HIGH SCHOOLS OF CITY ARE OVERCROWDED Shortridge, Technical and Washington All Are Above Maximum Enrollment. Confronted with a reduced budget and huge interest costs if bonds are floated, city school board members today faced the dilemma of solving overcrowded conditions in three Indianapolis high schools. Shortridge high school, constructed at a total cost of $1,304,500, and designed to accommodate 2,500 pupils, had an enrollment of 3,403, according to the most recent figures. Technical high school, designed ior 5,000 pupils, has an enrollment of 5,886, and Washington high school, designed for approximately 1,200, has an enrollment of 1,621, School officials repeatedly have stressed the point that adequate housing and the abolishment of portable schools could be done

away with If the sfchool system were placed on a “pay-as-you-go-plan.” The school board borrows more than a $1,000,000 a year from local banks and the interest runs more than $60,000 each year. That money, all members of the school board agree, is “wasted out of the taxpayers’ pocket.” The board has urged the state tax board to accept the report of the state accounts board, which annually urges the adoption of the “pay-as-you-go system.” The school board can’t forever be putting out bond issues and borrowing money at high interest rates to build and maintain schools, Russell Willson, school board president, has stressed, and he charges the tax commission’s stand is “penny wise and pound foolish.” On Jan. 23, H. F. Osier, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said that a “cold snap would peril the whole school system." This week the cold snap hit and, on Monday, more than 200 pupils were sent to their homes, because the schools were unable to provide sufficient heat. Overcrowding this semester Is not so severe as in past terms, the school heads assert, pointing to a system developed by Milo Stuart and H. T. Weir, assistant superintendents, to regulate more properly the overcrowding situation.

‘BRIBERY’HINT IS HURLED IN CO-OPHEARING Loans Refused to Dairy Men Not Members of Farm Group, Is Charge. ! By United Prexx WASHINGTON, March 11.—’W. A. ! Moody, president of the St. Louis , Live Stock Exchange, today accused C. B. Denman, federal farm board member, of refusing to grant j drought loans to dairymen who were not members of the co-opera- : tive organizations sponsored by the | | board. “That was corruption and at- j tempted bribery,” Moody declared | before the house agricultural com- ! j mittee.

"subsidies” to livestock co-opera-tives. Moody said he protested to President Hoover. He said Mr. Hoover replied by telegram that Denman was authorized to act. Denman, the member of the farm board in charge of livestock matters, laughed when told of Moody’s attack on him. In the first place, Denman said, the law does not permit the board to lend funds to any but co-opera-tive organizations. Secondly, the board has had nothing to do with the drought relief loans made by the department of agriculture, he asserted.

the policy of Republican congressional leaders who have refused recently to answer Democratic indictment against his administration. If the President had his way, there would be more fighting by Republican senators instead of their silent submission to Democratic oratory. Unable apparently to impress his will on Republican spokesmen at the Capitol, the President’s idea is being executed in radio speeches and other public address by his cabinet assistants and other appointive officers. With his permission, Secretary of

War Patrick Hurley and Secretary of Agriculture Hyde are making frequent political speeches, praising the President's record and abusing the Democrats. Assistant secretary of the navy Jahncke is another administration musketeer engaging in provocative speech making. Senators Fess, Ohio, chairman of the Republican national committee; Watson, Indiana, Republican leader; Moses, New Hampshire, and Reed. Pennsylvania, White House spokesman, have, however, refrained from political speech making. They feel that such oratory at
