BEGIN EXAMINATIONS

Mr. Morton

: AS INDIANAPOLIS

FOR FLYING CADETS

An Army Aviation Cadet Examining Board began examination today of 60 applicants for Flying Cadet training. The Board, headed by Maj. Joseph F. Moore, will be in Indianapolis for three days with offices on the fourth floor of the Federal Building. More than 60 candidates are in the refresher course conducted under sponsorship of the Chamber of Commerce. The Board made a special trip to Indianapolis for the examinations.

NEW YORK, July 24 (U. P).— | Four show girls were shocked today by the news that the late William Guggenheim, who, in his old age, had taken a keen interest in the careers of young women of the stage, left an” estate of approximately $8000. The news reduced their prospects from $250,000 each to $2000 each, an overnight diminution of such staggering proportion that they could only express disbelief. Indeed, the news was surprising even to Guggenheim’s business friends. A son of Meyer Guggenheim, founder of the Guggenheim copper fortune, he had shared his father’s many millions equally with his brothers, none of whom are $8000 men. Also he had lived in his own Riverside Drive mansion on a $50,000 a year scale. Nevertheless, his son, William Jr, and his attorneys insisted that his net estate was not likely to amount to more than $8000. The mansion, assessed at $85,000, had a $50,000

(power of appointment,

mortgage on it, and he had been so

NEW EDUCATION BOARD SET UP

Schricker Reappoints Five, ®

Names 3 New Members To State Board.

By EARL RICHERT Governor Schricker today revamped the State Board of Education in accordance with a new 1941 law. He reappointed five members of the old board and named three new ones. The new appointees, two of whom are laymen, take the place on the Board of Governor Schricker, Lieut.Gov. Charles Dawson and Warren Anderson, Gary high school teacher. The Governor and LieutenantGovernor were dropped from board membership by the new law. Mr. Anderson was dropped because the law provides for only one high school teacher member.

Cleo Blackburn Named

New appointees are Mrs. Doris Lackey, Gary; elementary school teacher, and Cleo W. Blackburn, Indianapolis, superintendent of Flanner House, both Democrats, and Othel B. Hancock, French Lick druggist, a Republican. Board members renamed are Dr. Ralph N. Tirey, Terre Haute, president of the Indiana State Teachers College; Dr. Daniel S. Robinson, Indianapolis. president of Butler University, and Miss Virginia Kinnaird, Ft. Wayne high school teacher, all Republicans, and Arthur Campbell, Anderson superintendent of schools, and Deane Walker, Culver, superintendent of Marshall County Schools, Democrats. Dr. Clement T. Malan, state superintendent of public instruction, will serve as chairman of the Board by virtue of his office and will have a full vote. G. 0. P. Has Edge

As Dr. Malan is a Republican, that will give the G. O. P. a onevote majority on the board. Governor Schricker named the new Board under provisions of a 1941 law which provided for the appointment of four members by the Democratic Governor and four members by Republican Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson. But since the Supreme Court decided in its recent “ripper” suit opinion that Mr. Dawson had no Governor Schricker made all eight appointments, The law specifies that the eight members shall be evenly divided between the two major political parties. Attorney General George Beamer last spring ruled the 1941 Board of Education law invalid, contending that it was an amendatory act to a 1913 law which had already been repealed. But since the Supreme Court declined to rule on this question in the recent “ripper” suit opinion, the Governor went ahead and acted under its provisions.

Showgirls Gasp as Legacies Dip From $250,000 to $2000

hard pressed for money, they said, that he rented out the top floor during the last few years of his life. | Mr. Guggenheim's wealth was] authoritatively estimated in 1901, when he retired from business, to have amounted to $5,000,000. Neither the son nor the lawyer would speculate on what had caused it to shrink so drastically, His will, in making no provision for his wife or his son, said he had made “ample provision for them during my lifetime.” ‘ “We can’t believe Mr. Guggenheim did not leave at least a million dollars,” said Milton J. Harrison, attorney for Mildred Borst, one of the beneficiaries. Miss Borst is the beneficiary who believes that Mr. Guggenheim took an interest in her career because the first time he saw her (backstage in a Broadway theater), she was reading the Literary Digest. The other girls are Lilyan Andrus, a former Miss America, who now lives in Hollywood, Mary Alice Rice, late of the Ziegfeld Follies, and Florence Sullivan,
