4 ap se ne TEACHERS’ COUNCIL PRIME MOVER IN TEST OF LOYALTY Urged Appointment of Com- mission and Suggested Names of Members. The Advisory Council which 1s hold- ing secret hearings on the loyalty of school teachers, was created at the Grgantzation of New York teachers, and its members, including Archibald K. Stevenson, former counsel for the Lusk committee, were suggested by the same organization. Brief refer- ) ence was made in a statement, given out yesterday by the Advisory Coun- oll, to this fact. The Teachers’ Council {s composed of ninety representatives elected by teachers’ organizations recognized by the Board of Education, and from the various elements of the teaching staff. William J, McAuliffe, No. 872 East 194th Street, is President. According to its records, its Com- mittes on Advancement of Pupils last March reported that “ need of uniform enfor Iusk law throughout t and recommended the appointment of a commission “to examine the lists of ‘ present teachers with a view of es- (ablishing their right to a certificate of educational qualifications as de- fined by the Lusk law, this commis sion to be composed of persons n connected with the school system.” The Teachers’ Counsel made the recommendation to the State Com- missioner, and a few days later, at the request of Frank D. Gilbert, Deputy Commissioner, sent Mr. Gil- bert the names of Stevensoi Fvayne, Conde Pallen, Finley Shepard and Olivia Leventritt, wh were immediately appointed. Relations have long been strained between the Teachers’ Council and the Teachers’ Union, which 1s organizing a drive to repeal the Lusk law and abolish the Advisory Council. ‘The Teachers’ Union has repeatedly declared the Teachers’ Council to be reactionary and dominated by the Board of Education. The Teachers’ Council, ‘through a committee, has been investigating the loyalty record of the Teachers’ Unton, and a report that the union is actively radical, though with some mpmbers who are not {nf sympathy wit! its most radical activities, was read at the last meet- ing of the Teachers’ Council by Aaron T. Dotey of De Witt Clinton High School. A statement by Abraham Lefkowitz of the Teachers’ Union that he was convinced this report was in the hands of Mr. Stevenson of the Ad- visory Council and had been mdde the basis of the examination of Garibaldi Lapolla and Simon Goldblum, two teachers questioned at the last b ing, was denied emphatically y¢ day by Mr. Dotey, who said he had not given the report to the Advisory Council and was sure they could not have obtained it In any way. The statement given out yesterday by the Advisory Council was in part as follows: “We have noted in the New York papers certain statements relating to the nature of the inquiry now being carried on by the Counctl, which tend to convey to the public a mis- apprehension of its purpose and pre. cedure, Clothing for All On Terms $1.50 Weekly on a $30 At Our Grand Purchase Street Store Women's Suits, 24.50 Up Spring Dresses, 12.50 Up Men's ond 19,50 Young Suits Up 2-Pants 6.98 up Coates, Dresses, 6.98 up JAN AU Alterations Free 100-Piece .

No charges are preferred, but the committee on admissions attempts to make a care- ful scrutiny {nto the fitness of the candidate. The procedure is inform- al and calculated to give every advan- tage to the applicant for license. “The Council also desires to make clear that its findings are in no way binding upon the Commissioner. The purpose of the Council ts to lny be- fore him such facts as may assist him in reaching his conclusion, “It is the policy of the Council to admit an attorney representing any of the applicants that appear before it so that their legal rights may be am- ply safeguarded. To protect any ap- plicant from undue publicity, the Council has adopted the policy of making {ts proceedings entirely contt- dential. Its procedure is in no sense a star chamber trial.”” RICKARD, A. R. A. HEAD, SAILS, Leaves for Russia to Get New Facts on Famine. Edgar L, Rickard, Director General of the American Rellef Association, salled yesterday on the Carmanta for Russia to learn what conditions actually exist in the famine area. Mr. Rickard said word had come to the association that peasant farmers in the Urkaine were hoarding food. “If that fs true,” he sald, “It may be due to a desire to get high prices, which ts against the present Russian law.” Mr. Rickard sald he would be two months abroad. ——>—_——.
