Revolt Rips Threugh PTA Over U. S. Aid
Local Units Want More Say-So

By DAVID WATSON Friction was bustin’ out all over today as the 40th state convention of the Parent: Teachers Association opened) here, Many local PTA units, irked by the state board's stand favoring federal aid to education, demanded a larger say-so in determining policy. The insurgents are attempting
to revise state PTA by-laws; bringing more voting power back to the local units, As the 1000 delegates registered this morning, “scouts” from the opposing camps tried to learn opposition strategy.
Fears Roadblocks
Leaders of the anti-federal ald group today feared their moves would be blocked by the small amount of time allowed for new proposals during the two-day session.

Some T000 troops will participate. The AEC warmed up for the big show yesterday by firing a device that sent the brightest fireball yet seen in the tests here soaring upward from the desolate desert firing range. The device — a term the AEC prefers in place of “weapon” or “bomb” — was dropped from an Air Force bomber flying in from Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. The detonation appeared to observers 45 miles away like a huge, red fireball. It stood for an instant on the horizon and then split in two. The television association said the seven Los Angeles stations would co-operate in televising the blast, relaying the pictures to Los Angeles and making them available to all networks for nationwide transmission. Equipment to relay the telecast
has been dropped from helicop-|
ters on strategic mountain peaks between the test site and Los Angeles, beginning with Mt Charleston. The telecast will be shown simultaneously on all Los Angeles stations.

Jearn what they are. Smoldering under the surface was the long-time rivalry of Wilbur Young, state dent of public instruction, and Robert Wyatt, executive secretary of the Indiana Teachers Association.
Favor U. 8. Aid i
Mr, Young has lined up with the insurgent group. Mr. Wyatt's organization of 35,000 members already has come out in favor of federal aid to education — the same stand taken by the state and national PTA boards. However, there is even a revolt brewing within the teacher association ranks on the federal aid issue. Mr. Young, who has the solid backing of the powerful Township Trustees Association, lauded the opposition movement in a biistering, partisan statement. The Republican state sald: : “The Washington socialistic schemers will next want to regiment our thinking. If they have their way, the next generation will be slaves fit only to be cannon fodder.
‘Unthinkable’
“It is unthinkable any sane and informed Hoosier would agree to surrender the Indiana public school system to the domination of Washington.” Meanwhile, the state board of managers of the PTA decided federal aid is not to become a convention issue unless raised by motions from the floor by the op-| position. | A definite issue up this after-| noon will be conflicting propos-| als for amending the by-laws with regard to state policy decisions. > Crux of the dispute is the opposition’s desire to have legisiation approved by the majority of all local units in the state before| being adopted for support by the state ofganization.

And P. H. Chin, 37, identified both, according to detectives, as the bandits who Mar, ‘13 robbed his Chinese Palace restaurant,
Both Marshall and Blanton are charged specifically with that holdup. But detectives sought to link them with 25 recent Indianapolis robberies. And they quizzed them for hours early today about the Feb, 5 holdup-siaying of Thomas Lynch, attendant in a downtown Gasteria filling station. But Marshall and Blanton weren't talking about anything. It was: for a Gasteria hdldup at 34th St.- and Central Ave, that they were sentenced Jan. 30, 1946, to 10 to 25 years in the State Prison at Michigan City.
Kept Close Watch Police have been swinging their squad cars through driveways of North and East Side filling sta-
