Gap Widens In School Board May Unseat Webster
Democratic members of the Board of Education consult their attorney Thomas M. Cullinan to decide whether to attend a Republican called meeting. They contend William R. Webster was improperly named president, citing a legal majority dispute as they warn of unseating him. The board, reduced to seven by Dr Osborns death, faces power shifts as Webster appoints committees favoring Republican control. Lynn W Wilson for Democrats says Webster lacks authority to appoint committees.
