M'ANDREW TRIAL
 N07 TOO SERIOUS
Country Both Interested and
 Amused in Book War"

Chicago. United States of America. Nov. 3 NUP)-This is an account of a session of the trial by the board of education Of William McAndrew, suspended superintendent of schools. charged with insubordination, in competence and unpatriotic acts T. is to the normal Chicago trial what a Buster heatou movie is to a Cecil De Mile society feature-proof that the great American public can be interested in something with no SIX appeal, if it's funny enough.
 The explanation of the object of the article is given because at times it may sound like a report of a meeting of the senate immigration committee; or the house naval com mittee; or the ladies literary and poetry society.
 The trial sessions are held in the Cation-a cross between an ordinary court room and legislative cham Der. J. Lewis Coath, dignified presi- dent of the board, occupies the bench with judicial boise and eff fective gayel Before him is a desk for stenographers. Then, facing the bench, rows of senate-like desks for board members, also occupied by Attorneys Righeimer and Sullivan for the prosecution: Burke and Shannon for the defense; and Me Andrew himself, genial, puffy checked. full bearded man with a hint of Santa Claus. but no touch of the foreign spy of fiction about him.
 There is, of course (this is Chica- go) a press table and a school board publicity man to make reporters comfortable. And behind a rail, are seats for some 200 spectators, damned with schoo! teachers, par ents, civic leaders and a few of those people whose business in life is to attend trials.
 Franklin Schrader of New York, editor of the Progressive. former editor of the Fatherland. former secretary of the republican con- gressional campaign committee, was the chief witness at yesterdays ses- sion.
 Gray haired, dignified, faintly Germanic and strongly senatorial, Schra der discoursed for an hour and a half of Longfellow' poetry, the injustice of the present immigration law, the need for a bigger navy and the extent of British propaganda in this country in 1900, during the World War, and at the present time.
 T believe" the witness informed the court at the end of that time, that I have about exhausted my subject"
 If children, particualrly children of foreignborn parents, don't have heroes, they won't grow up into pa triots, Schrader explained. Histories which reflect upon the heroes of America therefore destroy patriot ism. he pointed out. And rarticu- larly, he hastened to emphasize,

 Whoever controls pubic schools and builds up ideas not absolutely loyal" he said, has a powerful weapon to destroy the nation. And voice acquired a de- cidcd suggestion of sob-'not othing is more effective toward that end than 10 undermine the love of little children for someone who stands out to them as a being of heroic pro- portions.'

WASHINGTON - Henry Ford is
known as strong Coolidge man.
He has said frequently that he thinks
Mr. Coolidge is a good president,
and it has been assumed that he
would like 20 see him reelected
in 1928.
Yet, by a strange trick of fate,
Henry Ford is going to be very
instrumental in putting the, name of
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri
very prominently before the country
Reed is nursing husky presidential
boom of his own and, apparently,
has a good chance of capturing the
democratic nomination.; unwittingly'
perhaps, Ford is about to boost
his cause tremendously.
Ford has been sued for million
dollars libel by Aaron Sapiro; and
has retained Reed to defend him
when the suit comes to trial. And
anyone who thinks that the nation
wide publicity Reed will receive
during this trial won't help his
presidential candidacy can think
again.
Reed will be the central figure
in the trial He is bound to cut
such a courtroom figure as to over
shadow even his Millionaire client.
For days he will be on the first
pages of every newspaper in the
country.
The issueg themselves are sensa-
tional, for Ford is accused of charg-

Whatever the outcome, this trial
will serve to keep Reed in the pubic
eve for a good part of the period
between the end of the expiring
congress and the opening Of the
10th There is nothing more pleasing
to a budding presidential candidate
than this privilege.
And Reed is such a brilliant GRIM

a worthy spectacle as we'll as an
excellent opportunity for him to dis
