In response to & letter from .the Federation of Churches, the Priend- ship Citizens’ Association went on record last night as favoring the con- tinuance of the character education experiment in District schools. In introducing the resolution, Miss Gertrude W. Holinger pointed out the original plan was to have the ex- periment run three years, and that it has been in operation only one year. Another resolution introduced by Miss Holinger and passed asks that P. W. A. funds be used for the con- struction of 22 school buildings in the District, as suggested by Dr. John W. Studcbaker, commissioner of educa- tion, in his report to the Secretary of the Interior. The association passed a motion mmissioners to re- vise the assessed Yalution of property in the District so that it would cor- | respond to the valuation in other parts of the United States, with a cor- responding rise in tax rates. C. D. Franks introduced a motion requesting the Federation of Citizens’ Associations and other civic groups to draw up a plan whereby the people of the United States could be informed of the fiscal relations of the District government to the Federal Govern- ment. He urged a phamphlet be printed,” containing this information, and distributed to Boy Scouts at the Scout famboree here in August. The resolution was passed. Action on several other proposed | resolutions were deferred. AMBITIOUS SEASON PLANNED FOR OPERA Metropolitan Program, Under- written by Juilliard Founda- tion, Supplemented. By the Associated Press.

Miss Desio, standing before the as- sociation, with one of the talking book records in her hands declared she and other blind persons owed a great debt of “gratitude” to those who DR. JOSEPH F. KASPAR, Nebraska State Senator, who is charged with receiving and con- cealing stolen property.

It will || depend on the “generosity of some sighted person to read to them.” Many Books Available. The Library of Congress has a number of books, including the Bible and many plays and sonnets of Shakespeare recorded, Miss Desio ex- plained, and these can be borrowed without cost by the blind.
