Higbie. who has been in poor health,
assumed a teaching post and DR..
Clyde NJ Huber of the Wilson fac
ulty was designated acting presi-
dent
Dr. Simmons resignation was be-
lieved likely to strengthen the
chances of DR.. Hubers promotion to
the presidency since school officers
have searched for more than a year
for an acceptable appointment. At
one time it was thought DR.. Harvey
w. Smith, former assistant superin-
tendent of schools here and now su-
perintendent at Lancaster, Pa,
might take the post. On another oc-
casion in an Atlantic City conven-
ton h educators, DR.. Ballou was re-
ported to have interviewed a prom
inent New England educator for the
job.
During DR.. Huber's tenure as act
ing president school officials were
impressed with his handling of the
school. This coupled with the
dearth of acceptable outside candi-
dates and a general school board
desire to promote from within. was
seen as strengthening the likelihood
of DR.. Huber's promotion. A num-
ber of influential school officers are
reported favoring the Huber ad-
vancement.

Attorneyfor Youth
Validity
OF Indictments
Continuance Also Asked
For Mckenzie, Charged
With Criminal Assault

Counsel for James R. Mckenzie,
81, colored, who faces two charges
of robbery and one of criminal
assault, yesterday filed motions in
District Court attacking validity of
the indictments, on one hand, and
asking continuance of the cases, on
the other.
In moving to quash the indict-
ments, John H. Wilson. counsel for
Mckenzie, contended a Government
employe served illegally on the
grand jury and that no colored per-
sons were named to it. The motion
seeking continuances to the october
term was made because of the pres
ent "infamed condition of the
public mind" the court was told.
The attorney argued that "there
is now in this district an excited
state of the public mind against
this accused because of the So
called crime wave involving the
question of race, the investigation
of the Police Department by the
Congress of the United States and
because of statements appearing in
the newspapers with regard to the
defendants trial"
The motions will be argued Mon
day.
Mckenzie is accused of criminally
assaulting and robbing a clerk in
a cleaning and dyeing establishment
in the 3400 block of Fourteenth
street NV. June "a and robbing
another clerk the next day in SIM
liar store in the 1900 block of Four
teenth street NV.

never took over the post to which
he was appointed, said he had given
the matter much thought" and had
several times decided just to come up
here. But each time, he said. some
thing came up to stop him. His
decision not to take the position, he
said, was an injustice" to DR.. Bal

The resignation, which was Off
cially accepted today by the Board
of Education through poll of its
members, once more throws open
the position which had been Off
cially vacant since February until
July l. DR.. E. C. Higbie, former

being told here that Transocean
was under orders of the German
Embassy here
Miss Margarethe Lingelbach testi-
fed she was Zapp's first secretary in
