(By The Associated Press) MADISON. Jan. 7 The University of Wisconsin board of regents voted tonight, 8 to 7, to discharge Dr. Glenn Frank, 49-year-old president of the school since September, 1925. The vote came after a final stormy session of the board, amid scenes of wild disorder by students who Jammed the regents' small meeting room.

The students hooted, howled and pounded on the doors, The dismissal will not become effective until the end the current school year in June, but the board will start looking about at once for a successor, who will take charge of the university as soon as he is named. The motion for Frank's dismissal Was made by Regent Clough Gates, who with. Chairman Harold M. WU-kie led the fight against the president, j. Earlier George Harry Adams, University of Wisconsin alumnus, charged the board of regents was "star-chambering" the hearing.

The cold belt widened stretching from the Pacific coast to the Great Lakes and extending south to the Texas Panhandle. Rise Aids Infection Predictions of rising temperatures were received with mingled feelings. Some medical authorities moderation, would hamper efforts to stem the spread of influenza. The public health service rep6rted at Washington, the dread disease, was on the increase all over the nation. Dr.

Morris Flshbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical association, stated: "Severe weather always checks influenza and pneumonia by keeping people indoors and away from crowds. However, we don't know whether it has any direct effect on the germs themselves." 49 Below in Oregon Meacham. with a temperature of 49 below zero, was the eold capital of the day. Spokane, experienced zero weather. Oakland, Calif, had its lowest reading in 15 years-r-29 above.

Snow accompanied a drop to six above on the Texas Panhandle. 14, Respiratory" diseases attained serious proportions. New York reported 88 pneumonia and influenza deaths in a 24-hour period, raising this week's total there to 239. Chicago counted 31 deaths in 24 hours and 189 in the past five days. The epidemic resulted in 13 fatalities in 24 hours at Denver, and claimed 143 victims since Dec.

Practices such as false advertising jand bribery of competitors would be designated "unfair" and banned, along with monopoly in general.

Wage and Hour Agency The statute would assert federal power to establish minimum wages and maximum hours for labor, but only to prevent "starvation" wages and overlong hours. No attempt to regulate wages and hours on all levels would be made. While the trade commission would have direct Jurisdiction over "unfair trade practices," the determination of the minimum hour standards would be left to a separate agency. This was said to be what the president had in mind in his message to Congress when he said of NftA: "It was unwise to expect the same agency to regulate the length rof working hours, minimum wage, child labor and collective bargaining on the "one hand and the complicated questions of fair trade practices on the other." Once the independent agency imposed standards on an industry, however, violation of tiose standards would be considered in unfair prtc-tice and come under trade commission jurisdiction. Labor Board Has Part Collective bargaining would be left to the Wagner labor hoard.

Provision also would be made for separate voluntary agreements by Industries, similar, to NRA codes and covering wages and hours which could be better than standard. This section would take Care of what was called the "twilight zone" in the anti-trust laws. In effect, it would give businesses a relaxation from some anti-trust law restrictions similar to that en-Joyed under NRA. Price posting would be allowed, for example, and violation of the agreements would be considered unfair and cause for punishment by the trade commission. Norris Wants Action Should complaints be made that an agreement trespasses on' the anti-trust laws' unduly then the trade commission would have authority to review and rule on the question.

The name "industrial agreements act" has been suggested for the law. While the capital pondered President Roosevelt's demand that the courts interpret the constitution liberally. Senator Norris (IndrNeb) came to town today ready to fight for an amendment to the constitution if Mr. Roosevelt's plea is ignored. "We have got to do something about wages and hours." he said.

"If it takes an amendment, we have got to have it." REFUSE TO RETREAT CIS The Associated Press) DETROIT, Jan. 7. General Motors corporation and the Uni'ed Automobile Workers of America refused to retreat from their -stands on "sit-down" strikes tonight in tho race of impending further plant shutdowns and the appearance of counter-strike activity. Fist fights broke out at the personnel gate or the Chevrolet Motor compap.plT;,;. at ItSd late today, involving union and non-union employes but the disorder was of brief duration.

The fights started when some one pulledj down a sound amplifier which carrying a speech by a U. A. W. A. organizer to employe leaving the Police sent to the scene said they were told nonunion workers were angry because the factory wUl be shut down Friday night.

Negotiations Fail Governor Frank Murphy of Michigan Joined federal department of labor conciliators without success today in efforts to bring leaders of the corporation and the union together. Their efforts broke down on this point: "Should sit-down strikers occupying Fisher body company plants withdraw without assurance the company will not resume operations or remove equipment. The union demanded such assurance; "General Motors refused to give it and insisted strikers must vacate plants before any settlement negotiations General Motors said 51,803 of Its employes are now idle because of strikes and parts shortages, and its Chevrolet motor company division announced further shutdowns in Flint. Saginaw and Bay City, Mich, will increase this total by 19,801 by Friday night.

After several shouted "sit down" Adams resumed his seat. Regent Kenneth Downs said if there were any further disturbances he would ask for the appointment of a sergeant-at-arms. Frank's defenders faced a regents board closely divided in their senti--ment toward the president. A vote to delay the hearing, tihich Frank suggested, was defeated 8 to 7 yesterday. Frank Cites Record.

President Frank called upon the board of regents to look at his record. He contended an analysis of university accomplishments since he became president years ago would support his contention that inefficiency charges lodged by Wilkle were inaccurate. i Regent George Mead charged yesterday that Governor Philip La-Follette instituted the ouster movement.
