DR.. FINEGAN'S OPPORTUNITY

THE credentials of Dr.. Thomas F. Fine
= gan for the post of state superintend-
ent of schools, to which Governor Sproul
has just appointed him, are apparently
excellent. That he is an importa ton
from neighboring state, being a New
Yorker, as was Doctor Schaeffer, should
be held as matter Of much less conse-
quence than the question of his fitness
for his new role
That is really all that broad-minded
Pennsylvanians should care about What
this commonwealth wants is well-con-
Quoted schools, conforming to the best
ideals of modern education and uncon-
taminated with futile frils and expert
mental faddishness.
improvements in the curriculum should
be accompanied by the enforcement of
increased standards in the teaching
stats. Pennsylvania schools have long
had good record, but in recent years
they have by no means set the highest
pace in American education.
Generous legislative appropriations
are incontestab,y helpful, but they are
not panacea. Sound administration.
capable consideration of the assets and
equipment at hand are also eXigent
Doctor Finegan's policies will be
watched with interest. He has the good
wishes and the hopeful expectations of
the public in his new field

Fear of sweltering in the Council
Bluffs auditorium kept the fans
away last night and only about two
dozen were present at halt past
eight, the hour billed for the open

promoter Al called the entire show
off rather than let the men go on
for the little they could get out of
such a small house.
Both the main event contestants
were on hand and ready to go on
had Fiori decided to put the show
on, but he figured to lose as well
be able to pay the wrestlers but
small part of the money they
could expect, so he decided to
stand the loss of the advertising
and the cost of the rental, etc.
rather than have the men perform
before so small a crowd.

put a star wrestling, carnival on in

main event, Everett Miller and Jess

HEATED REMARKS
EXCHANGED OVER
kN0XRESOLUTI0N
Its Adoption Would Be Inter-
preted as UncaIIed-For Effort
to Dictate to Peace Confer
ence, Thomas Says.

Washington; June lo-Adoption
of the Knox resolution regarding
the league of nations and the peace
treaty would be interpreted as an
uncalled for effort by the senate to
dictate to the peace conference,
Senator Thomas, democrat, Colora-
do, said today in opposing the meas
ure. The Colorado senator declared
the proposal that the senate de-
clare itself now against accepting
the leage as INTERVIEWED with the
peace terms was improper and I'M
wise.
Senator Thomas declared the
Knox resolution raised fundamental
questions regarding the power of
the senate in treaty making and also
Of expediency of an expression ty
the senate.
No Opportunity to Sign.
Replying to Senator Knox's
charges that the democrats had
made the league partisan issue,
Senator Thomas cited the round
robin of the-last session against the
league, ION which the name of the
republican leader led all the rest"
Democratic senator's, Mr.. Thomas
said, were given no opportunity to
sign the document.
1.-THE republicans" he continued,
shave reorganized this senate. They
have thoroughly reorganized the
committee on foreign relations. l.
is an open secret that no new sena-
tors except enemies of the league of
nations were eligible to membership
on that committed" 4 IS.
Senator Pomerene, Ohio, demo-
cratic member of the committee, III
terrupted to remark that the repub-
licans also were mot satisfied until
they had given themselves MAORI
ty of three on the committee and
Senator Williams, democrat, of Mis-
sissippi challenged any republican
senator to deny that the committee
had been stacked against the
league"
y The challenge started partisan
debate so heated that Vice Presi-
dent Marshall repeatedly admon-
ished senator's against breaking the
rules. Senator Moses Of New Hamp-
shire, a new republican member of
the COMMITTEE, said his selection to
membership had been stacked
against the president only in the.
sense that he is democrat and l
am a republican"
NO." shouted Senator Williams,
you have stacked it against the
hope of world peace as well as
against a democratic president. You
have left on it only one republican.
favoring the league, Mr.. Nc umber,
of North Dakota, and the reason
you left him was because you did
not dare take him off.
Senator Mccormick, republican,
Illinois, declared it might also be
said that "the peace commission to
Paris was stacked. with democrats
ready to bow to@the will of the chief
executive" ---..-.--
Senator Williams replied that the
Paris conference at least had done
its work while the republican sem
ators through the Knox resolution
we're asking for time to think when,
if you had any capacity to think at
all world have thought long ago"
