The | present form of the bill, which it has | been expected would be introduced at | the present session of Congress, re- !f‘en'l)' was indorsed by the Board of Trade on recommendation of its com- mittee on universities and schools, of which Charles F. rusi, president of the Board of Education, is_chairman. { While stating that he was fully in accord with the movement for putting to an end the operations of “diploma mill’ schools, Mgr. Pace said he doubt- ed the wisdom of placing in the hands of the Board of Education the licens- ing of schools of higher education in- corporated here. He felt that the licensing authority, if one be needed, should be composed of officials deal: ing with institutions of higher edu- cation rather than with grade schools, high schools or even normals. . The placing of the licensing power in the hands of the Board of Educa- tion, he said, presupposes a judgment by that body of qualifications of uni- versities and colleges, including those of established reputation, to confer degrees. Thus those in charge of secondary schools, he declared, would be placed in judgment over higher institutions. Special Act Schools Exempt. Here, however, Miss McCall, who also was present by invitation, pointed out that all local institutions char- tered by special act of Congre: would be exempt from the provisions of the proposed bill. This would in- clude such schools as American Uni- ersity, George Washington Univer- ity and other established colleges, she said. Mgr. Pace then raised the question as to how the Board of Education as the supervising agency would decide what standards should be applied in Jjudging whether a school’s curricula be adequate to warrant it to confer degrees. How, he asked, would the Board of Education go about proving a school in question had or did not have proper qualifications for obtain- ing a license. He also raised the que: tion as to how the licensing authorit would decide if a graduate of a cel tain school had had proper trainin for obtaining a degree. . Miss M 11 explained here that the improperly trained student would be reached through regulation of 'the school from which he would obtain his degree, Sees Investigation Trouble. Mr. Darr challenged the right of placing a_supervisory power in the hands of the Board of Education over long established educational institu- tions of recognized reputation and worthiness, which he said might be embarrassed by numerous investiga- tions as to their qualifications by such a board. While not questioning the qualifications of the present Board of Education to pass judgment on such matters, he said there was no assur- ance as to the qualifications of later boards. Mr. Darr also attacked the retro- active feature of the bill, which was held by Mr. Tufts and M J to be necessary to reach schools and universities already incorporated here under existing law.

The commission, in calling the Ru- manian government's attention to the situation of the Hungarian-speaking Lutheran churches, urges that a legal status satisfactory to them be estab- lished and that a speedy and satis- factory settlement be made of the re- lations between the government and the Roman Catholic minorities, par- ticularly in the Banat, the western borders of Bucovina.

A wide discrepancy exists, the re- port states, between thé constitution, which it finds is liberal in many re- spects, and its enforcement, especial- ly in the outlying districts. The report censures the Rumanian government for its attempt to abolish the confessional schools and urges that the minorities be permitted to have the kind of schools to which they are accustomed, giving them the full right to teach the historic lan- guages of their respective peoples as well as the Rumanian tevwgue. The commission declares it was im- pressed with_the native intelligence, industry, kindly disposition and friend- liness of the Run inian people, but declares it ‘“extremely unfortunate” that the State church should have sanctioned the National Christian De- fense League and the National Ru manian Christian Students’ Union, whose program and publication, the commission declares, “a disgrace to tion, an insult to the name of Christian and a black spot on the fair name of Rumania.

YORK, December 7 (P).—A ‘hideous campaign . of intimidation and brutality” against Jews exists in | Rumania, the American committee on the rights of religious minorities de- clared yesterday in a preliminary re- | port on a survey of that country. | " This persecution, the committee as- serts, is not confined to Jews, but ex- tends in a lesser degree to other re- ligious minorities, including the Bap- tists, Hungarian-speaking Lutherans and Roman Catholics. The committee, which is composed of 50 citizens of the United States, sent a deputation of five to make a six weeks’ tour of Rumania by auto- mobile. The committee has deferred definite action on the deputation’s re- port until its members have been given an opportunity to study the re- port in full. While there has been somewhat of a decrease in anti-Jewish terrorism. says the report, “there have been ex- cesses, acts of terrorism and such mo- lestation of peaceful elements of the population as to cause continual fear and unrest.” Jews Driven Away. | What improvement there has been, | the committee declares, is due to the | fact that Jews have been so intimi- { dated that they have absented them | selves in large part from the univer: ! ties and public life and to the fact that the virulance of the campaign | has reacted unfavorably of Rumanian prestige abroad. The commission points out the dan- ger of the Rumanian student anti Semitic agitations, and declares that “even worse is the complacency with which many people regard the attitude of certain professors and teachers to- ward these movements, not only con- doning, but even encouraging them.” “We believe,” the report adds, “that | American NEW McCallum Silk Stockings | $3 and $3.50 Full-fashioned, * will be delighted.

C. Action Seen in Row Over Cigar Shop at Four- teenth and E Streets. The District Commissioners may force the United Cigars Stores Co. to modify plans for its proposed building at Fourteenth street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, despite its refusal to do so at the request of the Commission of Fine Arts, it was learned today at the District Building. While the building permit for the structure has been obtained from the District by agents of the cigar com- pany, the Commissioners, it was pointed out, vet could force a change in the plans by withholding per- mission to the company to install show windows in the building, which would project 3 feet over Government property, on the public sidewalk, which, as yet, has not been granted. It has been the practice of the Dis- trict Government to grant revocable permits to builders to construct buildings having show windo pro- jecting beyond the private building lines, but, it was pointed out, this is but a privilege granted and one that} might be revoked. | Windows Criticized. Plans for the building, which are being studied by Maj. W. E. R. Covell, nior Assistant Engineer Commis- sioner, call for spaclous show win- dows to extend the length of both the Pennsylvania avenue and Four- teenth street frontages of the build- ing, for about 3 feet on Government property. This is one of the features which have been criticized by the Fine Arts Commission. Abolition of the windows through \ regulation of the building code was recommended by the building inspec- tor six vears ago, it was said, but never approved. Agitation may be renewed now, it was indicated, to have this prohibition formally written into the building regulations because of _the plans of the cigar company Representative_Sol Bloom of New York has wired George Wise, head of the real estate department of the igar company in New York, urging an_alteration in plans for the new building. Project Is Scored. Unrestricted private building on property adjacent to the Government construction projects to line the south side of Pennsylvania avenue will not only nullify the value of the historic thoroughfare as a business street and neutralize the effect of the rows of monumental Government buildings, but will also cause serious objection from millions of people throughout the country, who look upon the Ave- nue as a national thoroughfare, the Commission of Fine Arts declared to- day, in announcing its support for the 'Shipstead measure, introduced in the Senate at the last session and heduled to reintroduction this year. The commission is not disturbed by the issue of jurisdiction raised by the Cigar Company with regard to its building, even though the company told the Fine Arts body it intends to proceed with its structure as originally outlined and will not modify it to meet objections raised. The matter will be thrashed out at the monthly meeting of the fine arts body tomorrow, and at that time. a the cigar building is expected. ———- Rains have made roads so bad in parts of Chile that automobile drivers nave not dared to go into the rural Special Traffic Regulations Made for Diplomats’ Reception at White House Special traffic regulations have been made for.the diplomatic reception at the White House tomorrow night.
