The Executive Committee was sum- moned to consider whether these mo- tions were in excess of the authority conferred on Mr. Clayton by his com- mittee. The motions were attacked, in a “keynote” by ‘Thomas "E.

Mr. Clayton, he said, should have taken his committee's reso- Jution to the Public Utilities Commis- sion, placed it before them and departed.

HALF HOLIDAYS END FOR U. S. EMPLOYES Full Saturday Schedule Resumed as Rumor of Executive Order Seems Unfounded. Scores of men and women represent- ing indirectly: the 54,000 Federal em- ployes in the District, who have called the Treasury Department in the last few days to trace a vagrant rumor, went about their work crestfallen today, con- vinced that it was only a rumor after all.

Resumption of the full-day schedule was in the nature of a final answer to all who have called the -‘Treasury Department to verify that President Hoover had de- clared the Saturday half-holiday a practice for all the year, Numerous efforts have been made to bring this about, some in the form of bills in Congress, but to date the only way the Federal employes can be grant- ed the holiday is by executive order of the President. Mr. Hoover granted it hours’ work should constitute a full day during June, July, August and Sep- tember. ‘The office of the chief clerk of the Treasury sald today that if the holi- day was to be extended word would Character- ts as rumor, an offi- guess there is much gloom.

FIRST PROSEGUTION UNDER SCHOOL LAW ?Assistant Corporation Coun- sel Reviews Truancy Case of Earl White. ‘The inability of a 13-year-old boy's parents to force him to attend school and the failure of school authorities to | make headway against the boy’s whim, | has resulted in the first prosecution case under the District’s new compulsory school attendance law. Thomas Gillespie Walsh, assistant corporation counsel, assigned to the Juvenile Court, has been given the task of reviewing Earl White's consistent re- fusal to attend school anywhere in the District as well as private tutoring which his parents attempted to provide for him in his own home. Mr. Walsh will decide on his course of action in the prosecution of the case after all the facts forwarded to him by the school authorities through the office of Miss Fay L. Bently, director of the office of school attendance and work permits. Earl, who lives with his parents, Mr. | and Mrs. Earl White, sr., at 501 I street southeast, first attracted attention of school officials in Octobre, 1927, when he played truant from the Dent School. His career of school hatred included since that time escape from the Friend- ship House, consistent refusal to stay in class at St. Theresa’s Parochial School and several examinations by psychiatrists. ~Finally, Mr. and Mrs. White permitted a tutor provided by the Juvenile Protective Association to undertake to instruct him in their home. Further rebellion greeted this effort. One psychiatrist has recommended that he be excused from further attend- ance at school, while another in the school system is convinced the boy is capable of being educated, and there- fore cannot be excused from further attendance as “non-educable.” ‘Whether the boy himself will be the subject of prosecution or the parents, who claim to have made efforts to send him to school, will be prosecuted under the law will rest with the decision reached by Mr. Walsh after his review of the case. The law includes both | parents and children in its jurisdiction. DOV LIMITED DIVORCE ASKED BY P. A. ETHERIDGE, JR. Suit Charges Wife Denies Him Right to See His Infant Daughter. Palmer A.

He asks the court to pass on the ques- tion of the custody of the infant and to provide for his visits to the Ilittle one. ‘The husband says he was married at Annapolis, Md., August 1, 1927, and that he lived at the home of his wife's parents until January, last, when, he says, he was ordered from the house by her brother on a threat of bloodshed. The baby was born July 19, last, and he did not know of it until four days later, he asserts, and when he sought to see it at the hospital was refused permission. He finally saw the baby September 1, but has not since been permitted to see the child. Attorney Jacob N.
