New Report Cards May Grade
D. c. Teachers Closer, Too

Washington school teachers
may. get a new kind of report
card.
Teachers-like pupils get
graded. In the teachers case,
the grade is either satisfactory"
or unsatisfactory" Most of the
time it's the former.
The Board of Education yes
terday decided to give the teach
er-rating system a once-over,
however. Some members indi-
Gated they favored some changes
and one suggested following the
Army as a model.
The subject came up when
Supt. Hobart M. Corning pro-
posed doing away with ratings
for most teachers altogether.
Until two years ago. teachers
each year received elaborate rat
ing sheets. on which they were
marked on Is different items.
But teacher organizations and
officials decided this was too
complicated. The board then
ordered a simplified system
the one used at present.
DR.. Corning said yesterday the
new system involves too much
paper work. It is necessary to
make out 5000 sheets in tripli-
cate, he said.
This could be cut down dras-
tically. the superintendent said
if the school system stopped
giving the sheets to those teach
ers doing satisfactorily.
The superintendent suggested
giving ratings only to temporary
and probationary teachers and
to those rated unsatisfactory

Foggy Bottom Strip
zoned CommerciaIto
Invite Construction

The District Zoning Commits
sion has opened the way In
Washington's Foggy Bottom dis
trict for what may ultimately
mean nearly 500 million in new
construction.
The regulatory body approved
rezoning. from residential to
commercial status. of a tract 125
feet deep along the west side of
Twenty-fourth street. between
H street and Virginia avenue
NV.
An organization known as the
Potomac Parkway Plaza Devel-
opment Co.. which plans the new
development. intends to- build
APARTMENT houses and Office
buildings in the area. The prop
erty under consideration by the
coming commission is owned by
Washington Gas Light Co.,
which wants to sell to the de-
velopment corporation.
For New Construction.
This land, as we'll as adjoining
property all the way down to the
Rock Greek and Potomac park
way. is earmarked by developers
for new construction.
Two big gas storage tanks now
occupy the block surrounded by
Twenty-fourth, Twenty fifth and
H streets and Virginia avenue.
The coming commissioners. in a
flying trip yesterday. contem-
plated these as we'll as the sur
rounding area. which is deep in
the throes of individual home
renovation.
The commission OVERRIDE the
dissenting voice of the Zoning
Advisory Council. Dissenter John
Nolen. 1r., director of National
Capital Planning Commission.
urged that no isolated strips of
land be rezoned in this fashion.
Mr.. Nolen commended that an
overall plan for the area should
be taken into account in the
commission action.
Other Commitments Withheld.
Emphasis was placed on the
fact that the commission re-
fused to commit itself on other
than the Twenty-fourth street
frontage. Any further applica-
tionS for coming that would per-
NIT apartment-house develop
ment will have to be considered
separately. the commission ruled.
Among other actions, it was
decreed that an amendment to
the coming code to permit foster
homes in residential areas be
submitted at future commits
sion hearing. The District We'll
fare Department wants the
privilege of naming qualified
foster homes in its own right.
The commission amendment
would permit such requests to
be filed with the Zoning Adjust
ment Board.

Expert Committee
To Guide Congress on
D. {. Projects Asked

A resolution to set up a per-
manent joint House Senate
planning committee to help Con-
gress decide on the merits of the
Districts controversial highway
and bridge needs was to be in
troduced Monday by Representa-
tive Kearns. Republican. of
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Kearns said he views such
a standing committee as the
only solution to the problem
Congress faces when it is bonn
baSted with conflicting argyll
ments from various agencies
about District improvements.
He cited, as an example,
sharply conflicting testimony on
bridge needs. given during the
last two weeks to q House Dis
trict subcommittee he heads.
The conflicts showed up most
sharply III arguments given by
District highway officials and the
National Capital Planning Com
mission over the value of the E
street location as the site for a
new bridge.
Wants Own Experts.
Congress should have its own
expert staff to conScientiouSly
and precisely weigh the merits of
all such proposals." Mr.. Kearns
said.
His resolution would give the
new standing committee 10 mem
bers. five chosen from both the
House and Senate District Com
mittee membership. The chair
manship would rotate each year
between House and Senate mem
berS.
1t said the committee would
make studies, analyses and eval-
uationS Of District road and
bridge needs. prepare plans for
such projects and submit regular
reports, with recommendations to
the Senate and House District
Committees -
Mr.. Kearns said his resolution
would ask for 100000 a year.
About so per cent of that
amount, he said, should be spent
for well-trained technical staff.
The Pennsylvania Republican
argued that. since Congress has
the final responsibility for rul-
ing on needs, it should have
more impartial help in making
the decisions.
Not a Replacement.
He said such a committee
would not rule out the need for
existing planning agencies. But
its technical staff, he said, would
keep in close touch with all de-
velopments the agencies deal
with.
Mr.. Kearns said he felt such
committee would be able to do
a better job than commissions
which have been proposed to
study transportation problems
in the Washington area.
Since his bill is in the form of
a Joint resolution. Mr.. Kearns
said it would be referred to the
Rules Committee for action.
In testimony at the bridge
hearings on Wednesday,, Charles
S. Gum, president of the Capt.
toll Hill-Southeast Citizens AS
ISOLATION, urged strongly that
just such a joint planning COM
mittee be formed.
Mr.. Gum also stressed that
such a committee is needed to
end conflicts among various
planning and highway agencies.
He opposed plans for specific
improvements he said would en-
danger the rehabilitation Of
Capitol Hill neighborhoods, and
he urged that the projects be
put of until such q Joint COM
mittee is formed

Utilities Expert
Defends CTC
Finance Plan
Says Bond Dividend
Action Won't Impair
Services to Public
By Howard [. Dutkin

A utilities expert today testi-
fled that Capital Transit's bond
redemption and dividend pay
ment moves would not impair its
ability to serve the public.
In addition, the witness, w. C.
Gilman, of New York City, de-
clared the company's credit rat
ing would be injured if the moves
were prevented.
Mr.. Gilman, who at one time
headed a Florida utility, was
called as a witness by the CTC
at the injunction hearing now
before Judge Edward M. Curran.
in the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia.
The Public Utilities Commits
sion is seeking a court order to
prevent the etc from declaring
a Accent dividend to stock
holders and redeeming $50 mil
lion in bonds, at least until the
commission complete an inquiry
into the company's financial
structure scheduled to start
March l6.
10 Pct. Called Fair.
Mr.. Gilman today testified.
as he has done at previous rata
hearings, that 10 per cent would
be a fair return to the etc on
its investment. The commission
has allowed a ga per cent return
but the company declares the
actual return currently is only
4.3 per cent.
Under cross examination by
Attorney Lloyd B. Harrison.
representing the commission,
Mr.. Gilman declared that in the
public utilities industry gener-
ally only 60 cents out of every
income dollar is paid out in
dividends. He said the remain
der is usually held for rainy
days."
When Mr.. Harrison declared
that the Capital Transit Co. had
paid out more than 100 per
cent" of its income in dividends
in the two years, 1928, Mr..
Gilman replied:
There were abnormally low
earnings in those two years due
to inadequate rates."
3 Out of % Years.
In response to questioning
from Judge Curran, the witness
stated that the company had
paid out in dividends more than
it earned in only three years out
OF the last %. In two of these
years the company was under the
group headed by Louis Wolfson.
Mr.. Harrison referring to the
payment of dividends above
earnings, asked: Suppose we
have a long wet spell?" Then
we'd run out" the witness an
Swered.
Meanwhile, a company official
yesterday testified the firm could
be safely operated with a cash
and marketable security balance
of $500,000 to $4,000.
The witness. Robert E. Harvey,
vice president and controller,
earlier had forecast that the
company would wind up this
year with a $1.8 million cash
surplus. even if the bonds are
redeemed and a SIS million divi-
dend goes through.
The commission has forecast
that the company would show a
$900,956 cash deficiency this year
on the assumption that no profit
would be made from transit
operations. Total cash and in
vestment securities totaled $2.8
million as OF Wednesday, it was
reported yesterday.
A statement by Mr.. Harvey
that he believed the public and
the utility were better off by
the declaration of a fat dividend
than by reduction of debt
through bond redemption
brought a blast from Judge Cur
ran.
That is the silliest statement
I've heard in long time" the

CHILD LABOR STILL a MAJOR PROBLEM

Though most Americans might not realize it. the
problem Of child labor, and Of young children leaving
school TO 60 to work, is still major problem in the
United States Those who thought the schools are today
claiming all eenagers viii be surprised to find that more
children were working in 1850 than in 1910.
The increase in the last decade has been greatest
among fourteen and fteen-year-od children and to-
day one child in eleven is earning money on his own
whereas, In 1910, only in twenty-three had job
Of the onen-eeven working today, seventeen per cent
Of this age group not in school,
The National Child Labor Committee recently re-
ported the attitude on partime work for eenagers has
changed completely since World War II and that it is
now an accepted activity for school children The Com
mttee annual report showed that in the fourteen and
fteenyear group, the State of Connecticut had the
best record of educational attendance and South Caro-
lima the worst. NJ
Some Of todays problems may surprise the reader
Approximately 100000 children are now working and
not attending school, according to the National Child
Labor Committee report The report also showed large
number of children carry work load Of thirtyve hours
week and attempt to attend school too. Such work
load is sure to interfere with their proper education
according to the committee
The committee urges all states to enforce properly
the child labor laws, which require children of certain
ages to attend schools. Not only should the laws be
better enforced but in many cases, the laws can be
improved and since the future Of this country and
haps the world depends upon the younger generation
better school attendance and better child labor laws viii
