fore the Committee. He said he was standing on his constitutional rights and that he refused to incriminate himself.

‘Be at That Hearing’

“Boys, if you want to have some fun, just be at that hearing this afternoon, I'll tell plenty about Coy,” Cancilla told newspapermen earlier at the jail. “I'm not going to let them question me. I'm going to argue with them.” Cancilla also told reporters that “Joel Baker lost his job unjustly and if he doesn’t get it back somebody's going to get hurt.” He also said he would “raise hell” about Prosecutor Spencer raiding his apar{ment and office. Prosecutor Spencer Hagemeier, chief deputy who has conducted the County's investigation, are to be in charge of State's case during the trials. Mr. Spencer said today that Joel Baker

and Cancilla will be tried together |

unless they request separate trials. Mr, Jacobs is to represent Cancilla and William Clay Bachelder is to represent Joel Baker, it was announced today.

Sheriff Ray today denied he had aproached Joe! Baker on the Indianapolis Police and Firemen’s Merit Bill.

mittee, Baker said that he “saw Sheriff Otto Ray and he had a bill which he said shouldn't pass.” “Here's what happened,” the Sheriff said today. “On Wednesday, not Saturday, as Baker testified, he approached me in the hall and asked, ‘What are you working on, Sheriff?’ I told him I was in the Legislature to promote the six American Legion bills which were up for consideration. “‘Aren’'t you interested in anything else?’ he inquired.

Four-Year Training to Be Required After July 1940.

A four-year course of training for elementary school teachers, which will not become effective fully until July 1940 has been approved by the State Board of Education.

will require that all beginning elementary teachers shall hold a degree in elementary education, board members said. Atfer July 1940 elementary teaching licenses will be issued only to persons who have completed a designated four-year curriculum. All students enrolling for training after Nov. 1, 1937, will be required to complete the four-year course. This makes it possible, Board members said, for students now in the senior year in high school to obtain an elementary license on the basis of two years of training.

Not Retroactive

the board after a two-year study, is to serve as a pattern for training institutions, officials said. The Board is expected later to accredit institutions for the preparation of

plan. Floyd I. McMurray, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, explained that the new plan “is in no sense retroactive and does not in any way disturb or invalidate any license held by a teacher.” He said the plan does not prevent any college student now in training from securing and using the certificate he has been promised. “The State of Indiana is now

teachers. This move teaching profession in

move fears that any future Admin- |

istration would enlarge the Court. It also would inject new blood into the Court, relieve the present psychological situation due to long dif- | ferences of opinion among the justices and provide enough justices to read all of the applications submitted to the Court.” Senator Andrews, still uncommitted on the Court plan, advanced an omnibus proposal for a constitutional

amendment either supplementary to | | the Roosevelt proposals or as a com- |
