BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Many members of Congress who have read the report of the National Ad- visory Committee on Education said they wouldn’t touch the issue raised therein with a 40-foot pole. { Their view was that not only was| the time not propitious for increasing the number of Federal departments, but that the fight for and against a Fed-| eral department of education had | merely reopened an old political sore, with the representatives of Catholic | education lined up in a minority re- port against, the idea and the repre- sentatives of general education favor- ng it. While the committee was appointed by President Hoover, acceptance of lts report by him is not' mandatory, as the committee is wholly unofficial and its studies were financed by private funds. But the chances are that Mr. Hoover will recommend the general principle advocated in the report and that Con- gress will be the final judge of how the recommendations shall be carried out. Report Held Compromise. ! The majority report is an apparent | compromise between two points of view, | those who favor centralization of cer- | tain supervisory powers in education in the Federal Government and those who want the whele educational process | reserved to the state and city govern- | ments with the Federal Department of Education as merely a statistical gath- ering agency such as is the present office of education in the Interior De- partment. control of education, the majority gives the distinct impression that any Fed- eral department would not interfere in local handling of education. If this is to be the case, the Catholic repre- sentatives ask, then what is the ulti- mate purpose of enlarging the present educational bureau and making it a department with a cabinet official at its head unless eventually the powers of the Federal department are to be | increased. Department Existed in 1867. For years the question of a Federal | department of education has been agitated. In fact, back in 1867 there was such a department, and there never has been any real opposition to the idea of giving education a place at the President's _eabinet table. The objection raised has always been as to how far such a department would go in inferfering with parochial schools or how far it woulud endeavor to con- [trol state expenditure of funds and their administration by local officers. About. $2,000,000,000 a year is spent for ‘education in America. It is the biggest single item in local government budgets. The theory of Federal en- ;much debate. The committee’s report, which is the result of a year's study by as prominent a group of educators | s ever has beén assembled, is strongly | insistent on continued local control, but | the majority of the signers see an op- portunity for valuable co-ordination work by the proposed Federal depart- | ment of education. “A Federal deg)!rune'nL headed by a secretary in thé President's cabinet,” say the two Catholic education repre- sentatives on the committee, Right“Rev. Edward A. Pace and Right Rev. George Johnson, “is of its very nature an ad- ministrative institution and nothing that | could be written.into any act.setting up such 4 department could prevent it from taking on administrative and directive functions "in the course of time, even though it would not be en- dowed with them in the beginning.” Minority Oppose Plan. The minority also argued that since | the new secretaty would be a political appointee, he would respond to pres- sure and be amenable to the wishes | of the political party in power. he foregoing viewpoint is essentially has been said on the stump in the debates on a Federal department of education. The last two national conventions in their platform planks did not define the issue, but the Demo- crats leaned away from the Federal department idea, presumably because of their States' rights tradition, When Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, him- self a college president and noted edu- cator, became Secretary of the In- | terior he announced a program of help- fulness on the part of the Office of | Education, which is a bureau in his department. He stressed the need for co-ordination and his speech yon ap- | plause from all groups. 1 In fact, it has been suggested that the precedent established by Mr. Hoo- ver in making an educator the head of th Depatment of the Interior would enable any President of the United States in the future to carry out the ! purposes of the majority report just | rendered without any additional legis- lation or specific authority. This would suit most members of Congress, who | feel that any issue involving a decision on the moot question of religious | edg’c:z&mmm the sehools and_kindred subjec political dynamite ang | into party lines. i TWO GYPSY WOMEN HELD TO GRAND JURY | t ) Patients of Doctor Are Charged With Telling His Fortune and Swindling Him of $36.

Dr. Stuart told Judge Isaac R. Hitt the women had asked him for some money to “wave about” before reading his palm.

ROVING that perhaps Dubu- quian wives had best remain at home and that the pop of champagne corks is a dis. astrous pastime for them in Paris, “As Husbands Go,” the new Rachel Crothers play, is a diverting little comedy, as comfortable asa pudding and quite as innocu- ous. Last night's audience at the National Thea- ter “laughed its head off” at the first act and at part of the second, and then _settled down to the mild whimsies of the final un- ravelings which have to do with a husband who Catharine Doucet. 15 50 8000 e —if such could ever be. Miss Crothers’ prologue, showing two Middle West squaws intent upon doing as the Parisians do, and be- having like two subnormal young- sters let loose from school, is a rollicking satire on American ladies who left the left bank and the muddy waters of the Seine throw them off balance.

With the prologue disposed of, Miss Crothers returns these two women to their proper setting in the glum Middle West and begins to strip them of their continental day dreams. Emmie Sykes, played fault- lessly by Catharine Doucet, Wwho brings back her gentleman treasure with her—his name is “Hippy’— finds that he is something of an an- tique in a normal American house- hold, and the young writer, after following his inamorata into the very teeth of her home, discovers that under ordinary American elec- tricity- she lacks the fire she had when more romantically launched in a Parisian bar. The ending is as you suspect it will be, except that you feel like shooting the husband of the lady who has had her fling with the writer, since his heart is so “big"” throughout and his speeches so re- plete with honey that even when he is partially inebriated, he seems just too good to live.

IBVING SELIG with his “Tango Girls” at the Gayety this week is presenting what seems to be the best all-around burlesque show of the year. | It is a combination of mirth producers, | educated feet and an entertaining bunch of pretty girl entertainers. The bur- | lesque pulses along with rhythm, click- ing away at top speed. | _ Irving Selig, ably supported by Artle | Lloyd, Al Anger and Herbert Barris, | has one of the smoothest concocticns of comedy makers to be found in the | circuit and Herbert Barris, straight | man, is the necessary foil for many brilliant jests and bits of satire of an original brand. . Much also may be said in favor of Tangara, Nell Casson and Jeanne Steele, especiall Nell Casson, who probably gets rather tired answering the demands for encores. Buddy Rose also uses her well curned feet to purpose again and again in obliging the happy fans. “Home Town Minstrels” with many lavish scenes is outstanding in a gen- erally fine show.
