Chairman Brown and members of the subcommittee showed that they were in hearty sympathy with the bill. Mr. Brown sald that another meeting will be held to finish consideration of the bill, paragraph by paragraph, and that he anticipates reporting it soon to the ful! House committee on the District, with only minor changes. Robert Watson, president of the United States Housing Corporation and director of the bureau of industrial hcusing and transportation, appeared before the subcommittee today and de- nied statements made on Wednesday by the director of the better business bureau that he and L.

Overcrowding at FEastern High School has become so acute that school authorities have been forced to press into use a vacant room in the basement of the Wallach School for some of the excess students. The Wallach School is in close proximity to Eastern, and the students who travel back and forth between the two buildings, therefore, are con- fronted with but little hardships. The basement room in the Wallach Sehool, it was pointed out today, is well heated and lighted. Sessions are held in this room throughout the day for varlious classes. Classes, ho ever, use this room for only one pe- riod, and then return to the high school building. Enrollment at Eastern has been steadily increasing since the begin- ning of the term in September, and has now reached approximately $70, the Jargest in the history of the in- stitution. ‘The school was built to accommodate comfortably about 450 students. At the beginning of the new semester in February Eastern's enrollment is expected to go beyond the 1,000 mark. U. S. TROOPS TRANSFERRED.

ONLY 100 STUDENTS STUDYING GERMAN High School Pupils Much Pre- fer Spanish and French Since War. Pre-war popularity of the German language among Washington high school students apparently has lost its foothold in favor of French and Spanish. Although the board of edu- cation lifted the ban on the teaching of the Teutonic language in the Dis- trict high schools at the beginning of the present scholastic year, not more than 100 students are avalling themselves of the opportunity to learn to speak it, a canvass of the senior institutions today showed. 1,000 -Students Bafore War. MAY PRINT DOCUMENTS President Harding May Be Asked to Mediate, Is Word From Tokio. By the Associated Press. PLKING, October 14.—Japan is in- clined to ignore the Chinese note re- Jecting her proposals'relative to ne- gotiations involving the Shantung question, according to most reliable information here. This would leave the position of Japan as it was fol- lowing the presentation of the Toklo memorandum by M. Obata, Japanese minister here, in September. - It is deelared that Japan expects China will attempt to bring the Shan- tung problem before the Washington conference, but Tokio is relying upon the solid support of the signatories to the Versailles treaty in opposing such & move, because if China's claims were recognized, it is asserted, other non-signatory nations would be en- couraged to protest against clauses distasteful to them, and thus the treaty might be invalidated. Japan expects her stand in this matter will leave Shantung open to future direct megotiations with China. While ignoring the Peking note relative to China, Japan is likely, however, to publish all Chinese afd Japanese documents regarding Shan- I Drovided China's consent can be mw";“ l""’ ochook board shortly adter obtained. 1f this should be impossi-|the declaration of war on Germany ble, she is expected to issue an offi- ;ordered that the teaching of that cial resume, including probably a |language be discontinued in the high statement that Chinese officlals def- | schools there were at least 1,000 stu- initely had assured her that China |dents taking the German course.

THOSE WHO HAVE JU U. S. CONSENTS TO DELAY OF DISSOLUTION ORDER T 0l Not to Insist on Transfer of Own- ership of Reading Company +Stock at This Time. Government consent to postpone- ment of the dissolution of ownership by the Reading Company and others of stock .of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, or- dered by the United States district court at Philadelphia, was announced today by Attorney General Daugh- erty. The decision followed an_appeal taken to the Supreme Court in a case brought by a committee repre- senting the common stock holders of the Reading- company. Under the original decree Newton H. Fairbanks of Springfield, Ohio, and Joseph B. McCall of Philadelphia were appoint- ©ed trustees to hold the stock of the coal and iron company owned by the Reading company until arrange- ments could be made for its dispo- sition to persons not connected with the Reading company. The Attorney General stated today that “the uncertainties attending the | appeal render it inadvisable that any step be taken in carrying out the plan of dissolution which might later cause embarrassment or delay in case the plans should be materially modified by the Supreme Court." The government will not insist upon the actual transfer of the stock to the trustees at this time, who, the At- torney General said, having been elected members of the board of di- rectors of the Reading Company, he considered public interests sufficiently protected to awalt results of the new litigation. = a Room German classes in the schools. The reason for this officials are unable to explain. French and Spanish are the most favored modern languages now being studied by the high school students. TReir popularity is about on a par, with Latin ranking third. There are no Greek language classes in the schools. . Out of the more than 3,000 students in Central High School there are only thirty-seven studying the German language, and these are all in the first semester. Before the war be- tween 500 and 600 Central students were enrolied in the German classes. About 200 of this number were in first-year classes.
