There wore reports bu’h here and In Paris that though the Nationalists had refused to give any public assurances, they had privaiely given some of importance. It was said, for instance, that without promising to refrain from reprisals, the Nationalists had said that they would be fair in judging those of their enemies whom they succeeded ed in seizing. t France was said to have obtained an understanding that the Nationalists would reaffirm their treaties with France, particularly the Mulural arbitration pact and the Algeciras treaty which provides for coordinated policies in Morocco and divides Morocco into French and Spanish Spheres, with France controling by far the greater part. o DRUNK DRIVING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) deputy under Mr. Brown, stated he did not think Stauffer w’as under the influence at the jail, two hours after the crash. Aumann also testified that he saw Stauffer “walk up the road and then fall.” A highlight of the trial occurred iu the heated quizzing of the former sheriff by Attorney McCleuehan when he endeavored to substantiate the contention that Mr. Brown had been trying to "get something on Stauffer.”

SPLIT APPEARS IN COMMITTEE i Separate Reports Expecti ed From Textbook Committee ! Indianapolis, Feb. 23. — (U.R) —A split appeared today in the bi-par-1 tisan senate textbook investiga- ' Hon committee as Democratic 1 members prepared to hand in a ' searate report opposing that draft- ' ed by Sen. <>.

port drafted by the Republican ipemhors Is ninety percent insinuai lon, innuendo and inference and illogical conclusion drawn from such Irrelevancles." Arnold said that under the resolution which brought the commit tee Into existence, there were only 1 four propositions eet forth for in- | V'-stigatlon and report. These I propositions, he said, were allegled unnecessary frequency of textI book changes, alleged price <llß- - crimination against Indiana by book companies, charges of prosouthern bias in a certain AmerI lean history text adopted, and I rumors of graft and"rake-off" in I book adoptions. The Republican members under(take to deal with seven proposij tions. Arnold charged, only three i of which are legitimate under the 'original resolution. The long overdue report, sched- , uled to be Introduced yesterday, was held up as a result of the ■ Democratic opposition and was expected to bo introduced sometime I today, along with the dissenting report. The report drafted by Lane j charges that textbooks are ehang i ed too often, and in only about half 'the cases do the changes concur ' with the opinion among teachers . and educators in lite state. 1 It charged that In some instances series of books were broken in ; order to "divide business" among I several book companies. It also I states that much information rei garding the system of selection of , books for adoption was unavailable to the committee and that the board of education gave no "satisfactory explanation” of its inability to produce certain records. The report recommends the rental system, multiple adoptions, rei moval of the governor's appointive ' powers in connection with the state board of education, that adop- | tions be made for longer periods of time, and that a study committee be appointed to report to the , next legislature on recodification of school and textbook laws.
