POKTI.AND, Dec. 28. (U.N.)
Lack of harmony between Portland
music teachers was climaxed Tues
day, when K. It. Turner, superin
tendent of public Instruction, re
quested the resignation ot 10 mem
bers of the state' music committee.
j The latest rift was occasioned by
alleged personal and discriminatory
action by the committee in ac
crediting mnsic teachers to permit
them to give high school credits
under the state system.
A majority of the commlrtee mem
bers have refused to resign, it is
said, having requested a meeting
with Superintendent Turner In order
to nave tbe question settled by
t peaceful means If possible.
j Those afked to resign are:
