Communism Charge at Linfield
Stirs Oregon
ALBANY. Ore., May 13. ( AP)
A claim that Linfield college was
subjected to communistic Influ
ences presented n problem today
initial sessions of the Oregon
Baptist convention.
The eliilin was set forth by Dr.
J. A. Gonad, traveling evangelist,
at the Oregon council of Baptist
men here yesterday.
A prolonged controversy ended
temporarily when ministers and
laymen decided to present the mat
ter at today s general conference.
Dr. Gonad objected to resolu
tions passed at a youth conference
at Linfield March 1. He said "one
of those resolutions was definitely
communistic or socialistic, what
ever you will for socialism is
nothing but rommunlsm with a
shave and a haircut."
He said "the resolutions were too
carefully prepared, too well ex
pressed to have been the impromp
tu work of a few students." He
called communism "the product of
atheism, which cannot bo condon
ed by Christians."
Dr. Gonad's remarks drew In
stant rebuttal from Ralph Ennts,
Linfield college freshman In the-
nloicy from Xenia. Ohio, who said
he "never reallv knew God" until
he attended Linfield and that
"whatever Is at Linfield, I want
more ot It."
