—2 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1830. VICTORIOUS MRS. McCORMICK RETURNS MRS. BUEL SCORES CROSBY'S SALARY ‘TRAITOR TEACHERS' Founders and Patriots’ So- ‘clety President Commends Oratory Contests. Disloyal teachers in the public schools and colleges who are under- mining faith in the Constitution were denounced by Mrs, John Laidlaw Buel, national president of the National 8o elety of Dlughuu o( Founders and Patriots of Ameriea, to i’l at the thirty. second general court of the organization in the Washington Hotel, “Qoratorical contests on the Constitu- tion have in recent years done much to awaken our high school boys and girls to the value of its principles,” Mrs. Buel declared. “Many States make a study of the Constitution compulsory in the public schools. But here the kind of teaching depends on the loyalty of the teacher. A disloyal teacher has the opportunity to arouse hatred and contempt, Yet outwardly he wiil be teaching the Constitution.” Mrs. Buel asserted that the colleges are a “law unto themselves” and that the professor, taking refuge in his aca- demic freedom, “can teach whatever he pleases about the Constitution.” As a result of this condition, she clli.med many radical doct: are instilled in the minds of students. X Colleges Are Attacked. Mrs. Buel said the preponderance of radical speakers in the Summer stu- dent camps and conferences is be- coming more and more apparent. “The trend in colleges is toward socialism,” she added, “and wherever socialism flourishes, faith in our con- stitutional form of government wanes.” ‘The opening session of the general court, attended by State presidents and national officers of other women's pa- triotic organizations adjourned at noon to enable the delegates to go to the white House, where they wene received y Ml’l Herbert Hoover, Sol Lansburgh of Washington Rpflrud 107 voting delegates as chair- man of the committee on credentials. Van Orsdel Hits Communism. At the banquet of the society, at-| tended last night by national officers of several of the leading women's patriotic organizations, Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel of the District Court of Appeals, the principal speaker, warned against too much “tinkering” with the Con- stitution, disrespect for the fundamental laws and stressed the necessity of con- tinued vigilance against communism. Referring to the menace of com- munism, Justice Van Orsdel said: “These pernicious forces are at work ¢among us not only by propaganda but widely circulated publications and through the agency of organized schools. Through these agencies they are reach- ing into the Ameflcan homa and n.n!nn the youth inf ch socleties as the {'uun; Ploneers.’ “We have prominent advocates ot Russian recognition in our country to day. Their knock on our door for ad- mission is gentle and seductive, but before we open the door we should consider the experience of the countries which have extended recognition. Mrs. Buel, national president of the soclety, presided and introduced offi- cers of other organizations, all of whom are members of the Society of Founders and Patriots. They bore pledges of e the principles mn by l:.he founders of the Republ! and to teach patriotism among younger generation. ™. A. R. Leaders Speak. Mrs Buel said the soclety has given residents general to The Daugh= un Fthe American Revolution and two of these spoke briefly last night. They were Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Hobart, incumbent president general, and Mrs, George B. Minor, honorary president general. Mrs. Alfred J. Brosseau, the third, was prevented at the last mo- ment from attending. Other speakers and lpechl guests in- eluded Mrs, Percy Quin, national president of the chfldren of the Ameri- can Revolution; Mrs. Frank B, Ellison, president of the Daughters of Ameri- can Wars, and Mrs. Robert J. Johnston of the Daughters of 1812, Mrs. Johnswn was introduced as_the mayor of Humboldt, Iowa, Mrs. Buel hat declared she had just been elected for her third consecutive term. About 100 women attended the banquet.

Congress should either go back to the 60-40 basis of appropriating for ex- penses of the District of Columbia or it should “concede to the people of the District real control over their own in- come and expenditures for local gov- ernmental purposes,” Representative William R. Coyle of Pennsylvania de- clared In & speech in the House this afternoon. The change that has come about in the fiscal relationship between Congress and the people of the District “makes advisable a change in the legislative relationship between the two, and it should be effected as soon as it can be carefully considered,” he said. Mr. Coyle, a native of Washington, who lived here until he was about 21, has always taken a keen interest m local affairs. As a suggestion to bring about a fairer relationship between residents of Wash- , he proposed in his pe 'Congress create a joint. mmmltue o! the House and Sen- ate to consider “the rights of the people of the District and the best interests of the District in relation to further legia- lation.” Should Place Responsibility, After reviewing the fiscal relations of flu mlmel and Federal governments in the past, Mr. Coyle added: “!.n these hwr years, when Conj has again the early position where it mlkel flat contribution in iblic | lieu of & tax levy, amounting to $9 ooo,. 000 annually, it would seem perha) wg only fair for the Congress to cons! divesting itself of part of its respon- sibllity rq-rdlnl tax levies and appro- priations.” Congress today, in the opinion of Mr. Coyle, “can have no financial interest in the decrease or increase” in expendi- tures by the District. “If the pay of the firemen or police- men is to be raised under the present existing plan,” he continued, “the people of the trict will pay the entire cost of the raise, or save the entire reduction. n seems, as & come uence, rather a far for the Con ’& on each de- ol th].l ley nuon. ancial or regu- One 'vay that Congress might solve the present problem wi'.h relation to the District, according to Mr. Coyle, woul be to increase the members of the board of District Commisisoners to five and give two of them seats in the House.

Crosby did not come within another clause of the organic act, which stipulates that the Commissioners appointed from civil life must have been residents of the District for three years grecedinl appointment. Senator Walsh argued that while Gen. Crosby had been assigned to duty in Washington for perhaps eight years, an Army officer is not free to claim residence where he hnspeu to be sta- tioned, because he is always subject to transfer elsewhere. Senator Walsh de- clared that under the rule that an old Esm&n.c; is never lutn;nul & new one , every Army is supposed anud&nrmauumwm hg entered Army. upporting this view, Senator nid that “Gen.

Belief that “substantial progress” has been made in the campaign to obtain national representation for the District of Columbia was voiced before the Re- publican School of Politics this morn- ing by Edward F. Colladay, Republican natfonal committeeman for the District. In discussing government of the Dis- trict, Mr. Colladay said he thought the majority of citizens were satisfied with the present form and that the only out- standing objection was that citizens do not have a voice in legislation affecting them. “This is a regrettable fact,” he said. “I am firmly of the opinfn that mem- bers of the Senate and House con- scientiously strive to serve the Dis- trict. They are burdened, lLowever, with matters of national importance and with matters of importance to their constituencies and few have time to devote proper attention to the needs of the District.

Acquitted of a charge of conduct un- becoming an officer by the unanimous vote of the Police Trial Board, Willlam F. Burke today was reinstated and re- turned to duty as a third precinct de- tective. The case against Burke resulted from his successful efforts to have Charles B. Murray, an assistant District at- torney, nolle prosse a charge of operat- ing a disorderly house )rlnud against Rose Marie Foster last November after her arrest at her apartment in the 1900 block of First street.
