With the Legislators (Continued fro-m page six) out most of the Taft-Hartley law and substitute something closer to the Wagner aot of 1935. The house un-American activi ties committee decided yesterday 1 to bar broadcasts and picture making from all of its future hearings. The decision was announced by Chairman Wood (D-Ga) after the first meeting of the committee since Democrats took over its con trol. He said the vote was unani mous. In the past, the committee's hearings often have been tele vised and broadcast and displayed in the newsreels. The committee also designated three of its members to confer with Attorney General Tom Clark k but Wood would not explain the nature of the mission. k The committee decided to ask the house f6r $200,000 to finance its activities this year. I -- t American Airlanes « (Continued from page six) ^ quite see it that way, but the man L finally convinced him. * After he got out of the hospital Greg was caught up in a swirl of five-year plans. First there were five years of increasing fertility, then five years of instructing the . products of this fertility in com munist doctrine, Greg asked for a transfer to some less arduous and • more rewarding form of endeavor. Strangely enough his transfer was approved. Fate must have been at the helm for this was the clincher; he was transferred to the Bureau of Inventions. Greg didn’t really invent things. He was a sort of janitor around the place. unt: nigiu. wnne lie wa& sweexj ing the place Greg stumbled over something, and to his horror found himself entangled in a piece ' of wire that was attached to a i strange looking device on a work bench. By the time he got himself clear the wire had been complete ly freed from its proper resting place in the workings of the ma chine. Greg worked desperately all the rest of the night trying to stuff the wire back into the ma chine, but it was no dice. In the morning one of the of ficial inventors came in and found Greg huddled over the machine weeping in desperation and fear. The inventor hurriedly checked the machine and found (amazing as it may seem) that the wire was just what had been obstructing the success of the wire telegraph. The wire had been grounding out transmission. When Gred inad vertently pulled the wire from the machine the dilemma was solved and the wireless telepragh had joined the ranks of man’s achieve ments over the elements. We hate to offer the following information for fear it may seem like sour grapes, in the face of the accusations directed at us, but this invention by Stzwdfso gradsky, coming after the revo lution in 1917, 10 years of five year plans and two years 'in the Bureau of Inventions places. It’s discovery in 1929, or 14 years af ter its discovery by Macoroni. So we are afraid we dismiss the ac cusations of the Russian press and embassy as being only the outbursts of a group of frus t r a t e d in dividuals who ap peared on the scene too late to capitalize on the bulk of great advances made by the “vested in terests” of a bunch of “deluded” world capitalists. WEATHER, Cloudy today witl light intermittent rain and snov mixed, probably followed by Wed nesday. * From Our Mailbag (Continued from page six) I believfe that to a great extent these professors are not suffering from having chosen to think as they pleased, but from not having allowed the students to think as they pleased. It is an unkind trait of Communists, that they are willing to take all the advantages given them, but are unwilling to concede the same advantages to those under their control. I think this can be verified in some de gree by reports from various Communist controlled activities, both here and abroad, no matter how much the reports may be colored by “reactionary” propa ganda. A student who disagrees with what his professor thinks, at least as regards his social views, should defend to the death his OWN right to think as he pleases. Foster Provost, Jr. To the Editor: I find you, the president of the University of Washington, guil ty! You are guilty of gross mis management, slackness, .inepti tude and lack of judgment. How could you have allowed such a state of affairs to exist for so long ? How could you have al lowed persons whose personalities and mentalities had been pervert ed by communistic poison to train and care for the still unformed minds of youth? Men and women who have built and maintained our flourish ing capitalist system send their sons and daughters to college. They trust their children to you, Mr. President. It is your business to maintain a high standard of morality and integrity in the school, and that means exclusion of red mind-poisoners. Veterans, who have fought to protect our system from foreign isms, do not go to college to hear the insidious underminings of those bent on wrecking the same government which is helping the veteran get his education. It’s your business to clean out the super-criminal communists wher ever they may be, whether in the faculty or in the student body. Why do I say super-criminals ? Because the yapping ot these communist dogs has one theme, “something for nothing.” The common criminal takes some risk to get his loot. The robot-brained, mob-intellect Bolshevik, under the protection of the very free dom he would destroy, only cries, “Soak the rich!* Down with cap italism!”, and when he gets enough malcontents on his side he sets up a police state and systematically loots the people j who have contributed most to so ciety. These red ingrates bite the hand that feeds them. They want to wreck the society that is put ting food in their griping mouths and clothes on their lazy backs. They enjoy greater freedom of thought and expression in our country than exists anywhere else and they still scream because they can't control the press. (OSC take note.) They only want freedom so they can take power and banish freedom forever. The scandal made public at the University of Washington is a shocking black mark on the rec ord of American education. This unhealthy breeding of communists that has burst forth like an ugly open sore is cause for highest in dignation among all alert citi zens. Immediate militant and vig orous steps should be taken by all state governments to prevent an other such disaster. It is our duly to restore American education to its former position of high interg rity by having all teachers sign non-Communist affidavits. Fred J.
