For 1934, the House would provide only $75,000, or a reduction of $5,500. Ironic- ally enough, this slash comes concur- rently with the consummation of the school authorities’ efforts to make the night school work comparable with day school sccomplishments. A plan was introduced this year under which the boy or girl who is unable to complete his or her course in the day classes can continue at night and receive, at the end of the course, an accredited j diploma which will be acceptable by any college or university which ac- knowledges the District public school system’s day school diplomas. In other words, instead of requiring about seven years’ work for a night school “dlpluflé" which was lfttle more than a certificate of graduation and which was not ac- credited by higher institutions, students now may earn a regulation diploma “that means something,” in about five years. But now comes the curtailment of this service in the midst of difficult times for youth, when that service would be of most value. Americanization Hit. In 1933 the Americanization School has had $13,000 for the salaries of its teachers and in 1934 the House would reduce the sum to $7,500. The Americanization School, which is op- erated for the training of new citizens in the very principles of government upon which this Nation is founded, holds an enviable position in the re- spect of the immigration authorities, the court which naturalizes the new- comers and the patriotic organizations; including the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution, which foster many of its activities. On this cut of nearly 50 per cent only drastic limitation of classes, school year and general edu- cational service vided can result.

MAXIMUM WEEKLY RELIEF 1S RAISED D. C. Public Welfare Board Increases Total From $32,000 to $42,000. ‘The maximum amount of relief funds which may be expended weekly has been raised from approximately $32,000 to $42,000 by the District Board of Public Welfare because of the large number of calls for aid which could not be met under the lescer limit. Faced with the fact that available re- lief funds of the District would not last until the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1, the Emergency Unem- cation and transportation of tubercu- lar and crippled children will work a real hardship on these youngsters. The school system maintains a special health school for white tubercular chil- dren and a similar institution—so far as purpose goes—for the colored tu- bercular children. Then, too, it op- erates two schools for white and col- ored crippled children. The tubercu- lar chi n attend classes in sunnier and better aired rooms than normal children require. At certain times dur- ing the day these pupils are required to take naps on cots provided for the purpose. The crippled youngsters at- tend class in rooms equipped with fur- niture designed to make comfortable little bodies that to» often are twisted eeded! Positively no obligation for appraisal.

Cuts Mean Less Help. ‘This year Congress appropriated for the maintenance of these Pupns $11,000 and in 1934 the House of Representa- tives would grant them only $9,000. The reduction will mean less help in school for these children who face life, many of them with the alterna- tives of becoming self-sustaining as- sets or public charges. o Because of their physical handicaps both the tubercular and the crippled children are transported to school. ‘This transportation is provided busses which operate on special routes designed to accommodate the greatest number and some travel on street cars on fares paid for by the school sys- tem. In 1933 a total of $20,000 was allowed for transportation of both groups of pupils, and this sum has proven itself inadequate. Yet in 1934 the House of Representatives would pare down this item to $18,500. ‘Washington’s blind public school the institution there and the District. This year $13,000 was made available for this education, and in 1934 the House would allow only $10,000 for these sadly handicapped pupils. This reduction was an arbitrary one and represents simply the elimination of two blind children from the benefits of the specialized training ‘they require. These children attend classes at Over- lea on a fixed contract rate of $500 each a year and the reduction of the item by $1,000 means only one thing. ‘The items for the night schools, the tioned, refer to the salaries of teach- ers engaged in that work. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, says: “The reductions proposed by the Bu- reau of the Budget for 1934 can be met, in part, if legal to do so, by some reduction in the scale of pay of teach- in | Washin, Americanization School already men-; ployment Relief Committee of the board just 10 days ago directed a reduction in the weekly pay roll to $31,000. Can Accept New Cases. In peversing this decision yesterday the board also authorized Leroy A. Hal- bert, director of emergency relief, to ac- cept new cases where need for aid was shown, but directed him to exercise dis- cretion in adding to the present list of about 10,000 families now receiving aid. The Welfare Board is pinning hope for sclution of the problem of lack of* sufficient rellef funds on early enactment of the Federal relief measure appropriating $500,000,000 for direct re- lief grants to the States, in which the District would share, and on a lighten- ing to some extent of the calls for aid here through enlistment of'_ needy youths in the Federal forestation project. Relief Problems Reviewed. ‘The relief problems were reviewed 'llur yesterday at a conference among Dr. Luther H. Reichelderfer, president of the Board of Commissioners; George 8. Wilson, director of the Board of Public Welfare; James G. Yaden, pres- ident of the Federation of Citizens Associations; Thomas E. Lodge, first vice president; Mrs. Elizabeth Sullivan, second vice president; George E. Sul- livan of the Laws and Legislation Com- mittee, and Mrs. Clara W. Smith, Wel- by | fare Committee chairman of the fed- eration. The group also discussed possibilities of reductions in the tax rate and water rents. Federation officials are favoring such cuts if budget and tax collection conditions permit. CHEVY CHASE MAN HELD ON FUGITIVE WARRANT George Manchester Arrested by Montgomery Police on Informa- mation of Massachusetts Officer. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md.,, April 11.—On a warrant sworn out by John F. Stokes, Massachusetts State policeman, and issued by Justice of the Peace Fred K. Van Court of Bethesda, George Manchester, whose address was given as 709 Elm stréet, Chevy Chase, was arrested today by Sergt. Earl Burdine of the Montgomery County a charge of being a fugitive tice from Massachusetts. He was brought to Rockville and taken before Judge Charles W. Wood- ward of the Circuit Court, who fixed bond at $5,000. A copy of an indictment returned by a grand jury of Middlesex County, lice on rom jus- ers and officers in the vacation and night schools. The major part of these reductions, however, will have to be met by reducing the number of schools opening and the enrollment in the schools as & whole.” Other Reductions. Other reductions affgcting these same educational opportunities for Washing- tonians include a cut of $500 from the current appropriation of $4,500 for night contingent expenses. Another cut of $200 was made by the House in the current appropriation of $800 for Americanization School contingent ex- penses. Besides these the big text book and educational supplies item was cut from $200,000 to $180,000. Other edu- cational equipment and school mate- rials items which were slashed in tne 1924 appropriation bill include: Manual training. from $75,000 in 1933 to $60,- 000; kindergartens, from $7,000 to $5,- 600; science laboratories, from $16,500 to $15,000, and the general contingent fund which covers United States flags, paper towels, ice, oil lubricants, re- placement of various items of furniture and other necessary items, from $165,- 000 to $120,000. “These reductions,” says Dr. Ballou without qualification, “mean inadequate supplies for teaching purposes, - and must inevitably have a corresponding | effect on the efficiency of instruction.” Another of the major items which Hlhas been reduced is that for repairs 58S | to butldings. A school building is sub- ject, perhaps, to even harder wear than other types of public structure. The natural detrioration requires constant application of repairs as an_economic necessity, and this year a total of $437,- 500 was available for this purpose. In 1934, however, the repairs fund would be $325,000—a reduction of $112,500. Still another important item that did not escape the economy scythe is the fuel gas and electricity fund, which would be, in 1934, $240,000 as compared with the $295,000 appropriated for this purpose this year.

While these special educational serv- ‘S| ives are being threatened with drastic effects, the school system’s custodial and clerical staffs are confronted with the necessity of getting along on thou- sands of dollars less next year than they were able to struggle through on this year. The custodians, including engineers, laborers, firemen, janitors, coal and all other employes who care for school buildings, must op- erate in 1934 on $21,706 less than was available for them in 1933. This “sav- ing” must be effected over and above . the 15 per cent Federal pay cut. Likewise, the clerks the system will have $3,126 less year than Mass., charges Manchester and three others with “conspiring between Sep- tember 1, 1928, and April 1, 1933, to commit the crime of stealing property of members of the, gen public.” they had this year, even after the au- thorized pay-cut reduction is made. The current appropriation for the custodians was $889,260. The actual pay rolls up to March 15 were $630,- 804.38, and the estimated roll from that date to June 30 is $257,829.13. Hence, out of an appropriation of nearly a million dollars, a balance of only $626.49 over and above the 8); per cent reduction in pay remains. The appropriation bill for 1934 carries a total of $750,000 for custodians. De- ducting 15 per cen: from the 1933 ap- propriation in orde: to establish a com- parable basis, ine current appro- priation actually has a value of $755,871. Thus the difference between the 1933 and the 1934 appropriations so far as dollar-for-dollar salary-paying value is concerned is $5,871, and in- dicates that next year the custodian salary itam must be reduced by $5,871. New Positions Add to Cut. But new positions must be created for new buildings which will open and this will add $3,270 to the necessary “savings.” Then certain pro-rated po- sitions must be provided for to pay for the services of men in employ of the schools less than a full year, and this will add another $12,565 to the total redtiction. So it is, then, that the cus- todial service must be provided in 1934 for $21,706 less than it cost in 1933 even after the 15 per cent salary re- duction has been made. ‘The 1933 appropriation for clerks was $164,760. The pay rolls to March 15 were $116,614.66, and the estimated cost of the clerical staff through June 30 is $47,634.51, making the total actual cost of clerks $164,249.17. After the 8%, per cent pay cut is impounded a balance of $510.38 will remain out of the total appropriation. ‘The 1934 clerical appropriation as carried in the bill at present is $138,000. By deducting 15 per cent from the 1933 figure the comparable amount this year is $140,046, or $2,046 more than the House would make available next year. But like the case of the custodians, this net difference is not the only amount to be “saved.” Prorated positions total $1,080, so that the actual reduction to be made in the clerical services for 1934 is $3,126. And s0 it goes down the budget. Uu- less some of these slashed funds can be restored by the Senate, the school sys- tem will be “up against” a paralysis of its efficiency, the while the District of Columbia kas stored in the Treasury, with its name tagged to the sacks, somu- thing like $6,000,000 of surplus money that Congress is “economizing” to save.

By the Associated Press. INEZ, Ky., April 11.—Testimony that John H. Mills struggled and fought when deputies pulled him from kneeling position on the body of his mother, Mrs. Lucinda Mills, 67, was given today by B. J. (Boss) Wells, one of those deputized to go to the home of Tommie Boyd when officers heard of the slaying last February. Wells_sald that when he and the other officers arrived, they “found them rejoicing” and Mrs. Mills dead. On cross-examination he sald Mrs. Ora Moore, a defendant, exclaimed: “It was hard to give mother up, but she wanted to go to the asylum to cast the devils out of- them.” Son in Asylum. Mrs. Mills had a son Leonard in East- ern State Hospital for the Insane. Wells said John clung to chains around his mother’s wrists until he pulled her body off the “altar,” as Wells and Deputies Harrison Hinkle and Buck Neely struggled with him. Blows were struck with fists in the melee, Wells said, Deputy Rafe Mollett, who followed ‘Wells, said he had to threaten Blaine McGinnis with his pistol. Mollett said “I throwed my gun on Ballard Mills” to make him drop a knife. Mol- lett described John H. Mills as acting like “a plumb, raving crazy drunk man.” Mollle McGinnis, Deputy Mollett said, exclaimed, “Lord have mercy, Rafe, don’t shoot.” Speaks “Unknown Tongue.” Neely added briefly to the descrip- tion of the scene by sa; that John, when officers found him kneeling on the body of his mother, was repeating ! over and over “Have your way, Lord. have ycur way,” anda that when they tried to pull him off he began talking “the unknown tongue.” Other defendants were talking in the same fashion, Neely testified, and “saying they were sorry to kill their mother, but they had to.” WISV TEST BROADCASTS AUTHORIZED BY BOARD Station Granted Right to Seek Means of Overcoming Objec- tionable Interference.

The special experimental license was issued until 3 a.m. May 1, at which time the station already has been ordered to cease oper- ation from its present location unless the Navy withdraws its interference protest. The commission last week denied station WJSV a regular license to oper- ate after May 1 because of the Navy's contention that the 10,000-watt station was interfe with the operation of its own exper tal radio -apparatus ac_Bellevue, a stone’s' throw away.
