committee to draft a new constitu-
ton and bylaws.

submit a plan of policy and pro-
cedure looking to locating and open

possible time consists of: Rev. |. r..

gime.
NEXT MEETING IN CHICAGO
The next meeting of the board will
be held in Chicago at the call of the
president to receive reports of the
two special committees and carry
forward the work as rapidly as pos
sible.
Although the present Seminary
board has been authorized by the
two conferences to take any action
which it may deem necessary to eff
feet an opening of the institution as
soon as advisable, opinion expressed
Tuesday night by board members in
dicated that a plan for operation of
the seminary to be worked out by
the board would first be submitted
to the conferences before being put
into effect.
Should this course be followed, it
was pointed out that opening of the
institution would not become effective
until after the next meeting of the
General conference which convenes
in Pennsylvania in the summer of
1941. The Central conference holds
annual meetings.
Location of the seminary it is
expected will depend to a large ex-
tent on recommendations of the COM
mittee on policy and procedure.
BOARD PERSONNEL
Members of the board of trustees
now in charge of the seminary are:
General conference.-the. E. G..

the meeting here Tuesday with ex-
ception of Rev. Hostetler of Cali
fornia and Rev. Regier of Kansas
STRONG CONFERENCE SUPPORT
The General and Central confer
ences which are now officially spon-
soring the seminary are estimated
to represent some 200 congregations
and will form a nucleus for the
seminary organization with which
other conferences of the denomina-
ton are expected to affiliate in the
future.
The seminary which began its
work here in 1921 continued for ten
years after which time it closed its
doors. Although without official
church sponsorship during that
time, it demonstrated its worth and
since its closing in 1881 there has
been strong sentiment in favor of its
reopening.

men is 400, 600, 900 francs a day.
At the official franc exchange
this is more than So, 900, 900.
The expenses Of the army of oc-
cupation had been fixed by the
Germans at 90 900, 900 reichsmarks
daily. But since the Germans also
have a fixed rate of exchange OF
70 francs to n special reichs-
mark, the bill thus mounted to ~

The big payment for the upkeep
of Frances conquerors is only part
of the price France must pay for
losing the war. Property destruc-

Conway in Juvenile court yesterday. The boys were "A" students in high school, came from good families, and had no previous records.
 Miss Kathleen Crowley, probation officer, said the boys go to summer camp every year and have good records there as well as in school. They are not in the habit of prow- ling at night, she said.
 The boys, whose action was be- leved to have been brought about by moment of bedevilment, told the judge they were sorry they did 1t. They were released in the cus- tody of their parents. who accom- panied them to court.

SOCIALISTS IN SESSION TODAY
Some Sentiment in Favor of Throwing Support to
 Roosevelt

Meriden, Conn, Sept. 14-(UP)-- Socialists opened their two-day state nominating convention today with Bridgeport's four-term Mayor Jasper McLevy unopopsed for his eighth consecutive nomination for governor.
 Inasmuch as the party is divorced from the national party headed by Norman Thomas, there was some uncertainty as to what action would be taken concerning presidential electors. In some quarters there was strong support for the Roose- velt-Wallace Democratic ticket. Others preferred a blank space on the ballots and election machines regarding national candidates.
 McLevy polled more than 166,O00 votes in 1888, but it was a protest vote against the involvement of both major political parties in the Water bury municipal corruption and Mer- ritt Parkway graft scandals. Con- servative observers believed he might obtain 50,000 votes this year, and probably enough to swing the elec- ton one way or the other if present anticipations of a close campaign are realized.
 Nominations and adoption of a platform will be decided Sunday.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-14

The police board today ex- pressed satisfaction with the changes recently made by Supt. William J. Roach, while the fire department, expecting a similar zero hour, prepared for sweeping changes.
 Although observers close to the police force have evidence to the contrary, William J. Verriker, chairman of the board, said the men appear very satisfied with Supt. Roach's changes except for a few men "who are not yet quite used to working nights instead of days"
 "The men are on their toes now", Chairman Verriker said. "The people wanted efficiency, and the police are certainly more ef- ficient under the new supervision.
 Close associates of the police, however, know of rancor and bit- terness among them. Charges are frequently heard that men were
