CARUSTHOLDS U. S SCHOOLS LEADING Head of Education Boardf Addresses National U. at Opening. The United States is far ahead of Europe in the development of adult part-time educational opportunities, Dr. Charles F. Carusi, president of the Dis- trict of Columbia Board of Education, declared last night in an address at the formal opening of the sixty-second Fall term of National University, of which he is chancellor. At the same time, while American ed- ucation is characterized by a democracy which affords collegiate education to worthy men and women of virtually every sge and station, European coun- tries persist in continuing professional and political education as a monopoly ©f the wealthy Dr. Carusi said. Just Back From Europe. ‘The District School Board president feturneq to Washington Wednesday from Europe where, during the Summer, he completed a 15-year comparative study of educational opportunities in the leading nations of Europe and the United States. Commenting upon this study lsst night, he said he was con- vinced that in spite of the prestige ‘which surrounds colleges and univer- sities of antiquity, no better opportu- nities to secure education exist any- ‘where than in this country. Because of the very democracy in American educa- tion in both private and public institu- tions Carusi declared that opportunities in many forms “are available to an immensely superior number of indi- viduals” here than could possibly be hoped for abroad in the face of class distinction and narrow, antiquated policies. “The growing number of adult men and women studying law, business ad- ministration and economics and gov- ernment throughout, the United States,” Dr. Carusi declared, “is an evidence of the wide-spread appeal of these subjects and their practical utility in a highly industrialized country like the United States where business is not only the main occupation but is practiced on almost professional lines. 'mands are therefore made upon the business man of the United States for special and scientific training which are not de- manded of the small manufacturers or ess men of the older countries of “Recognition of these demands 15 re- sulting in a rapid mu}g‘m dche ‘I‘m- portance of adult part e _education and in *the number of institutions in this field.” Demonstrates Success. Commenting briefly upon National University which, he pointed cut, was launching the Fall term with the t freshman class in its history and with a total has passed enrollment which al- 1,000 mark, the school board pi t said that by limiting itself to the field of law, gov- success is a locai the wide interest in . Carusi paid tribute to the late former Senator Sterling of South Da- kota, who for a number of years was one of National's most pcpular faculty members. Sefatcr Sterling was dean of a State university law school before he came to Congress, and he served as dean of two thlnfi?n law schools during the 15 years before his death last Summer. The vacancy created on National’s faculty by the death of the South Dakotan, Carusi announced, is filled this by Judge Fenton W.

VIRGINIA WILL SUE FOR HIGHWAY LAND Condemnation to Be Started to Obtain Lee Boulevard Right-of-Way. BY a Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., September 27.— Condemnation proceedings against the few remaining pieces of property which the State has failed to obtain for the right-of-way for the Lee Boulevard are to be filed within the next 10 days, according to word brought back from Richmond by B. M. Hedrick, supervisor of Arlingten district, and Robert H. Forman, Arlington County zoning ad- minftrator, following a conference with officials of the Virginia State Highway Commission. The suits are to be of a friendly nature, it was sald, permitting the owners of any property in question to negotiate with the commission between the filing of the suits and the time they reach the court. They will be brought more in an effort torcrystalize the efforts of the State and county authorities to the point where bids for the grading of the highway may be sought. Assistance Offered. Hedrick went. to Richmond for the purpose of offering any assistance pos- sible by the board of county supervisors in the matter of completing the acquisi- :En of rlfihtl-o;-wny lx'lntll>¥bl‘lnll';1 for e ‘purpose . of consulting . highway officiais with respect to zoning and set- back lines along the route. Of the entire stretch of the boule- vard through Arlington County there are but a few pieces of property against which it will be necessary to institute condemnation proceddings for the 200- {foot right-of-way, it is said, and a num- ber of these are expected to furnish deeds before the cases go to court. There has been some difficulty in ob- taining clear titles to some of the property, due to the fact that the owners are living out of the county or that they belong to unsettled -estates, it was said, but the State has indicated a willingness to accept the title where 1t is reasonably clear, expecting to work out the details later. Commonwealth's Attorney William C. Gloth represents the State Highway Commission here, and it is through his office that the titles are being searched. W. 8. Hoge, jr, who has spent much time on the boulevard work reports that the progress being made by Qloth is ,rapid and that the end of what for a time seemed an endless task is now in sight. Grading This Winter, Hedrick was told in Richmond that bids for the grading would be advertised for just as soon as a clear right-of-way is assured and that the work should be completed during the Winter in order that the laying of concrete mgy com- mence in the Spring. Officlals anticipate the laying of a 30-foot pavement to start, he was informed, but expect that it will not be long before a much wider thoroughfare will be constructed. One of the principal reasons for Forman'’s trip was to learn whether per- sons living along the right-of-way would be permitted to construct roads from their property across the unused right- of-way to the pavement. He was as- sured that they would be and that the State would accept’ the recommenda- ; tions of local zoning officials as to zon- ing and setback along the highway. Hedrick pointed out the unempioy- ment situation now existant in urging that the work be done during the Winter, explaining that it would furnish employment for many persons who might otherwise suffer during the cold months, I LARGER CUBAN SUGAR FORECAST IS DENIED! Senator Gutierrez, Leader of Indus- try, Cables Committee on Sales Here. By the Assoclated Press. HAVANA, September 27.—Blunt de- nial of a statement attributed to Pres- ident Machado in which the President was quoted as prophesying an increased sugar output for this country in 1931 has been cabled to the United States by Senator Viriato Gutierrez, recognized leader of the Cuban sugar industry. The cable was sent to Thomas L. Chadbourne, president of the Cuban- American Committee on Sugar Sales, who will leave New York today for Cuba to_confer with sugar leaders here. It not only denied that the 1931 Cu- ban sugar crop would exceed the 1930 crop by 1,000,000 tons, as an attache of the department of agrieulture had quot- ed President Machado es stating in a that the 1931 output might be smaller than this year's.

H. fowlett, hysiclan, con- et peag e P i Two-thirds of the CANDIDATES FAVOR | NEW POLICE PLAN Prince Georges Democrats Would Separate Force From Sheriff’s Office. BY GEORGE PORTER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., September 27.—Separation of the Prince. Georges County police force from the sherifl’s office, and establishment of an in- dependent department under the direction of a chief of police, is favored by all Democratic candidates for the State Legislature, according to an an- nouncement by party leaders today. The pledge of the Democratic candi- dates is in effect an assurance that the new police system will be authorized should they bz elected, for it is a time- honored custom of the Legislature to adopt county measures when the county delsgation is united. Agreed Before Primaries. The pledge in regard to the change of management and direction of the police force was actually made prior to the primaries, it was stated, each legislative asnirate having agreed to the'| change before being given the organiza- tion’s backing. 2 These who are on record in favor of the new system are State Senator Lans- dale G. Sasscer, who is running for re: election to the upper house, and Kent R, Mullikin, Willlam F. Keys, J. Guy Bell, William H. Anglin, Charles G. Marbury and William E. Clifton. The new system, if put into effect, will be similar to that of Montgomery County, in that it will require the creation of the office of chief of police. Under the present system the sheriff is also chief of police. Give Best Possible System. Crystallization of sentiment in favor of the change among the substantial element of the county, and belief that the transfer is in line with the party's policy of giving the country the best possible Pollce protection, are given as the chief reasons for the willingness on the part of party leaders and legislative cl:lgll]iltes to give the proposed system a trial. ‘ The growth of the metropolitan area of the county, requiring a more modernized method of policing, is also cited by the leaders and candidates as one of the reasons which led them to approve the establishment of a system in Prince Georges that is reported in successful operation in other communties similarly confronted Wfll the problem of rapid suburban growth. The details of the system, such as methods of discipline, and co-operation with the sheriff’s office, have not been workout, it being felt that such mat- ters should properly be developed election. Separation Long Favored. Separation of the police force and the sheriff’s office has long been favored by many influential organiza- tions of the county and was sought by some of them at the lgst session of the Legislature, Everyone, even the proponents of the measure at that time, agreed that-it was desirable to have the police force serve civil processes, which are ex- ceptionally numerous in Prince Georges County. The Attorney General of Maryland ruled, howéver, that the provision em- powering police to serve civil processes, as contained in the proposed bill sub- mitted in 1929, was unconstitutional. ‘The question of serving civil e has been one of the chief stumbling blocks in the path of those who have attempted to agree on the manner which the separated police force an sherifl’s office shall be handled. Criminal Work Alone. At present, party leaders say, it l&- pears that should the Democrats victorious and authorize an independ- ent police department, the o s would confine their work -to criminal lines unless, of thelr own volition, they | volunteered to assist the sheriff and his deputies with the civil process. The Democratic. candidate for sheriff also understands, it is pointed out, that if his party is victorious he will not be chief of police. ——— FLORIDA MOB FLOGS 5 COLORED BELLBOYS “Liquor and Vice” Charged, Police Told by One of Victims Fol- lowing Abduction.
