Await President Stamm's
Home Coming in April

No action on the selection of an archi-
tect for Harrisburg's new high school

ings.
suit as A. Carson Stamm, president of
the board, and chairman of the special
committee to select an architect, is in
California and may not return until
April 1.
The last action taken. was to give the
committee instructions to name Har-
risburg architect together with Mr..
Ittner. so that the board could select
one. Since then it is understood that
some of the directors who opposed MIR.
Ittner will vte for him, if they are
assured that the loan of S1,250,000 will
not be overdrawn.
Public sentiment has been aroused
in favor of the special committees
report. in which Mt. Ittner was recon-
mended. Directors of the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce at a conference
went on record favoring support OF
the special committee. and the Rotary
Club will act on the question.
But with President Stamm out of the
city, school officials to-day expressed
no hope for action before the first meet
ing of the board in April other mem
bers of the committee arer not expected
