SMITH LOSES IN OPENING CLASH ON SCHOOL BILL Chambers Measure Would Clip Education Powers of Trustees. Senator Leo X. Smith (D. Indianapolis) failed vesterday in an effort to kill a bill which he apparently thought was a blow at the of township trustees. Senator Smith is attorney for Hannah Noone, Center Township trustee. The bill which caused Senator Smith so much concern is the measure introduced by Senator Walter S. Chambers <D., Newcastle) which would make the county the unit for educational purposes, taking the authority from township trustees and placing it in the hands of a county education board. The Senate Education Committee met yesterday to corsider the measure. Senator Chambers, the author, explained its provisions. ••This is a radical measure but it mast come sooner or later,” he ■aid “If I were thinking of my political future I wouldn't touch this bill with a 10-foot pole. I haven't any interest in it except that it's right. I* will take politics out of township schools." Promise* Large Saving Senator Chambers pointed out that the proposal should save Indiana counties between 53.000.000 and *5 000.000 annually by doing away with many of the school busses and seducing the number of teachers. “But that isn't the important thing.'" he declared. “The important thing is to give the 300.000 pupils in township schools the best education possible. This bill will help by consolidating the schools, the high schools particularly, so the pupils will have the benefit of teachers in specialized subjects." Senator Smith atempted to ridicule the measure. “Who is asking for these great reforms?” he inquired. Further Study Proposed A strained situation was relieved bv Senator William P. Dennigan TD.. Vincennes), who remarked that he had come to the committee meeting to oppose the measure, but that Senator Chambers’ explanation had convinced him that the bill should be allowed to reach the floor without recommendation. However, after further consideration, the committee resolved to withhold final action until members had a chance for further study. As Senator Chambers left the committee he was approached by officials of the Indiana Township Trustees' Association, who asked “Why he was stirring up this antagonism." “B<vau.se it's a good bill,” he replied. Charles Dawson. Indianapolis, secretary-treasurer of the group, accused Senator Chambers of not knowing the contents of the measure. “Why don't you read your bill?” he asked. “Who are you to come here and insult me,” demanded Senator Chambers. “It's my bill and I know what's in it ” Mr. Dawson apologized and the informal caucus broke up with handshaking all around. Election Bill Reported All political parties would be required to declare in party platforms that overthrow of the government by force is not a party objective. I
