Share $12,000,000. (Continued From First Page.) | Michigan avenue by ouilding the via- duct just north of the grade crossing. As reported by the Senate committee, the bill carries $8,000 for rent for the House of Detention. The House elimi- nated the rental item with a view to having the Woman'’s Bureau and deten- tion home quartered in one of the structures being acquired by the city in the Munitipal Center area, but a number of local organizations appealed to the Senate subcommittee on District appropriations not to require this insti- tution to move again. Another item allowed by the Senate committee was $45,000 to permit ap- pointment of 25 additional policemen to enable the department to conduct a training school for bluecoats without :leduci.ng the number of men on patrol luty. The Senate committee made $300,000 immediately available as soon as the bill becomes law to buy a site and oegin work on the children’s tuberculosis sanatorium, which Congress authorized last year. Of this amount, $150,000 is a new appropriation and the remainder is the unexpended balance of an appro- priation made by Congress last year. In addition to making this amount immediately available, the committee authorized the District to enter into contract up to $530,000. Under the Traffic Bur the Senate committee reduced the item for install- ing electric traffic lights from $103,000 allowed by the House to $53,000. ‘The provision placed in the bill by the House, appropriating $25,000 to make a study of the power needs of the District with a view to establishing a municipal- ly owned and operated service, was eliminated by the Senate committee. Under the heading of public schools the Senate committee struck out $255,000 for a 12-room addition to the Gordon Junior High School, but added to other school items a total of $521,580. In the item for salaries of administra- tive and supervisory officers in the school system, the Senate committee in- cluded pay for presidents of teachers’ colleges in the salary schedule for first assistant superintendents, which raised the total for salaries in this group from $664,500 to $669,500, Salaries Are Increased. For personal services of clerks and other employes in the schools the House item of $154,800 was increased to $161,300. This increase of $6,500 included salary increases of $2,180 and two clerks to the presidents of teachers’ colleges and one additional clerk. An increase of $83,160 was made in the item for teachers’ salaries, making the figure $6,272,000. In addition to striking out the proviso for transfer of a number of kindergarten teachers to the grade schools, the Senate commit- tee added language to include “for teachers’ colleges assistant professors in salary class 3 with additional compen- sation of $300 per annum each.” The fund for the Community Center Department was raised from $42,000 to $45,000. For personal services in the care of school buildings and grounds, the Sen- ate committe: added $20,020 for salary increases, making the total $806,210. Another increase of $1,000 for trans- portation of tubercular and crippled pupils. The House had allowed $19.- 000 in two separate items, one for the tubercular pupils and the other for the crippled children. The Senate com- mittee combined the two and made the total $20,000. Another important Senate change was the striking out of a House provision | which read as follows: “No money appropriated in this act for the purchase of furniture and equip- ment for the public schools of the Dis- trict of Columbia shall be expended unless the requisitions of the Board of Education therefor shall be approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia.” For personal services in connection with the distribution of text books $9,000 was added, raising the total item for text books and supplies from $231,000 to $240,000. Provide Gym and Assembly Hall. ‘The amounts added by the Senate committee under the heading of public school buildings and grounds were: For the construction of a four-room addition to the Congress Heights &chool, $130,000, an increase of $40,000, to pro- ;mlf for a gymnasium and assembly all. For treatment of grounds, including walks, sewers and water mains on the site acquired in the Northeast for a Jjunior high school and platoon school for colored puplils, $50,000. For construction of an 8-room addi- tion at the Douglass Simmons Echool, including the necessary remodeling of the present building, $140,000 For the construction of a four-room addition to the Deanwood School the Senate committee raised the allowance from $50,000 to $100,000 to provide for a gymnasium and assembly hall, For purchase of a site for an eight room extensible building west of Con- necticut avenue and north of Jenifer street, and for the purchase of land ad: joining the Harrison School, the Sen- ate committee raised the lump sum for purchase of ground from $360,700 to $458,200, an increase of $97,500 for the entire list of sites. The Senate committee raised the item for personal services for the free pub- | lic liibrary from $276,040 to $282,330, an increase of $8,290 for salary increases. H Street Widening Favored. Under the heading of street and road improvement and repair, the Senate committee provided for the widening of H street from Massachusetts avenue to Thirteenth street northwest, whereas the House had provided only for the widening from Seventh street west- | ward. This raised the allowance for | this project from $103,000 to $133,000, with authority to enter into contracts up to the amount of $191,000. Other street improvement items added by the Senate committee were: Oglethorpe street, Seventh to Eighth, ) Adams_1450. ‘Wanted—Load New York, Philadeiphia, Richmond. %ulm T, and Fifisburen.

Prominent church and lay leaders, addressing 200 delegates and guests at a banquet last night in the Mayflower Hotel closing the fourth annual conven- tion of the National Catholic Alumni Federation, emphasized the need of a vision in life and the necessity of train- ing college youths to translate such visions into action. Rev. Dr. William S. Kerby, editor of the Ecclesiastical Review, and Repre- sentative James M. Beck of Pennsyl- vania, two of the principal speakers, particularly stressed this point in dis- cussing the value of an education and the weaknesses in the modern educa- tional system. Delegates to the feder- ation represented 52 Catholic colleges and universities affiliated with the or- ganization, who had been in session here since Friday. Pope Sends Blessing. William E. Leahy of Washington, alumnus of Holy Cross College and the Georgetown University Law School, toastmaster, read a radiogram from Pope Plus XI transmitting the blessings of the holy see.
