 Just one comter-movo to the "rcscu" committee" headed by Sllas StraWn, was under way. II. Wallace Caldwell. president of the school board and an appointec of Mayor William Hale Thompson, ad- Vanccd a plan 10 oust the StraWn committee with one made up of tour public officials himself in cindod. and the same number of citizens 'to supervise expenditure ot the StraWn committee"
 Caldwell nominated James Simp- son. head of Marshall. Field X. Co. as chairman. Simpson, already a member of the StraWn committee. refused to comment.
 Caldwell gave as his reason for tH" 'ouster' committee, that public officials never will cooperate with the StraWn committee"
 However, the county and drainage officials have pledged cooperation with tha StraWn group and the council. through one Of it's spokes- mon. indicated its cooperation.
 After battle Of statements over th" weekend, in which the "rcecuo committees announced that cash 10 relieve the most pressing financial needs is available under certain ctrcnlnStahccs, Alderman John fIHrk chairman of the council finance committee. said he believed h" council would pledge the CO., operation and economy that the committee demands before opening the mon"yba2s.

 The utimatum brought a broad side from Mayor Thompson and his friends. Alderman Oscar Nelson Thompson's tloorlcadcr in the coun- cil. bristled at the demand and said:
 Elected officials cannot submit tc the dictates of outsiders in the con. duct of governmental business"
