FRANK REMOVAL ASKED BY REGENT Wilkie, Head of Wisconsin U. Board, Says Service Unsatisfactory. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis, December 16— | Harold M. Wilkie, president of the| Board of Regents, today proposed "h'i retirement of President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin. Wilkie told the regents that he could not vote for the renewal of Dr.| Frank’'s contract next June. He asked that Dr. Frank's future status be disposed of by the board as a whole. “Over a long period there has de- veloped an increasing dissatisfaction with Dr. Frank's administration of the presidency of the university,” Wilkie said. “It is unfair and untrue to attrib- ute this dissatisfaction to anything | remotely connected with partisan pol- ities. It arises solely and entirely out of Dr. Frank's conduct of the presi- dency. “The criticism of Dr. Frank's ad- ministration is not of recent origin and not partisan in character.” A demand that a reported attempt to remove Prank be brought into the open come today from Regent Daniel Grady ot Portage. Rumors persisted that a progressive | bloc of regents planned to force the | resignation of Dr. Frank at the ses- sion. “If there are any proceedings against Dr. Frank,” Grady said, “I shall de- mand that the charges be aired at an open session. I also shall demand that Dr. Frank be given an oppor- tunity to present his case.” President Wilkie of the board is leader of the progressive bloc. Students disclosed that several of their groups have discussed plans for a walkout if the ouster movement materializes. One spokesman claimed 3,000 students of the 8,000 enrolled would quit classes. Alumni Demand Facts. More than 100 New York alumni of Wisconsin demanded last night that no action be taken “until the alumni and the public are apprised | of all the facts involved.” At Washington the National Edu- eation Association appealed by wire to Gov. Philip F. La Follette to pre- vent the removal of the president. None of those known to be opposed to Dr. Frank would discuss the situa- tion. If the board line-up is the same as it was a week ago, when the budget leadership was taken out of Dr. Frank's hands, he will face opposition today from 8 of the 15 regents. At the meeting last week the board voted to prepare its own budget statement for presentation to Gov. La Follette Thursday. In the past this has been done by Dr. Frank alone.
