BOARD OPENS WAY FOR FRATS' BATTLE Rejects Reinstatement Plea of High School Boys—Court Fight Expected. Flatly rejecting the demands of the fathers of five Washington high school s to reinstate their sons in school activities in which they had been bar- red because of affiliation with unap: proved secret societies; the Board of Education yesterday afternoon cleared the path for the legal action threaten- ed by a group of high school fraterni- ties. The demands of the parents were at the instance of John E former United States district who has been engaged as ‘for those fraternities which united in a fight against the board’s anti-fraternity ruling. To one fraternity, Lambda Sigma of Central High School, which has not joined with the organizations planning legal action, the board granted a_con- cesslon. 1t instructed Supt. Frank W. Ballou to investigate and report the feasibility of adopting Lambd Sigma’s compromise plan for disposing aternity controversy through faculty control and supervision of the Dr. Ballou will hold conferences with the representatives fraternity. Meantime, the raternities are expected to test validity of the board's ban on high school fraternities in the courts Reinstatement Plea Fails. Capt. Julius I. Peyser and Ernest Greenwood, who have persistently supported the secret societies during the fraternity dispute, made another futile efforf to have the board rein- state the five boys as requested by their fathers.- A motion to this effect. put by Capt. Peyser, was lost by a vote of 7 to.2, Action on the fraternity matter was not devoid of the usual argument. President James T. Lloyd wanted the proposal of Lambda Sigma Fraternity and the demands of the parents of the five high school boys considered - There was objection by Edwin m, who thought that an or- n ‘which showed an inclina- confer with the board so that it could be recognized should be given some concession. He then made» a motion to have Dr. Ballou confer with the representatives of Lambda Sigma on the compromise plan, but Dr. J Hayden Johnson raised his voice in disapproval. “That is conceding a point under fire!” he exclaimed. The majority of the board members thought otherwise, however, and Mr. Graham's motion was carried. Miss Bentley Gets Post. Upon the recommendation of Supt Ballou, the board appointed Miss Fay L. Bentley, special agent in the chil- dren’s bureau of the Department of Labor, ector of the new depart ment of school attendance and work While not opposing the ap- ment, Mr. Greenwood made it plain that he did not like the policy of going outside the school system fi persons to fill choice school positions. Miss Bentley holds a Ph. B. degree from the University of Chicago, and has had considerable experience in fa se work with the Associated s in Chicago and the American She has been connected with the Department of La- bor, where she is credited with vari al studies for the Chil- Bureau. Mr. Graham, as chairman of the finance committee, reported that the school budget for the next fiscal year, tn tentative form, would be completed before May 15, and asked that his committee be authorized to submit the estimates to the Commissioners with further approval by the board.

Capt. Peyser, however, took issue with Mr. Graham. “There has never been a meeting of the finance com- mittee,” he 3aid. “The meetings Mr. Graham referred to were called by Dr. Ballou to consider administrative mat- ters. That does not mean that they were finance committee meetings.” Deplores Secret Sessions. Capt. Peyser then deplored the se- cret sessloris. “We must have some- thing terrible'to hide,” he declared. “I think all nine of us ought to file a pe- titlon asking the judges of the District Supreme Court to dissolve the board.” After this flurry, the board, by the usual 7-to-2 vote, instructed the finance committee to send the esti- mates to the Commissioners without further consideration by the board as a whole. The dissenting votes were cast by Capt. Peyser and Mr. Green- wood. The National Council for Prevention of Wars, through Mrs. Raymond B. Morgan, former member of the board, inquired as to what arrangements had been made for the observance in the schools of “Natlonal Good Will day” on May 18. Dr. Ballou was authorized to answer the query. An offer of the Yale University Press to make a motion picture, “Chronicles of America,” avaflable to the District schools was acceptedt Opening of the vacation schools after July 1 was ordered. Citizen Pleas Heard. Communications from four clvic organizations were acknowledged by the board and referred to proper com- mittees. The Brightwood Park Cit- izens' Assoclation asked that the name of the Brightwood Park School be changed to Archibald White; the Georgetown Citizens’ Association urged the adoption of the name of James Holsworth Gordon for the new junior high school to be erected in its com- munily; the Burleith Citizens’ Asso- clation recommended the acquisition of the House of Good Shepherd prop. erty for the Western High School Friday---Tomorrow---Sweeping Reductions Create Astounding Values in flounces! versions of the new mode.
