Subject Is Discusned. George Yateman, president of the South Washington Citizens'. Associa~ tion, indorsed the establishment of a junior high school in the Jefferson building in accordance with the plans prepared by Dr. Ballou. Opposition to the plan was voiced by Mrs. J. H. Newton, president of the Smallwood- Bowen ' Parent-Teacher _Association, who declared that the industrial work now taught at the school she rep- resents is of vital lmportance to the community. Under the plans for the institution of a junior high school in the Jeffer- son building the seventh and eighth grades of the vocational work will be taken from the Smallwood-Bowen and included in the curriculum of the new junior high school. Dr. Ballou gave assurance that this can be done with- out materially interfering with the character of the vocational work. Speakers Before Committee. Among those who appeared before the committee were Miss Anne Beers, supervising principal of the eighth division; William F. Smith, principal of the Smallwood-Bowen School, and Miss M. Blanche Pearson ,principal of the Jefferson School. Capg. Julius 1. Peyser headed the board's special committee appointed to consider the project of Dr. Ballou for the change in the courses at the two Southwest schools. Others who served with him are Mrs. Howard L. Hodgkins and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson. Soldiers Held in Slaying.

While farmers and suburbanites till were taking stock today of the damage wrought by Sunday’s storm, the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phone Company gradually was recov- ering from the havoc of the tornado. Communication between Washing- ton and Maryland towns, which were isolated for twenty-four hours as a result of destroved lines, had been restored- today, although 400 private phones in Virginia and 500 in Mary- land were still out of commission. It is expected these will be working by night. A military court of inquiry is to be ‘convened in Quantico some time this week to inquire intc the drowning of the four marines when their boats were capsized oy the wind off the Marine Corps base. In the meantime the men will lie in state at Quantico until they are escorted to their homes with full military guards of honor. Mayor Widdifield of North Beach, n. Chesapeake Beach, said today that first reports of the damage there had been somewhat exaggerated. He sald no houses had been actually blown down there, although several had been damaged when trees were blown over on top of them. @ives Columbia $125,000.
