v ¥ Wash EDUCATORS URGE CHARACTER PLAN CONTINUANGE HERE Other Cities Watching D. C. Experiment, Hearing on Supply Bill Told. LEADERS OF MANY ORGANIZATIONS HEARD Ballou Says Much Good Already Accomplished—Senate Hearings , to Resume by Tuesday. A strong plea for continuation of the character education program started in the local public schools this yvear, was made today before the Sen- ate Subcommittee handling the 1936 District supply bill, by a group of well-known educators, both of Wash- ington and other cities. The hearing was devoted entirely to testimony on the character educa- tion experiment, the estimates for which were turned down by the House when it passed the pending bill. The Subcommittee is not expected to resume hearings until Tuesday, at which time District school officials are expected to explain the need for various other school items that were left out of the bill in the House. | These amount to $252,000. | Sum Stricken Out. | Senator Copeland, Democrat of New | York, obtained funds in the current | appropriation bill to begin the charac- ter education experiment, but the House struck from the estimates the $87,000 required to continue the ex- periment for another year. Educators told the subcommittee that teachers and school authorities throughout the country are watching | with great interest the start made on | character education in the Washing- ington News Che WASHINGTON, D.

They testified it would be a mistake to abandon the work | after one year. It was the view of | the experts that the innovation should go on for two more years. Among those who appeared bcIore‘ the subcommittee in support of the; program were dall, president of the Rochester| Athaneum and Mechanic Institute of | Rochester, N. ¥.; Prof. Ben D. Wood, | professor in psychology at Columbia University: Dr. C. R. Mann, head of the American Council on Education; Dr. Crabtree of the National Educa- tional Association; Dr. Cloyd H. Mar- vin, president of George Washington | University, and Dr. Frahk W. Ballou, superintendent of District schools. Opportunity for Child. Two of the professors told the sub- committee that on a recent tour of the country they found educational authorities watching results of the character education movement and expressing the belief it offered an op- portunity to improve the outlook of the individual child and make him & better and more responsible citizen. | Dr. Ballou told the subcommittee he thought much good has already been accomplished in less than one year of the character experiment, and it was the view of all the witnesses that it should cover at least a three- year period. Senator Copeland placed in the| record of the hearing resolutions from many local organizations, in support of restoring the character educa- | tion fund. Four School Projects. As it came from the House, the bill | provides for only four school building | construction projects amounting to $635,000, which is $709,500 less than the current appropriation for con- struction and $140,000 below the | amount the Budget Bureau recom- | mended in January. For all requirements of the school system, the House bill contained a total of $11,139.000, which is $252,759 less than the budget estimate. Besides turning down the character education item, the House also eliminated smaller amounts for the operation of certain mechanical training shops. All of these budget estimates reject- ed by the House will be considered by the Senate subcommittee next week. District officials have also been in communication recently with the Budget Bureau regarding the need for several supplemental school build- ing items amounting to about $325,000, but these have not yet been trans- mitted to Congress. LIBERAL DIVORCE LAW SOUGHT HERE | Senator Copeland Introduces Bill at Request of D. C. Bar Associations. A bill to liberalize Washington's divorce law has been submitted to Congress for consideration by the District Bar Association and the Woman's Bar Association. The main feature of the proposal is to allow absolute divorce for cruelty, desertion, drunkenness and convic- tion of a felony involving moral turpitude. At present, an absolute divorce is obtainable only on the ground of infidelity. Limited divorces are granted at present on other grounds. In introducing the bill late yes- terday, Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New York announced he was of- fering it at the request of the two bar associations. He placed in the record a letter of transmittal from George C. Gertman, secretary of the District Bar Association, and from Mrs, Martha R. Gold, chairman of a committee of the Woman'’s Bar Asso- ciation, explaining the bill. It was referred to the District Committee. News Photographers Elect. George Skadding of the Associated Press was elected president of the White House News Photographers As- sociation last night at the associa- tion’s annual meeting at the New Haven Grill. Arthur Almgren of the Washington Herald was elected vice president, and Harry Van Tine of the International News Photographic Service, secretary-treasurer. ‘ Must Pay Whole Cost of Extensions. Sewer construction projects valued | vided many days of work for unem- ployed construction labor have been pigeon-holed since January 1 because of exhaustion of the District appro- priation for this fiscal year for the purpose, it developed today. Although, roughly, half the cost of service sewer work under the assess- ment and permit plan is reclaimed | from property owners, the District has | been forced to lay aside this amount | of such work and the total will be | increased as the Spring house build- ing season passes. | $120,000 Appropriated. | Congress last year appropriated $120,000 for service sewer extensions, | needed to serve newly built homes. For this work the abutting property owners pay assessments of $1.50 a | front foot. | The District has other appropri- | ations for sewer main construction | and the law permits transfers from | this fund up to 15 per cent, where conditions warrant, but the Sewer | Department needs are such that this is not possible this year, officials say. | These other appropriations are nlli justified before Congress by a show- | ing of needs for the large sewers pro- gram, | The result of the current situation | is that unless the prospective home | builder can pay the whole cost of | the service sewer extensions needed | for lateral connections to his house | the applications must be laid aside, according to John Blake Gordon, san- itary engineer. In some cases home building con- | cerns put up the whole cost, but in such cases it is the rule for the extra | cost to be added to the sale price of the house, officials say. More Funds Required. | Estimating the need from current | indications, officials figure an appro- priation of between $250,000 and $300,000 instead of $120,000 would have been required to take carg of the service sewer applications this fiscal year, under the assessment and permit plan. Fears are held that a similar situa- tion will prevail again next year. The 1936 District budget bill, as passed by the House, provided $150,000 for this type of work in the next fiscal year, beginning next July 1. In 1929, the appropriation was $410,000; in 1930, $340,000; in 1931, $285,000; 1932, $150,000;. 1933, $150,- 00, and 1934, $75,000. Private building operations have been on the increase in the past year, as anticipated. There was a big spurt in the first six months of the present fiscal year, when the cost of residential construction was boosted.117 per cent over the total for the similar period of last year. Bears Out Forecast. This bears out the forecast of offi- cials last year when they argued that home building would be stimulated by reduction of the cost of sewer as- sessments from $3 to $1.50 per front foot against abutting property owners. The reducticn went into effect last July. The increase in the appropria- tion, from $75,000 to $150,000, how- ever, has proved insufficient to meet increased demands for mains to serve new homes. The assessment to the property owners was cut because it was found in many cases that the old rate for sewer facilities, plus the $3 a foot assessment for water main amounted to as much as the value of the lot, officials recall, SOLDIER IS SUICIDE Coroner Certificate Walter Reed Patient.

Ran- at $80,000, which would have pro-;drive for a $100,000 sustaining fund formally got under way today. | From headquarters in the Carlton Hotel 500 volunteer workers were as- signed to various sections of the city | by committee heads to contact persons interested in aiding the campaign and to enlist new supporters. + Solicitation of funds will continue. for 10 days, the drive being slated to close March 25. In an opening plea to civic groups ! to help make the campaign a success, Dr. William McClellan, chairman of the Men's Committee, addressed the Kiwanis Club yesterday. “Anything that makes for a greater National Capital ought to be encour- aged,” he said. “An increasing num- ber of people of refinement and means who have retired from business are making Washington their home. Put- ting the orchestra in a position to visit other cities will have a great ad- vertising value for Washington. For the city the National Symphony is a | cultural, educational, entertaining, festive and wholesome activity that deserves general support. We should show Dr. Hans Kindler and his artists that we appreciate their efforts and intend to support them.” Besides Dr. McClellan's group, other Central Committees are the Melro-‘ politan, National, Suburban, Business, | Army, Navy, Government, Educational | and Associations. | With the $100,000 and increased«boxt office receipts, the National Symphony Orchestra Association will be able to pay the musicians a living wage and so insure the future stability of the | orchestra. | The sustaining fund also will make | possible more concerts in Consticution Hall next Winter, a greater number of | children’s concerts and a series of out- | door Summer concerts to be olayed on a barge anchored offshore :n the | Potomac at the water gate near Ar-| lington Memorial Bridge. The fund is $40,000 more than has been raised in other years for support of the National Symphony. | but it is much less than the sum given for the operation of symphonies in other large cities. Campaign offi- cials pointed out that last year the Boston Symphony required a budget | of $600,000, the Philadelphia Orches- tra, $500,000, and the New York Philharmonic, $686,000. In Pitts- population than the Capital, the sym- phony required a budget of $100,000, but gave only 8 concerts, compared | with the National Symphony's 30. 1t is proposed to build the orches- | tra up to full strength with 110 pieces. At present the symphony is composed of 80 players, who are paid far less than musicians in other cities and are forced to take odd jobs during the off-season to make a living.

Monument Viewed by Golden Wedding Couple With Pass 31 The New Jersey couple, who obtained a pass to ascend the Washington Monument 50 years ago, are s hown presenting it to the guard there today. Left to right: Mrs. Matt R. Lukens, Mr. Lukens and O. C. Simmons, the guard. \HE Washington Monument ! seemed ageless today to a bride and groom of 50 years ago who returned to celebrate their golden wecding anniversary by using the pass they obtained on their honeymoon. It was the same changeless Monu- | ment, then as 10w, but what a strange panorama! The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Matt R. Lukens of Ruther- ford, N. J, gazed upon the altered skyline with pensive smiles. | They were taking their first look at | Waskington in half a century. and only the Monument seemed familiar, that and the sunny dome of the Capi- | tol in the distance. | “I always knew we'd use this pass. Matt,” smiled Mrs. Lukens, tucking | her hand under her husband's arm | as he stood looking through the mllei windows at the top of the shaft. “Yes,” agreed Mr. Lukens, “that’s| what we kept it for.” Monument Just Completed. The pass was No. 31, issued to the | bride and groom on March 5, 1885, the day after Grover Cleveland's first inauguration. Workmen were stll| putting the finishing touches on the Monument. But even then the shaft drew huge throngs. -Mr. and Mrs. Lukens ad- mired it from the outside, standing in a long queue which shuffied too slowly toward the door for the young people. They were impatient in those days. The wait was too long, and there were —Star Staff Photo. otker sights to see. So they went away. | and Mr. Lukens put the pass in his | pocketbook. It said: “Mr. Lukens and party have | permission from the engineer office to pass to the top of the Washington Monument. Good for one trip, when- ever, in the judgment of the master mechanic, danger to the visitor and inconvenience to the workmen will not result.” The pass was signed by a James V. Dutton for one Cal Casey. Passes were necessary then, Mr. Lukens said, because the only eleva- tor was being used by workmen. Then, too, every visitor wished to be among the first to scale the Monument. ‘Wore Mution Sleeves Then. Mrs. Lukens recalled the day she | saw the Monument last. She was dressed in a long flowing gown with mutton sleeves, bustle and one of the tiny hats of the day. She was 21 then, and her husband a year older. Tomorrow the couple hope to be presented to President Roosevelt by Representative Edward A. Kenney of New Jersey. who accompanied them on their visit to the Monument today. The two said they did a lot of sight- seeing on their wedding trip here, but for the life of them, they couldn't recall it. “A bride and bridegroom on their honeymoon,” said Mrs. Lukens., with a smile for her husband, “see nothing but each other. I'm sure we enjoyed the view more than we would have | 50 years ago!” INQUEST SET TOMORROW IN SOLDIER’S SHOOTING Philip A. Zier Believed to Have Slain John H. Gully in De- fense of Sister.

CASH FOR CONSTRUCTION IS SOUGHT BY FINNAN Legal Backing for Swimming Sites Already Exists—Loca- tions Considered. In the face of vigorous protests against the demolition of the old municipal swimming pools, on the ellipse west of the Washington Monu- ment, C. Marshall Finnan, superin- tendent of the National Capital parks, decided not to begin the work today as previously announced and proposes to ask Congress for funds to construct new pools in another location. This, he explained. will be requested through the House District Committee and the Appropriation Committee. He esti- mated that a swimming pool would cost around $150,000. Legal authority now exists to puild two more. “We have held off the demolition until we can find out if it is possible to secure funds, either through the P. W. A. or Congress, to replace the old municipal swimming pools,” said Mr. Finnan at noon today. The park superintendent empha- sized that he is going ahead with the tearing down of the maintenance buildings used to store the tools of park workers and also the building occupied by the Welfare and Recrea- tional Association of Public Buildings and Grounds, Inc.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. | ANNAPOLIS, March 15.—Prohibi- tion of the sale of liquor in residen- tial areas of Montgomery and Prince | Georges Counties and enlargement of | the metropolitan area of the former | county were among the objectives of | six bills introduced yesterday by Sen- ator Stedman Prescott of Montgomer: County at the request of the Mary | lJand-National Capital Park and Plan- | ning Commission. In the House the only measure offered by delegates from Washing- | ton’s neighboring counties was a re- | pealer of Montgomery’s anti-trapping | law. Sponsored by T. Yellott Canby, | delegation chairman, it would again | permit the use of steel traps in the | | county. 1 The measure under which it is| Hoped to ban the sale of liquor in residential sections of the metropoli- tan area of the two counties pro- vides that no license shall be issued by any board, commission or public official for any commercial or indus- trial purpose in a residential zone. It was explained that, although et least one liquor establishment has been licensed in a residential com- munity of Prince Georges County, the bill cannot be made retroactive’ and is intended primarily to prevent such a happening in Montgomery County. The proposed extension of the metropolitan district in Montgomery County would include all of the re- maining area of Rockville election district which lies east of the Wash- ington-Georgetown road and south of the boundary line of the town of Rockville and the Rockville-Norbeck road, and which has not heretofore been included in the Maryland-Wash- ington metropolitan area. | | One Couple Licensed.

A | thorities Finnan, and he revealed that there | are a number of potential sites under consideration to serve the community that the obsolete pools now do. Another reason for the proposed demolition of the old Municipal Swimming Pools, explained, was that the United States Engineer Office plans to construct an earthen fill as a flood control measure, in the line of buildings housing the pool Congress, some years ago, au ized construction of six swimming pools, but failed to appropriate money. Four now have been built. Two, at the Takoma and Banneker | Recreation Centers, were put up last | year. This leaves two yet to be con=- structed. Mr. Finnan would not re- | veal the sites that were being con= sidered for the new pools. inasmuch as land would be bought by the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Commission. Repairs Made on Pool. One of the two pools slated for dem- olition near the Washington Monu- ment caved in a couple of years ago, said Mr. Finnan, but was recondi- tioned under the Emergency Works program. Thomas S. Settle, secretary of the National Capital Park and Planning Commisison, who is also acting as tem- | porary secretary of the District of Co- | lumbia Recreations Commission, just | formed, said today that the question * of demolishing the old muncipal swim- | ming pools never officially came be- fore the recreation body. Mr. Finnan took up the matter with Commisisoner Allen as an aside, said Mr. Settle. The park superintendent, questioned on this point, said later that he would | take full responsibility himself for | ordering the demolition, which was slated to begin today. Mr. Finnan said yesterday the au- thought the old build= ings have become an eyesore, fire- | traps and an interference of vision between the Washington Monu- | ment and Lincoln Memorial. The two | small swimming pools have no filters |and no sanitation system. Formerly, | he explained, they were fish ponds. Although located on Federal prop- erty, the pools were let out by permit to the District government, whose Playground Department operated them. Ickes Mall‘es Plea To Capital’s Pride To Aid Symphony Secretary of the Interior Ickes be- lieves “local pride” should incite resi- dents of the Capital to support the National Symphony Orchestra in its campaign for a $100,000 sustaining fund. Commenting on the drive, the Sece retary said: “I am happy to state publicly my appreciation of the National Sym- phony Orchestra “It is doing much to promote the artistic and cultural life of the Na- tional Capital and is deserving of the full support of the people of Wash= ington. “As the seat of the Government and a center of art and learning, the city should pride itself on maintaining & fine symphony orchestra. “In its appeal for funds to con= tinue its concerts for another year, the National Symphony Orchestra is not inviting the people of Washington to invest in a new or untried venture. This organization, composed of fine musicians and under competent di- rection, has already demonstrated its worth. Local pride alone should be sufficient to cause a ready response to this appeal.” SENATOR BYRD TO TALK Broadcasts on Maintaining Credit Over WMAL Tomorrow. “Maintenance of Public Credit” will be discussed By Senator Byrd.
