SCHOOL CHIEFS MEET TO BREAK NEGRO STRIKE Court Action Is Threatened If No. 65 Is Kept Closed by Board. Instruction committee members of the school board met today to consider the strike of thirty-nine Negro pupils against transfer from School 65 to School 37. A large delegation of Negroes from the district appeared before the board at its meeting Tuesday night and threatened court action if School 65, consisting of two portable buildings, is not opened. The delegation said pupils would continue to refuse to go to School 37 despite efforts of officials to transport them in a bus. Economy Is Challenged "It seems to me these people are standing in the light of their own children,” President; Theodore M. Vonnegut said. ‘‘lnstead of a poorly lighted and ventilated portable they would attend one of the most modem schools in the city at No. 37.” Commissioner Fred Bates Johnson challenged the economy of the transfer with the statement the average daily cost of School 65 was $lB, whereas it is costing sls daily to hire a bus for transportation of the children. Tie Vote on Milk With Mrs. Lillian Sedwick absent because of illness, the board was composed ,of two majority members, Vonnegut and Charles W. Korn, and two minority members, Chardes R. Yoke and Fred Bates Johnson. Yoke’s motion that. contracts for supplying milk in schools be awarded to Polk Milk Company for Districts 1 to 5 and to the Weber Milk Company for Districts 6 and 7 resulted in a tie vote, Kern and Vonnegut voting “no,” holding that the Polk company should get the entire contract. Might as Well Quit On another occasion, when Johnson referred to passage of a certain rule by “majority members,” disclaiming any responsibility for the rule, Vonnegut asked why Johnson did not resign from the board if he “felt that way.” “Sometimes I think I might as well for all my effectiveness on the board,” Johnson replied. “Oh, well, once in a while you get a bright idea we can use,” Vonnegut said. “I can’t recall any you have accepted,” Johnson retorted.

SELFISH AIMS BEAT REVOLT, CALLES SAYS Rebel Generals Had Nothing to Offer Their Country, President Asserts. BY G. F. FINE United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY Oct. 12.—Mexico’s abortive revolution today deteriorated to posse-like hunting of small fugitive groups—a failure because its leaders had only their personal ambitions to offer the country— President Calles declared in a statement to American newspaper correspondents. Calles disclosed that he long had known of plans for a revolt. His exposition pictured him as a receiving secret service reports of rebel plans to subvert the army and-kid-nap or assassinate him. For weeks, he indicated, he pursued his routine duties whi'e knowing that at any moment be might be attacked. Tried to Trap Calles He said that the rebels nad set two previous dates for their i evolt— Sept. 15 and 27 —before final y Gen. Hector Almada, of the Mexico City Garrison, precipitated the rebellion by marching out of the capital with a portion of his men. .That was on Oct. 2, and on that day, Calles said, he was to have attended maneuvres conducted by troops of which the rebels formed a part. Almada, he said, had pressed him to attend. Almada also had tried to get him to attend maneuvres by Almada’s troops on Sept. 27, Calles said. The president in his statement, paid high tribute to the army. “The complete failure of the revolt,” he said, “was due to the high sense of honor among our soldiers.” Full Trust In Army So great was his trust in the Mexican, army, Calles said, that though knowing the full extent of the rebels’ determination to overthrow the government, he permitted all the plotters to retain their posts and carry out thei% normal duties. He cited as evidence the fact that the revolt broke out almost simul-

taneously at several widely separated spots. “There was one important factor that kept the army and the people from supporting the rebels and caused general disregard of the constant seditious efforts,” Calles added. “That was the absolute lack of ideas of a social order in the personal aims and ambitions of the rebels. Nothing to Offer People "They had nothing to offer that could be of advantage socially and economically to the country. ' "Now the revolt is purely a military problem, following the complete dispersal of the rebel forces. There never was a serious political problem. “The entire question is that of
