By DANIEL M. KIDNEY

Times Staft Writer WASHINGTQN, Nov. 15.— Swearing in of Senator William E. Jenner turned out to be quite a - holiday for Hoosier Republicans. After the ceremony, Senator Raymond E. Willis gave a lunch= . eon and there was great jubilation ‘over “Indiana now being the most Republican state in the union,” No animosity toward Democrats was shown, however, provided they. also were from the Hoosier state. This “unity” previously had been dramatized on the senate floor when Senator Willis, in pre~ senting His new Republican colleague for. induction, smashed precedent by paying high tribute to the departing Democrat, Sena~ tor Samuel D. Jackson, 2 88.» “I SHOULD LIKE,” Senator Willis stated, “to pay tribute to Senator Jackson for the strong impression he has made on this body during his short interim appointment here. “He has shown a fine spirit of patriotism and gained renown as a fair presiding officer. “It was for the latter that he was selected to be chairman of the Democratic national] convention, where he also made a splendid record. We are sorry to lose his services here.” n . »

IN PRESENTING the 36-year-old short term Senator Jenner, the senior Republican from Indiana pointed out that he will be the youngest man on the floor. Senator Willis told of Mr. Jenner's service and work as state senator and majority leader. Then followed another smashing of precedent by the Hoosiers.

NEW HARRISON SCHOOL ASKED

Site

Board May Move From Delaware and Walnut Sts. .

The school board last night recommended the post-war construction of a new public school to replace the 70-year-old Benjamin Harrison school No. 2, Delaware and Walnut sts. The building committee, headed by Roscoe Conkle, will evaluate and report as to possible acquisition of “needed” additional ground at the present site, or to secure a new site which would be more adequate in size, more centrally located in the school district and less hazardous of access. The, school has a present enrollment of about 615 pupils but the proposed new building would accommodate 650. It was estimated that the annual turnover of pupils has averaged approximately 45 per cent, inasmuch as a high per cent of the pupils live in nearby hotels and apartments.

Building in Good Repair

“Although the building is in good repair, it cannot be considered acceptable for modern school purposes, practices and safety,” Mr. Conkle said.

a total cost of $143,530, the first ground was purchased in 1869 and additional ground was added in 1907. The appointment of six teachers who were approved last night, are John B. Williams, Washington high school; Mabel Lee Hazel, Crispus Attucks; Virgie Mae Dunville, school No. 56; Ruth Steckley, school No. 20; Irene E. Cory, and Gertrude W. Pruett. Miss Marian McFadden, acting librarian, has announced four appointments to public library staffs.

and Mrs. Marguerite Vance, junior assistants, and Miss Lyndell Martling and Mrs. Evelyn Carpenter Rosenbaum, senior assistants. Mrs. Rose Kane, junior assistant at the Brightwood branch, has resigned. The resignation of Miss Ruby Lee, principal of public school No. 28, has been announced by Virgil Stinebaugh, superintendent of schools, effective Nov, 2.

For retiring Senator Jackson, who lost his race for the governorship, arose to pay tribute to both the Republicans as “coming from my Hoosler heart.” : “lI want to re-emphasize that members of both parties admire Capt. Jenner,” he concluded. - » » LATER HE stopped to explain to the Willis luncheon that some of his Democratic colleagues had arranged a farewell luncheon for him and so he could not remain, ® but wished them all the best of luck as fellow Indianians. The 81-year-old former Senator James E. Watson was among the luncheon guests, Senator Willis pointed out that it was being held in what once was called the “Watson Room,” one of the private dining rooms of the senate restaurant.

THEN SENATOR JENNER recalled that it was 14 years since he had made his first and last trip to Washington. And on that day Senator Watson, as Republican leader, had supervised the passage of the Smoot-Hawley tariff act. This led to some Watson reminiscence which brought much

laughter from the luficheon guests. Besides the two Republican

senators, their wives, and former Senator Watson, the diners included Mrs. Josie Ellingwood, Reps. LaFollette, Wilson, Springer and Johnson and Mrs. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene J.

Instead, he confessed, he was just bumming around the neighborhood, helping a troop of Boy Scouts look for himself, His parents believed his story of being locked in a trunk by a 12-year-old playmate. They believed he stayed there for a week until a neighbor heard his cries and let him out. The neighbors believed him, and brought the poor little tyke presents to show their sympathy, ™

Trunk Waterproof

But pofice discovered that the foot-wide trailer trunk where David was found was almost air tight, Also it was waterproof and wouldn't have permitted rain to trickle in to keep David alive, as he had said. Police criticized David's marine father, who is awaiting an operation for shrapnel injuries he received at Tarawa, and David's mother for their gullibility. They said David had dwindled away to half his normal weight in a week without food.

War Plant Noise Viewed as Hazard

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 15 (U. P)). ~Noise can become an industrial hazard “sufficiently fatiguing, annoying and distressing” to contribute to a high rate of absenteeism in war plants, the ninth annual meeting of the Industrial Hyglens Foundation Ya) told today. Dr. Hallowell Davis, of Harvard medical school, told executives from most of the foundation's 270 member firms that they must consider the question of protecting workers against noise as well as against other industrial hazards, Dr. Davis told of one instance where absenteeism among one group of workers provided with effective ear plugs “dropped so abruptly that it drew surprised and spontaneous favorable comment from those charged with the responsibilities of production.”

Instead, police said, the. boy had probably lost five of his 70 pounds. When David decided to talk last night he abandoned the listless, sad-eyed, persecuted role he had assumed while reciting his story of a week locked in the trunk compartment of an abandoned trailer in the camp where his mother lived with two other children. He laughed and laughed and laughed.

Decided to Run Away

He had decided to run away to keep from being sent to a school at El Monte, he said, and figure out some scheme for spending more time listening to his wounded father tell stories about the marines in the Pacific. He, had “bummed around,” he said, right under the noses of the navy patrols, police and boy scouts who were scouring the countryside for him while his parents feared that he had been kidnaped or perhaps killed. | He laughed some more when he told of joining a bunch of boys searching for him in a rain-filled slough, :
