Corning and Sharpe
Urge Establishing Of
Public College Here

School Supt. Robart M. Corning
and c. Melvin Sharpe, president
Of the Board Of Education. Joined
last night in calling for a pub
licly operated college here with a
general curriculum.
The school officials also agreed
that teacher-training facilities OF
the District are completely made
quate.
1--WE need two new teachers
colleges comparable to State col
leges," Mr.. Sharpe said. "The
District pays more into the Fed
eral Treasury than a number OF
States, and there is no reason
why it shouldn't have teacher
colleges Of the standard OF the
States institutions.
DR.. Corning said the Wilson and
Miner Teachers Colleges are in
adequate as to buildings. size OF
faculty and curriculum. He point
ed out that they give only bach
elor degrees, hence are unable
to fit a teacher for work In Dis
trict high schools, where a mas
ter's degree is required.
Cites Temporary Instructors.
The District still shares in the
national teacher shortage, DR..
Corning said and there are ap-
proximately 400 public school In
structors here on temporary as
signment filing regular positions
although they do not have the
qualifications for such regular jobs.
DR.. Corning said there was no
reason why students here shouldn't t
have the opportunity. too, OF a
general college education in the
public school system.
In any of the States, young
people have a choice Of a number
of public institutions OF higher
education" he pointed out. "and
many large cities maintain mu-
nicipal colleges"
DR.. Corning SalQ ne Is WORKING
on a plan to provide two years Of
public school work above the high
school level here. He said this
would not mean a Junior college
system altogether. inasmuch as
special attention would be given
to technical training to fit stu
dents for positions Immediately on
completion of the course, If they
did not plan to go on to college.
Participate in nv Discussion.
Mr.. Sharpe suggested that such
courses properly could be keyed
to the demands Of Government
jobs and to the requirements OF
civil service examinations, mas
much as "the greatest career field
for our young people here is Gov
ernment."
DR.. Corning and Mr.. Sharpe
joined with Mrs. James Cox, pres
ident of the District Congress Of

no retirement"
Mr.. Truman paid special tribute
to the councils founder and re-
firing president, Mrs. Mary
Mcleod Bethune. He told her
that her leadership would forever
be an inspiration to those who
seek to carry forward the noble

been devoted"
In the course Of time," he said,
II am sure that the same patience,
the same tolerance and the same
respect for individual differences
that enabled the 13 States to be-
come the United States Of Amer
lea, will lead to the fulf1llment Of
the ideals expressed In the United
Nations charter.
Referring to his program to
assist underdeveloped countries
through capital investment and
chronological aids, Mr.. Truman
warned that political independ-
ence has little meaning If 1t Is

Liquor License Loss
Called 'S50,000 Fine

If the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board should revoke the Ii
cense Of Jacob Rubin, proprietor
of the Embassy Liquor Store, 1925
Mount Pleasant street NV, the
board in fact would be assessing
a fine Of between $25, 900 and $50.-
900, the board was told at a hear
ing yesterday by F. Joseph Dono-
hoe, attorney for Mr.. Rubin.
Mr.. Donohoe said this is the
value Of a license for a Glass A
store, for the sale Of all kinds of
packaged alcoholic beverages. To
deprive his client Of his license
would mean Mr.. Rubin's entire
life savings would be wiped out,
Mr.. Donohoe argued.
Mr.. Rubin appeared before the
board on charges that he accepted
numbers bets in his store last
March. He was tried in District
Court on June q and was SEN
fenced to serve from one to three
years in jail and pay a fine of $500.
He was later placed on probation
but paid the fine.
Mr.. Rubin said he accepted the
bets from a member of the Vice
Squad for a bookmaker who lived
in the building over his store and
only took the bets as a favor to
the policeman. whom he believed
was an employ of nearby drug
store.
Mr.. Donohoe suggested the
board suspend the license for
time, instead of revoking it. with
the stipulation that Mr.. Rubin
sell the store at the expiration of
the suspension. The board took
the case under advisement.
