The Rev. Dr. John Haynes Holmes

had shown that he could not safely be
entrusted to talk 10 young people, IL

Superintendent OF Schools, yesterday at
a meeting of the Board of Education.
At the same time Mr.. Ettinger read a
letter he has written to Nathan SeId-
man, director Of the Brooklyn Forum,
explaining the dsbarment OF DR..
Holmes The letter and the action taken
in regard TO the preacher were unani-
mously concurred in.
Mr.. Ettinger's letter to Director Seid-
man said that DR.. Holiness beliefs might
politely be called those OF "philo-
sophical anarchist" In the minds OF
American children. Mr.. Ettinger added.

iature that he would disapprove the
measure abolishing the office of City
Chamberlain. The bin was introduced
ut the instance OF Comptroller Charles
L. Craig. as was the similar bill passed
and disapproved by the Mayor last year,
and marks another chapter in the long
feud between the Comptroller and
Chamberlain Philip Berolzheimer, APP

In disappearing the measure the
Mayor ignored protest from Comptrol-
ler Craig charging that Chamberlain
Berolzheimer through favoritism and
arbitrary action" depleted the reserves
OF banks from which the city borrowed
IN order to fatten the reserves OF the
Chase National Bank. The Chamber
lain's zeal in that respect went so far,
the Comptroller said, that he frequently
exceeded the legal limit OF deposits
once by more than $4,000. .00O-and so
giutted that institution with sinking
fund deposits that deposits for running
expenses were impossible. resulting in
make overdrafts to the extent Of more
than $40. 100000 until the situation could
be adjusted.
Mayor Hylan also disapproved the
bill increasing his own salary and that
of the Comptroller from $4,000 70 $780,
600 and the pay of the President OF the
Board of Aldermen from $500 to S10,-
600. That action was taken u indicate
that the Mayor probably Will veto also
the bill raising the pay OF the Board Of
Elections, though he took that measure
under advisement without comment.
He reserved decision on the bill 10
create detective division n 700 men
in the Police Department which would
Iegislate irto permanent jobs all NOM
