TEAPOT DOME TRIO
 . INDICTED ONCE MORE
Fall, Doheny and Sinclair Held by District of
 Columbia Grand Jury

Washington, May 27,-(AP)-AI- bert B, Fall, Edward l.. Doheny and Harry F. Sinclair whose indictments as a result of the oil scandal recent ly were dismissed on a technicality. were reindicted today by District of Columbia grand Jury.
 AS in the previous case the in dictments charged conspiracy in connection with the Teapot Dome and Elk Hill oil leases. Edward l.. Doheny who previously had been indicted also was not reindicted.
 The original indictments, return ed here last summer, were thrown out of court on April last, on the ground that the indictment officer of the department Of justice had been present in the grand Jury room, and that his presence was H. legal because prosecution Of the case was in the hands of tEe gov ernment's special oil counsel.
 With the assembling of a new jury many Of the witnesses who had appeared in the first instance were recalled, and much Of the docu- mentary evidence gathered in the senate oil inquiry likewise was re- submitted.
 In the main the indictments re- turned today follow up the charges of those dismissed last month, but in some respects changes were made.

Radical Upward Re- vision of Schedules Will Be Presented at School Board Meeting In June.
Equality of Pay for Male and Female Instructors in Senior High School Included in Request.

A demand that a radical change be made in the salary schedules of New Britain school teachers proyjd. ing for the establishment of new and materially higher minimum and maximum salaries for teachers in elementary ard junior and senior high schools, will be made by the conference committee of the New Britain Teachers council at the next meeting of the New Britain school board on June 12. This step was adopted at meeting of the council last night, at which meeting the conference committee was given full power to go ahead with the pres- entation of the demand.
 The committee also will ask that in the senior high school women teachers be given identically the same pay for the same position as men teachers. This, if granted. will mark a radical departure from GUS tom. The council represents every teacher in New Britain, the increase AAA o"AaA 4CD pAoPOoCd d4LGSliub lltUIG than 40 teachers.
 The conference committee of the council has already examined pay rolls in Bridgeport, Waterbury and several other Connecticut cities, and pointed out last night that New Brit ain teachers are mparatiYely the poorest paid in the state. at least the poorest paid of the cities whose records were looked up.
 It was also pointed out last night that teachers in New Britain have not had an increase in salary grant ed since 1920, when the present rates were established. At present, the minimum salary for a beginning teacher in the elementary school is 1 $950, wtff the maximum $1S5O. In the junior high schools, the mini. mum is s1100 and the maximum s1950. In the senior high school th' figures are $1200 minimum and S2050 maximum.
 The conference committee will dc mand that every one of these figures be materially increased.
 There was much comment this morning on the action taken by the council last night, and teachers seemed to think that in spite of the increase necessitated in the school budget, the people of New Britain will realize that the increase is some thing which they are duty-bound to see through, Members of the coun- cil at last nights meeting were also of this frame of mind, and 1t was with this feeling as to the outcome of the demand that the conference committee was empowered 10 pre- sent the resolution for the increase to the school committee at it's next meeting.

Drastic Punishment De- cided On As Result of Probe Into Testi- mony By Liebler, Ma Iona and Feeney.
Discipline Committee Re- ports, Explaining That Officers Said They Thought They Were Following Orders.

Immediate dismissal from the police department will be the pun ishment meted out to any officer or member against whom a charge of giving false testimony on the wit ness stand is proven, according to the report of the discipline com mittee of the board of police com missloners adopted at a special meeting last night. The report was on the hearing given to Policeman John Liebler. Walter MaIona and Thomas J. Feeney last week. in which the policemen were called upon to explain testimony given by them at the trial of Gerald Chap man for the murder of PatroIman James Skelly last October.
 Case Closed Locally
 The case Of the three policemen. as far as the board of police com missioners is concerned, is closed matter as a result of the adoption of the report. The committee ex- pressed the opinion that the fact that the three men were called upon to appear before the discipline com- mittee and admit their misstate- ments was in itself reprimand, and 1t felt that no further punishment should be exacted by the board
 Whether a copy of the report Of Nfx1 fr- d States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn Is up to the states attorney, Chairman David L. Dunn Of the board said after the meeting. In the last com munication to Chairman Dunn, the states attorney said that he did not request copy of the report but de- sired that the board forward a stenographic copy Of the testimony given at the hearing. Such copy does not exist and the board has not been informed by the states at- torney whether he desires copy of the report. "If he wants one he can certainly have it," Chairman Dunn said.
