STUDENTS RALLY T0SUPPORT FRANK Threaten Strike if Board Ousts University of Wis- consin President. BY the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis., December 15.— University of Wisconsin students threatened today te walk out of class rooms if President Glenn Frank were forced to resign by the board of Tegents. Groups of students went about the eampus yesterday sounding out senti- ment in favor of a strike. The board, of which one faction has disagreed with the president over administrative policies, will hold a special meeting to- MOrrow. A spokesman for the students said that between 2,000 and 3,000 of the 8,000 enrolled have been lined up to support the president and that many more would be added to their ranks. In several class rooms signs were scrawled on blackboards urging “Let’s support Prexy.” Donald Heun, pres- ident of the interfraternity board, said fraternity members were solidly behind Dr. Frank. Alumni Committee Named. The Madison Alumni Association protested the regents’ procedure and named a special committee to recom- mend appropriate action Regent Gunnar Gundersen, La Crosse, assailed what he said was “secrecy surrounding the reported at- tempt by a progressive bloc of regents to oust the president.” “No specific charges have been pre- ferred against Frank,” he said, “nor has the character of them ever been intimated except as stated by the president of the board, Harold M. ‘Wilkie—namely, those of ‘indecision’ end ‘lack of executive firmness.’” Tugwell Report Denied. A report that Rexford Guy Tug- well, former Undersecretary of Agri- culture, might succeed Dr. Frank was emphatically denied by Wilkie last night. “Such a thought never occurred to | me,” he said. Wilkie refused to comment on the reported ouster move. Dr. Frank and Wilkie met yesterday after a student meeting to discuss de- tails of the university's proposed $15.- | 000,000 budget. other politely.

Harry Brunette, captured in New York City early today by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, had $1,881 in his pockets and $470 in his apartment, all of which is believed by G-men to have been proceeds of recent bank robberies in the Midwest. Brunette, with Merle Vandenbush, is charged with three bank robberies in Wisconsin, the most recent being that of the Citizens' State Bank at Monroe on November 17, six days after the kidnaping of the Jersey State trooper. It was announced at the office of J. Edgar Hoover, F. B. I. director, that questioing of Brunette will be con- tinued today in an effort to learn more about his activities and those of his fugitive companion, Vandenbush. Separated From Ammunition. It was learned here also that a bar- rier of gunfire, with which Hoover and 1his men hemmed Brunette in the kitchen of his New York apartment, separated the desperado from his am- munition in the living room and led to his surrender. According to this account, the G-men literally blasted away the en- trance door of the apartment, afford- ing them a clear view of the interior. Brunette had retreated to the kitchen, where he fired through a rear window at agents stationed there. When his ammunition was exhaust- ed, he sought to return to the living room to replenish it, but was halted by the barrage of bullets from Federal guns. He then threw up his hands and surrendered.

Several weeks ago they were added by the F. B.

Brunette is only 25 and Vanden- records in crime and have served terms in prison for robbery and other charges. Both are natives of Green Bay, Wis. Brunette and Vandenbush entered the Ohio State Penitentiary at Co- lumbus, Ohio, June 4, 1931, to serve terms of 5 to 15 years fer “assualt to rob.” Later they were transferred to the London Prison Farm, London, Ohio, from which they escaped on July 12 of this year. —_— | BLAMES LEFTIST ZEAL W.

Policemen answered a burglary alarm at the screen star’s residence, found young Bonni¢ Wrankle and took her to Hollywood Receiving Hos- pital, where she was treated for severe lacerations. A medical examination was ordered while officers began a hunt for the man. ‘When the gir] tumbled on the roof, Mr. and Mrs. George Seaton, care- takers at the Harding residence dur- ing the actress’ absence in Europe, thought burglars were forcing their way in. They said they saw a man leave the grounds and heard an au- tomobile drive away. ‘The girl said she went riding last night with a man she had known for five months.

More adequate care of the health needs of Washington's poor through a system of health centers was urged last night by Dr. George C. Ruhland, District health officer. Facilities should be provided in these centers for diagnosis, consulta- tion and, to a certain extent, for treatment, Dr. Ruhland told the Mon- day Evening Club, which met in Barker Hall at the Y. W. C. A. After diagnosis, the hospital cases would be cared for elsewhere, he said. Headquarters for Nurses. Ruhland suggested that the centers could serve as headquarters for pub- lic nurses, who would visit the homes | of the indigent in the neighborhood | of the centers. At least 300 such nurses would be needed to do an ade- quate job, he estimated. Lack of funds prevents the District | Health Office from bringing iliness | and mortality figures in Washington | down to the point where the city could be called “truly healthful,” told the club members. . In agreement with Ruhland, Ross Garrett, director of the Central Ad- | mitting Bureau, complained of legis- lative limitations on the admittance | of charity cases to private hospitals. | Fail to Meet Growth. “Health facilities in the District | have not kept step with the growth | of Washington,” Garrett said. | William A.
