WASHINGTON, June o.-It would be
manifestly improper for State highway
commissions TO sell road building ma
terial turned over to them by the Federal
Government, Secretary Of War Weeks
said today.
When his attention was called to re-
ports that the Indiana commission had
sold some material received from the
Government Weeks said he would take
the matter up with the Department OF
Agriculture, which has been distributing g
the surplus road building material.
What action would be taken If the in
vestigation revealed sales by the State
agency was not revealed.
Surplus war material delivered to the
Indiana commission cannot be sold as
long as it is in serviceable condition. the
Public Roads Bureau of the Department
Of Agriculture stated.
The law under which the transfer OF
surplus war material from the Federal
Government to the State highway COM
mission is made forbids that. An agree,
ment entered into between the Federal
Public Roads Bureau officials explained
The only conditions under which the
highway commission could sell these
surplus war goods would be that they are
worn out. After this material from the
Federal Government Is worn out In use
on the roads it can be disposed of as
Junk, the Public Roads Bureau said.
The sale should be public one, how
ever. and the disposition of material by
private sale is contrary to the agree
ment with the Federal Government.

tempting to take from +. [. Graf, su-
permit andent OF schools, the power to ap-
point teachers and administrative Off
Gals which is conferred on him by law,
and placing this power in the hands OF
the majority faction, were made openly
at a meeting of the instruction comm.-
tee today. The meeting was attended
by every board member and was to all
intents a meeting of the board itself.
Before the meeting ended every board
member with the sole exception OF Bert
s. Gadd had been accused by some one
either of misstadng a fact or telling a
deliberate lie.
FORTY CITIZENS
ATTEND SESSION.
All in all. the meeting. which was at
tended by about forty citizens, who came
TO protest against the action of the
board in abolishing the offices of fifteen
. admi.e strative officials and employees,
taken at the meeting Tuesday, was the
most highly entertaining of the year.
The first nomination to the Ananias
Club was made by Brandt Downey, who
said that Charles l. Barry, president OF
the board, had not told the truth at the
Tuesday meeting, when he said the rec
ommendation for the abolition of the Of
fees Of the unlucky fifteen had been
unanimous on the part Of the instruc-
ton committee Mr.. Downey insisted
one member of the committee had not
agreed to all the recommendations.
The next name to lie presented for
membership was that of W. d Allison

recommendation of the instruction COM
mittee. despite previous statements of
Mr. Allison that he had objected to GER
tain parts of them. Mr.. Allison imme-
diately came back by saying, IN polite
language. Emhardt was not telling the
truth In giving his version of the affair
he drew the fire of DR.. Marie Haslep,
who said Mr. AlIisor's memory was sadly
at fault, 10 say the least. Not to be
outdone in courtesy, Mr.. Allison made
the same charge against DR.. Haslep, and
a most ENJOYABLE time was had hyial.
ABROGATION CHARGE
MADE By FULTON.
The charge that the board is attempt
ing to strip Superintendent Graft of his
legal powers was made by Robert \.
Fulton attorney. He said there is a gen.
eral impression all over Indianapolis this
is being done.
President Barry made a great show of
righteous indignation over this and In
sisted the names of the persons starting

! cutburst of laughter throughout the room.
Brandt Downey, for one, frankly said. he
for one had exactly that idea of the
whole situation.
