"A—16 x¥ 5000 CHLDREN AND 4 BANDS I SCHDOLS PARAE Safety Patrol Demonstra- tion Witnessed by Sec- retary Roper. EIGHT STATES AND D. C. REPRESENTED IN LINE Constitution Avenue Lined by Thousands and Weather Is Ideal for Event. Stepping proudly to the music of 11 bands, nearly 6,000 enthusiastic children marched down Constitution avenue this morning in the American Automobile Association’s fourth an- nual national schoolboy patrol parade. In the official reviewing stand be- tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets Secretary of Commerce Roper watched them pass and, in his role as | chairman of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety, com- | mented over the air on the colorful | demonstration. | More thian one-third of the boy march- | ers were from out of town, representing eight States, and among these units were eight crack drill teams, which at the close of the march engaged in a competitive drill on Constitution ave- | nue in front of the reviewing stand. Brig. Gen. Perry E. Miles was judge. First prize went to a Reading, Pa., team and second and third to Potts- town, Pa., groups. Thousands on Avenue. ‘With ideal weather conditions pre- vailing, thousands of spectators lined Constitution avenue, many a proud parent among them, as the uniformed boys went by. | There was no prescribed garb for | the youthful marchers, but most wore | white trousers and the white Sam Browne belts which are their badge | of office. In many cases, sweaters | of varying colors contrasted in gay confusion. | Some 30 floats were drawn by the patrol boys, mounted on all descrip- tions of vehicles except automobiles | or trucks. The displays reflected weeks | of labor by students in the Wash- | ington schools and most were aimed | at emphasizing the message of safety | intended to be conveyed by the parade. The column began forming before 9 am. and promptly at 10:15, the| parade began to move away from | Sixth street and Constitution avenue. American Automobile Association offi- cials said it took the marchers ap-| proximately an hour and a half to clear the starting point, and about noon the end of the column passed | the reviewing stand, turned off into | the Ellipse and disbended. Congress Members Attend. A number of members of Congress | occupied the reviewing stand along | with Secretary Roper, as well as the | officials who led the marching column. | At the head of the parade rode an escort of 25 motor cycle policemen, fol- lowed by the Navy Band. Col. Daniel I. Sultan, District Com- missioner, was grand marshal. With THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1935.

Mrs. Roosevelt today opened the Conference of Social Education at the White House with a plea for action in the prevention of crime. This action, she said, would in- | clude building up a community so that it would be difficult for young people to become criminals and elimi- nating such potential criminal causes as bad housing, undernourishment and a lack of vocational training after school education is completed.

In many places the clubs offered to match dollar for dollar the amounts raised by the boys for their expenses. States represented included Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and West Virginia, as well as adjoining Maryland and Vir- 8. Each year the safety demonstration bas increased in size and today's pa- rade was described as the largest and best yet held.

Zook, Dr. John A. Ryan, Justice Florence E. Allen and Judge Irving Lehman. The .conference was organized by Paul W. Garrett of New York, who explained the social need for the plans discussed. “We have studied statistics on crime,” Garrett said. “We know its extent, something of its cost, but we have thought of it as a far-away, national problem. We haven't faced what we can do about it in our own communities. Most communities have factors which aggravate the problem. Conditions which predispose to crime, such as bad housing, lack of recrea- tional facilities, false standards of value, warp the lives of scores even when they do not push them over into crime.” Among the purposes of the confer- ence was the formation of a com- mission to work with all the national agencies present in setting up and promoting a common program of so- cial education.

BILL Denies Any Conflict Over Plan to Take 1,200 Graduates An- nually Into Army. By the Associated Press. Denying there was any conflict be- tween the War Department and the provisions, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Army chief of staff, today indorsed an amendment to a bill which would authorize President Roosevelt to select 1,200 Reserve Officer Training Corps graduates annually for one year's duty with the Army. Seventy-five of each year’s group then would be given permanent com- missions in the Regular Army. “Published accounts of a conflict of views over the bill to utilize R. O. T. C. graduates in the Army have no basis of fact,” Gen. MacArthur de- clared. “The War Department is to March 31, 1935, amounted to $168,- 500. This would make an aggregate outstanding liability to depositors and creditors, including interest on said claims, plus the amount due the Re- construction Finance Corp., including interest as of March 31, 1935, of $1,~ 546,059.57. Hence, based upon the re- ceiver's estimated liquidation value of the remaining assets plus the cash on hand of $281,846.96 as of March 31, 1935, it will be noted that the out- exceeded the estimated value of all assets, including cash on hand by ap- proximately $132,219.97. This esti- mated deficit does not include rhe cost of future liquidation of the assets, re- gardless of by whom liquidated, nor does it allow for necessary capital structure. 1t is desired to emphasize at this point, by reiteration, that the fore- going figures with reference to asset value should not be taken as final or as a basis for prospective future divi- dends or distribution. e SUSPECT IN THEFT IS HELD TO JURY Man Taken After Gun Battle Held on Charge of Assault ‘With Weapon.
