HITS “RED” RIDER
Board of Estimates’ Pro
posal Approved by Citi
zens’ Association.
Approval of the Sisson bill, to repeal
the "red rider” banning the teaching
of communism in the public schools,
was voiced in a resolution adopted
last night by the Kalorama Citizens’
Association.
In another resolution, the associ
ation indorsed a plan whereby
"Congress shall establish a perma
nent Board of District Estimates, con
sisting of the Commissioners, a repre
sentative of the Secretary of In
terior, a representative of the Bureau
of the Budget and such other officials
as may seem pfoper.”
The resolution declared that the
Commissioners' estimates "intelligently
and conscientiously compiled are often
go inconsiderately cut by the Federal
Bureau of the Budget that appropri
ations for vital needs of the commu
nity are eliminated or reduced below
the margin of safety.”
It was contended that the plan
would provide a means "to determine
the proper contribution of the Fed

Work Week rian Scored.
The proposed 40-hour work week
for women In the District was con
demned as "unsound in principle and
unfair in practice.” and Congress was
asked to "base welfare provisions on
the nature of the work rather than
on the sex of the worker.”
The 48-hour work week for women
now In eflect here ”ls regarded by
the International Labor Office as the
Ideal wwk week, and, since men here
enjoy a 48-hour week enforced by la
bor, both sexes are now on a parity,*
the opposing resolution stated.
‘ The drastic penalties, burdensome
records and the increased pay roll
would cause the replacement of wom
en by men In many industries and
would thus deprive adult women of
an opportunity to earn a living," at
was further declared.
The meeting was addressed by Miss
Mary E. Coulson of the Council of
Social Agencies, who explained the
probation system bill sponsored by
her organization, and deplored cuts
made in grants for probationary ac
tivities; and by Miss Laura Berrian,
member of the bar, who told of the
pending Juvenile Court bill.

Lack of Evidence and Im
proper Instructions Stress
ed in Argument.
By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, March 10.—Insufficien
cy of evidence and improper instruc
tions to the jury were set forth as chief
points in the appeal of Edith Mdxwell
for a writ of error in arguments be
fore the Supreme Court of Appeals
yesterday.
Alfred A. Skeen of Clintwood, the
only one of the three attorneys for j
the young Wise County school teacher
to speak during the 30-minute argu-j
ment, told the court-that when it had
“considered this record it will be at I
a lass to account for the return of ,
a verdict of first-degree murder." j
The defendant was convicted inj
Wise County Circuit Court of the!
slaying of her father, Tngg Max
well, and is under sentence of 25 years’
imprisonment. The appeal to the
Virginia Supreme Court was taken
after Judge H. A. W. Skeen refused j
to set aside the verdict.
Mr. Skeen declared in his argu
ment that the Circuit Court should
have instructed the jury as to second
degree murder and manslaughter, as ;
well as first-degree murder, but that'
the defense did not request such in
structions at the trial because It
would "have forced abandonment of
our plea of self-defense.”
"There is one vital point in this
petition, to my mind,” Mr. Skeen told
the Supreme Court Justices, "and If
my premises are right other assign
ments of error set forth here would
become moot questions. That point Is
nf t.Yu* At-iHonra f
uphold the verdict."
‘‘I am not unmindful of the weight
which attaches to the verdict of a
jury upheld, by a court,” he cmtinued,
"but when this court har considered
this record it will be at a loss to ac- j
count for the returning of a verdict
of first-degree murder."
The court will announce a deci
sion in two to three weeks."
