ANSWERS lEACHER TENURE CRITICS Measure's Old Enemies Are Blamed for Complaints. Complaints against the teacher tenure law passed at the recent session of the. Indiana legislature are in many instances being fostered by members of the House or Senate who fniled to support the bill and are noxv trying to justify themselves in their home communities. This is the opinion of Secretary O. H. Williams of the Indiana State Teachers’ Association, the organization which backed the hill and was largely responsible for its passage. “The teacher tenure law was wanted by almost all of the teachers," Williams explained. “It will prove beneficial, just nnd protective here as it ha.-- in many other States.” “Many complaints against it come from politicians who did not give it support, or from misinformed persons. Many have the erroneous idea that if a teacher’s contract is signed now that the tenure applies and the trustees will not be able to discharge the contract holder. Such is not the case. There is a five-year probationary period provided for in the measure and no teacher is governed by it until this has been served in a given school.” The law provides that after the five-year period has been successfully passed the teacher may not be discharged “without just cause" and is entitled to a hearing. Student in Stripes Shot by Policeman Bn United Press BOSTON. March 26. Corcoran Eustls, Harvard student, and member of a prominent Washington (D.

Walter Knight, traffic policeman, shot Kustis in the arm when the automobile in which the student was riding failed to stop at his command. Knight said he thought ho heard somebody in the car say "let's stick him up." The remark and Eustis' striped suit led him to believe the student was an escaping convict, Knight explained. William Ellis, Walter Maynard and Jeffrey Gates were in the car with Eustis.

JEWISH ISSUE IN LIBEL CASE GIYES JIM REED WORRY Ford's Chief Counsel Had Fondly Hoped Racial Question Was Out. By Earl Sparling DETROIT, Mich., March 26 —For tho Hon. Jim Reed of Missouri this million-dollar libel imbroglio is haps becoming daily less a trial more a tribulation. , ~ I When he entered the affair, as chief attorney for Henry Ford, he expectorated and proclaimed in effect that, so far as the Jewish race was concerned, tlie proceedings would be all and nothing but pork. A eulogizer of Jews, he insisted that tho race had no part in tho libel claims of Aaron Sapiro, Jewish farm marketing expert. Today, at end of two weeks' action, tho so-called racial issue lias gotten its head so far into the tent that Judge Fred Raymond lias announced the word “Jew" must inevitably be considered. Jeffersonian Code Hit That is bothersome enough, but, in addition, tlie very tolerant Senator finds himself in another strange situation. Jlc has been always a sure fire eulogizer, not only of the Jewish race, but of tho Jeffersonian bill of rights. He finds himself involved, however, in a merry free press and free speech row, tho net results to date of which are that Aaron Sapiro has agreed not to grant newspaper interviews ami Ford's Dearborn Independent has agreed not to refer to tho trial editorially. Put the Senator's worst experience came yesterday. Ever since ho returned from Washington last Monday to find the Jewish issue loose in court. Reed had kept to the subdued sidelines. Yesterday, however, Stewart Hanley, another Ford ney, left temporarily and found himself for the first time definitely conducting the examination. Important Meeting At this juncture W. H. Gallagher, chief Sapiro attorney, introduced his surprise witness, .Tames Martin Miller, from Jim Reed’s own Washington. This meeting of Washingtonians was unquestionably the most important development thus far. Miller, it seems, not only once wrote a very intimate book, “The Amazing Story of Henry Ford,” hut ho was, in 1923, employed by the Dearborn Independent, and in October of that year held a conversation with Henry Ford, Its publisher. “He asked me," Miller testified. Why don’t you write an article about the Jews In tho Federal Reserve, Eugene Meyer and the others?” “He asked me if I knew Aaron Sapiro, I told him I didn’t but I had heard of him. To Upset Apple Cart “Ford said, ‘Sapiro is organizing the farmers with the Jews and trying to bilk them. We are now going to expose him. The Dearborn Independend has a large circulation among the farmers, and I think will upset the apple cart.’" Sapiro attorneqs had been trying for two weeks to prove Henry Ford's alleged part In his magazine attacks. Senator Reed, perhaps a bit overcome at this first success of his opponents, asked Miller only one question. Referring to Miller’s by the Ford Magazine, Reed "You set that claim up in a court in Washington and were defeated?” “I lost," answered Miller, and was allowed to leave the stand.
