The article notes Gov Byrne's decision not to reappoint A F Hitchcock to the state board of regents, claiming Hitchcock's perfunctory stance undermined Aberdeen efforts to block a second state university. It argues sustained, active service by regents is required for meaningful policy.
The New York Tribune sums President Wilson’s economy plea against Congress, noting a short session total of 1 128 000 000 dollars with a 90 000 rise and two year totals climbing past earlier congresses while critiquing budget excesses and unresolved line items.
