y MISSISSIPPI FACES EDUCATION BATTLE State Institutions Outlawed Over Nation Following Political Shake-up. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW ORLEANS, January 12 (N. N.A.).—Outlawed by the Nation’s lead- ind educational associations because of | an_unprecedented hiring and firing of professors 1n_a gigantic political up- | heaval, Mississippl’s State university and colleges sre facing a battle against | heavy odds to regain lost prestige and academic standing and to protect up- | ward of 10,000 innocent students. Condemnation of the wholesale shake. up in faculties of the State’s colleges has been officially voiced by accrediting or- ganizations from coast to coast. Several Hundred Changed. The first shot in the feud was fired | more than six months ago when the | board of trustees of the University of | Mississippi, the Mississippi A. and M. College and the Mississippi State Col- lege for Women, controlled and directed by Gov. Theodere G. Bilbo, ordered sev- eral hundred changes in the faculties and staffs of the educational institu- tions. The entire faculty of the University Law School was turned topsy-turvy. Dean T. C. Kimbrough was demoted to the rank of professor, and Judge Stone Devours was clected to head the school Two professors were dismissed outrigh! In attempting to shake up the A. and M. College staff, the trustees elected Lee Denson as director of extension forces, but the Federal Government, which pays part of the expense of exten- | sion work, declined to accept the new director. Medical Dean Spurns Offer. After being dismissed. Dean J. O. Crider of the University School of Med- icine was asked to reaccept his posi- tion, but he declined and joined the faculty of Jeflerson Medical College, in Philadelphia. Others dismissed in !hc‘ upheaval had little difficuity obtaining attractive positions. Reaction to the upheaval was ex- pressed in no uncertain terms by the | Nation’s educational accrediting organi- zations. At its first meeting after the shake-up the Association of State Uni- versities, in session on the Pacific Coast, dropped the University of Mississippi from membership. ‘The Southern Association of Col- Xk and Secondary Schools, meeting in Atlanta, suspended the university, the A. and M. College and the Women's College, seriously involving credits of the innocent students. Under the Southern Association's laws, teachers in accredited secondary schools must meet the requirements of g'l:unuon from universities and col- recognized by the _organization. ‘The Association of Medical Colleges placed the University Medical School on probation. Law School Outlawed. ‘The Association of American Law Schools, meeting in Chicago, dropped from its membership and outlawed the Myssissippi University Law School The university, State Teachers’ College w from the eligible list of the American Association of University Professors. Shortly after the Southern Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools suspended the State colleges a group of Unlvemny of Mississippi students burned Gov. Bilbo in effigy. During the steady bombardment which has followed the shake-up Gov. Bilbo has continued to defend his action and that of the trustees. ere dismissed,” . “The others fired were clerical assistants and hold- ers of similar positions.” (Copyrizht, 1931. by North American News- paper Alliance.) ——— In Mohammedan wunm thii is the r 1349, for Mohammedans measure ir time from the flight of Mo- NOW 'OPEN MISS ALICE ELIZABETH HERSEY, Daughter of Maj.

Ths city of auto- mebiles has been in a condition of industrial hibernation for more than a year. Factory wheels have turned enly intermittently. Tjere have bcen gaps in assembly lines at the numerous auto- mobile factories. But the go-ahead signal has been given, and the ever hopeful population of this essentially youthful community believes that “things will be different now.” The Detroit street railways made preparations to transport thousands more work:rs to their jobs today than | went to work last Monday. Most of | these, of course, are of the thousands | 1aid off December 18, when the inven- | tory, period began, and most of them are going back to work on part-time schedules. Nevertheless, 'there a more optimistic feeling than has exist- ed for many months. Announcement was made that 75,000 | report at other plants in the Detroit area. Other Shops Also Resume. Other automobile factories have issued similar calls to their workers. Hudson, Lincoln, Bulck, Cadillac and Chrysler are going into production after the annual inventory. Chevrolet has promised 30,000 workers stcady jobs through the Winter. Optimistic reports have come out of the New York Automobile Show, and statements of industrial leaders that the depression is soon to b2 a thing of the past are accepted at their face vflue in Detroit. “Hard times” of the past year have appeared worse in Detroit than else- where because of the greater contrast with normal conditions of prosperity. In days of prosperity, when the assembly lines ar> crowded, Detroit is a boom ! town. Money appears to be plentiful for all purposes. People stand in long lines to gain admittance to all places of amusement. Downtown streets are jammed with shopp:rs.

Johnson Will Seek to Settle Troubles Disturbing Colorado Penitentiary. By the Associated Press. CANON CITY, Colo, January 12— Wholesale blood spilling and reverbera- tions of internal dissension in manage- ment have brought the Right Rev. Irving Peake Johnson to the Colorado State Penitentiary as a reorganizer in administrative affairs. Mr. Johnson, Bishop of the Colorado diocese of the Episcopal Church, has come to Canon City at the instance of Gov. Willlam H. Adams in an effort to bring quiet to the prison’s troubled waters. He is a member of the Board of Corrections, governing body for the institution. “I do not particularly want the job,” Bishop Johnson said. “Nobody does, but I feel that the place is of primary importance and I most sincerely want to aid the unfortunates.” In October, 1929, 13 lives were sacri- ficed to the whim of a desperado that he could run a gamut of rifle fire and win his freedom. Daniels, the desperado who dared all and lost all, lay in the alleyway of a cell house, dead by his own hand. With G STREET AT ELEVENTH Linen—More Popular Than Ever!
