LIONS HEAR
HENRY TOY
One of Founders of Council
For Delaware Education
Addresses Club
FOR BETTER SCHOOLS

The Smyrna Lions Club heard a
talk by Henry Toy, Wilmington,
one of the founders of the Council
for Delaware Education, and
purchasing agent for the dupont
Company, on the purposes of the
council, one of which is the pro-
noting of educational legislation.
He explained that two years ago,
a group of citizens, seeing the need
for improvements in Delaware as
to sanitation, space, teachers,
formed the council, members of
which are representatives of vari-
Gus civic, religious, and service or
ganizations in the state. They be-
gan an evaluation of the schools,
briefed the laws, and printed q
booklet, which was dedicated to the
first polio victim in this state. At
ter a survey of 1854 schools by wo-
men members of the American AS
sociation of University Women
alarming information was revealed
In many cases sanitary facilities
were shocking, there were 2e
schools with no light, some with
kerosene lamps. The high birth
rate trend will lead to serious over
crowding by 1858 when it is figured
that the school population will be
25 percent above 2 years ago. He
spoke of the unstable school ad.
ministration set-up, and of the diff
ference between special districts
and state board units. He outlined
the proposed legislation, which ha;
been approved by the State Boart
of Education and will be submitted
to the legislature in their name. i
would cover reorganization of ad
ministrative units, standardizt
school terms, improve teachers
salaries, make more liberal the
pension law. He cited the cost and
.-Zavs to provide for increased ex-
tJthditures for these improvements
He stressed the Importance of moi
losing sight of our neighbors
children who may not have as gooc
conditions as ours, saying the.
might some day live next door"
and he urged the Lions to get be
hind the program for bette
schools for our children" The re
sponse was made by Frank Green
well. Robert Dunning read an in
vitation from the Twentieth Ger
tury Club to attend an open meet
ing to be held on Friday, Januar

Senate Unit Weighs
Bill 10 Limit Taxis
After D. T.. Backs Plan

A senate DlSCrlCC subcommittee
has under consideration today a
bill to limit taxicabs in Washing
ton. after hearing lengthy testi-
mony yesterday on the proposal.
Senator Frear, Democrat, of
Delaware. subcommittee chair
man, said he could not predict
what action his unit will take.
He plans to confer soon with
Chairman McGrath Of the Sen
ate District Committee on the
matter.
Principal contention Of pro-
ponents was that drivers are hav-
ing hard time making a living.
because there are too many taxis
here, stiff competition. part time
drivers and low rates. No increase
in rates has been granted since
1912. witnesses emphasized
| Opponents contended limitation
of cabs would be unfair to the
individual owner-operator, might
lead to big groups getting control
of licenses, and would prevent
new persons from entering the
business. They also said rentals
on cabs would be about tripled.
James H. Flanagan. Public Util-
tiles Commission chairman. testi-
fed conditions have changed from
two years ago. when he opposed
such a measure, and now he be-
lieves it would be a desirable,
favorable bill" Under the meas
ure. the PUG would set the limit
on the number of cabs.
Reporting total of 7,748 lie
enses issued to hackers as OF July
II, he estimated Washington had
more cabs per 1000 population
than any other city. and rates
here generally are more favorable
to riders than elsewhere.
Speaking for the District Com
missioners, Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West said the city
heads would favor the bill with
some minor amendments.
Two proponents of the bill diff
fered widely on details OF the ousl-
ness as it exists today.
Edwin A. Glenn. president OF
National Transportation Co.. Inc,
operating the Silver Fleet OF taxis.
said the industry today Is in
far greater crisis and more
chaotic condition" than 1t was
when, as leader of the cab
drivers, he called a cab strike in
June, 1945. Some drivers he
charged have been driven to act as
procurers and bottleggers to make
living.
Jack H. Roger. jr.. president OF
the Combined Cab Service. Inc,
denied this. Drivers. ne EN-
phasized, do not attempt to sell
liquor today" and. he added. Not
one man out Of 100 drivers even
knows where a woman Is avail
able"

Allies Sco|d Germany
For Armament Stories
by the Assoeiotsd Pres,

BONN, Germany. Dec. 9.-The
Western Allied High Commission
has '1et it be known" informally
that it disapproves recent Ger
man government statements on
possible German rearmament.
This was learned from authori-
tative sources last night.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
has said several times recently
he does not want the formation
of a new German army, but
would consent If the Allies in
sisted and if it were to be part
of an overall Western European
army. His government is pledged
to ban the recreation Of German
armed forces.
The West German President,
Theodor Heuss, said yesterday
that he objected to the forma-
ton of a. German army, and even
speculation about it. He said in
an interview that constant talk
of an army raised the danger
that the world would get accus-
toned to the idea Of German re-
militariZation.
The Allied view is understood
to have reached DR.. Adenauer
through circles close to him, and
not directly. The informal ap-
proach was taken, 1t is under
stood, to avoid jeopardizing
otherwise harmonious relations
between the government and the
representatives = of the United
States, Britain and France.

executor of an estate near Cul-
