To Leave Board
GEORGE M. WHITWELL.
DR. J. HAYDEN JOHNSON.
Board
(Continued From First Page.)
ters the time and attention which. In
my opinion, should rightly be re
quired of a board member," he said.
“Furthermore, as the result of a
quite continued illness during tne
past Winter, I am advised that I
will have to lighten the load of my
activities."
Dr. Johnson, chairman of the
Committee on Complaints and Ap
peals, who Is completing his twenty
Arst year of continuous service on
the board, also cited pressure of pro
fessional activities as the reason he
would not be able to consider re
appointment.
"It is with a great deal of regret
that I And it necessary to terminate
my connection with the board,” he
said. “I have always been extremely
interested in the schools but have
been finding It increasingly difficult
to And the. time to give them that
they rightly deserve.”
Whitwell Served Since 1931.
Appoint In the Fall of 1931 to fill
the unexpired term of the late Dr. H.
Barrett Learned, who was president
of the board at the time of his death,
Whitwell was reappointed in 1934. In
addition to his chairmanship of the
Finance" Committee, he has been a
member of the Personnel and Rules
Committees. He has been a strong
advocate of promotion to responsible
positions from within the school sys
tem.
When questionnaires were sent
District teachers by former Repre
sentative Thomas Blanton of Texas
last June, asking for theii political
and religious doctrines, as well as
specific questions regarding particular
publications, Whitwell bitterly de
nounced the idea and was responsible
for the language of the resolution
adopted by the board advising teach
ers they were not obligated to reply
and that their failure to do so would
not affect their record or status in the
school system.
Red Rider Repeal Advocate.
A firm believer in repeal of the "red
rider,” he was also greatly interested
in the revision of teacher rating
sheets.
Dr. Johnson was first appointed
July 1, 1916, and was a member of
the board that brought Dr. Frank W.
Ballou to Washington as superintend
ent of schools. In addition to his
chairmanship of the Complaints and
and Appeals Committee, he is on the
Buildings, Grounds and Equipment
Committee and the Personnel Com
mittee. He formerly served on the
Finance Committee.
Especially Interested in the health
and physical education program, he
helped organize the program that
brought Birch E. Bayh into the sys
tem as head of the health and physi
cal education department. He also
vigorously opposed boxing in the
schools when the issue came up in
1933. He opposed the "red rider” and
was also interested in teacher ratings.
Both members opposed the reinstate
ment of the magazine Scholastic on
the approved school list, casting the
two dissenting votes when the pub
lication was restored at a recent board
meeting.
LABOR FEATURE ON WOL

radio broadcasts on the "Parade of
Labor” will be given from the Ken
nedy-Warren over Station WOL from

ment between Commercial Telegra

15-Day Campaign to Raise
$120,000 Opened
Today.
Time on Washington's four radio
broadcasting stations will be devoted
at 11:15 tonight to the united hospital
appeal following opening of a 15-day
drive today for the $120,000 needed to
meet hospitals’ pressing needs.
Ross Garrett, director of the Cen
tral Admitting Bureau for Hospitals,
will act as master of ceremonies, in
troducing Charles D. Drayton, chair
man of the Hospital Presidents’ Com
mittee and president of Children’s
Hospital, who will appeal to Wash
ingtonians to make up unpaid thou
sands of dollars spent in care of the
needy.
Dr. Joseph S. Wall, child specialist,
will follow Drayton, presenting the
medical angle of the drive and making
a plea for aid to doctors throughout
the city who have given an estimated
$3,000,000 worth of free service in
wards and clinics.
H. L. Willett, president of the Com
munity Chest, will make clear the in
ability of the Chest to support com
pletely the hospitals' work, despite Its
provision for 7,860 hospital days and
22,000 clinic visits in the first two
months of this year.
Arrangements for the appeal to
baso ball fans on opening day rapidly
neared completion today with Clark
Griffith, owner of the Washington Na
tionals, entering into the spirit of the
drive whole-heartedly. A booth is to
be erected on the .nalr> ramp at Griffith
Stadium. There, 12 pretty nurses will
ask those about to enjoy the first
game to remember the city’s under
privileged sick and buy a crusade but
ton.
During the day leaflets presenting in
brief the problems faced by hospitals
here and asking that citizens join in
answering them were distributed ovef
the city.
It has been decided, Garrett said to
day, that crusaders on "badge day,”
May 1, and on opening day would not
wear gray veils. White ribbons bear
ing blue letters will identify ladies’
board members and nurses soliciting,
he said.
State Senate Abolition Urged.
LANSING, Mich., April 15 OP).—.
Representative Philip J. Rahoi, Iron

Michigan Legislature yesterday a Joint
resolution to abolish the Senate and
make the Lieutenant Governor presid
ing officer of the 100-member House.
A most
convenient way to^
enjoy the luxury of!
good clothes is to
"charge it the Bond way.
This service permits you
WITH a plump bankroll, it’s no great trick to enjoy
the luxury of clothes that "look like a million".
But how about all the fellows with a bread-and-butter
budget? They're entitled to a break, too! And here’s
where they get it Park Lane Suits have everything
that it takes — everything but the high-hat price!
The ace weavers of New England are responsible
for the woolens — the kind that feel soft as a
kitten’s ear, and are veritable bulldogs for wear. The
premier needleworkers in our Rochester tailoring
shops have given them shape-retaining quality —
with stitches so fine that you can hardly see them.
And the tariff is typically Bond! With the bulging
selections that have just rolled in from our Rochester
workrooms, this is the week to get a real eyeful.
