WISCONSN . Ut DFVELPS 2 ST Slander to Be Charged as Result of Accusations Against Faculty. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis., April 26—Two suits for slander were under prepara- tion today in answer to sensational charges that University of Wisconsin faculty members were involved in misconduct and that Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the university, knew of the charge, but declined to take ac- tion. The accusations were made by Chester D. Snell, dismissed as dean of the university extension division, in testimony last night before a State Senate committee inves- tigating charges of radicalism at State educational institutions. Snell said he was “put on the spot” by sub- ordinates who objected to his con- cern over their conduct. Attorneys Retained. Attorney Benjamin Poss and thé firm of Lines, Spooner and Quarles announced in Milwaukee that they had been retained by a university extension instructor and the daughter of a former regent of the university to institute slander suits against Sneil. | The two were named by Snell as having been guilty of unconventioral |[§ conduct, which the dean said he feared would cast a bad reflection on the university if it became known publicly. When he sought to drop the faculty member from the staff, Snell said, Dr. Frank told him: | “If I were you I wouldn't let any- thing in (the professor's) private life interfere with his three-year appoint- . ment.” Both the professor and the woman, | either personally or through their lawyers, termed Snell's accusations “‘preposterous.” Given Some Support. Snell's charges, which included a complaint that a male faculty member | at the Milwaukee center was acting | improperly with girl students, were | given some support by Dr. Charles | Purin, extension division director. | Purin, the only other witness to| testify at the session before a crowd of | 1,200, said the former regent threatened to “wreck the extension division” if he | did not reappoint the professor whom Snell accused. i — e Boys' Mesh Zipper Polo Shirts With Pockets 78c¢ 3 for $2.25 —Boys like them be- cause theyre cool, comfortable and sporty!

McMichael, 460 G street southwest, an engineer for the District, pulled Leonard from the water a few minutes after he plunged from the bridge. Members of the fire rescue squad who revived him said Leonard ap- parently was suffering more from the shock of striking the water than he was from water in his lungs. He is expected to recover. Witnesses sald Leonard appeared to strike the water on his back after jumping from the guard wall of the bridge. Pains, cramps or callouses at the ball of the foot are sure signs of weak or fall- en arches.
