Corning Asks Backing
Of Trade Board for
III. ). Loan for Schools

DR.. Hobart M. Corning, superin-
tendent of schools. has called on the
Board OF Trade to support the pend
ing project for loan from the Fed
eral Government to finance a five
year school building program here.
He told the trade body's Education
Committee in the Burlington Hotel
yesterday the accumulation of needs
for more buildings here is so great
it should not be met out OF current
annual appropriations.
Part-time education where chill
dren go to school only half a day
is on the increase, he warned.
Sees Tensions Growing.
Tensions are developing here"
he declared, land are going to be-
come more intense and more acute
unless the situation is met and met
quickly.
washington is not going to avoid
serious trouble which lies ahead, un-
less this problem is solved"
To wait for congressional authori-
cations and appropriations each
year will be too long to avoid the
tensions" he asserted.
The proposal for a long term loan
from the Federal Government has
been presented formally to the Dis
trict Commissioners by the Board of
Education, DR.. Corning explained.
He told the trade board commit
tee that precedent for such a loan
to the District existed in the So
| called Capper- -Cramton Act, under
which loans were made to ting Dis
trict for purchase of park lands.
Repayments were being made wear
by year, he said.
Pointing to what he characterized
as faulty distribution of schools
throughout the city, with too many
IN the central area, DR.. Corning
threw out the suggestion that no
more great housing developments
should be authorized with 1000
dwelling units or more, unless
schools can be built to take care of
the children in those areas.
1T Is a terrific situation he
charged, when here, in the Ma
tion's Capital, it Is necessary for
some 1000 pupils to 60 to school only
half day."
The teacher shortage also still "is
with us, "%Dr. Corning said, but he
hoped that more applicants might
be coming in for the next examina-
ton. More candidates are applying
for temporary positions, he re-
ported.

Charging that District landlords

the Building Owners and Managers
Association of Metropolitan Wash
ington today called on Rent Con-
troll Administrator Robert F. Cogs-
well to grant Is per cent rent in
creases here.
The association, which said Mr.
Cogswell had the power to grant
such increases, asked that it be
done either through a fiat across
the-board increase, or through the
"permissive agreement clause" in
effect in the rest of the country.
The protest made by the associa-
ton is similar to earlier ones made
by the Board of Trade and the Home
Builders Association of Metropolitan
Washington.
Mr.. Cogswell said he has had
"the whole matter under consider
alton" since the first protest was
voiced, and that he plans to answer
the association next week.
Meanwhile, E. M. Willis and Sons,
owners of buildings containing 112

SNYDER Denies Breach
OF British Loan Terms
By the Associated Press

Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
declared emphatically today that no
agreement violating any terms OF
the British loan agreement was
made at United States-British eco
nonic conferences last week.
Thumping his desk and raising
his voice, Mr.. Snyder told a news
conference repeatedly:
1--WE didn't make any kind OF
agreement, informal, implied, gen.
tlemen's or otherwise, that would
violate the loan agreement"
The Treasury Secretary described
as "a breathing spell" the permis-
sion given Britain during the talks
to suspend loan agreement clause
recurring that Britain pay current
trade debts to other countries in
dollars instead Of pounds.
Mr.. Snyder added that the British
had promised to restore such pay
ments in dollars "as quickly as pos
sible.'
The Secretary also said he will
leave September on the liner
Queen Elizabeth to attend the World
Bank and World Monetary Fund
annual meeting in London Septem-
Der l1-19, but he will not negotiate
"on any loan" to any country dur
ing that time.

Beer for Infant

An opinion on the legality OF

the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board.
A, policeman reported he saw a
waitress in Washington restaurant
serve two large glasses of beer and
one little glass to couple with
baby.
The date was August 6, two days
after Corporation Counsel Vernon
Vests ruling that it is legal for
minors to drink beer or liquor in
licensed places providing the drinks
are served to an accompanying adult
who orders and pays for them.
Alan w. Payne, chairman of the

side the scope of Mr.. Vests ruling
in that the policeman reported that
the beer was served directly to the

Again Seek 10 Bar

Ask ice to End Joint Fare
With Capitol Transit on
Trips to Pentoeon, Anne,
By the Associofed Press

The Washington, Virginia &
Maryland Coach co. and the Al
exandria, Bancroft & Washing
ton Transit Co. renewed today
an effort to end their transfer
arrangement with Capital Tran
sit CO. for committing between
Washington and nearby Virginia
points.
The two bus lines, In proceedings
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, asked for cancellation
of the "jeint fare" established dur
ing the war for multiple rides be-
tween the District and the Penta-
gon, Navy Annex and other mill
tary-naval installations in Airing
ton County
The joint fare, IL one-way trips
for $3.50, or 1919 cents trip, was
established by ICC order in Janu-
airy 1914 at the request of the Sec
retaries of War and Navy. BY agree
ment, 5.83 cents of the fare for each
ride went to Capital Transit and
rs cents to the Virginia bus com
pany involved.
Capital Transit Withdrew.
Capital Transit at the time also
was operating bus service to the
military installations in Virginia.
With the termination of hostilities, ii
discontinued this service into vir-
ginia and served notice on the ICC
it was cancelling the joint fare or
transfer arrangement with the other
companies.
When the commission refused to
recognize such cancellation, Capital
Transit took two actions:
It served notice on the w. v. &
NJ. and A. B. & w. lines that it would
demand 10 cents as its portion OF
the Joint 1913 cent fare; and
It filed suit in District, Court to
compel the ICC to permit cancella-
ton of the transfer arrangement

Municipal Judge Ellen x.
Raedy today was charged with

August 10 involving her auto
mobile.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark King announced his Office
had drawn up information in the
case and notified Judge Raedy's at

fore ll:30 am. Mr. Ford revealed
earlier today that he had been re-

NAKED an eight-day investigation
into the question of who was driv-
ing the car which struck a parked
Cadillac owned by Mrs. Elizabeth
Wimbish, 910 First street NV. The
inquiry was opened by the Police
Accident Investigation Unit and
turned over to Mr.. King, who has
questioned host of witnesses.
Judge Raedy has maintained that
she was not even in the car but had
lent it to friend the night of the
accident and was in her Dorchester
House apartment all evening.
To Be Arraigned Tomorrow.
Judge Raedy will be arraigned at
10 am. tomorrow before Traffic
Judge Nadine L. Gallagher, the
only other woman judge on Dis
trict bench.
Mr.. Ford said he would enter a
plea of not guilty. would ask trial
date as soon as possible and would
accept without contest any judge
sitting on the bench at the time.
| Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West told reporters he had approved
the filing of charges because the
informal hearings held throughout
the past week had produced s
"prima facie case
II approved the filing of charges
because there seemed to be enough

evidence to justify the matter be-
ing decided in the courts" he said.
Filling Station Man Reported Crash.
The police investigation began
when Hilton Rheubottom, 38. col
ored, night manager of filling
station at 919 First street NV,
reported seeing Judge Raedy's car.
1916 Buick convertible coupe, nick
the tenders of a car parked near
First and K streets NV, and drive
on without stopping. Questioned in
MI Kings Office, Mr.. Rheubottom
said he believed the driver was Judge
Raedy.
Since the accident did not involve
injury to a person, Judge Raedy
will not be entitled to a jury trial.
The charge is a misdemeanor and
the maximum penalty is 500 fine
or 80 days in jail, or both.
1t is probable that Judge Gala
CHER, whose term as Traffic Court
judge expires August 81. will be of
that bench before the case Is heard.
In that event, her successor, Judge
Walter j. Casey, is the prospective
iurist. The traffic assignment ro-
tates among the Municipal Court
judges. :,
Mr.. King told reporters he would
