Wisconsin U. Trustees Vote Publicity on Charges. Students Jeer Foes, Cheer 'Prexy on Refusal to Surrender Post. MADISON, Wia Dec. 16 (fP).

Vehement debate on efforts to remove D. Glenn Frank from the presidency of the University of Wisconsin ended today In a decision to hold a public hearing on charges against him. The board of regent at a stormy meeting, interrupted by table thumping and cheers and jeers of student followers of their prexy voted 9 to 6 to, consider the case at an unspecified date. Undergraduates crowded Into the room applauded Dr. Frank when he declared he would not resign.

They Jeered Chairman Harold M. Wilkie, leader of the regents appointed by Gov. Philip F. La Follette, when he asserted he would ask for Franks retirement at the expiration of his contract next June. Business Administration Assailed.

As a long-smoldering controversy came into the open, Wilkie urged early consideration of a successor to Frank as head of one of the nations leading educational institutions and listed these reasons why he could not vote for Franks reappointment: "The evidence is unmistakable that Dr. Frank lacks the qualities of either a business or an educational administrator. "Dr. Frank has lost the confidence of the regents, members of the legislature and other officials and persons. "Dr.

Frank lacks primary qualities essential in the administrator of a university. "Dr. Frank has failed to devote sufficient time and attention to university affairs. Indeed, he has failed to fulfill even the specific conditions contained in his original memorandum of service entered into when he was first appointed. "Dr.

Frank has permitted practices regarding expenditures of public money in relation to himself and his household that I consider questionable, an opinion in which he has been held by members of the administrative staff who have been much embarrassed thereby. A memorandum of expenditures for Franks house and car, paid from university appropriations, was attached to Wilkies statement. -Students gave vent to two derisive skyrocket yells and shouted: "Down with Wilkie." Frank charged Wilkies statement was "a document of generalities, and was "shot through with inaccurate statements of fact. Regent Clough Gates concurred In the chairmans remarks. FranlC president of the school eleven years, told the regents Wilkies charges dealt with "types of criticism that can be heard on the campus of Avery major university in the country.

He said Wilkies' criticism of the presidents office expenditures hinted of something of a personal or family nature. "My family and I did not request to live in the residence directed by the Capture His Fancy with gifts of his favorite colors and patterns. You do the picking we'll guarantee the serviceability.

Governor-Elect Is Convinced Present Laws Can't Raise Necessary Revenue. BY FRED HIXON, Spa Staff Correipondent. NASHVILLE, Dec. 16. Convinced that In order to carry out his cam' paign pledges at least (4,500,000 more money than can be raised under present tax laws will have to be provided, Gordon Browning is considering recommending the enact ment of a 1 per cent, gross receipts tax, sources close to the Incoming chief executive said here tonight.

The foregoing forecast was made as the Seventieth general assembly of Tennessee convened here today to enact a portion of Brownings proposed social security program. But this session promises to be nothing more than a formality. In fact, issues in volved at this session if there are any are of such minor nature legislators are rushing to satisfy constitutional regulations for the passage of the bill. In the minds of each member sworn In here today, however, is the thought that additional taxes must be put on Tennessee taxpayers. This problem is expected to be tackled early In the coming general session.

The extra session should be ended by Friday. Planning Board Suggestion. The Tennessee planning commlsson has suggested to the governor-elect a gross receipts tax on business con cems in lieu of privilege tax now im posed. This would bring considerable more revenue than Is now collected. The commission believes the gross receipts tax would be fairer than the privilege tax.

For instance, a merchant doing a (50,000 annual business In the same town as another engaged similarly, but with only a (25,000 business, is liable to a similar privilege tax. A I per cent, gross receipts sales tax, it is argued by its sponsors, would equalize the burden. Senate Speaker Byron Pope said tonight Browning has the tax proposal under consideration, but added that "he has not decided definitely upon anything so House Speaker Walter M. Haynes, said he has not discussed taxation with the governor-elect. Bice Noncommittal.

Frank Rice, "Shelby county democratic leader, would not commit himself on a gross receipts tax tonight. Rices delegation helped to defeat the proposed 1935 retail sales tax. No estimates as to the revenue a receipts tax would produce was forth coming here today. The state raises approximately (1,100,000 from the privilege tax on merchants, it was said today at Gov. Hill McAlisters office.

It was thought in -state circles, however, that a gross receipts levy," feomeftnied called a "turnover tax, would raise a huge sum. The question of legalizing liquor crept back into the picture today, but such considerations are without the support of Browning, who personally and politically is a dry. Browning would be expected to veto a bill legalizing liquor. He promised in his campaign be would sign a measure submitting the liquor question to a referendum. It is estimated that several millions could be raised from liquor taxes.

Borne of the governor-elects closest advisers favor modification of the liquor laws to permit Tennessee to tax and legally sell alcoholic beverage. Revenues from liquor, they point out, would assist materially in financing the governors program. They point out further that it is a tax that lew people would object to paying. Betting Proposal Revived. Tonight there also was' a revival of the proposal to legalize betting on horse racing in Tennessee.

Advocates insist legalization of the liquor sales and of horse race wagering under plans used in Kentucky and other states, would raise huge sums. The attitude of Browning on this topic is not known. Other taxation policies under study by the governor-elect' include less liberality in the exemptions of corpora tlons in payment of the corporation excise tax. Browning also is reported to be investigating a report by Prof. Tipton R.

Snavely, head of the department of economics at the Univer sity of Virginia, that public utilities are not paying their burden of the states tax load. Almost every member of the general assembly interviewed here today said he favored the Browning expenditure program, but very few are willing to commit themselves on a means of raising the money. G.O.P. SUPPORTS DAVIS FOR ELECTION POSITION Bp Staff Correipondent. NASHVILLE; Dec.

16. Backed by a solid republican line-up. Will Davis, of Tazewell, former assistant United States district attorney, was nominated in a caucus here tonight by the g. o. p.

membership of the general assembly for state election commissioner. The veteran political leader cemented factions of his party, which fought here two years ago over the election of Frank Dodson, Athens banker. Dodson, the choice of Will Taylor, republican national committeeman, two years ago, was unable to muster the support of a majority of the g. o. p.

members of the house and senate. A combination supported by Gov. Hill McAlister and Edward H. Crump, of Memphis, however, smashed the majority members of the republican caucus and elected Dodson by a huge democratic vote. State Commissioner Dodson was not a candidate for re-election.

Representative Carroll Reece, of the First Tennessee congressional district, was present to back Davis today. He was seated in the back of the room and applauded vigorously when the Tazewell republican leader was nominated. The legislature will elect the commissioner next month at the regular session. Unless It follows the precedent set two years ago In Dodsons election, the nomination of the republican caucus will be followed. BY FRED Copyright, 1S3S, bp the north MADISON, Dec.

16. The La Follette political axe is about to de scend upon the classic head of Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin since 1925, when progressives themselves brought him to the state as an exponent of Intellectual freedom and a liberal In public thought. He lost the latter characterization and became a horse-and-buggy thinker, from the La Follette viewpoint, when he made speeches as a republican. And he was on the way to the political guillotine In Wls consln when he was mentioned as a dark horse possibility for the republican nomination for president of the United States.

It was not merely that he lost his liberalism, according to La Follette standards, but he loomed as a political opponent in the future. His shadow fell across the La Follette path. He is gifted in oratory, more so than either of the La Follette brothers, and a good handshaker; he might go far in any campaign. So his guns must be spiked that is part of the conjecture in the great upheaval at the university. Under Dr.

Frank, the universtly has advanced scholastically and numerically, but the La Follette-con trolled board of regents is determined to drop him despite a rising storm of protest by the students, who seem to like the prexy, and aroused alumni, who sense political Interference with their alma mater. While Gov. Philip F. La Follette has kept silent about it all, it may be assumed his appointees on the board of regents would not be after Franks scalp if they thought, in pursuing such a course, they might displease the governor. So politics races through the story.

It was under the late United States Senator John J. Blaine, then governor (Blaine was a militant progressive), that Dr. Frank became head of the university, and on the committee that chose him was Zona Gale Breese, gifted Wisconsin author, who has denounced the methods to oust Dr. Frank as unworthy of a La Follette. Harold M.

Wilkie, Madison attorney, legislative lobbyist and president of the regents, has charged that Dr. Frank lacks the qualities of either a business or an educational administration. He has asked Dr. Franks tenure be concluded at the expiration of his contract, July 1. For two years, the impression has been growing that La FOllette-lteS were cool toward Dr.

Frank, whose salary is larger than that of the governor, justices of the state supreme court or any other person in the service of Wisconsin. In addition h4ves -in a beautiful home furnished by tEe'state, rides in a big automobile and entertains wtih comparative elegance. Recently it was decided that. Instead of having the president present th universitys budget to the. legislature as formerly, he would divide that duty with Wilkie, a strued as lackfol and a hint to him to resign.

On contrary, he welcomed the co-operation of Wilkie. In Wisconsin politics, Goyf La Fol-lette and hi brother, JSehator 4lf. M. La Follette, rule with an iron hand. Just as their father did before them.

For years Insurgents in the republican party, they broke away to organize a new party of their own the progressive party. On Nov. 3 they elected their candidates for major state offices and a strong representation in both branches of the legislature. They have formed something of a political partnership with the socialists and the board, he said. "I believe we would be better off economically and more satisfied personally if we could live in at house or apartment comparable to the one we had before we came to Wisconsin." Frank said he has brought Wisconsin from seventh to second place among the nations universities and asserted he would "demand a record vote of all those who- want a change, despite the fact that the curve has gone up.

The upshot of the regents discussion was the vote for a public hearing on the accusations. The name of Gov.

Whether the crisis can bo settled without disastrous civil war may be revealed within a few days, when Nanking forces begin to close in on Sianfu.

Officials at Nanking expressed the hope that at least some of the mutineers "will realize the. folly of opposing the central government, but the belief was almost unanimous in the government that further delay would be unfruitful and dangerous. Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Wes-leyan-educated wife of the captive leader, remained today at Nanking, apparently having heeded friends entreaties that she abandon plans to return to the interior to aid in efforts to free her husband. Thus far Nanking had heard nothing of any plans of Marshal Chang to establish an autonomous regime in Shensi. This led to the belief that he had not yet made any arrangements with the Chinese communists in the northwest or any other elements, although it was thought he had been counting on ultimate communist support.

Nanking was anxiously awaiting news of the outcome of the clash west of Sianfu, where ah advance guard of loyal forces encountered some of Marshal Changs rebels. The government troops were trying to cut the Lunghai railway extension beyond Sianfu. the main artery tf communication between Sianfu and areas in the hinterland controlled by Marshal Chang. Thus far the action had not been decisive, but the government expected BOSTON, Dec. 16.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, son of the president, was revealed today by his physician as having won a fight against a hemolytic streptococcus Infection of the throat an illness sometimes fatal. Dr. George Loring Tobey, who has been treating the youthful Harvard senior, made known for the first time that something other than an acute sinus Infection had contributed to Franklins long! confinement in the hospital. In breaking the secrecy surrounding young Roosevelts illness.

Dr. Tobey reported that not only had the throat Infection been cured, but his sinus trouble brought to a point where an operation was extremely unlikely. Young Franklin should, he said, enjoy a White House Christmas. A chemo-therapeutlo agent comparatively new In use in this country prontylin employed by Dr. Tobey in treating the streptococcus throat against which the chief executives son was' fighting.

It has been used with some success for more than a year, however, by English and German physicians. How serious Franklins condition was when the crisis was passed last week. Dr. Tobey did not say. His colleagues explained, however, that a hemolytic streptococcus throat Infection which was the name Dr.

Tobey employed could range from a simple sore throat to an illness that might prove fatal within a matter of hours. Additional signs that the presidents son was a convalescent came with the departure from Boston today of his fiancee Miss Ethel du.Pont. She appeared cheerful as she boarded a plane for New York, having been told that Franklin now was "doing very well. "We have only the sinus to worry about now," Dr. Tobey said In giving his first expanded report of Franklins illness.

"If he continues to Improve as rapidly as at present, he should be able to Join his family for Christmas. Unless there is some sharp and unexpected change, an operation -will REBEL AIR ATTACK TAKES LIYES OF 18 From Page One. the capitals beselgers were contemplating attacks on all fronts instead of trying jp steam-roller their way through University City, the northwestern part of Madrid, which they have occupied for some These government sources predicted the Insurgents would try soon to cut the road from Madrid to Valencia, government seat on the Mediterranean coast. Official statements said' the socialist militiamen had resumed fighting west of Madrid in an effort to regain con trol of Boadilla, and that a bitter battle was going on. Defenses Strengthened.

The recent lull in the fighting around Madrid gave the defense Junta time to construct what high sources called "the strongest line of trenches ever thrown around any position. Strengthening of the fortifications has gone on day -and night since the siege began, and government officers asserted the fall of the capital becomes more unlikely each day. Military sources admitted Gen. Francisco Franco, insurgent commander-in-chief, showed "great skill In moving his men from one front to another, but expressed confidence he would find the defenders trenches and barricades Impassable. Railhead Bombed.

BARCELONA, Dec. 16 (P). Fascist aerial raiders atttacked the Catalan coast for the first time today, dropping nineteen bombs on Port Bou and Culera, near the French border. Two persons were injured. (One of those Injured was a Frenchman, said Perpignan dispatches.) The three" planes dropped fifteen bombs near the railway bridge at Culera, near Port Bou.

One projectile smashed a house, but the railway line itself was not broken. The frontier health service office near the Port Bou. station was damaged. Another bomb struck near a railway switch, damaging two cars. There is no indication of opposition to Davis election.

Tom Taylor, Athens attorney, and Judge Press Monroe, of Union county, also played a prominent role In bringing about the nomination of Davis.

Walter White, of Graysville, former superintendent of the Rhea county schools and pne of the prosecutors In the John Thomas Scopes evolution trial, today was elected minority leader of the house of representatives.

Whites election was uncontested as he was chosen by the republican caucus as candidate for speaker, which nomination carries with it the minority floor leadership. At the caucus White pledged his support to Gordon Browning, said his nomination was an empty honor Insofar as being elected speaker was concerned, and promised to co-operate with Speaker Waite)- M. Haynes. Representative J. E.

Deford, of Savannah, ofttimes a rebel In republican ranks, opposed placing a candidate in the field for speakership and said the movement was foolish. At the organization meeting he threatened to vote for Speaker Haynes, "party regularity or no party regularity. Later, however, he withdrew his Representative White served several terms as superintendent of the Rhea county schools and was at the head of this system when the scheme to test Tennessee anti -evolution law was broached.

In their political dreams, see a La Follette in the White House some day, and any one in official position in Wisconsin who Jars that dream, as Dr. Frank did, is likely to find himself looking for a new job. When Frank's name got into the presidential gossip at the g. o. p.

convention in Cleveland, many Wisconsinites were pleased, not that they took it seriously, but it appealed to their state pride. From then on La Folletteites chilled toward him more than ever. They want no one from this state to share the spotlight with the La Follettes. Another line of speculation is that, with Frank out at the university. La Folletteites may be surprised at the political results, because Wisconsin republicans, searching for new leadership, may rally to him as their candidate for governor in 1938.

against Gov. La Follette or any one else the progressives may run. If victorious over the La Follette machine, Frank might seriously be considered for the -republican nomination for president in 1940. He might become the greatest challenge to the La Follette brothers since they came into power. Further, it has been publicly suggested that Gov.

La Follette, at the close of his present term his third term would like to become president of the university as a strategic point from which to view the forming of a hew national Arty four years hence; a dignified place from which to be called as the standard bearer of such a party. The governor, however, has denied that he is seeking or would accept the university presidency. Incensed over what they consider political intimidation in the anti-Frank movement, members of the legislature have announced they would support a bill changing the method of selecting the university regents. The bill may provide for appointments by the governor and the state supreme court, with other regents to be elected, which would make it difficult for any governor to dominate the regents. whose regents control the board, was drawn into the proceedings directly.

Wilkie said Regents Daniel Grady and John Callahan, both Frank supporters, had attended a conference with Gov. La Follette, Gates and him self last spring. Callahan denied Wilkies statement that he had voluntarily agreed to tell Frank the regents were dissatisfied with him. He concurred in what Grady said that La Follette had told Callahan, John, youre the man to do it." Wilkie denied partisan politics had anything to do with the Frank removal movement. success as soon as its reinforcements arrived.

The outcome of the clash was expected to indicate how firmly the rebels were determined to resist. Yu Yu Jen, veteran nationalist was appointed pacification commissioner for Shensi Wednesday. He was expected to go to the center of trouble immediately. Nanking hoped his appointment would Influence some of Marshal Changs wavering followers to desert his cause, since Yu is held in high esteem by some of the rebel commanders who have been his political disciples and also by some of the Chinese communist chieftains in the northwest. The generalissimo and severed military aides were seized at Slapfu last Friday In a sudden coup engineered by young Marshal Chang, once the overlord of Manchuria.
