Complaints Bring School Check
On Singing of National Anthem

Association, on March /, asked
that the anthem be sung twice
a week in the schools.
DR.. Corning indicated today
there may be some delay in the
resolution of the controversy over
proposed transfer Of Petworth or
Raymond Elementary School to
Negroes.
The school board last week
voted down a Recommendation by
the superintendent to transfer
PetWorth, instructing him to
come back with an alternative.
Several board members urged
transferring Raym0nd. The i'm
preston was given that the
board expected a new recon-
rnendation and a public hearing
on May 13. when the boards
buildings committee next meets.
Silent on Recommendation.
DR.. Corning said today it is
impossible, under normal proce-
dure, to hold any hearing on the
same day a recommendation is
presented. He said he plans to
ask permission simply to present
new report and leave it to the
board to set a hearing later If 1t
wishes.
DR.. Corning refused to say
what he plans to recommend.
The superintendent handed to
reporters a statement he has
sent to the board, opposing an
annual school census. He said
such a census would cost $50. 900
to 100000 annually and would
not be useful.
Two Senator's recently ques-
toned whether school officials
are violating the law in failing
to conduct a census yearly. DR..
Corning contends the law does
not require this.

port on the subject. The survey

to overlook this patriotic song
in some schools"

the Board of Education to estab-
lish a policy that the song be
taught to all children and sung
regularly in all grades of all
schools.

did not hesitate to lend a helping
hand, wading knee deep into the
water and carrying babies from
the boat. It was then that Orovitz
decided to give his part too for
the upbuilding of the Jewish
State. On the next day he entered
into partnership with x. Feder-
mann and a group of British vet
Grams on a beach scheme near
Haifa. On coming back to the
States, he tried to awaken the
interest of friends for investments
in Palestine. With the foundation
of the Jewish State in 1948, his
attachment to the country grew
even more and the idea, his being
a Miami Beach Hotel man, to
build a big hotel was born.
Through all sorts of difficulties,
the unexpected rise in the cost of
building materials (almost 3 times
the original estimate) the hotel
was built, entirely by Jewish
labour and almost entirely from
Israeli products. The cost, mil
lion dollars, and years of con-
struction did not deter the origi-
nal decision and the hotel was
Iopened in November 1858.
S. Federmann, the Manager and
brother of x. Federmann, came to
this country in 1914 after having
experienced all the trials of Euro
Ipean Jewry. He left Germany in
1888 on his way to England to
continue his work for the Zionist
Movement, but was surprised by
the German troops in Belgium. He
escaped to France, where he join
ed the Allied Forces, but the fall
of France was imminent. He was
forced to cross by foot from the
center of France to Portugal and
was taken prisoner in Spain and
interned in a concentration camp

and his brother Same, the latter
who is now actually managing
the hotel, from the Israeli side,
represent the rise of this coun-
try's fortune by self-help and
interested aid from abroad.
Mr.. x. Federmann, the Israeli
initiator, arrived in Israel in 1910
from England, where he was in
charge of the Youth Aliyah Or

Bob Quinn, 81, Who Sold Red Sox to Yowkey
And Braves to Lou Perrin, Dies in Providence

winter Of 1928 to Thomas A.
Yawkey. a New York millionaire
A short while later he became
general manager of the Brooklyn
Dodgers. a post he held only
until he was offered the same
post with the Braves, then
known as the Boston Bees, dur
ing a period when the club was
undergoing a reorganization.
He continued to serve as gen.
eral manager until shortly after
the club was purchased by
three Boston contractors, Lou
Perrin, Joe Nancy and Guido
Rugo. in 1912. The club was
renamed the Braves at that
time.
Later he became head of the
Braves farm system and in the
late l940s quit active baseball to
accept a post as contact man
for the Wilson Co.. a large sport
ing goods concern.
The only jobs Bob Quinn ever
held in his life were associated
with baseball, a sport that made
many of his contemporaries
wealthy. But Quinn's rewards
were of another kind-such in
tangibles as the admiration. re-
Spect and affectionate esteem of
all who crossed his path.

Scu|I Installed
As Regular for
Series With As
Bucky'Gives Cuban
Big Chance to Crash
Majors on First Try
By Burton Hawkins
Sior Siof Correspondent

ORLANDO. Fla, Mar. H.
Nine games with major league
rivals in as many days should
give Manager Bucky Harris 9
clue as to whether his Senators
will be stronger this season. By
then he'll learn. among other
things, whether Angel Scull OF
Carlos Paula, Cuban Negroes
competing for the rightfield job
are capable of making the grade
Scull will break into action to-
morrow when the Senators visit
West Palm Beach for a two
game series with the Athletics
He'll be installed as a regular
batting second behind Eddie
Yost and ahead of the speedy
Jim Busby in a realigned batting
order which drops Tom Umph-
lett to sixth.
Harris is giving the swift Scull
a golden opportunity to crash
the majors on his first try. After
watching him in batting prac-
tice yesterday. when Scull drilled
whistling shots past an assort-
ment of pitchers into centerfield,
Bucky said. Hes going to play
Saturday. the next day. the day
after that and keep right on
playing if he shows me he can
do it,"
Scull ImpreSSeS Harris.
Bucky's first impression OF
Scull was highly favorable. Il
pointed out to him. through Con-
ME Marrero. that the stance he
had would make him sucker
for a low outside curve" Harris
said. HE got the idea immedi-
ately and made the change
nicely"
After Marrero completed in
terpreting for Harris. Scull said
to Connie. in Spanish. please
tell Mr.. Harris to speak to me
in English and I'll answer him
in English" Bucky got a belt
out of that.
Harris hopes Scull will supply
some punch to the club. IF he
makes the grade. Washington
will have its finest defensive out
field in history" Bucky said
"Sculj can fly and they tell me
he can throw with the best OF
them. If he can hit enough
we're going to have a greatly
improved club
Nothing Fragile About Scull.
Scull's lack of size doesn't dis
turb Harris. Angel is only s.
foot-6 and weighs 1862, but he
looks as If he is the prize prod
uct of a fire hydrant manufac-
turer. There's nothing fragile
about him.
Harris isn't abandoning Paula,
but he feels Scull may be more
polished. His play in triple-A
