Henry Leonard, chief of defense counsel, announced that Roland S. Morris, former Ambassador to Japan; Col. A. M. Holding, West Chester, and Lt.

Mr. Morris member, of a legal firm in this city former president of the Contemporary Club, and Colonel Holding is a former president of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and a leader of the Bar in Chester County, the home of General Butler. General Butler's court-martial was ordered because of an address he made before the Contemporary Club last month, in which he made derogatory statements concerning Premier Mussolini.

Efforts to obtain official confirmation that General Pershing and other high officials may be called as character witnesses for General Butler were unsuccessful. Asked about the report Major Leonard said: "Those matters have to develop in our conferences. I cannot state definitely now what sort of questions will be addressed to any witnesses in case they are called to testify. It was understood that several members of the Contemporary Club who heard General Butler's talk will be asked to testify.

Chipman to Quit As Friends School Principal in June Resigns After 14 Years in Post--Intimates Plan to Enter Suburban Field Resignation of Guy W.

Chipman as principal of Friends School, 110 Schermerhorn effective at the close of the term in June, was announced today by Walter Jackson, chairman of the trustees. Mr. Chipman said he resigned for "personal" reasons and has made no definite plans for the future. He said, however, that he has long been interested in the growth and organization of schools in suburban communities. No successor to Chipman has yet been chosen, Mr.

Jackson stated. Mr. Chipman's resignation, tendered to the trustees at recent meeting, brought from Mr. Jackson today an expression of regret. He said it was accepted only at Mr.

Chipman's request. Since coming to Friends School 14 years ago Mr. Chipman has been active in the civic and social life of the community. He has been eager to adopt newer educational methods and at the same time maintain the character of Friends School. Under his, leadership the enrollment of the school has increased one-third to its present 375 pupils, and physical equipment has kept pace.

An educator all his life, Mr. Chipman received his B. A. degree from Colby College and M. from on the University of Pennsylvania.

His association with a Society of Friends School began in Philadelphia where he headed the science department for eight years, subsequently becoming principal of the West Chester, High School, from where he came to Brooklyn Friends School as head of the high school department. He succeeded Dr. John L. Carver in 1918 as principal when Dr. Carver became head of the Friends Seminary in New York.
