Mrs. O’Hair Was Not
Ousted for Womanless
Board Holliday Says
-..
By RAYMOND BROOKS
Apri! 27-—Regent ft. L.
Holliday of the University of Texas
I Thursday denied accusations of Sen
j Walter Woodward that Hollidav had
caused Mrs. H. J. OHair. Wood
wards sister-in-law, tc be dropped
from the board of regents because
or wanting a “womanless board ”
Holliday listed five Texas women
: whom he said he had suggested to
I Governor Moody for appointment on
the board: Mrs. Mary Lou Prather
Dardin, Waco: Mrs. Smith of Gal
veston: Miss Iir.a Hogg of Houston
and Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunning
ham of New Waver ley.
Regent Holliday declared Senator j
Woodward's statement had “embar
rassed” him becaues “manifestly de
signed to create the irppression that
I dominate the board of regents.” !
The board, “as now*- constituted,”
Mr. Holliday said, “and the inde
pendent course of action consistent- '
ly pursued by its individual mem
bers in ali things is sufficient an
swer to such an insinuation.”
Governor, Moody Thursday had j
not officially announced the ap
pointment of W. M. Odell of Fort
Worth and Buford Jester of Corsi- I
cana, who, it was said at the meet
ing here recently which Mrs. O'Hair ;
refused to attend, after coming to
Austin and then being notified she
! had been selected by Moody for the
board.
Holliday asserted in his statement
i that he had not “caused Mrs. O'Hair
i to be taken off the board of re
gents." and denied that, “I ‘wanted’
and presumably still want a ‘wom
anless board of regents.’ ”
He answered Senator Woodward's
statement which appeared in the
Austin American Thursday morning,
after having declined Wednesday to
make any answer to Senator Wood
ward’s interview.
