Mr.. Stienem asked: Didn't
she lMiss Mustapha) join with
others in sending a letter blasting
the board and criticizing the board
and not only that but out Of chan
InelS?"
Rudeness Issue Raised.
''This is not gestapo," Mrs.
Williams said. Educators have a
right to disagree with us. It wasn't
a rude letter"

Mr.. Stienem answered.
Mr.. Lee put in: 1T was a de-

ton Of the rules
DIR. Corning told board men,
bers that he and DR.. Garnet c.
Wilkinson, first assistant super
intendent, had interviewed Mr..
Mattingly and Miss Mustapha and
found no disposition on their
part" that it would not happen
again.
DIR. Corning said it was solely
on the point of breaking the rules
that the reprimands were given.
7 have in mind rules of the
Board of Education that are being
broken right now" Mrs. Will
liams declared. "Dr. Corning
knows it, too."
DR.. Cannon leaned forward and
asked: rs that the rule about no
smoking on school property" He
was waving big black cigar at
the time.
YES" Mrs. Williams snapped.
Mr.. Steinman, also a cigar
smoker, expressed the opinion that
he thought Franklin Administra-
tion Building was exempt and
then the board voted to file the
letter and that was that.
Lee Charges Bungling.
But, Mr.. Lee brought out that
"a link trainer at Western High
School had been disrnounted and
stored in hallway to make room
for the mementos from the now
|defunct Central High School, DR..
Corning'S alma mater.
Further, he revealed, it now
wouldn't work and one from
Roosevelt High School was being
moved over to replace it. He de-
|clared:
Its sad commentary on poor
judgment somewhere. The matter
was badly bungled. It is a waste
OF public funds-no right to take
link trainer in active condition,
dismount it to make room for
the archives of a school which no
longer exists"
Mrs. Williams chimed in: Can
an alumni association occupy
rooms in the school system
permanently when they have gone
out of the system?"
Mr.. Sharpe commented that. if
enrolment at Western High keeps
dropping, that probably will be
the only use we will make of
it." And that ended that.
DR.. Cannon introduced reso-
luton to abandon the system OF
meeting once a month and the
board voted to- return to the
system used prior to January OF

District Court Judge James r..
Kirkland today sharply rejected

ordered a six-man, six-woman
jury to remove that statement

Mrs. Justa Jones, who is bring
ing the suit against Mrs. Gertrude
Lamont Saltzman Jones, told a
jury she was practically starv-
ing"
you've seen her here" Judge
Kirkland told the jury, referring
to the attractive. 47-year-old di-
yorcee. I'm instructing you TO
remove that statement from your
minds"
Mrs. Justa Jones statement
came during crosS-examination by
Defense Counsel Edward Bennett
Williams.
The complainant seeks $500, 900
for the theft of her husbands
love. The ex-husband, Matthew

Mrs. Gertrude Jones is the

der President Hoover and for
merly was married to Charles
Saltzman, one-time top-level State
Department official and financier.
The name of Clare Boothe Luce,
playwright and former Represent

tered the testimony.
Mrs. Justa Jones told the jury
that she had once found a num-
ber of letters from Mrs. Luce to
her husband.
But she hastened to add, under
cross-examination, that she didn't
consider her husbands friendship
with Mrs. Luce to be anything
but platonic.

support of many Of these organiza-
tions. and if a sentence can be
lifted out of a text which can be
interpreted as pink or red, it is
used as an argument that COM
munism is being taught in the
schools he continued.
"In most cases, a careful read
ing of the entire text will change
the meaning of the sentence
entirely" he said, taking a rap at
Mr.. Lees practice OF lifting para
graphs and sentences out of tex
to back up his textbook allega-5
tionS.
He said he read criticisms of the
American Government" text
book by the writer for the "Educa-
tional Reviewer"
II found them to be carping,
picayune and without foundation
when they were studied as a part
of the text and not as ioslated

went before and afterward."
He said a well-known educa-
tional magazine. "The Nations
Schools" said the Educational
Reviewer" from which Mr.. Lee
obtained some of his information,
quotes from one of ten publica-
tions which are front organiza-
tions for the enemies of public
education in America"
DR.. Cannon said he concluded
the teachers in the District schools
are good Americans who hate
communism; that the board
should depend on their Judgment.
Mr.. Lee said he wanted it un-
derStood he was not criticising
the teachers and that some have
told him they had to apologize
for using the books" in the class
rooms.
THE matter is of greatest i'm
portance to the CITY," Mr.. Lee
declared. There is nothing sac
religious or improper to oppose
the superintendent. I never pre-
tended to be an educator"
Hall Calls for Vote.
Woolsey w. Hall interjected: |:
May we vote?"
Mrs. E. C. Magdeburger said
she sent five children through
school and she didn't believe
school children could read into
the textbooks all the interpre-
tations Mr.. Lee found. The
teachers must do the interpreting,
she added.
May we vote?" Mr.. Hall asked.
Mr.. Sharpe said he didn't want
to cut off the discussion if any,
one had anything to say, and
Albert E. Stienem declared:
1T Is necessary, in running a
school system. that the work must
be allocated down the line-to let
Others do the reviewing of books.
Where we have a committee to
review the books, we are going far
afield If we. as a board, do not
accept the Judgment of these

Mr.. Steinem said he felt the
report of the textbook committee
should be taken at face value,
unless fault was found with the

Court Sets Gas Refund
Interest at 5a6, 10 Aid
In Repayment Details

HMing awarded consumers
per cent interest. totaling about
$50, 900. on their pending gas over
charge refunds. Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough will help lawyers
thrash out remaining details in
the case on April 10.
Among these will be the refund
ing method to be used to get the
I$1.2 million overcharges accumu-
lated in the last II months back
to consumers by August /.
The judges decision yesterday
marked the semi-finals of the gas
rate controversy, which started in
District Court a year ago.
At that time, Vernon ". Baker
acting in behalf of 175,000 gas
consumers. successfully petitioned
Judge Goldsborough to set aside
a $750,000 yearly rate increase
granted Washington Gas Light Co
by the Public Utilities Commits
sion IN November, 1949.
Computation at Issue.
A big issue remaining to be set
tied by the court is whether the
refunds will be computed by av-
!eraging the overcharges of various
blocks of consumers, or whether
each bill will be figured out pre-.
|cisely and individually.
The company favors the former
system. Attorney C. Oscar Berr,
produced testimony that the BLOCK
method is simpler and vastly less
costly. William A. Roberts. whit
represents Mr.. Baker. insisted yes.

At conclusion of arguments
Judge Goldsborough commented
|he felt Mr.. Roberts regarded thu

both parties will make every eff,

On the question of counsel fee,

said.
Representative Gore, Democrat
of Tennessee. a member of the
Appropriations Committee, dis
closed that he has asked Treasury
Secretary Snyder to answer some
pertinent questions raised by the
Senate committee report.
In a letter to Mr.. Snyder, Mr.
Gore said there are indications
that Treasury Department prac-
tices would easily permit these
criminal overlords to get by with
the filing Of fraudulent" tax re-
turns.
He asked Mr.. Snyder If this is
true and, If so, why.
At a time when millions of
Americans are fretting about their
tax returns, Mr.. Gore told Mr.
Snyder, 1t is disturbing to dis
cover. as the Senate committee
claimed, that criminal overlords'
get by with filing general state
ments of income and expenses
minus the details required OF
average individuals.
Also, Mr.. Gore asked, how is 1t
that small business men are re-
quired to keep detailed records but
gangsters apparently don't have
| to?
Because gangsters normally
transact their business exclusive
ly in cash." Mr.. Gore suggested,
the Treasury should consider
halting its practice Of printing
money in large denominations.

BY the Assoeicied Press

Plans for financing a fresh
Treasury drive against gangsters
who evade taxes were disclosed
yesterday by members of the
House Appropriations Committee.
They predicted that the In
ternal Revenue Bureaus budget
for the next fiscal year would
be raised substantially with the
understanding that racketeers will
be singled out as targets for a
tax enforcement campaign.
A bill providing appropriations
for the Treasury Department for
the year starting July l is due to
reach the House floor this month.
Funds Seen Sufficient.
Appropriations Committee men,
bers. who declined to permit use
Of their names. said it will pro-
vide more than enough" money
to vigorously enforce the tax
laws, particularly with respect to
gangsters."
The committees interest in A.
nancial activities Of the under
world was heightened by a Senate
Crime Investigating Committees
report saying in effect that "gang-
sters. mobsters and gamblers are
literally getting away with murder
in their tax returns"
Snyder Questioned.
The Treasury issued a statement
last night contending that it had
made a vigorous effort to crack
down on tax frauds by the under
world. Investigations of gamblers
and racketeers in 1850, it said,
turned up $24 million in "addi-
tional taxes and penalties which
were proposed for assessment" ;"
