All Indiana was caught in the grip
of a cold wave today which will send
the thermometer to zero or below to-
night. The mercury continued it's

The drop will continue steadily today.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES
REQUEST HEARING
Friends of Three Under Fire
Make CounterchargeS.

Members Of the board of school
commissioners whose designations
were asked in a report ofthe sub-com-
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
education committee Thursday, have
requested that they be permitted to
appear before the committee Monday
night, it became known today.
The three members, DR.. Marie Has
lep, Adolph Erlhardt and Bert S.
Gadd, made the request in a letter
to Felix T. McWhirter, president of
the chamber.
Charges that the report Of the sub
committee was part of plan to de-
lay Inauguration of school building
program were made by friends or the
board members today. They pointed
out that two of the three members
of the subcommittee, Fred A Sims
and Philip ZOercher, were active in
blocking the building program of the
former school board in 1921.

request Of Senator Robinson, Dem
ocrat, that Hughes be asked to ap-
pear before the committee next week
for questioning on the activities OF
Roland W. Boyden and his associates
on the American unofficial delegation
to the reparations commission.
These two developments mark g.,
definite change in the Administration
attitude as reflected in the Senate to-
ward men in either party who are at
tempting to force American action in
connection with the European stu
alton. Heretofore Administration
leaders have maintained a defensivei
attitude. Now they viii take the Of
fensive.
One reason, It was indicated today,
is that the Administration has begun
to feel the popular reaction caused by
Borah's demand for an economic con-
ference and desires to counteract it.
This reaction has caused Senators
Lodge and Watson to urge President
Harding repeatedly to make public
statement to the country telling why
il is impossible for this Government
to intervene in any way in Europe.
Mr.. Harding has declined to go
farther than to express his opinion in
POINTED fashion to the weekly confer
ence with Washington newspaper
