The \ suggestion was heartily approved by the board. The vacation offer , came after the hoard had voted to allow practically all the members of the Town welfare staff two weeks ' vacation after it was exp lained that their, employment in the ' office , both under * the original setup of county supervision and un- der the present town setup , has been for ' more than a year ard that under the , county system they would have receive d , such a vacation.

Bund uniforms and emblems were conspicuous by their absence , and there were no drills ' of any. kind , ' Shortly after noon . Sunday, George Fredericks of ; • 3 . 1 PJchmond avenue ,. Amityville , . representing. ' the. attor-- xiey for Ernest Muell er , former pres- iden t of the German-American, Set- tlement league , called on Brookhaven Town Police Chief .. Edward N. Bridge in Patchogue and complained , that ! the bund had taken , possession , ' of- Camp Siegfried without permission or sanction of the league. The league Fredericks said , alleged that ihe \bund was trespassing and wished to have the bund removed from the camp site. Chief Bridge consulted with Dis- trict Attorney Fred-J. Mu r-der , Sher- iff Jacob S. Dreyer , Supervisor Ed- gar A. Sharp , and Justice of the Peace Donald W. Sh aw of Bellport. Later , when Sheriff Drey ex , his chief ' deputy, Harry Prossner , Deputy Sheriff s William Hunt and Paul- Bittner , and John Hulsen , chief in- vesti g ator for Mr. Munder , came to Patchogue , all five , along with Chief Bridge and Supervisor Sharp; , wen t to Yaphank. At the camp, these officials confer- red with August Klapprott , chairman of the German-American. Settlement league , who contended that permis- sion to use the camp had been grant- ed, by the league ' s directors at a meeting on May 11. Police said they were also told by those at the camp that the first mortgage of $6 , 000 , held on the camp property by the P lymouth Memorial Fund society of Biooklyn , which in- stituted foreclo s UT e proceedings against the league a short time ago , had been . purchased recently for §6 , 000 by a firm described as the A. V. Development Co., Inc., which has started foreclosure proceedings against the league. Klapprott , chairman of the day ' s program , was one of the speakers , giving his talk in German. Other speakers \ were Gustave Elmer , secre- tary of the German-American Settle- ment league and . national treasurer, of the GermanrA-nerican bund , who spok e in German , and Wilhelm I-unae , national chairman , of the German bund , who spoke in German and English . Bd. Urges the D efeat - ^tiSMmdm Pte (Continued:- from. - , pa ge/ 1), ent principal , \ who recently was re- fused a renewal contract aftor , haying served the . district for the past , two years. Walter - \ Dunham : of West Islip has. been, employed , as princip al for the coming year - : Saying that its . action in the Brookes, matter ,was \justified , \- the hoard explained that \for the good of the school , '' ' it has not revealed; its- reason s thus far , but . will divulge them at the end of the term \if in- sisted upon. \ The board' s statemen t follows : \The voters of the! Lake Ronkon- koma school district , at the annual meeting on July 9 , will he. asked to vote on , a proposition to increase .the school board from three to five mem- bers. • \As one of the reasons for this proposed increase , members- of the group sponsoring this proposition contend , that the handling of the ad- ministration of ' the school would , be made easier if the board' s duties were spread in five directions , instead of three. ¦ . .. \This/ by itself , is a plausible rea- son , but the sponsoring group has revealed its hand by putting forth three candidates for the proposed two additional positions. \Lake Ronkonkoma ' s present board of education does not choose to take sides in the electiony-in respect to personalities. \ One of. the members of the present board , \ who has served as! a trustee for a total of five years , conies up for re-election July 9. . This member ' s record must speak for it- self. \Nor does the board wish to com- ment on the three candidates men- tioned so far by the live-man-board advocates. Each ' of these three men is well known in the district. \The-board; however , in fa i rness to the taxpayers , wishes to bring to their attention a report current in the district to the . effect that if the five- man board is ajpproved by the voters and these three new candidates are elected , the three new men , constitut- ing a majority of the boardi would place the district in the em,baxassing and costly position of employing two principals , for the coming year. \In a. letter that recently appeared in, the newspapers/ -signed b' y twjo advocates of the five-mari' -hoara plan , this rep ort was . denied w ith the as- sertipn ,, 'As, a* niatter, of fact , * it is , not within , the power; of the . board , to arbitraril y in crease the budget , as the items- ' of tj_e . budget/ are voted upon by, all. present at tho annual meeting,, ' \Contrary to this. asserti on ,, such a . step could; be- taken under Paragraph 15/ of- Section 310/ p if\ : ' th^. Educatipii law , and the . district would be held financially responsible, for any teach- ers ' contracts thereby entered into by the board , wnetKef or not funds for this purpose were voted at the annual meeting. .. ' ¦ . \ \ .The. dual-p rincipaL rep ort appears to have some 'foundation . when it is considered ; that the current five-man- bdard plan was originally conceived several, months ago by a local group of citi-se . ns who ! expressed' dissatis-- faction . Qvez* the. board !s decision , . not to rehire the \ pre s ent princi pal for the comin g year for What the ' board felt was a justifiable cause! It must be. considered , too , that the- present prmcipstl : has taken -part . in meetings called to discuss the five--mah-hoard plan. \The - board feels that taxpayer s should- be informed that if the two- principal plan is adopted , a sharp in- crease in the Lake Ronkonkoma school tax rate would follow. Incidentally, an increase already is thr e atened by the; proposed state-rwide cut in st ate aid for next year. \In their letter to the newsp apers , the five-man-board advocates charged that this past winter , the present board disregarded the wishes of a group of paren ts and taxpayers. * This is ' presumed to refer to the informal meeting held in February at the re- quest - of the presen t principal , at which his supporters were permitted to express themselves in his behalf. \Th e boar d considers that its pri- mary duty is to. conduct .th e affairs of the district in a manner that re- flects on the best welfare of the school. In view of \this responsibility, the board , at the said February meet- ing, chose not to reveal its reason s for mot rehiring the present principal. This cours e was adopted for fhe good of the school , as well as that of. the present principal . • ¦• _ - '\However , ' at the clos e . of the term , several weeks hence , if the reasons for his dismissal are still insiste d upon, the board will divulge them. \In contending that the board' s duties should be more broadly . dis- tributed , tho five-man-board advocates point . out that,th e pres ent board was not represented at the recent regional conference of the State School Boards association , in Riverhead. To this , the present board pleads guilty, as would a large number of other Suf- folk school: boards , if similarly ac- cused, \The fiye-man-board group does not say, howeve r , that the present boar d became a member of the State School Boards association within the past year and has since earnestly endeavored to .keep abreast of school matters in this respect through \ the association ' s frequent publications , which , it receives. 'Tt may be for obvious reasons, that the five-man-board grou p does not say that the present- board , wjth a view, toward broadening its , knowl - edge of sch o ol matters , Avas respon- sible , to some extent for the recent .organizing of the Brookhaven , Town School Boards association. \Contrary to reports being circu- lated by some of , the , nve-mali--bpaTd grbup, Lake Rphkonkoina is not the only runioh •Jfrec ' - - school - . district- in brookhaven , to^v n pay ing a board ,, tha^. cjonsists . of . .only; >tfir<3e/ ' inernhers; . . - ¦ ; \In \ , jits letter , ' the \ fi ' ve-niah-board grqup.^ declabjc] \ one of its- a-ipls: to \ ; be 'ii ;* *smooffiei v .;boafdv pf; education ' . - .
