.DR. PHELPS NAMED
 BY HALL OF FAME
Becomes Director Suc- ceeding Late Dr. Finley;
 Accepts With Pride

Dr. William Lyon Phelps, na- tionally known educator, author, and literary critic, associated with the Yale University faculty for over fifty years, has been named direc- tor of the Hall of Fame of Great Americans on the New York Uni versity campus. Dr. Phelps, as an- nounced at meeting yesterday. ill succeed the late Dr. John H. Finley, editor emeritus of the New York Times. Dr. Phelps is presently va cationing in Augusta, Fla, but will take up his new duties on return ing next week.
 It was stated by Chancellor Chase of the New York University Council: Tt is with great satisfaction that we announce that pr. Phelps, long an elector of the Hall of Fame, has now become the director of the na- tional shrine. He is entering upon the administration of the director ship with all the enthusiasm and sa- gacity that have marked so conspicu- ously his creative devotion to other distinguished pursuits? Dr. Phelps, who is now Professor Emeritus of English Literature at Yale, said in part in accepting, T am profoundly honored, and accept with both hu- mility and pride"
 Dr. Phelps is the fourth director of the shrine since it was estab- lished in 1900. One of his first offi- cial acts will be the preparation for ceremonies for the dedication of the bust of Stephen Collins Foster, American song writer, who was elected to the hall of fame last November.

 Policy

Charging that the late Peter A..

 The Prudential Co. claims MT. Ri- naldi died July 29, 1940, shortly af- ter the defendants filed claims against the company. Investigation by the company, it is alleged, shows that Rinaldi falsified statements
