- [ w LAND FOR PARKWAY LINK 1S ACQUIRED BY GRANT'S OFFICE: Only Few Small Parcels Still| in Process of Condemnation in Rock Creek Area. MONEY FOR JOINING SYSTEMS IS IN DOUBT Fate of District Funds Bill to De-| cide if Plan Can Be Com- { pleted at Once. ATV i The office of public buildines and ' public parks has now secured all the land in the Rock Creek and Pctomac | Parkway necessary for the construction | of the roadway to link up with the Po- | tomac system. Attorney Geneial Mitchell | 1s still working on some small parcels | which are in condemnation pro: -edings. | but the main acreage of th: new park- | way is now in the hands of the Fedaral Government. A proposal is to exchange certain parcels of land desired for park property with other areas accommodat- | g adjacent property owners. Officials of the office of Lieut. Col. | U. S. Grant, 3rd, director of public buildings and public parks, explained | y that if Congress appropriated sufficient funds now, the parkway could | be completed forthwith. Funds in Question. The fate of the District appropriation bill carrying $134,755 for the continua- | tion of the project for the coming fiscal year starting July 1, has the officials in a quandary as it has not been de- cided just exactly how the program will now work out. If the District supply measure fails of enactment. the opinion was expressed that Col. Grant's office will obtain $122,000 for the extension of the Rock Creek and Potomac Park- way, the same figure available during the cursent fiscal year. Plans of Col. Grant's office for the coming fiscal year have been to com- plete that section of the Rock Creek and Potomac parkway between Massa- chusetts avenue and the Q Street Bridge. Rock Creek parkway has now been provided with a road system from the District line southward to Massa- chusetts avenue, although there is still the question of by-passing the National Zoological Park to be worked out with Smithsonian Institute officials. Land Turned Over. Recently, a parcel of property near Connecticut avenue and Calvert street | at the rear of the Saddle Club has been turned over to the park division of the | office of public buildings and public ! parks. Officials explained today that | this will enable a roadway to be con- | Struoted et the ‘;ml/ of Twenty-fourth | ee give ingress and egress to | Rock Creek Park in that area. The rn:el just acquired there was needed or a right of way. Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary- land, has pending in the Senate a pro- posed amendment for the appropria- tion of $671,950, designed to complete | the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway | in time for the Washington bicenten- nial celebration in 1932. This program contemplates the extension of beach- drive northerly into Maryland to con- | nect with the projected park system in | Montgomery County, Md. MISS CLARA WILSON DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS!

CONNALLY REOPENS DEBENTURE QUESTION Texan Wants Farm Board to Put Plan in Effect in Emer- gencies. By the Associated Press The export debenture farm relief is- sue was raised again today with the introduction by Senator Connally, Demo- crat, Texas, of a resolution calling upon the Farm Board to put the debenture plan in effect in emergencies. The debenture plan, which failed of incorporation in the farm relief and tariff acts after opposition by President Hoover, is designed to give the farmers the benefit of the tariff on surplus crops by granting bounties equal to half the duties on such commodities when exported. Senator Connally proposed the reso- lution after holding up the debenture in the Senate yesterday as the only means of bringing agriculture up to a par with industry under the tariff.

He quickly made his way to her side and carried her | ashore at Sandy Beach, where other members of their party were in swim- ming off the Racar Club Camp. Companions administered artificial respiration. A motor boat was located, and with Russell Hauser of 7611 Thir- teenth street, an assistant cashier of the Park Saving Bank, at the controls, Miss Watkins was taken to the float of the Potomac Boat Club.

QUESTION OF POLICY IS DELAYED UNTIL FALL Ballou, Making Suggestion, Says No Action at This Time Could Bring About Legislation. A plea for the continuation of under- age kindergartens in the District public school system was voiced. before the Board of Education late yesterday, by Miss Catharine Watkins, = director of kindergartens, who characterized these schools for very young children as im- portant factors in character education and in social service, the elimination of which would be “a serious blow to progress here.” While Miss Watkins addressed herself to the kindergartens for 3 and 4 year- old children, which Representative Rob- ert Simmons of Nebraska condemned | during the hearings on the 1931 Dis- | trict appropriation bill, she declared, | under queries from board members, two classes of kindergarten pupils a d: rather than engage in the afternoon in training, When Miss Watkins had completed her address to +*he board the genera: and informal discussion which it pre- | cipitated was halted when Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, suggested that the question of the board's policy on kindergartens be delayed until the first meeting in September, Ballou ex- plained that if the House appropriatior bill containing legislative prcvisions covering the kindergarten situation is passed, the local school authorities might address themselves to changes | next year and if the Senaie bill, lack- ing those provisions, is passed the situation would remain urchanged anyway. Meanwhile, he said, no action the board might take at thie time, could effect congressional action. The board agreed to the suggestion. Protest Is Overruled. A protest was filed and cverruled at yesterday’s meeting by the Naben Co. of Philadelphia, low bidder on the high school cadet uniforms, whose bid was rejected for that of the Jacop | Reed's Sons of Philadelphia. At the outset of her address to the board, Miss Watkins asserted that the recommendation to close under-age kindergartens “is a serious blow to all progressive education” and that it would be so interpreted by thinking men and women throughout the coun- | try. In answer to the contention that the District stands virtually alone in the operation of kindergartens for very young children, Miss Watkins declared that in 26 States children of 4 years of age are enrolled and in 3, the en- rollment age is 3 years. Tracing the development of under- age kindergartens in the District, Miss Watkins said they were instituted here in 1919 when the first class was opened in Schott’s alley in the midst of an Italian community in northeast Wash- ington. There the teachers were able to inculcate modern ideas of child wel- fare and child training in the minds of mothers. The second of the four underage kindergartens opened here in the Sea- ton School on I street near Third street. There the teacher, on her own initia- tive, set up a hot-lunch program and an hour rest perfod to offset the evils of lack of appreciation of proper rest and diet in the children's homes. In the past year, Miss Watkins said, every child in that class gained weight. Gave Pupils More Advantages. ‘The third underage class was set up in the Webster Americanization School. This class not only gave the children themselves added advantages by awak- ening in their mothers appreciation of modern child care, but also permitted a greater number of mothers to attend the Americanization classes, where they were taught English and other traits of American citizenship. The fourth underage kindergarten Ninteenth and California streets, and is different in character from the other three, Miss Watkins explained. It first was operated in conjunction with the Child Research Center on Columbia road, taking the children who had out- grown it, thereby becoming a demon- stration center and a child laboratory, where Washington's educators might make their own scientific observations of child reaction, behavior and develop- ment. “This class was not set up,” Miss Watkins declared. “to permit mothers to play more bridge, as I've heard it charged. The mothers themselves at- tend the class in order to o-operate with the teachers.” When Miss Watkins had closed her address, Mrs. Mary McNeil, board men- ber, expressed the hope that more sal- arles could be established for ‘he work described by Miss Watkins. Dr. Charles F. Carusi, president of the board. who sald the address had given him new un- derstanding of the work, queried Miss Watkins in an effort to bring cut the necessity of drawing a line hetween “ed- ucational” responsibilities of the board and “physical” development such as offering treatment to crippled children and the purely “soclal service” activities. Declares Duties Overlap. Miss Watkins answered by asserting that “it is difficult to draw a ‘ine be- tween the strictly home duties and the school duties because they both overlap 50 broadly in the interest of the chil- dren.” She said the boundaries of du- ties of the home and school further a pend on the definition of ‘education She added she hopes to see the develop- ment of the work begun in the uncer- age kindergartens to embrace a compre- hensive course in pre-parental training for girls. Dr. Abram Simon commented upon the recommendation of the Bureau of Efficiency that the under age kinder- gartens be eliminated and brought out the fact that the bureau's investigators never questioned Miss Watkins, the outstanding expert on kindergartens in the Capital and a recognized kinder- garten authority from coast to coast, on her work. “In other words" Dr. S8imon asked, “If the Bureau of Efficiency had asked you about this work, it never could have made the recommendation it did make?"” Miss Watkins declared that she be- lieved it would not.

Forty members of the Police Depart- ment eligible for promotion were or- dered today by Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent, to take a physical ex- amination to qualify for an advance- ment which they will not get at this time in the event of the failure of Con~ gress to pass the District's 1931 appro- priation bill, Sixteen of the group are sergeants, all of whom will be advanced to the rank of ' eutenant if the deadlock on the appropriation bill is broken and if they pass the prescribed physical test. The others are privates, 16 of whom will replace the sergeants who are pro- moted. New Posts Created. The appropriation bill as approved by both the House and Senate, creates 16 additional lieutenancies in the po- lice force and adds 40 more members to the personnel of the headquarters detective bureau. If the bill fails to get out of conference, it will be impos- sible to fill these positions, and the 40 men will have taken the medical ex- amiration needlessly. Maj. Pratt, however, wants to have the men ready for promotion July 1, if the bill is passed. ‘The promotion of the 40 men is only one step in Maj. Pratt's plan for re- organization of the police force on July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year. Several score of other changes in personnel are contemplated, but all are dependent on the outcome of the ap- propriation bill. 20 Privates to Be Named. ‘The only definite arrangement made by Maj. Pratt is for the appointment of 20 privates to fill existing vacancies caused by separations from the service, deaths and retirements. An appropria- tion for their salaries is available and will be in the new fiscal year under a continuing appropriation which Con- gress will pass should the conferees be unable to agree to the amendments to the regular appropriation bill. The department, however, has been unable to fill these vacancies because of the lack of qualified candidates. Applicants who took the last eivil service examination have not been fully qualified. About 70 of them have passed the mental and physical tests, but the character investigation, the final step in establishing the eligibility of the appointees, has not yet been com- pleted. ‘Twenty of these candidates will be given positions as soon as their names are placed on the civil service eligible list. If the appropriation bill passes with the Senate amendment providing 25 additional privates, nearly all of the remaining candidates on the eligible list will be appointed.

Somervell and Aides Near Completion of Plans for Project. The United States Engineer office, under the direction of Maj. Brehon Somervell, District engineer for the War Department of the Washington area, is nearing the completion of pre- liminary plans, preparatory for starting work on the hydraulic fill across Hunt- ing Creek, Va.. the biggest section of this phase of the $1,000,000 job, which is a part of the Mount Vernon Memo- rial Highway program. Active work is expected to start at the end of July. E. A. Schmitt, engineer in Maj. Somervell's office, explained today that the pipe line trestle is being laid out in Hunting Creek. Upon this will be placed the discharge pipes from the dredge Welatka, which will bring sand and gravel from the bottom of the Potomac River, to deposit this material across Hunting Creek, as the founda- tion for the road bed.
