PADNESSA 70 CHAIRMAN KING _(Centinued from First Page) took the form of a statement to the press, reads: “Although the statement made by Mw: King in behalf of the school committee has hardly anything to sa§ concerning the subject under dis- cussion, namely portable schools, it dows ‘bring out certain fat with reference to the present ude of the school committee president on matters educational. ®Those who are familiar with the peculiar position which Supt. Hétmes occupies with reference to ouf school system and our school bagrd can best appraise the state- ment that Mr. Holmes did not rec- onfend the use of portables but that the school accommodations committee made this recommenda- tiom. Mr. King is appearing in a new role—defender of portable schools. Mémbers of the board of finance and taxation who have heard him plead for funds to discontinue the usw of these flimsy structures wil! ha¥e difficulty in drawing mental pbum of the school board head sanctioning appropriations for build- ings other than those threatenad with the use of portables, and going & atep farther by resenting a refer- enee to their manner of construc- tiof. It is significant that no denial 'a made of my statement that the school board was informed last Sep- tember that the Stanley and other bulldiegs were in imminent danger of being overcrowded, and that, with these facts before the board, a vote wid passed to ask additional school fugds, not for the relief of these elomentary schools, but for a mas- sive theater, a pair of gymnasiums, offfees of various sizes and for vari- oug purposes, and here and there a steng of classrooms, this to he kmown as an addition to the Senior high school, and to cost $540,000. + Calls “Insult” Overworked *The school. committee president regards my statement that the high schoel addition could have been dec- laged for some time to come as ‘an inghtt to the intelligence of the citi- zems.’ This ‘insult to the citizens’ business is a trifle overworked when er arguments are lacking. 1f Mg, King could spend a week in my office and hear men and women plending, even crying, for relicf frém conditions of taxation, threat- ened with foreclosures and the loss of -their homes and life savings, he would find that this ‘insult’ does not cancern the average taxpayer; he would know that the people who are foeting the bills don’t want school bulldings as monuments or theaters. but that they want to approach the educational problem on a sane basis, knowing that we must provide ele- mentary school accommodations un- der state statutes, and that we can postpone high school construction, evén though it is sometimes incon- vepient to the faculty and the build- ings may not match those of wealth- ler communities. “When Mr. King says I have op- pesed the school eommittee in the past, he tells the truth, but when ne said 1 have adopted an obstruction- ist attitude he Is in error. ‘School tn “Huckleberry Patch” “I fought the school committee when some of its members were considering the erection of the The- odbre Roosevelt school in the ‘Huckleberry Patch’ near Newing- ton. My first objection was the com- mittee's refusal to bring plans to my office so that we might work to- gether and determine whether it was possible to effect savings. “The second reason for my oppn- sitjon at that time is known to cer- tain of the present board members. I prefer not to discuss this matter, awaiting such publicity as those concerned might wish to give it *“The sum total of my opposition was & change in the site and a de- cision by the board to bring in plans for future schools for study in'my office. With Chairman Hall Stop Using a Truss Free Demonstration Btuart’s Plapao-Pads are different from the truss, being mechanico- chemico applicators made self-adh. sive purposely to keep the muscle-tonic called “PLAPAO tinuously applied to the affected parts, and to minimize danger of slipping and painful friction. The fabric is sott as velvet, and being ad- hesive, 1t clirgs to the body, without surprising {jections of some members of the finance board and representa- tives of the school committes, we closely scrutinized the plans.. The result was a saving of about $100,- 000 in building costs. Schools Bullt During Administration “Mr. King charges me with ‘con- stantly opposing’ the erection of school buildings. May I refresh his memory by reminding that, during my administrations the following schools were built: Israel Putnam | school addition; Stanley school ad- dition; Smalley school addition; the Lincoln school, and the Roosevelt school. Plans were also made for | the Vance schogl, and muych of the| property purchased. Over the ob- of the board, T succeeded in making known the need for ~ school on Clinton street. The present crowd- ed condition of that building is lhc‘ best answer as to whether the need | was actual or imagined. [ “Government is the business of the public. Those elected to office | must expect their actions to be re- viewed and must consider them- selves answerable to those whose funds they disburse. The school committee is no exception to this| rule. To say that a citizen is not a friend of education because he do=s not agree with the findings of a certain group is inconsistent with a fundamental principle of govern- ment and savors of ego. “The public is entitled to infor- mation concerning its school system. There are many questions whi have puzzled the taxpayers, for in stance spending about $75,000 extra to build the Roosevelt school in a manner that would make it avail- able for almost immediate use as a Junior high school, and then fail- ing to so use it despite the urging of a state survey, and the closing| of Monroe school when a small | amount of money would make it usable. “I feel it is my duty to keep in contact with any department which is privileged to spend the city's money. “If this be obstruction, let's millu\‘\ the most of it!"

Calm Sea Aids Search The sea was calm today and facilitated search for the bodies of the three missing passengers, boats covering a wide area between Dungeness and Folkestone where ft was thought the bodies perhaps might be floating.

One theory advanced in connection | with the accident was that the door of the air liner's salon may have been opened after the plane crashed in the water and water pouring through it drowned those at the back.
