fore Judge Wilson, and received

was convicted of mail fraud at
Housotn seven years ago, and
served two years.

poratlon of America and the

ed in Louisiana last year.

BALDWIN PROTESTED
ON EDUCATION BOARD
Petition Circulated in House to
Block Confirmation
By United Press.
AUSTIN, Jan. 20.—A protest
against the confirmation of
Frank Baldwin, Waco editor, as
a member of the State Board of
Education, was put in circulation
today among the members of the
House of. Representatives.
The protest is addressed te
Senator Thomas Pollard, chair-
man of the committee on gover-
nor’s appointments.
Baldwin, while a member of the
House of the 41st Legislature,
roused the ire of many of the
members by criticisms of the
body. He was appointed to the
State Board of Education by re-
tiring Governor Moody, but
Moody had first stated that he
would consult Governor-elect
Sterling before filling that place
on the board. So he is an ap-
pointee of Sterling.
