On Remoyal of Ad]t. Frednckson! Although certain gestures were made to keep Adjutant Carl Fred- rickson of the Salvation Army in New Britain, the efforts faded out before the determination of pro- vincial officers of the army last eve- ning, and today finds the local com- mander faced with the alternative of moving or resigning, with a strong probability that all diplomatic relations between the United Com- munity vorporation and the Salva- tion Army will be severed by mutual agreement. Members of the Salvation Army advisory committee were sincere in their endeavors to keep Adjutant Fredrickson here, although they discovered last evening that they were up against a stone wall. Mem- bers of the local corps were brave at their meeting 8unday evening but retreated before their high officers: while officers of Everyman's Bible elass with two mysterious petitiona “8omewhere in New Britain" failed &t the last minute to back up their committee. , Conferees Present The Salvation Army was repre- sented by Colonel 8ven Viberg, di- visional provincial officer; Major Oscar T. Blomgren, divisional offi- cer, and Major Axel Beckman, gen- eral secretary of the eastern division. The local committee was represented by ‘Chairman Fred O. Rackliffe, Treasurer Leon A. Sprague and W. E. Attwood, Senator E' W. Christ, Walter R. Fletcher, A. A. Mills, E. J. Porter, George H. Dyson, Colonel W. W. Bullen and W. L. Hatch. A representative of the local 8alvation Army corps was present as was Ad- jutant Fredrickson. The meeting resoulved itself into two questions, one whether Adju- tant Iredrickson would be permit- ted to remain, and the other whether the Salvation Army officials were satisfied with the way their flnances had been handled here. The answer to both questions was “No.” Concerning the proposed removal of Fredrickson, Colonel Viberg stated that the Salvation Army rules require a man to be moved every three years. New Britain had been &ranted an exception to this rule and the army had permitted Adju- tant Fredrickson to remain here for six years, Colonel Viberg said this was an easy berth and it was not fair to the other men not to give them a chance. It was not pointed out that Adjutant Fredrickson was largely responsible for putting the army on its feet here. Insists on Removal No objections to the removal of Adjutant Fredrickson and his wife would be considered and early in the meeting the local committee capitulated on this question. The issue then resolved itself into & question of the handling of the Anances. The alleged arbitrary handling of Salvation Army money by the advisory committee without considering the army officials was criticized strongly. Mr. Attwood defended pointing out that when Adjutant Fredrickson came here the army books were in such a muddle that it ‘was necessary for the committee to set itself up as a sort of conserva- tor over the army funds. Adjutant Predreckson was severely criticized on this score by his superiors for permitting it. The 10 per cert which is suuposed to go to the natibnal headquarters of the Balvation Army, and which the local committtee has refused to remit was the bone of much con- tention. The officers insisted that they were entitled to the 10 per eent, and also that the monthly check from the Balvation Army ap- propriation be submitted to their representative in the city for ad- ministration. On these two demands the meet- ing seemed to be deadlocked. Ii- nally on motion of Mr. Fletcher it this by was decided a committee consisting | | her persuade her husband not to of Messrs, Racklifie, Attwood and Sprague investigate and report to the committee whether they will recommend acceding to the de- mands of the Salvation Army or recommend that it withdraw from the Community Chest. Visitors Stand Firm The Salvation Army officials were adamant in everything except the question of their 10 per cent from the relief appropriation. ‘They agreed not to insist upon that item. No serious breach befween the advisory committee and the Salva- tion Army has occurred, according to Chairman Rackliffe, who stated today that the army officials simply asked that the local committee fol- low Salvation Army policies and that the arguments of the visitors were perfectly logical and backed up by facts. No statement would be made by Mr. Sprague, treasurer, whose ad- ministration was criticized, beyond the fact that he had been “properly sat upon and,did not know what Mr. Rackliffe wanted to say.” Colonel Viberg’s final statement to Mr. Rackliffe as he left the Cham- ber of Commerce headquarters wheré the meeting was held, was that he hoped nothing would happen to sever the ties between the two | groups. May Break With Community Chest This was not the impression given one other member of the advisory committee, who remarked later that the Salvation Army had broken away from the Community Chest in New Haven and had been more ‘suc- cessful there, and it seemed to him as though that were the ambition of the officials as far as New Britain was concerned. At the Salvation Army head- quarters later the impression was | gained, although no one can quote a direct statement,, that the visiting officials were favorable toward a clean break from the Community Chest. No_ definite statement was made by any of the visiting officials. They stopped at the headquarters for dinner and proceeded on to their respective headquarters, Viberg to New York and the others to Boston. Adjutant Fredrickson, who felt that his work here had been criticised un- Justly by his superiors, felt s¢ dis- turbed that he refused to join them at dinner and simply stated that he was “all through with the army.” Major Blomgren stopped at Springfield on his way to Boston and called up Mrs. Fredrickson, who was visiting there in an effort to have leave the army. Mrs. Frélrickson was in communication with her hus- band by telephone several times during the night in an effort to dissuade h.m from acting impuisively. Today Adjutant Fredrickson said he had no statement to make, und would reserve final decision until after consultation with his wife and one or two others. Petitions Not Presented Although four petitions were in existence asking the officials not to transfer Fredrickson, not one was offered to the meeting. At the meet- ing 9f the Salvation Army members Bunday evening two petitions were signed and it was voted that they be given to Mr. Rackliffe not Ilater than noon Monday. Mr. Rackliffe did not receive them. A representa- tive of the Salvation Army was pres- ent at the meeting and is alleged to have had a petition in his pocket which he did not present. At a recent meeting of the execu- tive committee of Everyman’s Bible Class, Rev. William H. Alderson and A. A. Mills were appointed a com- mittee to take steps to have Ad- jutant Fredrickson retained here. | The committee met and drew up two | petitions which were handed to the Bible Class officials. These petitions also failed to make their appearance last evening. READ'HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS | In Graduating Class at Carnegie Tech Today ELMER A. JOHNSON \ Pittsburgh, Pa., June 11 — Elmer A.
