Tight Public High Race
Promised as Series
OPENS Tomorrow
By Bill Fuchs

The District public high football
race opens tomorrow at $3.50 on
four fronts and if coaches are to
be taken at their word it's going to
be a very colorful season-very
green.
All the coaches say their teams
lack experience, that June gradua-
lions hit heavily and that very
dismal season is in prospect for
them. But by the same token, it
promises to be very exciting race
with only one or two teams appear
ing slightly above average.
Anacostia and Central have been
tagged the power teams" on the
basis of preseason showings, but
Eastern and Tech may be too big
and tough for either of them.
Which puts tomorrows tilt between
Tech and Central at Central in the
limelight.
Coolidge Visits Anacostia.
Anacostia, fielding an all-veteran
line and playing without the services
of its star back, Chow Behaves, will
play host to Coolidge. Bob Faux
ner. who played lot OF end last
wear. will try to fill Behaves shoes
in the wingback slot. Behaves was
injured early this month in an auto
accident and is out for the season.
Roosevelt, which is fielding a
fyweight team-the line averages
less than 100 pounds-upset Mar
tinsburg wv. Va High last week
and the Riders may be brolling
over with enough spirit to scald
a few of their more formidable OPP
ponents. They travel to Western
tomorrow.
Eastern, a 1875 victim of William
Penn High at York, Pa, last week,
can't be counted out because OF its
size. The Ramblers go to Wilson
tomorrow.
Tech Slender Favorite.
IN spite of the fact that Central
will be fielding an experienced back
field made up of f1eet-footed Jimmy
Pantos, Ross Keith, John Roman
and Jack Vert, Tech will rank a
slight favorite at game time on
last weeks warmups. Tech trounced
Blair, 1910, while Central was losing
to John Marshall in Richmond,
14-0.
Eight other scholastic games are
on tap tomorrow. Lane High Of
Charlottesville will travel to George
Washington, 27-6 victor over Mount
Vernon, for a night game at 8
o'clock. Blair will visit Fairfax,
Falls Church will be at Fredericks-
burg playing James Montroe and
Washington-Lee will travel to Hope
well (Va.) High in other after-dark
tits.
Playing in daylight will be Ma
tional Training School at Long
wood, st. Adams at Stuyvesdnt,
Georgetown Prep at Friends and
Dewitt at Richard Montgomery.

7 Supply Houses Boycofted
By NEGRO Dental Society

A boycott of two dental supply
houses here because they sponsored
q course for white dentists assistants
only has been voted by the Robert
T. Freeman Dental Society, 1t was
revealed today.
DR.. M. r. Dean, chairman Of the
Negro society's Executive Committee
said the boycott against the s. S
White Dental Manufacturing Co
here and the w. A. Lockwood Dental
Co. was almost 100 per cent effec-
tive" today. An official of one Of the
supply houses admitted they were
feeling some effects" but said he
believed only a small colored group
was instigating the action.
DR.. Dean said this boycott is not
illegal because it is not directed tC
the public in general but only to the
members of the dentists organiza-
ton.
DR.. Dean said he did not expect
the boycott to continue indefinitely
His committee will meet tonight to
discuss its position at an anticipated
conference tomorrow with repre-
sentatives of the two supply houses
he said.
Invitations to the course were sent
some time ago to members OF the
District Dental Society, a supply
house official said. Reminder" post
cards later were sent Inadvertently"
to colored dentists also, DR.. Dean
said, but reservations were reported

Measure Increasing
Benefits for Veterans
Now Up 10 President
By George Beveridee

Controversial legislation to in
crease benefits for more than
/, 100000 veterans in training under
the CT Bill finally settled at the
White House today, awaiting Pres
ident Truman's signature.
The measure, passed by the House
for the second time late yesterday,
would raise income limits for about
1872 900 on-the-job trainees and give
slight subsistence payment increases
for as many as 100000 part-time
students and $1,000 veterans in on
the-farm training programs.
The pay changes are retroactive
to April l.
Provisions of the bill are the same
as those in a conference report
which the House approved March
8 and sent to the Senate.
Bill Pushed by Morse.
After objections by Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio the upper
chamber refused to consider the
conference report The exact pro-
visions Of the measure won support
last Thursday, however, when Sen
ator Morse, Republican, Of Oregon
pushed the legislation through in
the form of an amendment to an
original Senate bill.
Clearance of the measure was a
victory for members of the House
Veterans Committee, who during
conference sessions, won over Sen
ate objections to granting partial
increases to the farm trainees.
Under the bill, income limits for
job trainees would be raised from
SITS month to $210 for those with
no dependents, from 5000 to $270
if they have one dependent and to
$3.50 if they have more than one.
The trainees get subsistence pay
ments of $65 a month if they have
no dependents and 500 if they do.
The measure provides that the SUBJ
sistence allowances will be cut if the
combined total of wages and subsis-
tence grants exceed the new limits.
Overtime pay would be excluded in
computing the ceilings.

as a veteran. A veteran has prefer
ence over a nonveteran when both
are qualified for the position. The
process of displacing nonveteran Is
known as dumping"
Interior officials argue that Mr..
Gallagher has superior qualifications
for the position. At the same time
they disclaim any concern that Mr..
Bells connection with Mr.. Lewis
would influence him in the position.
Mr.. Bell Is the brother of Mr.. Lewis
late wife.
Mr.. Bells veterans status comes
from service in World War I. Mr.
Gallagher was blocked from serving
in World War II by the Interior De-
partment rating him as indispens-
able and refusing to release him to
the Navy. He had applied for serv-
ice in the Navy and had qualified
for a commission, Interior officials
said.

for more than an hour in an effort
to revive David, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Daryl Porterfeld. He was pro-
nounced dead by DR.. Julius Kauff-
man, who accompanied the rescue
squad to the scene.
Members of the family were un-
able to give any explanation of the
tragedy.
Alice told neighbors she and her
brother we're in the kitchen listen
ing to the radio when her brother
got up and walked into the bath
room, next to the kitchen. When
her brother failed to return, Alice
went to look for him. She pushed
open the bathroom door and saw
him hanging over the tub.
Summoned Young Friends.
Alice ran to the home of a neigh
Dor and summoned Gene and Patsy
Stevens, IA and II years old, re-
spectively. Gene and Patsy also
were home alone as their parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. o. L. Stevens, had
gone with Mr.. and Mrs. Porterfield
to pay their respects to the deceased
mother of a neighbor. Mr.. Stevens
is a Bladensburg town councilman
Alice, Patsy and Gene then ran
back to the Porterfield home. As
soon as Gene saw his friends limp
body hanging from the shower rail
he attempted to telephone for help
but could not reach the operator
because the party line was busy
The children then ran outside and
started shouting for help. Two
neighbors, Paul O'Neal and William
P. McFadden ran over to the Por-
terfield house but found they could
not get inside because the children
had let the door slam and lock when
they ran out to call for help.
Mr.. O'Neal and Mr.. McFadden told
Mr.. Stevens they could see David's
body through the bathroom window
and broke a glass pane in the back
door. Just as they got inside, the
Bladensburg Rescue Squad which
another neighbor had called, drove
up and cut the boys body down.
Parents Learn of Tragedy.
The Porterfields and Stevens did
not learn of the tragedy until they
returned home shortly after 10
o'clock. Mr.. Stevens said they had
left for the funeral parlor together
about 8 pm. and David was hanged
some time between then and 1855
pm. when the rescue squad was
called. He said he saw David before
the two families went out together
and he appeared to be in good
spirits.
Mr.. Stevens said David and his
son Gene were classmates al
Bladensburg Junior High School
Both, he said, were members o1
Scout Troop 2e9 and were proficient
in tying knots. He said David hao
become a first-class scout only last
month. David was a newspaper
carrier.
sMr. Porterfield Is employed as q
machinist at the Navy Yard. He
formerly worked as a bus driver.

One man in the audience jumped

shouted:

emily plan aggression. You also once
said Japan wouldn't 60 to war and
voted against selective service for
that reason"
Senator Taft replied: mo, that
is not true. I voted against the
draft a year and half before we
got into the war and I still think
we could have gotten enough men
under voluntary enlistment at that
point.
Il think the draft was set up
then largely TO make the people

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, April
22.-Student veterans at Puerto Rico
University complained yesterday
that the United States Veterans
Administration had halted student
payments as of April Is.
That was the day after Chancellor
Jaime Benitez ordered the univer-
sity closed following one-day strike
by about half the university's 5000
students.
Mr.. Benitez said yesterday that
no date had been set for resumption
Of classes. There were no incidents,
but students rigged up a public ad-
dress system behind Mr.. Benitez's
home and bombarded him with their
complaints. Police barred the STU
dents from the campus.
(The Panama newspaper La

had taken place in San Juan,
stemming from refusal to per-

(The Associated Press said er-

was made in transcribing the

Banker Says Kaiser
Falsely Said Eaton
Urged Sterilization
BY the Associofsd Press

The President of Otis & Co. head.
ed into his third day of testimony
today on the collapse of 10000, ,00C
Kaiser Frazer stock offering.
william r. Daley, head of the
Cleveland Banking firm, yesterday
told the Securities and Exchange
Commission that testimony given
earlier by Henry J. Kaiser, head OF
the motor company, was mot cor
rect"
The SEC is looking into the with
draWal of Otis and the First Cali
fornia Co. of San Francisco from
an agreement to sell 100000 shares
of Kaiser Frazer stock.
Mr.. Daley declared Mr.. Kaiser
was wrong in saying that Cyrus
Eaton of the Otis firm had sug-
gested sterilization of the Kaiser
Frazer stock.
On February 8, the automobile
firm bought 10000 shares Of its
own stock on the New York Curb
Exchange at a cost Of about $2,-
500, 900.
Mr.. Kaiser testified on April IL,
the day the public investigation
started, that this stabilization pur-
chase had been made on Mr.
Eaton's advice.
Mr.. Daley said Mr.. Eaton had
made no such suggestion and that
it had been first advanced by Mr..
Kaiser.
ANY stabilization tends some
what to affect market price. 1t
was against our own interest to
have stabilization occur" he said.
Earlier in the session Mr.. Daley
testified that James F. Masterson,
a Philadelphia lawyer who had filed
a suit against Kaiser-Frazer on
February 8, in Detroit, once had
been retained by the Otis firm.
The Masterson suit provided the
basis for the bankers withdrawal
from their contract to sell the stock.
Charles M. Walton, jr., Kaiser
Frazer attorney, testified last week
that the Masterson suit was
"phoney."
