POLITICS IN SCHOOL

Session Recalls Controversy
With Mayor Thompson.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, March William
McAndrew, who was ousted as SUPER
intendent Of Chicago schools several
years ago after William Hale Thomp-
son, then mayor, charged text books
were pro-British, attacked political
domination of education" today before
a group session of the Department OF
Superintendent. National Education
Association.
McAndrew, fiery opponent Of the for
mer Chicago mayor, cut colorful patch
in the controversy that ragged after
Thompson asserted "King George
should be kicked out of the public
schools" In the course Of the contxo-
versy, Big Bill" also declared he would
bust King George on the snoot."
Rap at Legislators.
Before his address he told of pro-
posa. to convert Minnesota State
teachers colleges into institutions for
State wards and thereby diminish the
teacher output. His retort was:
"For the welfare of the people Of the
State, 1t would be best to put the legis-
lators in the insane asylums them
selves"
Mayor Thompson during that con-
troverSy down there in Chicago was
asked which King George he wanted
ousted from the schools" he said OF
the conflict several years ago.
King George III or George ""
Mayor Thompson's answer was What,
are there two of them?
In his address McAndrew urged free
dom of schools administrators and
characterized the parent-teacher Or
carnations as first aid to profess
sional, as against political, domination
of schools.
He took potshot at IL school super
intendents, who in volume just issued
declared parent-teacher organizations
were no more than "impediments."
Political interference with the i'm
provement Of the teaching force and
with wedding out of incompetents is a
sign of clumsy superintendent. The
duty of school trustees to provide the
community with full return for its
money in the way Of education IS 50

boards with whom I have had any
acquaintance that one wonders why we
continue to call them boards of educa-

THE economic situation undoubtedly

DR.. Strayer, urging savings through

FRIEND
HUNTEDFOR
GR|LL|NG
SchiIdhauer Killed in Gang
Fashion; Ex-Sheriff Detained;
Evidence Contradictory

CHICAGO, Jan. Q.N.S0.
"YOur husband was killed be-
cause some other man was in
love with yOu!Y
This statement of Police Capt
John Siege to pretty 24-year-old
widow today gave a sensational
turn to the probe of the execu-
ton of Edwin o. Schildhauer.
Second Friend Hunted
Search was pushed for Paul
Walton, described as a "close
friend of the family" Another
friend" Carl Bradberry, former
deputy sheriff, was detained for
further questioning.
The widow, Mrs. Frances
Schildhauer, meanwhile aggra-
vated detectives by what police
termed evasionS and contradic-
tions and by her fainting spells
at critical stages in the inquiry.
In what was one of the most
battling mysteries Of the tag end
of the old year, Schildhauer, stall
wart and handsome high school
bandmaster, was slain in typical
gangland style just Is days ago.
His bullet-riddled body was
found in a desolate section OF
Cicero a short time after he was
kidnaped from in front OF his
home.
Paid Marked Attention
When Captain Siege voiced
his belief that it was a love
Staying" Mrs. Schildhauer tear
fully denied there were any other
men in her life. However, inti-
mates declared that Walton, a
former lawyer, paid marked at
tention to her. Questioned about
this, the widow tainted.
From Cedar Rapids, Ia, today
came a description Of the as
serted friendship between Mrs.
Schildhauer and Walton.
Miss Roberta Lubbock, a Chi
cago business girl vacationing
with her parents in the Iowa
city and a friend of the widow.
said she had met the Schild-
hauers while playing with a
county fair band at Springfield,
Ill. Schildhauer was with the
band for one week.
Double Dates" Cited
In addition to Walton, police
sought Charlotte Holland, girl
friend of Bradberry, who is in
custody. 1t was said that Miss
Holland and Bradberry went on
double dates" with the Schild-
hauers when Mrs. Bradberry was
out of the city.
To police, one Of the unSatiS-
factory explanations of Bradberry
during questioning concerned his
disposition of a revolver follow
ing his designation. as a deputy
sheriff in November. He said he
had given it to another deputy,
but borrowed it back about a
week later.

INITIATION DUE
WITHIN YEAR,
THEY Think
Recovery Measures Adopted
BY Congress Pointed to
As Weak or Failures
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

Currency inflation-a cheaper
American dollar-iS being pr1.
vately predicted by growing
number of Senators and Repre-
sentativeS on Capitol Hill.
They expect it to come within
the year unless there is miracle
of economic recovery, which few
expect.
What is described as "a modest
amount of initiation" is being
quietly advocated not only by
those who have felt from the out
set that some such policy was
necessary in view of domestic ana
international conditions, but also
by those who heretofore have
considered the very term "infla-
ton" anathema.
Remedies Fail
How it is to be brought about,
and the extent of it, are still to
be determined, but that it is com.
ing is the belief of a steadily In
creasing number of legislators.
They point out, in private con-
versations, that all the recovery
measures already instituted, such
as the R. F.. c. and the Home
Loan Bank System, have failed to
better conditions materially, de-
spite the hundreds of millions
they have poured out.
Borah Plans Action
Senator Rorah CRD of Idaho
has "belled the cat" on the issue
to the extent of announcing that
in the near future he plans to
introduce legislation designed to
expand the currency and thereby
reduce the value of the dollar.
He did not go into details, but
insisted that American commodity
prices, particularly those OF agrt"
culture, cannot be increased so
long as 80 nations are off the
gold standard and thus are UNI
able to buy in the high dollar
market with their own deprect-
ated currencies. He asked:
"HOw are we going to rem.
edy this situation until we
remedy the money situatiOn"
Senator Bankhead CD of Ala
bama, Senator Wheeler CD OF
Montana, and others agreed with
Borah.
Critics Hit Bankers
Wheeler predicted the United
States would either have to go
off the gold standard before long
or remonetize silver. Senators
from silver-producing state S
agreed with that.
There is deep and growing
criticism of the bankers, although
most of it has been confined to
private comment. Once straight
out inflationary measure is in
troduced and opened to debate,
however, this criticism is ex-
pected to break forth in pub
lie torrent.
Those who criticise the bankers
contend that they have "gobbled
up" the hundreds of millions that
the r. F. C. and other Federal
agencies have put out, and failed
to pass them along, so that the
small business man and farmer
have had little or no direct ben
eft.
