LANCE NOT ELIGIBLE
 AS (. OF (. DIRECTOR
Police Commissioner Named for Post, Not Member
 of Chamber

One man nominated for director of the Chamber of Commerce, and who might have been a candidate for cleo ton on the board of directors. will be disqualified by the bylaws of the organization. according 10 informa- tion learned by a Herald representa- : tive today
 Police Commissioner William F. Lange. foreman at the Corbi1 Screw corporation. who was nominated to represent the 'at large" group will not be entitled to the privilege of election because of an amendment re- gently passed by the members making 1t necessary for directors to be mem- bers of the chamber. Mir. Lange, 1t is learned. is not a member.
 According to the old bylaws. and the only ones now in print. Mir. Lange would be permitted to be a candidate as these bylaws say nothing whatever concerning the necessity for directors to be members.
 No mention Is made anywhere in the printed bylaws requiring the directors to be members. However, in the last set of amendments adopt ed at a general meeting of the cham Der. the following amendment was passed. and is adopted as an amend ment to article 3 and is known as section [. This amendment has not yet been printed: "The board of directors shall consist of 21 members, one of whom shall be elected annu- ally from. each Of the following groups: Manufacture, retail trade, professional. insurance and financial interests and three directors elected annually from the group known as at large, each director to serve for term of three years"
 Since the lat large" group. which includes Mir. Lange, has five names, instead of three, new nomination is not necessary. The candidates for election at the annual meeting and banquet. November S. are as follows:
 Manufacturers-J. B. Minor, A. r. Corbin and Maurice Stanley.
 Retail trade-Fred o. Rackliffe, Dave Manning and William H. Cro- we'll
 At large-Peter Perokas, William F. Lange (disqualified), Isaac Black, William F. Rattenbury and k. o. Clark.
 Professional-Dr F. P. Lee. Dr. J. w. Bush and M. J. Unkelbach.
 Real estate, insurance and finance w. L. Hatch Frank Holmes and Frank Shields.
