FIERY CLASHES MARK SCHOOL BOARD SESSION Minority Members Wrathy Over Ousting of Instructors. School officials settled down to a day of rest today, following two hectic sessions Tuesday, in which Superintendent Charles F. Miller was subjected to bitter condemnation by minority board members over teacher appointments recommendations. The board will meet age in at 9 a. m. Thursday, to receive Miller's recommendations lor elementary school principals. Active hostilities began at a special meeting Tuesday morning, when Miller presented the entire list of teachers for approval. The board approved a partial list, submitted several days before, but refused to approve the entire list. Full approval was given the list Tuesday night over protest of President Charles W. Kern and Commis- : .oner Theodore F. Vonnegut. They were particularly bitter over drop- l ping of seven teachers. Kern giving up the chair to Vice-President Lewis E. Whiteman when vote on the matter was called. Both Kern and < Vonnegut refused to vote. Teachers Are Dropped The teachers to be dropped are: E—J Christoph, Mary Connor, Minnie Cormor, Fred Donahue, Rcba Hill, Christine Junken and Sadye Mays.

Kern repeated demands that Miller publicly explain why they were being dropped. Miller continuing to insist on explanation in executive session. “I don't want anything to do with it. It is dirty from start to finish,” Vonnegut said in refusing to vote. Miller and Vonnegut engaged in a fiery dispute, when Miller said: “As to one of these teachers in particuiar, Mr. Vonnegut came to me at least half a dozen times to see if we couldn’t get rid of her.” "Say, tell the whole truth, will you?” Vonnegut shouted. "That's the trouble with you, telling half truths.” ”1 am teling the whole truth,” Miller replied evenly. Clashes Arc Numerous The board was in session until 11 p. m. with verbal conflicts occurring every few moments. A truce was declared for a short j time while the board unanimously voted a travel order for Miller to I attend the National Education As- j sociation, June 28 to July 4, at At- j lanta, Ga., and also granted him j leave of absence to attend the world J federation of education conference, July 25 to Aug. 4, at Geneva, Switzerland, as N. E A. representative. Vonnegut made the motion granting these requests. Kern and Vonnegut protested additional changes in the buildings and grounds department, particularly appointment of third and fourth janitors for grade schools “at the start of the summer vacation.” “No doubt these men need jobs and must be taken care of,” Kern commented sarcastically. Bars Painting Jobs The board unanimously refused to allow a number of painting and repair jobs, because of condition of the budget. • A $600,000 temporary loan was authorized to finance the school city until receipt of tax money. Heating and ventilating plans for Schools 15 and 49 were approved, and preliminary sketches for School 81 were approved. A representative of the Central Wire and Iron Works appeared to protest awarding of a contract for a fence at Arsenal Tecnnical high school for $4,086 to lioover Brothper cent lower. Kern explained that he and Vonnegut had been opposed to spending the money at this time, but majority faction members felt the Hoover Brothers’ bid, though higher, was the best bid.

EX-NEWSBOY IS COLLEGE HEAD R. G. Sproul, 38, New Chief of California U. SAN FRANSCICO, June 12.—A newsboy who worked his way through college has been appointed today as head of the University of California at 38. the second comparatively young man to be named a college ■ president recently. 1 The ex-newsboy was Robert Gorj don Sproul, whose appointment by j the board of regents was announced ! late Tuesday. The “boy prexy” j was Robert Hutchins of Yale, rej cently appointed president of the j University of Chicago at the age | of 30. Sproul was vice-president and controller of the university and the logical successor to Dr. W. W. Campbell, who will retire July 31, 1930, to become director of Lick observatory. Sproul will be one of the few college presidents without a Ph. D. degree. Mortimer Fleischmacher, banker and one of the regents, said ; in commenting on Sprout’s lack of a doctor’s degree, that the new president was chosen for his administrative ability and knowledge of business methods.

PAYING FOE PROGRESS No problem facing American cities during the past ten years has increased in the same proportion as traffic. The automobile has become a family institution, and constantly mounting vehicle registration is forcing the engineering departments of cities to seek new traffic outlets. Present-day side streets may form part of cross-town thoroughfares ten years hence. Experience in Indianapolis and cities throughout the nation is proving that Asphalt is better adapted to widening operations than any other type of pavement. The original surface can be fused with the new to form an unbroken surface extending from curb to curb. Asphalt leaves no joints to ravel and crumble or serve as crevices where water may set in to freeze and crack the pavement. The original pavement and the original investment it represents are saved and the widened street has the appearance and wearing qualities of anew pavement. Since traffic is on the increase and widening programs must face cities for years to come, and as extension of Public Utility Service necessitates cutting into pavements, it represents wisdom on the part of taxpayers to choose Asphalt not only for its beauty and wearing qualities, but because Asphalt is the pavement best adapted to progress.

FRANCE ENTERS SEA RACE. HUGE SHIP PLANNED Super-Liner Will Exceed 60,000 Tons, Use Electric Power. BY RICHARD D. M’MILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, June 12—A new ocean giant to sail under the French tricolor is now being planned as an addition to the passenger fleet of the French line, which will thus bring France into the running in the maritime race which is developing between Britain and Germany. Although fire recently crippled the new German liner Europa, the Germans are rapidly completing her sister-ship, the Bremen, with which they hope to carry off the speed riband of the Atlantic from the Cunard. The Mauretania has held the record for nearly twenty years. Asa reply to the German challenge, the British White Star line and Cunard companies are reported to be building two vessels which will have a tonnage of about 70,000 apiece and will far outclass the

According to present reports, the vessel will be nearly 900 feet in j length, which falls short of the 1.000 i
