
ticular school during the previous
year."
To cinch it, the opinion pointed
out that the appropriations act used
the language pupils enrolled" and
the dictionary defines pupil as "a
person of either sex or of any age
under the care of teacher"
In other words, even If application
for admission to the schools had
been made before July Is, the ad-
mission was not complete unless the
child had attended either regular
school last year or summer school
before that date.

Tire Prices Increased
By One Manufacturer

One tire and rubber manufac-
turer yesterday announced an in
crease in auto and truck tire prices
effective tomorrow and spot check
of distributors here showed they
expect similar rises for other brands
soon.
General Tire & Rubber Co. in
Akron announced that its wholesale
and retail prices on auto and truck
tires would go up ia per cent, and
those on tractor and industrial pneu-
matte tires would rise S per cent.
At the same time, the Associated
Press reported, authoritative trade
sources predicted that all other rub
Der concerns would follow suit-with
increases running as high as 10 per
cent.
In Washington, distributors for
other tires and tubes said they had
received no official word of definite
increases They had heard, however,
that increases between TX and 8h
per cent were imminent.
One distributor here. asking that

that there would be a period Of
considerable confusion" before
new line of prices is established.
Rubber companies now are facing
charges of, price collusion and in
vestigation of trade practices, and
will be wary of apparent concerted
action. he said. There was similar
confusion when prices dropped in
the spring. he said.
Harry Malasky of Capitol Tire Dis
tributors, said the firm had been
expecting an increase "momentar-
lily" and added that it might come
Monday. ..
Reports have put the range Of in
creases from IN to 1914 per cent.
he said.
Similar comment came from other
dealers.
Rising material and manufactur-
ing costs were listed among reasons
for the increases.

Time Of Broodcosting
Moy Be Cut in Half;
Records RecIussified

Another step toward organization
of a central communications and
complaint bureau at Police Head
quarters will be taken in about two
weeks with the arrival of two radio
control panels.
Police Supt. Robert J. Barrett
said the new equipment, designed
to step up transmission Of calls to
police cars, probably will be In OPP
Grafton before the end of this
month. The radio consoles will be
installed near the telephone oper-
ator's post in the new bureau on the
sixth floor of the Municipal Build
ing and will replace the sending
station now located at the Tenth
Precinct.
When complaint is received by
the telephone operator it will be
written and handed promptly to a
dispatcher, eliminating the neces-
sity of relaying it by telephone to
the Tenth Precinct where another
writing is now required before the
message Is put on the air.
DlSpalcner Nan ElSten IN.
Many emergency calls thus will
be broadcast in half the time now
required. In a hot" case, radio
dispatcher can listen in on the tele-
phone call by means of an extension
phone and give the alarm even while
the call is being received.
In the Central Complaint Room.
all complaints will be routed to a
clerk who will see that they are re-
layed by telephone to the precincts
concerned. thus eliminating confu-
sion which arises now from COM
plainants calling the wrong pre-
cinct.
Another Must" in Maj. Barrett's
new organization, fashioned from q
recommendation by the FBI, will
compel investigating officers to file
a supplementary report within "a
hours after a complaint is received.
This will keep headquarters posted
on developments and insure action
on the part of investigating officers.
it was said.
Following this. investigating off,
GERS must supply reports at least
every 80 days on progress being
made in cases. The limitation on
this has been set at one year for
simple assault and petty larceny
cases, because the statute of limi-
tations makes prosecution imprac-
tical after that time. In more seris
Gus cases, the reports would be kept
alive for as long as three years.
Records Being Reclassified.
Another phase of the new bureau.
the reclassifying of 100000 GRIM
iral records. is about half completed.
twenty-five clark-typists have been
going over the cumbersome records
and wedding out Implications in
setting up master card index.
Maj. Barrett said the operation.
when completed in about five more
weeks, should greatly reduce the
number of cards now filed on GRIM
inals, some running as high as 80
cards per man.
Through the master card plan
it will be possible to identify quickly
criminals whose common names
are easily confused with others.
There will be information on the
cards about the criminals parents,
and other identifying features.
Where possible, such items as draft
card numbers will be included
The files on many criminals, SO
old that the subjects obviously eth
er are dead or have reformed, are
being eliminated.

events during the week to focus at
tention on the Presidents remarks
"Our schools are compelled to Of
fer education of inferior quality
Educationally, manv millions of our
children are underprivileged," Presi-
dent Truman declared.
Rededication Urged.
He continued:
1--WE must act to correct conditions
which sap our National strength and
waste our human resources. We
must prepare our young people tc
understand and perserve their price
less inheritance of freedom. We
must give them the proper climate
for developing intellectual compe-
tence and personal responsibility.
II therefore urge all Americans
to rededicate themselves to the pro-
gram of providing their children
with a sound education. American

A large cafeteria Is operating IN

have been informed by DR.. George
C. Rutland, District Health Ofhcer
DR.. Rutland has been conferring
with the Commissioners for the last
week regarding cafeterias operat-
ing in Government buildings.
According to Edward E. Bailey,
ir., and DR.. Reid r. sAshworth, di-
rector of the BureaiI of Food In
spection of the Health Department,
the cafeteria never has applied for
a license. If it does apply, the
Health Department will reject the
application because the cafeteria
does not conform with regulations,
it was stated.
The cafeteria is operated in the
east wing of the building in a large
room that was built as pistol
range for the Police Department.
1t was started during the war when
the War Department was occupy
ing the building. When the Army
left, the cafeteria continued in busl-
ness with the apparent sanction of
the Commissioners.
Municipal Center officials say Mrs.
Vada Daniels is conducting the
cafeteria on a rent-free basis on
condition that she furnish the equip
ment. They also say the cafeteria
is a great convenience for the thou
sands OF workers in the building.

At this Mr.. Zilch fell into deep
troubling. He had tried all his
life to be a decent man, had done
all the ethical things that the
Laws and the Prophets require Of
a man in the way of being right
eous, but he had to admit it was
quite true that his synagogue life
had been only on Rosh Hashonah
and Yom Kippur.
He replied contritely: eyes,
that was me if you want to call
me that = a Rosh Hashonah and
Yom Kippur Jew" Mr.. Zilch
was feeling deeply humble.
Rabbi Pfeiffer said that since
Mr.. Zilch had been only Rosh
Hashonah and Yom Kippur Jew,
he couldn't expect anything from
the Judge. "You know what
always has been thought of Jews
like you - Rosh Hashonah and
Yom Kippur Jews = two-day
Jews you might say. It's pity
there are so many of you" He
was feeling sorry that he couldn't
promise Mr.. Zilch much when he
came to judgment.
Mr.. Zilch practically gave him
self up as one of those who are
lost at the judgment place. He

forgiving him.
"This other mani" the Judge
went on. "He was always very
busy with the affairs of his life,
earning his living, bringing up his
children in the righteous ways,

bling and falling and rising
again. He was not much in the
synagogue, but he never forgot
his God Even after a whole year
of looking after his own affairs, he
remembered his God in two days.
Should he not be praised for that
and given his just reward for the
two days in which he did not for

remember me the two days!"

recalled that he had scoffed at the
religious concepts of Jews like
Rabbi Pfeiffer. Soon he would
be at the judgment place to
answer for it ALL What could he
say? There, finally, stood Rabbi
Pfeiffer and Mr.. Zilch side by
side. The rabbi drew away from
Mr.. Zilch in a step or two, lest it
might be thought that he and Mr..
Zilch were of the same kind. He
was admonished not to pull away
so far. He protested: "But this

times he seemed too vain-glorious

Mr.. Zilch, the widely known
citizen of this column, had died
and in the course of celestial
events he had come to judgment
in the way described our spiritual
betterS. In other words, Mr..
Zilch had assembled to Paradise,
there to give an account of his
conduct on earth. He wasn't
feeling too sure about the eternal
fate that was awaiting him, for,
religiously, he never had been
one of the active Jews.
AT The Gates
At this moment he was troubled
by an embarrassing comparison
in the presence of the great Rab-
bi Gadaliah Pfeiffer, who had
died the same day as Mr.. Zilch
and was just ahead of him in the
long line that was awaiting to be
admitted to the Everlasting Gates.
AS everybody should know, Rab-
bi Pfeiffer was widely acclaimed
as the Grand Rabbi of Orthodoxy.
His name was carried on the bet
ter brands of kosher foodstuffs for
Endorsement. When a Jew found
Rabbi Pfeiffer'S name affixed to
a salami he could feel it was safe
to eat.
Rabbi Pfeiffer was proud spir-
it as he stood in the long line at
the Everlasting Gates. If only
one of his vast procession of the
newly dead were admitted into
heaven, he knew he would be the
one.
The rabbi felt somehow at
home when he noticed Mr.. Zilch
Immediately behind him.
"a Jew, 1 presume" he said.
Mr. Zilch acknowledged the
Identification. "And, on my
part" he said, Il shall presume
that you are one, also."
He presumes!" exclaimed Rab-
bi Pfeiffer. He proceeded with a
recitation of all the Jewish hon
ors he had gathered on the earth.
He was the one, he said, who was
called Grand Rabbi. Hadn't Mr..
Zilch heard? He was the one
whose signature appeared in ap-
proval of all the best kosher food
stuffs. Hadn't Mr.. Zilch been pa
tronizing the kosher places? He
was the one whose word was like
the sacred law in Jewish circles.
