MoIoyon Sun Bear,
Gift to Zoo Here
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. May ia
Malayan sun bear destined for
the Washington Zoo was among
seven animals unloaded from a
steamship here today after an
11-week voyage from Indonesia,
where they were collected as a
good will gift to the United
States.
Arthur r. Watson, director of
Baltimore's Zoo, said the ami
mails all seemed in fine condition
after their weeks of travelling
half way around the world.
The little Malayan sun bear
and the others were to be held
at the Zoo here for a few days
and then will be transferred to
Washington.
Among those greeting the

sizes range from one-eighth bu-
shell baskets up to one-and-one-
half and two bushel baskets. Mr..
Barden proposed an additional
size. a three-eighths bushel bas-
ket of the round stave style.
He declared it would aid greatly
in the marketing of fruit, par
ticularly peaches and inciden-
tally make an attractive gift
package.
Representative Mack. Demo-
crat. of Illinois, and several
other Democrats opened with a
chilling blast against the Barden
bill. They contended that the
need for the three-eights bushel
size had not been demonstrated
and a bushel ought to be a
buShel.
They complained that the Bar
den bill ripened too rapidly be-
cause it was dropped into the
House hopper only a couple Of
months ago. Mr.. Barden re-
torted that expeditions action

crop was about to move.
Mr.. Mack, in q move inter-
preted by Mr.. Barden as a plot
to plow under the bill, sought
to amend it by authorizing the
Secretary Of Agriculture to fix

sizes Of buShel baskets.
This was cut short by a point

a tisket and q tasket, eventually

Only the parents were nervous
as the 70-piece orchestra of the
Lafayette School gave it's annual
concert last night.
The clarinets squealed a little,
the CromboneS dripped and the
percusSionistS jostled for posi-
ton around the traps, cymbals,
triangle and wood blocks. But
every pirt-sized musician was
doing his happy bit.
Even the conductor, Mrs. Ruth
c. Topping. was obviously enjoy
ing herself.
The 500 adult listeners jammed
into the auditorium and the halls
outside soon lost their anxiety.
It was a concert to remember.
Washington will probably have
to wait until Lafayette does it
again next year to hear anything
like it. Unless, that is, Congress
decides all the Districts ele-
mentary schools deserve to be
given the same opportunity.
''Pilot Project"
Lafayette is an experiment,
designed to convince Congress
that music has a rightful place
in the elementary schools.
With only four instrumental
teachers for the Districts 100
grade schools, school officials
have made Lafayette a pilot"
project. Mrs. Topping spends
three mornings a week there.
and only one morning at each
of two other schools. Most grade
schools never see an instru-
mental teacher.
The 70 instruments came from
Army surplus. parents attics,
friends Easements and a yearly
contribution from Lafayette
Home and School Association.

under a bushel. has come out
for the three-eighths bushel bas-
ket.
&. But factions as well as frac-
tionS split wide open yesterday
before passage Of a measure to
fit those specifications. Even
then, House members did not
put all their votes in one basket
in wrapping up the bill and
sending it to the Senate. The
final voice vote, so far as could
be heard. sounded surprisingly
close.
This basket bill introduced by

crat, of North Carolina, dealt

PTA Delegates Told
They Must Safeguard
Guiding Principles

Members of the District Con-
gress Of Parents and Teachers
today were told they must safe
guard their guiding principles if
they are to remain effective in
the community.
Speaking at the first business
session Of the three-day meeting
III the Sheraton-Park Hotel,
Knox Walker. second vice presi-
dent OF the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers, said the
groups should remain non-com-
mercial and non-sectarian. He
added that no political distinc-
ton should be made in the
membership.
DR.. Hurst R. Anderson, presi-
dent of American University.
speaking last night on the con-
vention theme-"The Home.
Cornerstone of Happy Living
listed the chief errors of modern
parents as:
Giving children too much
money, too much of other mate
rial things they may not be
ready. or able to appreciate, and
not enough discipline.
Lack of Discipline Cited.
The lack of discipline also is
found in schools, he said.
The most important period in
the child's life, DR.. Anderson told
the parents and teachers, is from
birth to the age of 8. OF this,
he emphasized, six years are
spent solely in the home.
According to DR.. Anderson,
home life should:
l. Develop in the child a feel
ing of security.
2. Present a balance between
concern for self and concern for
others. This cannot be pushed
off ON the schools or courts.
8. Develop the ability to work
comparatively with others.
4. Teach self lf-control and self
discipline. Lack of these is caus-
ing Washingtons juvenile de-
linquency problem.
IS. Inculcate set of values,
morals and ethics.
6. Develop a devotion to truth.
All truths are not relative, there
are certain absolutes.
Welcomed by Spencer.
The delegates were welcomed
to the convention by Commits
sioner Samuel Spencer, who
said no organization is doing
more constructive work in the
District than the PTA.

ing also spoke. Mrs. Gertrude

GameweII Co. Gets
.S14,464 Contract for
Fire Alarm Boxes
By John w. Stepp

The District today awarded a
$14,464 contract to the Came
well Co. of Newton Upper Falls,
Mass, for the purchase of 100
fire alarm boxes.
The company, which was one
of three bidders, was convicted
seven years ago of violating Fed
eral laws by monopolizing the
manufacture and distribution of
fire alarm equipment through
out the Nation.
Municipal officials had the
products offered by the three
bidders screened by the Bureau
of Standards, and the District
Commissioners themselves before
making the contract award.
Gamewell actually was the
middle bidder, with an entry of
$144.64 per box. r. G. Vessels,
deputy procurement officer for
the District, said the low bidder
was Harrington Signal Co. of
Moline, ILL.,, with $40 per box
offered. Superior American Fire
Alarm Co. of Meriden, Conn.,,
made the highest bid of $145.O5.
Mr.. Vessels said that on the
basis of the Bureau of Standards
tests, as well as a screening by
the District Advisory Committee
on Awards, it was determined the
Harrington boxes would have
been unsuitable for tying into
the city's existing alarm system.
which is more than 80 per cent
Gamewell. The procurement Of
fetal said that despite the low
cost of the Harrington product,
installation of its boxes would
have made the total cost pro-
hibitive.
Although the boxes offered by
the Superior Co. would have
fitted into the present alarm
system, the fact that Superior's
bid was highest of the three
decided awarding in favor of
GameWell.
