School system upset as superintendent faces trial bid
Counsel for Superintendent William E Chancellor demands a trial before a body other than the board of education. Board President James F Oliver and other officials dispute the case while clerks obey orders not to act without board permission. The defense plans to introduce editorials and letters about Chancellor’s record and push for a hearing, while opponents seek a timely resolution.
