School Census

The Federation of Citizens AS
sociations last night called for a
complete school census" here
and for a breakdown on illegal
attendance of District schools by
nonresident children.
A resolution declared that no
complete school census had been
taken for a considerable period
of years despite a requirement
| in the District Code. 1t also cited
the population shifts which have
taken place.
LAS a result" the resolution
said, there is inadequate data
upon which to plan for new
school needs" It requested the
census to provide a sound basis
for future recommendations of
school needs.
Summer Census Asked
The Federation requested the
school administration to take the
census during the summer when
those who might reside in the
District for school purposes only
are not likely to be resident"
It asked that the Senate SUBJ
committee on the District budget
include funds covering the cost
of the census. with the require
ment that legal evidence of
guardianship be presented in
those cases where children are
not residing with their parents,
so that no nonresident child may
attend local schools without pay
ment of tuition"
Also adopted, on recommen-
dalton of Donald j. Mclaughlin,
vice chairman of the education
committee, was a motion sup
porting legislation which would
bring pensions for retir e d
teachers in line with those OF
other retired Federal workers.

With only 100 days of assured
transit service in Washington,
the Senate tomorrow is sched-
uled to start debate on a bill
which would set UP publicly
owned authority to take over the

slated to start debating an en-
tirely different bill to restore the
franchise of Capital Transit
Company. Under. present law,
the company's charter and fran

received from CTC President
j. A. B. Broadwater a second
argument against giving the pro-
posed authority power to con-
denim his company on a piece
meal basis.
He forwarded an opinion by
CTC's general counsel, Edmund
L. Jones of the firm of Hogan
and Harrison, branding the pro-
vision as unfair and unjust"
and suggesting there is grave
doubt" of the "constitutionality
of any such procedure of selec-
tive condemnation"
Interim" Bill Sought
This letter was sent to men,
Ibers Of the Senate only few
days after an earlier memoran-
dunn which called it improbable"
that private investors would
seek to buy the system from the
transit authority. The Senate
measure would set up the au-
thority on an interim" basis for
three years, during which the
District Commissioners would be
required to try to sell the system
to private operators.
On the other side of the con-
troversy. union forces were con-
Icentrating their fire against the
restoration bill and urging pass
age of the public ownership
measure. Representative Broyhill,
Republican Of Virginia. said he
and other members of the Vir-
ginia delegation had received

them to take that position.

said. His interest in the deci-
sion of Congress on the conflict

Mr.. Heselton's statement was
regarded as a hint that he might
withdraw his opposition to the

management were eliminated.

Grange Is
Worried Over
Farm Income

Roy Battles, assistant to the
Master of the National Grange,
Washington, D. c. declared re-
Gently that a new method must be
developed to support farm income.
THE new method" he said,
would involve a variety Of ap-
proaches. one Of which would
provide for direct payment to
farmers. These payments should
not come from the Federal Treas
ury. There are too many dangers
involved in bringing farmers
equality of income by this route"
He suggested that payments
would come largely from process
sors, who in turn would pass
them on to consumers.
This kind Of approach to the
farm problem, ard other matters
concerning agriculture, will be
expanded by Mr.. Battles when he
appears as guest speaker a. the
