STUDENT STRIKE
COMES TO END
Franklin CoIIegianS Vote to
Return to Glasses by
Narrow Margin.
BY JOHN THOMPSON
Times staff Writer

FRANKLIN, Feb. 21.-The Frank
lin College board of directors today
admitted to striking students that
its faculty was the lowest paid in
Indiana, but the board expressed
itself as distinctly annoyed that
students should have used a Tabor
center strike" to call attention to 1t
The students, after they hao
heard this and had heard the board
give not an inch in their direction
voted by a narrow margin to return
to their classes.
The board said that, while it had
not investigated the programs OF the
chapel, it thought three times a
week was not too often for students
to gather and sing hymns and heed
the Word"
The board said that, unfortunate
ly, the college could not afford a
public relations expert, so that
President William Gear Spencer
would not continue his speaking
tour in it's behalf, regardless OF the
students plea that he remain on
the campus and study conditions
there.
The board then said no student
would be punished for having par
ticipated in the weeks strike if he
returned to classes Immediately aft
err chapel, and that all who were
still dissatisfied with conditions
could resign and get their tuition
money back.

To move MIN would have cost re-

questioned the authority Of any
state court to ship a family like

sient case worker, and Miss Char
lene Winters, 419 w. 40th-st, in

tilted that Frank Coontz had told
them he migrated from st. Louis
because the relief there was made
quate for his family.
At that point William Duke Balm,
attorney for Mr.. Dawson, said: If
we do not have the authority to ship
the poor across the state line, In
diana will become the poorhouse OF
the country"
He added that Frank Coontz was
public charge.

Liquor Bill Attacked

Charges that the current budgets
of rs Indiana cities would be thrown
out of balance and local tax rates
increased we're laid before Gov Paul
V. McNutt and members of the
General Assembly today, following
last nights bearing on the admins
tration liquor control act.
A delegation of mayors and city
attorneys bitterly attacked the
revenue distribution sections Of the
control act, and told the House OF
Representatives morals committee
that 100000 would be taken away
from local governments and added
to the states revenues.
They did not abandon their as
sault upon the bill, although Ed
ward P. Brennan, state budget
cler,l., said no Indiana city would
receive less revenue than was antici-
pated last September when budgets
were prepared. Mr.. Brennan insisted
that higher license fees would make
up for what the cities lose in excise
taxes.
E. p. Davidson, Lafayette city at
torney, asserted at the hearing that
"the state of Indiana, in order to
balance its own budget, is going to

Court Battle to Escape EUiction From Indiana

The social workers, Mr.. Hunt
singer, a stumbling witness, and
Miss Winters, a precise, sharp
tongued witness, told of efforts they
had made to make Frank Coontz
agree to return to st. Louis.
They told how, when Coontz had
no work, he had asked for clothing
for his children and how they had
refused to deliver it until Frank
Coontz complied with their wishes
to return to st. Louis.
Mr.. Berger, in making his deci-
sion, said that it would be incon-
venient to send the family back to
Missouri because Mrs. Coontz was
expecting a child and because her
husband was working steadily.
Frank Coontz said that he would
never ask for relief again.
The decision was popular one
and buzz of approval went up from
the neighbors, who sat on the Ber-
ger furniture and lounged against
the walls, as it was announced.
