"A—16 %% MRS. DOYLE LIKELY NEW PRESIDENT OF SCHOOL BOARD Gilligan Decides to Vote for Her Monday, Assuring Majority. QUINN MAY RECEIVE NEW MEMBERS’ VOTES Third Term of Mrs. Doyle Pro- vides Experience and Training for Efficient Service. | The Board of Education in all| probability will elevate Mrs. Henry | Grattan Doyle to 1ts presidency Mon- | day, the first time a woman has been | 80 honored. Her election assumed the appear- ance of certainty tuday when it was Jearned that Henr; Gilligan, veteran | board member, haa decided to vote | for her, giving her a clear majority. | It was only after a month of in- ternal political bv-play and working of cross purposes, however, that the final line up of the board membership evolved. As it stands now, Mrs. Doyle is slated to receive at least four votes| from the seven persons who are ex- pected to attend the meeting Monday | morning. One member, Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith, has announced she will | be out of the city, while the at- tendance of another, George M. Whit- well, still is uncertain, depending on his business affairs. Both Mrs. Smith and Whitwell, however, are thought to favor Mrs. Doyle. Given Colored Support. It is felt that, in addition to Gilli- ®an's vote, Mrs. Doyle is sure to have the support of Mrs. Mary A. McNeill and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, both col- ored, who have been for her from the first discussions of a successor to Dr. Hayden Johnson, retiring president. President Johnson, who is chancellor of National University, withdraws vol- untarily from the board at the expira- tion of his term tomorrow. Henry I. Quinn is the only other person who has been considered as having a good chance for the presidency, and, until Gilligan's de- cision learned today, was thought the most likely candidate. Although neither had definitely committed himself, it has been rumored in school circles that both new members of the board may sup- port Quinn. They are Robert A Maurer, Georgetown University pro- fessor and former principal of Cen- tral High School, and Benjamin L. Gaskins, colored attorney. Monday's meeting will be their first. For such a small body as the Board | of Education, the contest for the presi- dency has been surprisingly keen. But internal politics is not new to the board . Three years ago, when Dr. Hayden Johnson was elected president he had Just been appointed and was a com- promise candidate selected because of & deadlock among other members. In the two subsequent elections, however, | he was chosen on the basis of his rec- ord in office. There was some talk that a similar solution might be sought to this year’s election problem, putting off the bal- loting untii Fall and then choosing Mr. Maurer, Experience and Training. Mrs. Doyle is well fitted by experi- ence and training for the somewhat arduous duties involved. She was appointed in 1928 and is now serving her third three-year term on the toard. During that period she has been extremely active. She is an especial favorite with the teachers, since she herself once was a teacher and understands their prob- lems. It was due largely to her ef- forts that changes in teacher ratings and promotions were ordered recently. She is particularly interested in health activities, care of handicapped children and numerous other phases | closed yesterday, ©of the board’s work. Entirely apart from her work on the School Board, Mrs. Doyle is well known in Washington. She is the wife | department heads by the board early | of Dean Doyle of the Columbian Col- lege of George Washington University and has three children, the oldest of whom was graduated from Western | High School this June. A native of England, Mrs. Doyle finished college there at the age of 19, and began to teach school. Quiet and small, she is a tireless worker and has an unusual knack of getting things done with dispatch. Because she is now vice president, she fiequently has been called upon | to preside at board meetings in the absence of the president, and has car- ried off the job smoothly and effi- ciently. Two years ago Mrs. Doyle was vice president of the National League of ‘Women Voters, and, in that capacity, traveled widely through the country. She lives in Chevy Chase at 5500 Thirty-third street. SHOWERS EXPECTED T0 LOWER MERCURY Continued Hot and Fair Weather Is Seen Over Week End, However. Continued hot and fair weather is in store for Washington over the week end and into the early part of next week, except for possible local showers this afternoon or tonight, the ‘Weather Bureau forecast today. Temperature tonight will depend upon the advent and time of the showers, but it is not expected to be quite as warm tonight as last night, when the minimum recorded was 70 degrees at 5:30 o'clock this morning. Temperatures today were running higher than yesterday, being gen- erally about 2 degrees higher through the morning than at the same time yesterday. The humidity continued high, registering 67 degrees at 8 a.m., which was about the same as yes- terday. Tomorrow is expected to be fair and a trifile cooler than today and Monday also is expected to continue fair without mwuch change in tem- perature. ——s. “Y” BUILDING BEGUN Clearing of land in the 1000 block of Seventeenth street for construc- tion of a new Y. W. C. A. dormitory was started yesterday. The buiiding is to be a gift from Mrs. Henry Alvah Strong, and will be located close to the Y. W. C. A. Building. | Dismissal Will Head Board MRS. HENRY GRATTAN DOYLE. MARYLAND U HEAD ORDERED 10 QUIT Alternative to Pearson as Result of ! Three-Month Probe. By the Associated Press. | BALTIMORE, June 29.—Dr. mond A. Pearson, president of the today faced two alternatives—resigna- tion by noon Monday or dismissal— as a result of a three-month probe of his administration by the univer- | sity Board of Regents. | The ultimatum, marking an end to the lengthy inquiry, which involved | written and verbal questioning of | deans and department heads at the | State school, was delivered at an ex- | ecutive session ot the board here yes- | terday. | Formal announcement of Dr. Pear- son’s decision, it was said by Dr. W. W. Skinner, board secretary, will be made Monday. The regents advised | the president that, if his resignation was submitted, effective September 1, he would be offered a post as consult- ant in the university's land grant col- lege activities. Byrd to Act as President. Otherwise, his connection with the institution would cease after a leave of absence for the Summer beginning Monday, the ultimatum stated. At the conclusion of the meeting, it was | learned, H. C. (Curly) Byrd, vice | president and director of athletics, | will become acting president. | The investigation of the president’s | policies was undertaken, a statement issued by Dr. Skinner last night said, | “for good and sufficient reasons.” The statement quoted a letter written to | the board in April by Dr. Pearson in which he said: | “If the charges and insinuations as | reflected recently in published state- i ments and which purport to represent ithe views of certain alumni, faculty members and others, are true, then the University of Maryland should have another president as soon as | possible.” | He continued in the letter, which | asked that the regents investigate con- | ditions, with the assertion he did not | believe the charges were justified, but | promised co-operation in the probe. | Editorial First Hint. Unrest on the campus was brought to light first in an editorial published by the Diamondback, student weekly newspaper, in which the president’s | policies were held responsible for “low- | | ering the academic standards” and | affecting the morale of the university. No charges against the president’s | character or ability were forthcoming during the investigation, it was dis- the basis of the | regents’ action being “complaints by { deans and others.” In answer to & | questionnaire submitted to deans and {in the investigation, a majority re- | ported themselves opposed to Dr. | Pearson’s administration. In a statement yesterday, Dr. Pear- son said: | “I never have heard that the board during its entire three months of in- vestigation has ever received any charge against the character or ability of the president of the university. I well know that today the university is in better condition than in any pre- ceding year of its history.” Would Be Lobbyist. The Baltimore Sun said today the post offered Dr. Pearson in event he submits his resignation will be that of lobbyist before Congress—a full- | time job for which the amount of re- | muneration has not been determined. | The paper pointed out that, as an | officer of the Land Grant College As- sociation of America, Dr. Pearson | would sponsor legislation leading to- | ward greater Federal allotments to such institutions, but that his primary duties would be to obtain more gov- ernmental funds for the Maryland school. SECURITY ACTION DUE Senate Subcommittee to Meet on D. C. Legislation Next Week. Action on the three social security bills for the District probably will be taken early next week at an executive session of the Senate subcommittee which conducted hearings. Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New York, subcommittee chairman, is due back in the city Monday. The most important changes being considered in the House bills relate to the unemployment insurance measure. Amendments to the aged and blind pension bills are designed mainly to make definitions coincide with the re- quirements in the national bill for Federal aid. —— CODE CHANGE SIGNED President Approves Law Reliev- ing City Heads of Bond Need. President Roosevelt today signed the act of Congress to amend the code of laws of the District of Co.umbia, which will relieve the District Com- missioners and other officials of the District government who do not han- dle District funds of the necessity of furnishing bonds. The President u!so today signed the act of Congress clarifying the ques- tion of assessments for paving ! road- ways and hylnw( eurbs and gutters.

STADIUM PLANS FOR EAST GAPITOL STREET APPROVED Commission Acts So Grad- ing May Start Under Work Program. PARADE GROUND AND ARMORY EMBRACED Construction of Memorial to Thomas Jefferson Here Given Indorsement. Approval was given today by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission to plans submitted by C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent of the National Capital Parks, for de- velopment of a stadium and sports center at the end of East Capitol street, on the banks of the Anacostia River, so that grading might start immediately under the new work re- lief program. At this morning’s session, the com- mission examined the plan, prepared by the Finnan committee and the special consultants, Bremer Pond, landscape architect of Harvard Uni- versity, Cambridge, Mass.,, and Fran- cis P. Sullivan, prominent local arch- itect. It definitely approved the grades, so the authorities can utilize the fill being excavated by the Dis- trict government for the new sewer | in that area. Would Avoid Delay. ‘Thomas S. Settle, the commission’s secretary, explained his organization had in mind putting workmen to | | work without delay on this grading | project for the stadium and sports center, so that the foundations of the development might go forward at once. The project embraces plans for a monster parade ground, stadium, Na- tional Guard armory for the District of Columbia, tennis courts for exhi- bition games, a swimming pool and | open air theater. This work, Settle | said, can be co-ordinated now with the sewer development, in the com- mission’s opinion. Further detailed engineering studies will be necessary, but today's action of the commission will permit placing a large number of men to work im- mediately—either under the new Works Progress Administration, of } which the local administrator is Com- | missioner George E. Allen, or by a | public works allotment through the | new Works Allotment Board. | Frederick A. Delano, the commis- | sion’s chairman, who was head of the District of Columbia Recreation Com- mittee that studied a unified recrea- tional program here, today introduced co-ordinator of recreation, Louis R. Barrett. Settle outlined as the com- | mittee’s secretary the work of the Delano group in aitempting to weld into a unified system Washington's scattered recreational facilities. | Recreation Study. } The Planning Commission sponsored | the study made by the National Recre- tion Association on public recreation in this city and its environs. This gave rise to the famous report by Le- bert H. Weir in November, 1934, pro- posing four plans for achieving unity | in recreation here. | The commission listened 1o a plea | made by Senator Frederick Hale, Re- publican, and Representative Ralph O. Brewster, Republican, both of Maine, to give the name of their State to the South Vista drive in the Mall. Maine and Missouri avenues have been wiped out in the Mall development. Senator Hale and Representative Brewster told the commission that Maine and Mis- souri came into the Union about the | same time and their names should be | preserved as twins in the Mall high- | ways. They want North Vista drive named Missouri avenue. | Construction of a fitting memorial to Thomas Jefferson here, which would | be on a par with the Lincoln Me- | morial and Washington Monument, was indorsed yesterday by the com- mission. The commission’s action n sup- porting pretentious plans for the Thomas Jefferson monument came on the heels of a presentation yesterday afternoon by Pepresentative John J.| Boylan, Democraf, of New York and | Dr. Fiske Kimball, members of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Commis- sion, appointed by Cengress. While no cost of the memorial was discussed, the commission heard a numocer of suggestions as to the form it should take and the position in the city it should occupy. There was unnmmity! in deciding that the memorial should | have a place hers in keeping with the dignity. importance and location of the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. Olmsted to Be Consulted. Frederick Law Olmsted, landscape architect of Brookline, Mass., who was on the Park Commission of 1901, will be called into consultation on the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, as will ‘William T. Partridge, consulting arch- itect of the commission, who also was associated with the 1901 body. District Line Question. Irving C. Root, engineer of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, appeared before the commission and discussed the question of what is to be done at Wisconsin avenue and the District line, now that plans are to abandon the street car line there and ‘substitute busses. The commission instructed its staff to make a thorough study of this situation, as well as of the Mont- gomery Blair portal at Sixteenth street and the District line. The problem at Wisconsin avenue is whether there should be a circle or an oval created there when the street car tracks go. Pinnan also laid before the commis- sion proposals to rejuvenate the local downtown parks and to construct two swimming pools out of the $1,000,000 P. W. A. allocation made recently by Secretary Ickes. These plans the commission indorsed, with minor sug- gestions. MSGR. CONNEALLY HERE Californian Visits Former Class- mate on Way to Europe. The Rev.

He also said he would ask for contributions of band instru- ments for the purpose of organizing a band. “No two will be uniform but we will show them what a gang of men in rags can do by way of making music and noise,” he said. Officials of the Transient Bureau | said the number of men seeking shel- | ter and food had greatly increased during the past four days.

MODIFIED LIQUOR | SALE PLAN WEIGHED ‘The bill, making a variety of changes | in the local liquor law, which struck a | snag at Senate hearings last week, | may be reported out by the Senate District Committee with a todified | amendment on the controversial ques- | tion of requiring ietailers to ouy sup- plies from local wnolesalers. | The proposal now being considered by the committee would give the Com- missioners discretionary authority to | put this rule iatc effect, but also| would allow retailers to go outside the | District to buy ury brands not avail- | able locally. | A retailer wishing to make outside purchases would apply to the Beverage | Control Board for a permit, which | would be issued without cost. HEN the extensive substitu- tion of busses for street cars, already ordered, goes into effect, the car crews will be ready to take over the busses. All day yesterday some 50 motormen and conductors, many of them with years of service on street cars, piloted busses through little-traveled streets in their first day's training for their new jobs. There will be no turning out of old employes incident to the passing of the street car, Daniel S. Schmidt, transportation superintendent of the Capital Transit Co., has said. Two busses plied back and forth along Connecticut avenue between Chevy Chase Circle and Chevy Chase Lake throughout the day, and two others ran through the streets of Southwest Washington.

The few which had not come up to requirements will be sent to the drivers’ school at Four- teenth and East Capitol streets. This morning the instruction con- tinued and was to go on every day for a week or more. Only those trainmen who wish to drive busses will be transferred from street cars, but this includes most of those affected by the changes. A few oldtimers—and there are sev- eral of these on the Chevy Chase Lake line—have asked to be continued on cars. They will be shifted to other sections of this city. In this class are E. J. Fling and Charles Beavers, both with more than 40 years’ service, whose white hair and mustaches have long been familiar to Chevy Chase car l On September 1 he will start —Star Staff Photos. “Most of the men are glad to change over to busses,” said W. B. McMahon, one of the instructors on the Chevy Chase line. “They really are more comfortable for the operator. There is less monotony and busses are cooler | in the Summer and warmer in the | Winter.” Bus substitutions now planned prob- | ably will result in the conversion of about 100 street car motormen and conductors. There are 67 in the Chevy Chase Lake division, 30 in the South- ern division, which includes the Sev- enth street line running to Chevy Chase Circle, and about 25 on the Anacostia line. The only rush in trairing trainmen to be bus drivers is for the Anacostia service, since the change to busses there goes into effect July 15.

STRIKE SPEEDS UP POTATO MEASURE | Committee Decides to Take Up Control Bill After White House Interview. By the Associated Press The Senate Agriculture Committee decided to take up the Warren potato control bill today, reportedly under the urging of President Roosevelt, who was advised of a potato shippers’ strike in Virginia. The strike was threatening to spread to the Eastern parts of North Carolina and Virginia. The serious situation on the Eastern Shore of Virginia was brought to the President’s attention last by Repre- sénative Warren, Democrat, of Mis- souri, author of the measure, which would bring potatoes under the farm adjustment program. After the Warren conference, Mr. Roosevelt was said to have communi- cated with the chairman of the Sen- ate and House Agricultural Commit- tees. The House Committee discussed the bill yesterday, but deferred action un- til Monday. DRIVE ON DOGS BEGUN Police Demand Muzzling Follow- ing Complaints of Attacks.
