WASHINGTON'S ~ COUNCIL FACES RIFT WITH SHS
Strained Relations | With North Side Schog) to Be Studied.
By EARL HOFF One of the first things Washing-
ton High School student council will |}
tackle, now that it finally has got ‘under way this year, is the strained relations between Washington and Shortridge High School. The schools’ severed athletic rela- _ tions when football rivalry this season causea a Nare-up between partisans of the schools. The Washington group will take up the matter after it elects executive officers Wednesday. | A number of delays caused the council to get off to a slow start in its second year, among the most important of which was a change in Roll Rooms. One for Each 30
The council is made up of a representative for each 30 or major:
fraction of 30 pupils in each Roll Room. There are around 50 council members. The council members
couldn't be erected until the Roll
Room problem was settled. | The election Wednesday |will be for seven Executive Council members, but more than the 50 representative council members may vote. The right of franchise is extended to every Washington pupil on pay“ment of a two-cent “poll tax.” Voters will have a choice of three slates: the Continentals, the Progressives and the Student! Party, headed respectively by Robert Millspaugh, Joseph Zupan Jr. ai Wwilliam Asher.
There’s Work to be Done
The Washington council thought it had matters like the too intense inter-rivalry in hand last year when it sponsored a Sportsmanship Code. But now there’s work to be done.
. School officials, incidentally, are of the opinion that the councils work may not have been all [in vain, because they believe it wasn’t the pupils, who defaced both Washingtonrand Shortridge school property and started a fight at the Washington football field.
Among other things the | council plans to work on is a revision of its constitution, which took a year’s research to write. Harvey V. Raquet, faculty sponsor, said after a year’s use the constitution was found to be rigid. Meet During Day. | The Representative Council meets once a month and special meetings may be called. The Executive Council meets twice a month regularly and also holds special sessions. The meetings are held during the school day because many |of the members have “short hours” and it would be inconvenient for them to return to school for afternoon meetings. Walter G. Ginger, principal, emphasized that the council was important enough as the voice| of the pupils in the government of the school for pupils to miss one or two classes a month.

NON-DEFENSE 00STS OF U. S. FACING SLASH
Congressional Group Begins
Work on Appropriations For Fiscal Year.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P.).— A Congressional committee began
|work today on appropriations to
run the Government during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1941, Rising costs threaten even bigger defense spending than the peacetime records established for the current year, but leaders expect other Geyernment functions to be cut and may consider a joint Congressional budget study aimed 8 reducing costs where - possible.
Rep. Clifton A. Woodrum (D. Va.), one of the ranking members of the House Appropriation Committee and a. leader of the Congressional economy bloc, called a subcommittee together to begin work on the Independent Offices Bill. He hopes to have it ready when the new Congress meets.
Non-Defense Items Face Cut
Mr. Woodrum, House Appropriations Committee Chairman, Edward T. Taylor, and other economy leaders in the Senate and House assert that all non-defense appropriations will have to be “cut to the bone” in order to provide additional funds for the Army and Navy.
Rep. Woodrum eaid that during an emergency such as the present it was important that the Government embark on “no new adventures” in the domestic field. He promised to examine carefully all claims that old Government services now need expansion in the interest of national defense.
Supplies 50 Agencies
The Independent Offices Bill supplies the money for about - 50 agencies and commissions not connected with regular departments. The largest amount goes to the Veterans’ Administration to provide for the care of veterans and pay pensions to the disabled of other wars. Veterans’ benefits are fixed by law and have not yet reached their peak. But while an increase was in prospect in this item, Mr. Woodrum saw hope for substantial reductions in other “regular” services. : Tomorrow another House subcommittee, headed by Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.), begins work on the Treasury-Post Office Bill.

Words of Praise Stun the Board
WORKS BOARD members: received an indication of something they thought akin to the Christmas spirit today. Instead of complaints they received praise from a group of taxpayers! The Board had asembled for a public hearing to approve the final roll for the paving of Linden St. from LaGrande Ave, to Raymond St. As the members faced a large group of property owners, they prepared to hear the worst. J “We are very proud of our new street and are entirely satisfied,” the property owners said. The ‘Board members were too stunned to approve the ‘roll and later agreed to call the property owners back again for: final approval
