Senator Denies Rumor
Omaha Fired Corning
As Superintendent
A whispering campaign that
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
was fired as administrator of tho.
Omaha, Nebr., school system be
fore coming here was brought into
the open today by a defense of Dr.
Coming by Senator Butler, Re
publican, of Nebraska.
Senator Butler, in a letter to C.
Melvin Sharpe, president of the
Board of Education, branded the
stories as false.
Mr. Butler is from Omaha
where Dr. Corning served as
school superintendent from 1940
to 1946. Dr. Corning resigned that
position to come to Washington
on March 1, 1946.
“Without attempting to assess
his work in thp Washington
schools, or influence the board s
decision,” Senator Butler declared,
“I feel compelled in fairness to all
concerned to set the record
straight on this matter.”
Term Expires Next March.
The Board of Education cur
rently is trying to decide whether
to reappoint Dr. Corning to the
superintendency. His present
three - year term expires on
March 1.
The board’s Personnel Commit
tee, which is making an evalua
tion of his service as superintend
ent, has scheduled another meet
ing for 10 a.m. Saturday. Mr.
Sharpe said it was hoped the
matter could be settled at the
meeting and if it was. a special
meeting of the full board probably
would be called next week.
Senator Butler’s letter follows:
“It has come to my attention
that through anonymous tele
phone calls and certain letters
that have appeared in the press,
a story is being circulated that Dr.
Hobart M. Corning was dismissed
from his position of superintend
ent of schools in Omaha or that
he resigned under pressure. This
claim is so unfair to Dr. Corning
and so contrary to the facts as I
know them that I take this means
to give the Board of Education
and the public the correct infor
mation.
>0 Pressure to Resign.
“Dr. Corning ably served as
school administrator in Omaha
from September, 1940, to March 1.
1946. It came as a great disap
pointment and surprise to the
people of Omaha when he an
nounced his new contract with
the school board of Washington,
D. C., and submitted his resigna
tion.
“At no time to my knowledge
was there any pressure on Dr.
Coming to resign nor any ma
terial criticism of his administra
tion of the Omaha school system.
Without attempting to assess his
work in the Washington schools
or influence the board's decision,
I feel compelled in fairness to all
concerned to set the record
straight on this matter. I am
sure, Mr. Sharpe that the Dis
trict School Board will fairly as
sess Dr. Coming's administra
tion, free of scurrilous or un
founded personal attacks which
may have been made upon him.”
Penn Turnpike link Given
Ohio Legislature Approval
By Iht Associated Press
COLUMBUS. Ohio, Dec. 13.—
Only the signature of Gov. Prank
J. Lausche remains today to re
move a financial barrier to con
struction of a $310 million turn
pike across Northern Ohio.
A special legislative session last
night approved changes in Ohio's
Turnpike Act asked by the Gov
ernor and investment bankers.
The bankers said it had to be
done so they can sell revenue
bonds to finance the 240-mile
road.
The concrete super-road will
link up with the Pennsylvania
Turnpike south of Youngstow n.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 13 UP).
—The last 57-mile stretch of the
827 miles long Pennsylvania Turn
pike will be opened to traffic
“sometime late this month,” the
turnpike commission has an
nounced. No official date has
been set.
