Favors Ban on
Red Teachers
The teachers of this country
are about as near 100 percent
American as any group can be,
asserted Carl Aschenbrenner,
principal of Parrish junior high
school as he concluded an ad
dress before the Salem Lions
club Thursday noon.
Aschenbrenner, as a member
of the board of directors of the
National Education Association,
spoke of his experiences and of
the efforts of communists to in
filtrate within the ranks of the
teaching profession. These ef
ports were successfully and de
cisively beaten down during the
recent convention in Boston,
but, the speaker said, they were
not whipped.
Aschenbrenner said there was
no reconciliation between de
mocracy and communism and
the teachers that advocate to
talitarism should not be permit
ted within the class room, wheth
it be the elementary grade or
the colleges.
Democracy, the speaker said,
is a way of life rather than a
form of government and as such
has respect for the minority.
After being soundly whipped
on the subject of communism
the advocates of that system
brought up the racial question
in order to create a conflict
among the teachers. This ques
tion, Ascnenbrenner stated, is
one that will take many years to
solve.
The N.E.A., said the speaker,
comprising nearly a half million
persons is attempting to do a
job for the children. The teach
ers need adequate salaries,
must be properly trained and
kept that way.

"I am afraid the president's

it is a political move whereby
he proposes to insist that unless
his proposal for administering
major projects that are yet to
be built is approved he will
prevent the construction of these

Wins Freedom
Dick Carter, also known as
Richard H. Carter and -Dickering
Dick," 12lh street carlot op
erator, was freed in circuit court
here Thursday of a charge of re
ceiving and concealing stolen
property In a directed verdict oy
the jury on instructions of Cir
cuit Judge George R. Duncan.
When all the evidence was in
Judge Duncan ruled that the
state had admitted no evidence
in coroboration to show that
Carter knew the alleged piece of
stolen property, a ear radiator
was on his premises.
Bruce Williams, appearing as
counsel for Carter, set up the
contention of lack of corobora
tion in arguing the motion for
a directed verdict in chambers
S
and also that there was no
dence to show that Carter
concealed stolen property, that
where the radiator was found I
it could have been put there by
anyone of a large number of
people without either Carter's
knowledge or consent.
Carter came up to the trial
court from the county jail where
he is serving the fag end of a 90
day sentence on a larceny
charge, due to expire October 6.
There also is one other charge
hanging over his head, alleged
unlawful use of a motorcraft, on
which he has been bound over
to the grand jury. On this charge
he had posted bail.

Lewis Insists
(Continued from Page 1)
Soft coal operators assembled
at White Sulphur Springs, W.
Va., for negotiations with Lewis,
said it was possible that the min
ers, now idle under the union's
three-day week, would not re
turn to the pits Monday.
Lewis, who demanded that the
operators continue their pay
ments to the health and welfare
fund despite the fact the union's
contracts with them have ex
pired, said that failure to pay
could "cause reactions deterrent
to the constructive progress of
the industry."
Mine owners regarded Wit
statement as a strike threat.
More than 87,000 workers al
ready are idle in other Indus
tries. Of these, almost 46,000
are on strike and 41,000 have
been forced out of work.
Anti-Trust Suit
f Continued from Page II
The action in New York re
quests a court order requiring
A. and P. to separate its manu
facturing and processing busi
ness from its buying and selling
business and to separate its pre
sent seven retail store divisions
into seven independently owned
retail food chains.
The justice department pro
poses to dissolve the Atlantic
Commission company, A. and
P.'s wholesale purchasing and
sales agent in the produce mar
kets. To Make Seven Independents
Under the proposed break-up
of the present national chain in
to seven independent companies,
A. and P. itself would not be
permitted to own more than one
such division, probably covering
about 800 stores, in contrast to
the 6000 retail outlets it now op
erates. The department point out,
however, that the final form of
the proposed dissolution would
be a mutter for the court to de
termine. McGrath described the A. and
P. system as "the largest enter
prise in the food industry in the
United States," with annual re
tail sales amounting to about
Sl.nOO.000.000 or about 6 4 per-
cent of the national total of re-
tail food store sales
"The suit," McGrath said in a
statement, "is designed to elimi
nate the abuse by A. and P. of
its mass buying and mass selling
power."
