school, DR.. Joseph L. Johnson was
appointed dean of the school of
medicine, and Leon A. Ransom
handed in his resignation as a mem
Der of the law school faculty.
The appointments were made at
an annual meeting of the board of
trustees. DIR. Joseph, head of the de-
partment of physiology, replaces
DR.. John w. Lawlah, who recently

Grams included, announced action of
the following:
1. Placement of the school of
social work on a two year basis and
authorization for it to grant the pro-
fessional degree of master of social
work.
2. Receipt of a gift of 5000 from
George M. Lightfoot, professor
emeritus Of Latin, for establishment
of a George M. Lighfoot Scholarship
fund.
8. Reelection of Judge Myles A.
Paife of the court Of special ses-
sions, New York, as alumni trustee.
George M. Johnson, the newly

resigned, but will continue at the
university as clinical professor of
radiology and in the practice of his
speciality.
Selection of George M. johnson as
law school dean came as a surprise
to many who had expected to see
Leon A. Ransom in the position.
Johnson has taught at Howard for
six years as compared with 16 for
Ransom. In his three page 1000
word letter of resignation to DR..
Mordecai w. Johnson, university
president, Ransom said:
Il consider the failure of your
administration to acknowledge my
right to be elected to the deanship
of the school of law as deliberate
affront, an act of base ingratitude
and proof that devotion to a cause
merits no reward at Howard univer-
sity."
Ransom continued by saying that
he had been informed that DR.. John
son had been notified by the law
school faculty, the student body and
the alumni that he was their choice
to succeed HASTE as dean.
Howard's administration was ac-
cused of having "an administrative
system automatically unfair" by
the acting law school dean. He also
pointed out his service as instruc-
tor, assistant professor, acting vice
dean, associate professor, professor
and acting dean at the school of law
teachers in the military service. The
following teachers were promoted
to professors:
Robert Ming, Jr., law; Bernard S.
Jefferson, law; James V. Herring,
art; Frank M. Snowden, Jr., clas-
sizes; Martin D. Jenkins, educa-
ton; Maryrose R. Allen, physical
education; and Howard N. Fitz-
hugh, commerce and finance.
1t was announced also that Gus
tav Auzenne had resigned as assist
ant treasurer of the university and
received appointment as associate
professor of business administra-
tion and head of the department of
commerce and finance.

MIAMI, Fla, April 1-(P -
Coast Guard planes and sea-go-

darkness Monday for a derelict
ammunition barge loaded with 1874
tons of bombs and depth charges
which was being swept north in
the gulfstream off the Florida
east coast.
A warning to all ships to steer
clear of the unnamed barge was
broadcast by Coast Guard head
quarters here.
Wandering Blind

said there was a chance that it was

Seventh Naval district head

The barge, which broke loose
from it's towing tug shortly after

30 miles east of Fort Pierce, Fla,
was transporting the bombs and
depth charges out to a depth OF
$500 fathoms to dump them when
it was caught in high seas and
forced to turn back.
Ammunition Unsafe
Coast Guard officials said the
ammunition was from deactivated
airfields in northern Florida and
was being dumped because it was
