: New York, Jan. 24-Twenty-four
 teachers in Public School 62, Hester and Essex streets, were questioned at the school yesterday concerning their views on the war and pacifism by a committee of educational officials con- slsting of Associate Superintendent William l.. Ettinger, District Super 1ntendent Cecil 4. Kidd, William Grady, assistant to Associate Super intendent John l.. Tildsley, and Rob- ert B. Brodie, principal of the school 4 stenographer made a note of tho queries and answers of the teachers Some of the instructors, when they asked whether their answers were to serve as basis for charges against them, were told that no charges were being contemplated. Principal Brodie declined to state the purpose of the investigation.
 At the Teachers Union, 70 Fifth avenue, 1t was said that the investica- tion was a fishing expedition" to ob- tain evidence to support the charge made by District Superintendent Kidd against Philip Peristein, a teacher in the school, whom he caused to b. suspended two weeks ago pendin@ trial on charges. No charges have ycs been served on Peristein. Members. of the Teachers Union said that Peristein was honorabIy discharged from the army after being drafted
 MT. Kidd said that he happened to be in the school when the investigation was being conducted' and listened while one or two of the teachers were questioned. He said he took no part in hn part in the inquiry. Dr. Straubenmu1- Ter, Acting City Superintendent, and MT. Ettinger could not be reached last night.
 John Lind, teacher of Latin in the Boys High School, Brooklyn, said yes terday that he had been questioned three times at the Board of Education twice by the last High School Com mittee when he refused to answer any questions, and once by the Board of Superintendents who advised him to answer. &
 According to MT Lind, he was asked: Did you claim exemption?" and he replied in the affirm ative. He refused to answer when asked on what grounds he claimed exemption in the draft and, according to his story, Dr. Gustave Straubenmuller, Acting City Superintendent of Schools ordered him to answer under penalty of being dis missed for insubordination.
 "I told them then that I claimed exemption on conscientious grounds" said Lind. That was all they wanted. I come tip for permanent license on Feb. 1, and I believe the board will refuse to grant me a permanent li- cense."
 Superintendent Strauben1nu1ler yes- terday did not send to Miss Mary S. Mcdowell, teacher of Latin in the Manual Training High School and a member of the Society of Friends, a notice of her suspension for holding pacifist views. He said, however, he would send her the letter at once.

GOETHALS SELECTED
 ID BUY CLOTHING
Will Have Sole Charge of Pur-
 chase for Army

Washington, Jan. 24.-Secretary of ar Baker has put Major General Goethals, acting quartermaster gener- al, in charge of all clothing contracts TOT the army. He will work in this matter without the intervention of the Board of Control for Labor Stand ards in Army Clothing and the com- mlttee on supplies of the Council of Defense.
 The former body is dissolved, Sec retary Baker announcing that the primary purpose for which the board had been created has been attained.
 The function of the board was to sec that labor standards were main ta1ned and to prevent sweatshop work on army uniforms. Contracts have contained a clause requiring ad- herence by the manufacturer to a standard of labor conditions which had been approved by the board. That clause will be omitted from fu- ture contracts
 At the same time, MT. Baker stated that it is part Of the general plan for the quarterrnastcr's departm ent to absorb all the functions of the committee on supplies headed by Julius RosenWald of Chicago.
 u was llle COIlltHltCeS WHICH TOuSeC SO much criticism when the uniform situation was investigated by the Senate Military committee.
 The dissolution of the Labor Stand ards Board marks the end of long controversy that has. been waged against that body since it's forma- ton. It is felt, however, that this does not mean a victory for those whose opposition was based on selfish reasons, and that the manufacturers who had been giving contracts tc East Side sweat shop workers before the creation of the board will expert ence as much difficulty under the new system as they did under the old.

 were relatively inactive, speculative issues being most in demand. Except for a~ l point advance in Mexican Petroleum and decline of as much in Tobacco Products, changes were limited to fractions. The trend be- came heavy before the end of the first hour. Liberty bonds eased slightly.
 Stocks continued their irregular course throughout the morning with pronounced pressure against ship pings and numerous specialties, in cluding tobaccos, motors, oils and minor war issues. U. s. Steel ral- lied point from S9 1-2 but fell back again later. Rails were uncertain for 9 time but became heavy on fairly free offerings of Union Pa cific, Reading, Pennsylvania and few other leaders, which yielded large fractions to a point. Trading became almost motionless at noon. Liberty 3 1-2's sold at 98.2o to 9S.12, first As at 97.10 to 9690 and second 4's at 96.30 to 96.1S
 Moderate support of such leaders as the steels and shippings caused a hardening of prices in the afternoon. Pools continued their active opera tons in low grade specialties, notably the fertilizers and minor equipments, but rails remained heavy.
 Close-Active issues were at best prices of the day in the rally of the final hour. The closing was firm. Liberty 1-2's at 98 and first As at 96.70 made new minimums, the second As ranging from 963O to 96.12.
 Sales approximated 35O,0O0 shares.

well calculated to follow
PaxtanE the musical comedies the
Park park audiences have been
Theater accustomed to for the past
five weeks. Every act on
the bill is a strong card and the show
kept the park audience either ap-
plauding or laughing from the time
the curtain went up on Provost and
Goulet, in their clever knockabout ac-
robatic comedy. until the finale cur
tain fell on Perrilli's Circus, with his
wonderfully trained dogs. The fea-
ture of the park bill is the Lit
tie Chip Trio, who are billed as
Americas foremost Juveniles" and
this is broad claim. but il may be
said that The Little Chip Trio is one
of the best Juvenile acts on the boards
this season. Their limitations. songs
and comedy dialog are we'll handled
In fact, their work is on a par with
any of the older performers doing acts
similar to theirs. and the headline po-
sition on the park bill rightfully be-
longs to them. other acts on the park
bill worthy of special mention, are
