The truant school, closed since the Grand Jury Investigation, was lated to open March 1. Dr. Campbell did not know yesterday whether the change would cause a delay.

While Dr. Campbell would not ay definitely that Dr. Goldj-ich would be called In to fill the breach, he observed: Is a psychiatric problem, and It would seem natural If the committee thinks Dr. Gold-rich should take over the school's direction until a permanent director Is selected." Dr. Campbell could give no hint as to who may ultimately be selected permanently.

Xo One in Mind Yet' "We haven't a so'l In mind," he aid. From other sources it was learned that the country may be scoured to find a ma equipped to fill the delicate task of heading the much-criticized Parental School. It Is known that the superintendent's committee, consisting of Dr. Stephen Bayne, associate superintendent in charge of elementary schools, and George H. Chatfleld, director of the Bureau of and Dr.

George Ryan, president of the Board of Education; Charles S. Colden, now county Judge In Queens, formerly Queens district attorney, who conducted the Grand Jury investigation: Charles G. Meyer, Queens civic worker, and William E. Cody, foreman of the Grand Jury, whose investigation disclosed startling conditions at the home. "We have reasonable assurance that our plans for a scientific institution will be followed out." the Mayor said after the conference.

It is known that Mayor LaGuardia and Judge Colden were not satisfied with the plans for reorganization dopted by the Board of Education last week, which approved retention of Mr. Pulvermacher as director In face of severe criticism from many quarters. The only member of the Board of Education to vote last week for a change in directorship was Henry C. Turner, Mayor La-Guardia's appointee. 'Possible Solution' Mr.

Turner's comment yesterday was that Mr. Pulvermacher's resignation "presented possibly a solution to a difficult problem. "I sincerely hope," Mr. Turner continued, "that the board will act upon Mr. Pulvermacher's request that lie oe returned to his former teaching position.

I think that he ought to be given a proper place In the system. I think he was largely the victim of unfortunate circumstances." Mr. Pulvermacher was formerly Chairman of the science department! at Jamaica High School. Dr. Campbell was unable to say whether he would be returned to that school, but said that there are a number of such vacancies and that Mr.

Pulvermacher would be given one of them. Alumnae Gives Tea For Packer P.T.A.

In view of Justice Lockwood's announcement on the necessity of expediting the awards in order to save the city further interest charges, it Is expected the awards will be made at an early date. It is possible, however, that Justice Lockwood may defer decision on all awards pending completion ot an amendment to the proceedings for the property on Schermerhorn St, between Nevins St. and 3d Ave. To Make 80-Foot Streets The widening would in affect slice from ten to 20 feet' off the condemned property Increasing the streets to be improved from 60 to 80-foot roadways.

Instead, Mrs. Gloria Vanderbilt, who lost a bitter court fight over little Gloria's custody to the child's paternal aunt, Mrs, Harry Payne Whitney, went to work in the dress shop she opened with her sister, Lady Purness, and another partner. "I won't see my child until Saturday," said Mrs. Vanderbilt as she prepared to leave for her new business place.

"I presume she will spend her birthday by going to school as usual at the Greenvale School, Roslyn, L. I. She will, I suppose, have dinner with her aunt at Old Westbury." Asked if a birthday party had been planned, Mrs. Vanderbilt replied, "I think her aunt gave something or other last Saturday. She asked if she could have Gloria Saturday and I said Mrs.

Vanderbilt was attired In businesslike frock of plain black silk with a white collar, and a small black hat with a stiff veil. "I won't stay home and meditate," she said.

Magnus, president, of the New York Board of Trade, yesterday urged LaGuardia to take an unyielding stand in the Moses-Ickes controversy. If the terms of the public works loan are a surrender of the city's right to govern itself, Mr. Magnus stated, "then, emphatically, the price is too high." In his letter to the layor Mr.

Magnus added that, inasmuch as citizens of the city were also citi zens of the United States, It Is "just as lncumoent upon Federal officials to put them to work as it is upon the city officials."

Albany, Feb. 20 State Senator Jacob J. Schwartzwald today introduced Into the Legislature a bill making it a misdemeanor to serve liquor gratis or for cash to policemen in uniform. Police regulations forbid police officers to Imbibe while on duty; "but the real culprit," said Schwartzwald, "Is the one who proffers or serves the drinks.

Lewis' Request To Be Relieved Surprises Posner Teachers' Retirement Head Writes to Clarify Confused Situation Commissioner Louis S.

Posner, chairman of the Teachers Retirement Board, today characterizer as "something of a surprise" the request of Frederick Z. Lewis for relief from the duty of reviewing pre viously issued prior service certifi cates. "This Is something of a surprise to me," Commissioner rosner wrote Mr. Lewis, "for I had thought that long ago and especially at the time when Miss Lawson and Miss Craig were appointed a separate commit' tee on service investigation, you clearly understood that your activi ties were to be strictly confined to the several thousand pending cases of contributors who had not yet received prior service certificates and that already issued prior service certificates were not to be reviewed. Prepares Resolution "My purpose in writing to you at this moment is to make this clear and to express the hope that you will not devote any time whatever to anything except the pending cases awaiting the issuance of certificates in order that these may be disposed of just as rapidly as it is humanly possible." Mr.

Lewis, who is one of three teacher members of the Retirement Board, yesterday announced that he had prepared a resolution to be pre sented at the Board of Retirement's next meeting that he "be not here after required to report upon or certify to the validity of the status of a teacher or of the prior service allowed in a certificate of prior service which has been granted by the Retirement Board and which has been In effect for over one year." In an accompanying statement ad dressed to the city's teachers Mr. Lewis explained that "the extra work of reporting upon and certifying to the validity of a service credit in all cases of retirements, death benefits, coming before tne Retirement Board was imposed on me upon the insistence of the then Controller and city members of the Retirement Board as a safeguard against paying out of either taxpayers' or teachers' money from trust funds on any illegal basis." Dislikes Making Reports Mr. Lewis' reports served as the basis for numerous cases where the status of teachers was changed from 'present teacher" to "new entrant." This sometimes resulted in large increase in the rate of their contribution to the pension fund, in several instances as high as 100 percent. Mr. Lewis, stressing in his statement his -frequently stated" lack of desire lo make these reports, as-1 sens: "Because I have at all times I presented a true statement of the facts as they appear in the records of the retirement system I find that I the c-peration I have given the board in the matter has been misrepresented by those who were most insistent upon my doing this work." Posner in Albany To Speak for Bill Commissioner Posner left for Albany this morning to speak for the so-called "narrow" bill which the Teachers Retirement Board sponsors in opposition to the "broad" bill.

Dr. Plotz, who formerly lived at 159 Halsey and who went through Boys High School before going to Columbia, is only 45 now. He was only 24 years old when he made his typhus discovery In 1914, and by 1915 he announced discovery of an anti-typhus serum. During the early part of the World War Dr. Plotz aided in checking an epidemic of typhus among Serbian soldiers.

He returned to the United States as an advisor to General Gorgas on the problem of Army sanitation and it was he, then a lieutenant colonel, who devised the army delouser which was used to fight the so-called cootie in Prance. After the war Dr. Plotz aided fights against typhus in Albania, Bulgaria, Poland and Russia, then began his long connection with the Pasteur Institute of Paris, where he has been research chief for 15 years. In recent years his work has been largely concerned with sub-micro scopic viruses, which are responsible for around twoscore of diseases, among them infantile paralysis, psittacosis (parrot-fever), foot and mouth diseases, rabies, measles and smallpox. Years ago Dr.

Plotz was secretary general of the First International Congress of Mlcrobologlsts, held in Paris. i IN TOILS AGAIN Anthony Bruno 2 More Face Death As Spies in Reich Berlin, Feb. 20 UP) The ominous shadow of the executioner's ax fell today upon two more convicted spies held in Ploetzense prison. The two, who may follow the same path to the block taken by Benita von Falkenhayn and Renate on Natzmer, are men. One, It was learned, Is a former naval technician, but the Identities of both were concealed by official secrecy.

When the plot engineered by the Polish Baron Georges von Sosnow-skl first came under official surveillance a year ago, the Relchs-wehr officer In charge of the department from which the military secrets were sold, committed suicide. Rumors circulated here that Sos-nowskl has been sent to Danzig preparatory for exchange with a German spy held by Poland, but these were generally believed to be without foundation.

Hughes, a keeper at the prison, has Just been arrested also for re ceiving drugs from Bruno and passing them on to Christopher Wilson, a convict. Other arrests were expected to fol low a sweeping probe of the prison drug situation. Back in 1930, Bruno was the cynosure of all eyes as tne society novelists say as the first man in New York State brought to trial under a new law making dope peddling a felony.

Local authorities at that tune claimed he was the master mind behind open distribution of drugs to addicts in an area of several blocks near Hopkins St. and Flush ing Williamsburg. Two trials and considerable squab bling as to what bearing, If any, a previous conviction for burglary In 1919 had In the case gave the prisoner considerable leisure In Ray mond St. jail, and when Bruno was sentenced to ten years In prison on April 5, 1930, Judge Nova charged that he had instituted a smuggling system there, using his own wife to bring In drugs. Brune went to Dannemora, where the hardest criminals are usually sent, and amazed companions by securing two voluntary convicts Fluffie and Tootsle, squirrels.

He got permission to house the squirrels in his cell, the jail authorities be lieving this a harmless diversion. On Jan. 26 of this year Bruno was released on parole after serving nearly half his sentence, and was promptly re-arrested on a charge of smuggling drugs Into Raymond St. Jail five years before. Playing with the squirrels seemed to have rejuvenated Bruno, who gave his age as 64 In 1930 and yet was officially only 39 when arrested last month.

Mailed Drugs Is Charge Fluffie and Tootsle came with Bruno to New York, stuck their bushy tails In the eyes of the cops, amused Jailers in Manhattan and even traveled to Brooklyn, where Magistrate Mark Rudich on Jan. 31 dismissed the charge against their master. An eye was kept on Bruno, how ever. Yesterday afternoon he was arrested by Detective Joseph Hackett of the Narcotic Squad on a charge of mailing drugs into Dannemora. This morning he went to the Manhattan lineup, preparatory to being sent up State as- a fugitive from Justice.

Furtive, thin and nervous, the prisoner had only one request he must not be parted from Fluffie and Tootsle. The request was granted by police, who, be it whispered, now wonder whether those scampering, beady-eyed pets may not have been trained by their animal-loving boss to scamper from cell to cell with tiny portions of heroin and morphine.
