PORTABLE SUPPORT * PLANTO GET TEST Stringer; Along Beams Are Désigned to Protect Schools i From Wind. An experiment in’ construction de- | signed to fortify portables against wind damage will be tried out on one of the « five Wesley Heights portable school houses tomotrow, it was announced yesterday by Jere J. Craue, first as- sistant superintendent in charge of schaool business affairs. Mz. Crane, in consultation with Mu- mc:xu Architect Albert L. Harris and menibers of that official's staff, evolved a plan of extending 2x4-inch stringers along the outer edge of the extended gable roof beams. These stringers would be securely fastened to the roof beamtis and in turn anchored to the ver- ticle walls of the structures by other 2x4’s at intervals along the whole length of the building. ‘was<@dopted as the most expedient, in viewDst the possibility of frequent wind storiis’ at this season of the year. Mr. Crane said every effort will be made 1o complete the work tn one of the five Wesley Heights portables by ‘Tuesday, so that the Board of Educa- tion's committee on buildings, grounds and equipment may inspect the job preparatory to attending the full meet- ing of the board the following day. If the plan is found successful, it is ex- pected that all the 65 portahl's will be 80 strengthened. The work would be done by the District repair shop. LEISURE CLASS HELD GOVERNMENT NEED| Favored by Commissioner of Edu- cation Cooper to Solve Demo- cratic Rule by Science. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 13—~William J. Cooper, United States commissioner of education, today said hope for solu- tion of the problem of democratic gov- ernment lies in the creation of a leisure class that will devote itself to the serv- ice of the Government. Mr. Cooper spoke at the final session of the two-day convention of the East- ern States conference of the institu- tions for the professional education of teachers; attended by 500 educators. ¥ “Our Government has been described as one of, by and for the people,” he said. “I doubt if it will ever be a Gov- ernment for the people until your pro- fession recognizes its full responsibilities. + It will not be a Government for the yeople until its problems are handled for solution by the wisest and the wisest and best among us.” Mr. Cooper sald the sixth grade rep- resented the average instruction reached by w of this country before the World War, adding that at has attained the equivalent of the first grade of high school. “Try to imagine the difficulty of solv- ing the problems faeing us with a col- This method | ¢ | thoughts or criticism th | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

COOLIDGE ARTICLE Possible Counter-Attack in 1932 Is Averted, Though There Are Skeptics. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Politically speaking, an event of no small importance to the Hoover admin- istration occurred last week, when Cal- !vin Coolidge revealed in his magazine | article that he has no intention of re- turning to public life. It means that one of the most danger- ous counter-attacks which could have been made on Mr. Hoover's political future has been eliminated. Mr. Cool- idge may or may not approve all that Mr, Hoover done—no two men can do things the same way in the presi- dency, anyhow—but whatever inner e former Presi- dent may have will not become the nucleus of an effort to wrest the nomi- nation from Mr. Hoover in 1932, and spln'm: Republican party, as happened lective education that has not yet | 1912 reached a full high school course. Imagine this and you will see the tre- mendous burden that lies upon us who are engaged in educational work.” - DR. BUTLER PREDICTS GRADUAL DISARMING Lauds Pact of Paris and Sees World Court Ratification Here Before Many Weeks. — By the Associated Prass. NEW YORK, April 12—Reviewing the accomplishment of the past year toward universal peace, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, in the annual report of the division of intercourse and educa- tion of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, made public today, said that armaments “will not disappear in an instant, but once their effective * limitation is begun, the force of eco- nomic and moral gravitation will do the rest. “The full significance of the 't of « Paris (the Kel -Briand multilateral treaties), which fenounces war as an instrument of national ?olicys' sald Dr. Butler, who is_presiderit of the endow- ‘ment, “is day by day becoming clearer. By its terms the war maker becomes the law breaker, the freedom of the seas becomes a matter of course and security 1s no longer a mntger tgfl:flr}iflclfl?r;‘g( Jong-ran, ns, of submarines. of b= uu'{nps fifrg;nmn gas or of bombing airplanes. “It is a rnnltzrdo{hfl;e ll!eep(};ng of the d word, an at alone.’ Ple%lg: report added that “It is not to be doubted that before many weeks the United States will have ratified the re- vised protocol of the World Court. Dr. Butler also wrote of the Interna- . tional Bank and the need of readjusting nits of currency of the various ::?m‘:m to facilitate their conversion one to the other. TRANSFERS ORDERED FOR ARMY OFFICERS Important to Party. This is important not alone to Mr. Hoover, but to the party as a whole, and to members of Congress who might have been drawn into such an internal cleav- age. Affirmatively, it is helpful to the President, because, for several weeks, the name of Coolidge has been men- tioned so often in political discussions that it has indicated a possible can- didacy in 1932. And the moment any considerable number of people about nominating some one el or even xu}mfln‘ that some one will be a rival for the presidential nomina- tion it weakens the incumbent’s hold on his own ”u‘?i Mr. Coolidge’s statement, therefore, olears the air and leaves to Mr. Hoover the renomination field, unembarrassed by a former President, who alone could expect to wield with former office hold- ers and political leaders an influence c;nmpcrable to that of the titular leader of the 5 Gratitude is expressed in administra- tlon quarters here that Mr. Coolidge squelched the movement on his behalf so promptly, and that he did not allow it to grow to such proportions that it would have been difficult to repress at a later date. Views of Skeptics. Incidentally, there are skeptics who regard even the Coolidge utterance as a lece of politics. They insist Mr. Cool- ?dxe is getting himself on record early, and that he will not feel ble for any movement that might conceivably develop to draft -him for 1832, if the party faces an emergency. So far as the Democrats are con- cerned, they would prefer Hoover to Coolidge in 1932, They think their chances of success are better, and they point out that if Mr. Oonllgg: were the nominee he would run on own rec- ord and the prosperity of his era in office, whereas Mr. Hoover is compelled to run on the record his administration will have made between March, 1929, and November, 1933, and will have to face the fll-effects, if any, that may p;rsina;'u & consequence of the panic of 1929, From a political viewpoint, the Cool- idge announcement is most significant. It concentrates the attack on Mr. Hoo- ver, and it also concentrates the Hoover strength within the Republican party as the single leadership on which the vari- ous elements in the party must stakc | their fortunes in the 1032 election. jomas M.

POLITICAL STUDENTS GET THEIR REWARD : BENEFITS HOOVER Sugar Tests Fail To Get Convicted Sheriff Freedom Quarter-Spoonful Differ- ence Figures in Marquette, Mich., Liquor Hearing. By the Associated Press. MARQUETTE, Mich, April 12—The difference between a half and a quar- ter teaspoonful of sugar in its effect as producing beer or just near beer brought abcut the conviction of Sheriff John 8. Johnson of Gogebic County, Mich, Iate yesterday in Federal Court here on charges of manufacturing and possessing beverage containing more than cne-half of 1 per cent alcohol. Sheriff Johnson, owner of a bottling plant at Bessemer, Mich.,, was indicted as responsible for the manufacture there of beer by John Seeke, who was g]lced in charge of the plant when Jol n took office on January 1, 1927. Government chémists testified that analysis of brew selzed in the plant last November showed 1.36 to 2.20 alcoholic content. Johnson declared that if such were the case it proved only that Seeke did not follow instructions on how to make near beer. He detailed what he sald were his instructions, placing emphasis on a quarter teaspoonful of sugar as the portion for a certain quan- tity of the beverage. The defense then introduced Dr. George John of Detroit, who told the | jury that the formuia would produce near beer with the legal alcoholic con- tent of 0.46 per cent. Seeke testified, however, that John- son’s directions were to use “one-fourth to one-half a teaspoonful of sugar.” John Matchett, Government chemist, was called into court last Tuesday an in | directed to make a brew under Seeke's direction. Yesterday he returned to re- rt from the witness stand that the m]r so made tested 0.86 per cent alco- Johnson's attorney announced that they will appeal the conviction to the Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati. Sentence was deferred. SENATORS WIND UP FUND BILL STUD District Appropriation Bill May Be Acted On by End of Week.

By Radio to The Star. (Copyright, 1930, New York Tribune, Inc.) LONDON, April 12.—The battle of salt in India has now lasted almost a ! weck without decisive advantage to either side. Accompanied by picked volunteers, Mahatma Gandhi has marched to the sea and the salt laws have been ceremonially broken by the extraction of small quantities of un- palatable salt. All over Ind! Nationalists have fol- lowed his exar ple of violation of the government salt monopoly as the first step in the campaign of civil disobedi- ence designed to bting about independ- ence. Although it does not appear that the campaign has yet touched the cient success in some localities to make thf task of government officials dili- cult. kecpln§ cool, and it is evident that they are following instructions to act as un- provocatively as possible. Officials Ignore Gandhi. Some Nationalists have been arrested, either for breaking the salt laws them- selves or for inciting others to do so, and have been sentenced to varying terms of imprisonment. Gandhi him- self, although equally guilty, has not been touched. Such procedure has dis- concerted the Mahatma, who had count- ed on immediate arrest. Now deprived —for the time being, at any rate— of a martyr's crown, the salt has lost some of its savor for him. The Indian government has taken the view that at present Gandhi at large is much less dangerous than Gandhi in jail. His arrest might well lead to a rapid spread of the civil disobedience movement, while his continued freedom may cause the attempt to defeat the salt monopoly to become a little ridiculous and peter out. So far, therefore, the battle is a drawn one, but the situation remains tente and potentially explosive. Struggle Involves Viceroy. Essentially the stmrle is resolving itself into a personal duel between two very unusual personalities—Gandhi on the one hand and the viceroy, Lord Ir- win, on the other.

PITTSBURG, Kans., April 12.—The first action of mine operators in the Kansas-Missouri district against recog- nition of the insurgent United Mine ‘Workers of America organization head- ed by Alexander Howat was taken today when the operators withheld the “checkoff” from all except nine local mine unions. ‘The action was taken under isntruc- tions from W. A. Johnson, Kansas City, general commissioner of the South- west Interstate Coal Operators’ Asso- ciation. The “checkoff” is the fund col- lected by assessments against every union miner in the field and turned over to the local union secretaries by the operators. The “checkoff” money is used to pay union dues, fines, relief and other fees. In a referendum last Thursday in- surgent leaders announced miners in the district voted approximately 1,700 to 40 to send their national dues to the Howat organization at Springfield, 1, instead of to the regular organi- zation headed by President John L. Lewis, Indianapolis. Henry Allai, appointed provisional president of the district, denied the in- surgents’ claim that the referendum showed that the bulk of the miners were behind Howat. Allai said there were 5000 union miners in the dis- trict and most of them did not parti- cipate in the referendum as the result of a warning that to do so would jeop- ardize their standing in the regular union. Action of the operators in withhold- ing the “checkoff” funds will prevent the dues being sent to the Howat branch of the Union. MIST BEDIMS MOON IN PARTIAL ECLIPSE Bare Evidence of Earth’s Shadow Visible in Their Area From 12:21 to 12:28 AM. Washington craned its neck last night and early this morning for a glimpse of the widely heralded eclipse—and was disappointed. In the first place the spectacle, even had conditions been at théir best. was inconsequential since only .11 of the moon’s surface was obscured by the earth’s shadow. ' - As - the moon sped on its course about the earth, it skimmed into the edge of the shadow caused by this planet’s passage through the sun’s light. It was 12:21 am. when the first. darkened area of earth’s shadow was visible on the moon and at 12:58 a.m. the patch of shadow had reached its maximum by covering slightly more than a tenth of the moon’s diameter. The conditions were bad since. the mist and clouds formed an almost im- penetrable veil through which lay ob- servers could not penetrate. Hundreds of persons telephoned The Star office for information about the schedule@ eclipse as early as 7:30 o'clock last night. At that time the United States Weather Bureau held out hopes for a compara~ tively clear sky, but at midnight the mist put in its appearance. - RETIRED OFFICER DIES Col. H. W.
