the only Class A schools in Wash
tngton.
President James A. Bell of
Southeastern University and Jean
John Fitzpatrick of Columbus Uni
Versity likwise joined in the pro-
test against the present practice
of unnamed officials they said
now give preference to graduates
Of other institutions.
COMMITTEE HEARS THEM
President Bell and DR.. Fitzpat-
rick appeared before the Senate
Civil Service Committee to ask
that the condition be corrected.
The committee has before it a
bill introduced by Senator Morris
Sheppard CD of Texas, to pro-
hibit discrimination as between
graduates Of different schools.
Senator Sheppard likewise ap-
peared at the hearing held in the
office Of Senator William j. Bu-
low CD Of South Dakota, chair
man Of the committee. He ex-
pressed the opinion that his meas
ure would correct "thiS evil"
President Luther Steward, of the
National Federation of Federal

NEW YORK, April 20 d.N.SJ.
Andrew Carnegie Whitfield,
nephew Of the late steel magnate,
was just a missing person" today.
He was sought in routine fash
ion by Nassau County police but
the drama angle was gone with
the discovery that he was regis
tered under an alias at a Garden
City, L. l., hotel while police and
aviation authorities Of several
States were searching for the
plane in which he took off from
Roosevelt field Friday for a short
flight.
INSURANCE BONDS FOUND
The man who occupied a $4
room in Garden city registered as
Albert c. White-a name to cor
respond with the initials A. C. W.,
on his luggage but there was no
doubt that it was Whitfield. He
left his baggage behind and in 1t
were two $4,000 life insurance
policies issued in the name Of
Andrew Carnegie Whitfield, a
passport and several $25 Govern
ment bonds which also bore the
name Of Whitfield'S bride of less
than a year.
Still missing was Whitfield's
red and silver plane but it was no
longer considered important that
it should be found.
PHONED HIS HOME
"There is no evidence Of any
crime having been committed"
asserted Inspector Harold r.
King, chief of county detectives,
whitfield is simply a missing
man."
A record Of telephone calls
from the hotel indicated that
Whitfield had telephoned his
