for his chemistry research and
teaching, and that LaVallee's
classes In economics were both
popular with students, and appar

dent Strand offered "In evidence"
a letter Spitzer had written to a
professional magazine as a private
citizen, which urged chemists to
read the genetics theory of the
Russian scientist, T. Lysenko, be
fore dismissing It as mere Marxian
dialectics. Spitzer said that his let

in the magazine, and that there
was nothing in his letter to iden
tify him with the college.
Faculty Terrorized'

that after the publicity broke, a
political science professor called
off a scheduled panel discussion

to the faculty council, the appeal
was "railroaded" without discus

6. That the action violates a

or religious beliefs.
OSC In 'Witch-hunt'
La Vallee, in his portion of the
after dinner speech, declared that
the firings at Oregon State were
part of a nationwide witch-hunt
which started immediately after
World War II with radio com
mentators, and has proceeded to
pure unorthodox political belief
among the motion picture indus
try, government workers, and
now college professors.
La Vallce said that the firings
at the University of Washington,
Olivet College, and OSC, of lib

and that estimates which include
those not covered by unemploy

as many as 150,000 are out of
work In Oregon.
"Instead of a progressive pro
gram of legislation to provide job
security and housing," Moore
charged "the federal government
apparently intends to support the
nation's economy by armament."
On the local level, the delegates
reported that the Progressives had
made the only organized opposi
tion in Portland to fare increases
on the city transit system, and
that they were working with
church and other groups for a
Portland ordinance which would
make it unlawful for any public
eating or lodging place to refuse
service for reason of race, creed,
or color.

The party also reported that it
is cooperating with a newly
formed state committee on aca
demic freedom to investigate cases
of educators dismissed for pout

Delegates from Corvallii re
ported that after the firing of
Professor Ralph Spitzer and h. R.
La Vallee from Oregon State Col
lege, the Benton County Court
refused to let the Progressives
meet in the courthouse, where
they previously had met, and that
when they requested the use of
the Corvallis Community Center
for a meeting, permission was
tendered "only on the condition
that you will not discuss aca
demic freedom."
Protest Treaty
In closing minutes of the after
noon session, the delegates moved
to memorialize Congress in pro
test against the North Atlantic
Military Alliance, and to organize
a committee on unemployment
with a mission of investigating de

The delegates also gave qual

He charged that colleges will
destroy professional inquiry if
they require teachers to pass po
litical orthodoxy tests. "We can
follow the path of truth so long
as it does not lead away from

: Following the speeches, the del

request the State Board of Higher
