Wickersham believes more strongly than ever that a referendum on prohibition is needed. Sixteen months after winding up the work of the notable crime study com- mission which bore his name, Wicker- sham expressed the conviction in an in- | terview yesterday that a vote on altering the eighteenth amendment through State conventions would do much good by crystallizing what he termed the “sober, hiformed and deliberate opinion of the' people.” Silence Abandoned He knew, he said, that several mem- bers of his commission “held the same opinion. In this interview Wickersham | abandoned the complete silence he had clung to steadfastly in regard to the commission’s work. He was asked about the apparent discrepancy between the conclusions appended to the report and the views e ssed by a majority of the members in their individual expres- sions. While the summary set forth that “the commission is opposed to re- peal of the eighteenth amendment,” the greater number of the commissioners argued the dry law should be changed in some way. H Opinions Reviewed. “Six of the members,” replied Wick- ersham, “felt in varying degrees that prohibition was not a success in its form at that time. Four of us felt that it was not being enforced properly, but that sufficient opportunity had not been ven to judge it a failure. One mem- T (Newton D. Baker) felt that the whole question should be remitted at once to the States. All were opposed to a return of the saloon.” ‘Wickersham said he felt the prohibi- tion investigation and report had over- shadowed unduly the great body of work done by the commission on other angles of law enforcement, but he believed that results from this other and more valu- able labor were in process of realization. ANN HARDING NOW ‘CAREER DIVORCEE’ Flies Back to Hollywood After Quick Decree by Reno Courts. By the Associated Press. _ HOLLYWOOD, May 9—Ann Hard- ing and Harry Bannister were started on separate paths today after their quick *career divorce” at Reno. Miss Harding returned here in her own airplane and Bannister piloted his airplane back. She went to the Hill- top Mansion, where they lived as “Hollywood's ideal married couple” and he registered at a Beverly Hills hotel. Bannister said he would confine his work to motion pictures. He was a leading stage actor, and Miss Hard- ing was a lesser known member of the cast of his show, when they first met in New York. In Hollywood, he said, he was referred to too often as “Ann Harding’s husband.” CHILD, 3, AND PARENTS DIE AS TRAIN HITS CAR| Two Persons Critically Injured and Five Leap to Safety From Auto. By the Associated Press. BENTON, Ky., May 9.—A three-year- old\gir] and her parents were hlledyand two critically injured when a train crashed into a truckload of merry- Jmakers near here yesterday. Five on the truck jumped to safety. The dead are Charles Gordon, driver of the truck, Mrs. Gordon and their daughter, mary Elizabeth Gordon, 3. A son, John Lee Gordon, 5, and Martha Holly, 17, were critically injured and are not e to survive. A North Carolina and St. Louis pas- senger train struck the truck on High- way 68, and the shattered fragments of the truck were dragged 75 yards before the train could be halted.

(Continued Prom Pirst Page.) effects on the schools represents “economies” produced by various legis- lative provisions in the bill as it has been passed. These sums follow: Allowance for teachers and librarians on probation, $8,500; additional allow- ance for teachers and librarians on temporary tenure. $13,400; additional allowance for teachers and librarians on leave of absence, $16,031; additional allowance for teachers promoted from class 2A to class 2C, $1,836, and addi- tional allowances for teachers promoted for superior work, $6,600. A Handicap to Ambition. Perhaps the most vicious of this list of economies is the $16,031 cut for teachers and librarians on leave of absence. This is the “economy” which gives the lackadasical teacher who is content to remain quietly in her posi- tion a distinct financial advantage over her more ambitions sister who goes off to college for additional training to increase her fitness to instruct the children of the Capital. As the salary act is administered at present, a teacher may take leave of absence for educational purposes. There is no pro- vision in law to give her any pay while she is on this leave, as there is in many cities, so the teacher who would seek further training simply takes the leave without any pay. Now in practically every case where this kind of leave is taken the teacher is either at the maximum of her salary group or very close to it. Hence, in the case of the teacher whose salary grade is $1,800 to $2,800 and who is at the maximum, the District would save the difference between her $2,800 and the lower pay of the substitute teacher while the regular instructor is at col- lege. When the regular teacher returns to her position she returns to the same salary she was receiving when she went on leave. But under the limitations and econ- omies voted by the House of Repre- sentatives in the 1933 bill that teacher would be obliged to return to her posi- tion at the basic or minimum salary of her classification! In other words, the increased fitness to teach Washington's children would cost that woman $2,800 in salary which she forfeited while on leave, plus the tuition and board costs while at college, which would approxi- mate, school officials say, $1,200. Thus the teacher's year of additional prep- aration would cost her $4,000, and for this investment, school authorities said following study of the House bill, she would receive a thousand-dollar cut in pay on her return! Losses Would Continue. And that is not all, her losses would continue. Even if Congress next year would permit the automatic salary in. crease as provided in the act of 1924, to return to effectiveness that more highly educated teacher would lose $900 her second year, $800 her third year, $700 her fourth year, and so on at the rate of $100 a year until 10 years after her return to the system her pay would be back at the $2,800 maximum it had reached when she undertook to secure better qualifications. The total cost of this improvement to the ambitious teacher would approximate $9,500! Meanwhile the fellow teacher who was unwilling to raise her fitness would be recelving steadily the $2,800 salary. Fantastic, but that is the way the school authorities say this particular House saving will operate. A Contract Abrogated. The $8,500 allowance “for teachers and librarians on probation” is the amount which would be required to carry out the provisions of section 5 of the ;2 of June 4, 1924, which re- quires t every teacher or librarian shall receive his first longevity increase on the date of his permanent appoint- ment. In actual practice, this par- ticular “economy” works this way: The new teachers who have come into the service during the 1932 fiscal year are on probation. At the end of their first year in service, if their work is satis- factory, their appointments are to be ent and under a section of the teachers’ salary law they are given credit for the probationary year with respect to the automatic step-up of $100 a year. The House now provides, however, that this step-up shall be eliminated and the teacher who ac- cepted the law as a moral contract finds herself conul:mlng in service at her beginning salary, ‘Section 6 of this same law provides that teachers coming into the District system from other positions shall be placed in the salary scale according tc previous teaching experience. In other words, if & teacher has taught for four years elsewhere when she comes to ‘Washington she would not be required to start at the basic salary for her class, but she would start at $400 above that basis. As the House eliminates the provisions of the 1924 act, however, the experienced teacher would be obliged to come to the local system at the beginning salary, and the authori- ties of the system declare: “We don't want beginners, we want experienced teachers for our cht , and an ex- perieced teacher isn't coming here to begin all over!” Inexperienced Teachers Sought. Hence it is that the House would | permit the engagement of only inex- | perienced teachers to instruct Wash- | ington’s children. Section 16 of the 1924 act authorizes the employment of temporary teachers for ited periods not to exceed three months, and it provides that such tem- porary teachers shall be assigned to the basic salary of the class. In the ab- sence of eligible lists of candidates from which regular appointments can be made, the temporary teachers are employed until such time as an eligible person may be secured for appointment. ‘The item of $13400 for “teachers and librarians on temporary tenure,” the school officials explain, represents the difference between the basic salary given the temporary teacher and the entrance salary at which the regular sppointee may be entitled to begin under provisions of the salary act. Thus it is again that a regular appointee wouid have to be either an inexperi- enced teacher, the school authorities have reasoned, or she must take the exorbitant cut the House legislative provision would entail by eliminating this allowance. No Reward for “Superior” Work. The elimination of the $1,836 “for teachers promoted from class 2A to class 2C" is_another blow at ambition. The act of February 28, 1929, provides 3 salary _classifications for junior high school teachers; one designated as class 2, group A, and the other as class 2, group C. Higher eligibility requirements are necessary for the C group. Many teachers are appointed to the lower classification and then raise their eligibility by Summer or evening work at a university. This $1,836 is the money required to pro- vide for the appointment in class 2, group C, of those teachers now in group A who may, during the fiscal yfi; 1933, qualify for the higher salary el Section 9 of the 1924 salary act provides for promotion of teachers from a lower to a higher group on the basis of definite evidence of superior teach- ing. The $6,600 allowance “for teach- ers promoted for superior work,” then, covers the money required to provide the added compensation to which their efficiency has entitled the “superior” teachers. The $116,300 which the House would save by eliminating all automatic salary promotions for teachers just as it has sought to eliminate all automatic step- | ups for other Government employes is needed to carry out the provisions uf section 7 of the 1924 teachers’ salary act. There is, however, a difference between | the promotions thus guaranteed teachers | and the step-ups provided for other em- | ployes. The teacher's promotion is| provided at the rate of $100 a year i her work is satisfactory. There is no provision in that law which involves an “average” salary, as in the case of other Government employes. In other words, if a teacher's work is not satis- factory she is dropped from the service. If it is satisfacory she is given a $100 annual increase up to the maximum of her class. Hence it is that teachers regard their appointments under the law of 1924 as a “moral contract,” the violation of which the House invited when it wrote into the 1933 appropria- tions bill a blanket legislative provision :‘gmmmng all automatic salary promo- ns. In making these deductions from the amounts carried in the budget as transmitted to Congress by the Bureau of the Budget, Congress acted without the counsel of ‘the Board of Education or the school officers. Deeply concerned chiefly over the effects of the series of cuts totaling $46,367, school officials contend that if the House had sought | merely to save that amount of money they could have pointed out far less disastrous ways of doing it than were chosen by the House subcommittee. The school officials now are engaged in & determined fight for the retention of these sums in the 1933 budget, con- vinced that if these deductions are permitted to remain in the bill the Distriet public school system will stand stripped of the degree of efficlency which it has attained with the children of the Capital, the ultimate victims of “economy.” Cuts Hit Equipment. Inferior furniture that probably will have to be replaced in four or five yea:s will be installed in the magnificent new Roosevelt High School, which opens next September. Broken furniture in other school buildings will be traded for that which is only slightly less dilapidated. ‘Worn-out heating plants will be con- tinued in service for another year. Drinking fountains condemned as a menace by the Health Department will continue endangering the welfare of ‘Washington's school children. ‘Twenty-four new school buildings | will be occupied for a year without benefit of the minor repairs, and care which would prolong their usefulness.| These are only some of the thin, in store for the District’s public scho& | in the event the Senate approves the slashes made by the House in the school budget as represented in the District of Columbia appropriation bill for 1933. Funds Were Already Cut. ‘The cut of $50,000 in the Roosevelt High School furniture and equipment item which the Bureau of the Budget has transmitted to Congress was the final reduction of a chain of slashes resulting from a unanimous realization that “prices are down.” Originally the Board of Education submitted to the Commissioners a request for $230,000 for this purpose. That figure was based on estimates made approximately a year 8go. Since that time, however, prices have been reduced somewhat, and the school authorities were the first to realize it. Hence, they themselves sub- mitted to the Budget Bureau a new estimate by which they expressed the belief that the necessary furniture and equipment for this latest of Washing- ton’s senior high schools could be pur- chased for $30,000 less. And so the Budget Bureau transmitted to Congress an item of $200,000 for this purpose. Meanwhile the House of Representa- tives had become aware of low prices, and it lopped another $50,000 off the Roosevelt furniture and equip- ment_item. its report on the bill the House specifically explained that it had made this reduction because of “the lower cost of furniture, equipment, supplies and other material.” The school authorities contend to- day that if the Roosevelt High School is to be provided with “anything like adequate equipment” at least $30,000 must be ded to the item. If the present $150,000 is not increased, then the school authorities must undertake a plan of makeshift that in the end cannot be anything but extravagance. Cheap typewriter tables will be stalled in the business practice depart- instruction is paramount in the car- riculum, the item will be considerable. The proposed tables. school officials fear, will be virtually useless in four years, and are convinced they would have to be replaced after five years of service. Some Items Eliminated. Perhaps even more serious, however, are the definite curtailments which might have to be carried out in the business practice department. Much of the office equipment, including com- puting machines, filing cabinets and other equipment necessary to the com- prehensive teaching of business prac- tice will be omitted entirely. The school’s cafeteria aiso would suf- fer loss of needed equipment. Likewise, the auditorium’s stage equipment, neces- sary in auditorium programs in school life, probably would be reduced. The House cut of $75,000 from the $475,000 sum requested by the Board of Education, the Commissioners and the Bureau of the Budget for repairs and improvements to buildings will place a definite penalty on Washington’s chil- dren. The cut, for instance, will pre- vent the replacement of six of the re- maining antiquated hot-air heating plants, which belch much gas and little heat into the class rooms they are sup- posed to warm. The school officials are following a definite schedule in remov- ing these objectionable plants from the schools, and they have made pronounced headway. The cut also will further delay the installation of hot water supply systems | in 90 of the school buildings which| never have known that essential. Public | indignation in recent years has risen to a high pitch over this gross lack in the District’s older schools, and the char- acter education groups, which have for their purpose the acceleration of pro- | grams which promote that phase of | child training which extends beyond | mere academic instruction, have cited the absence of this essential facility as 2 blow at commeon decency. Virtually ah «f the older schools have a single wash Dow] with one cold-water faucet, and yet children are instructed in the merits of personal cleanliness, the char- acter education proponents point out. Insanitary Fountains Continued. ‘The Health rtment has consist- ently condemned! the type of drinking fountain, equipped with a 6-inch bowl, which creates a constant pool of water from which children drink. Practically all of the older schools—and that means all schools except those completed dur- ing the last five years—have these foun- tains. The Health Department con- tends that the catch-bowl in these fountains offers an excellent source of infection, since a child who may be diseased might easily contaminate the water remaining in the bowl. A normal child following immediately behind the first would take into his own system the infection thus left at the fountain. School authorities estimate these con- demned "fountains could be replaced at a cost of $38,000. In cutting this $75,000 from the re- pair fund, the House acted on the same theory it did with respect to”the fur- niture item: Prices are down and less money should suffice to make the re- pairs. And, like in the former item, the House is correct; the only difficulty being timt the school authorities al- ready had recognized the price trend and had reduced their estimates from the $492,000 carried in the 1932 appro- priation to the $475,000, despite the fact | that more buildings are in use now than when this year's estimates were framed. The minor repairs which generally are made to new schools—replacement of broken glass being one of the major items—must be denied 24 school build- ings which will be in use during 1933 which were not in existence under the current appropriation. This would be due to the cut of $75,000 in the general repair fund. These buildings are the additions to the Gordon, Stuart, Paul, Hine, Randall and Macfarland Junior High Schools, and the Murch, Whittier, Woodridge, Orr, Key and Deanwood (elementary) Schools, Eliot, Deal and *Browne Junior High Schools, and the Mann, Lafayette, Noyes, Stoddert, Hearst, Young and Shepherd (elementary) Schools. These structures were completed during the current year, and while most of them were put in use this school year, they will become eligible for their first minor repairs in 1933. Besides these, the Roosevelt High School, Douglas-Sim- mons (elementary) School, both of which will be occupied next term, would require the minor repair care. Ramshackle Furnishings. At least seven schools will suffer cur- tailment in equipment if the House cut of $11,400 in the general furniture and equipment item is permitted to stand. Every cent of the $71,400 submitted by the Budget Bureau for this purpose is needed, and unless it is forthcoming school officials will have to reduce facil- itles in some instances and eliminate items of equipment entirely in others. The new Kenilworth School would go without its window shades and the equipment for its teachers’ room. The M street high school building, which is to be vacated by the Cardozo High School this Summer, would continue with the broken auditorium seats, which after 40 years of constant use were to be replaced. Likewise, the auditorium chairs at Business High School, to which the Cardozo institution will move, would continue using the 27- year-old seats. Both these schools would go without auditorium stage re- pairs and equipment. The Glddings School will not receive its playground equipment, its visual in- struction apparatus and its window shades. The Harrison and the new Douglas-Simmons School also will go without these essential items of equip- ment. A cut of $25,000 in the contingent expense fund will force the continued use of worn-out furniture. As seats and desks are broken they ordinarily are replaced with new equipment, but because of the reduction made by the House, school officials expect they will ment, and, since the Roosevelt High have w replace broken furniture with 0o and the new | PAINTING INDUSTRY VALUES OUTLINED Hugh Reilly, Jr., Addresses Property Improvement Group of District.

Reilly also pointed out that “timely application” of paint will guard against deterioration and decay, and that the question of beautifying property as much as possible should likewise be given particular consideration in this Bicentennial year when many visitors are coming to the Capital. ‘The Property Improvement and Business Co- mltlon Committee, lo- cated in the Shoreham Building, is of- fering advisory service both to property owners contemplating work of any sort and to business men in their mer- chandising problems.
