1 Hiss' Princeton Speech Received Calmly; Polite Applause Given Princeton, N. J. (U.R) Con victed perjurer Alger Hiss ad- dressed a group of Princeton University students on foreign policy Ihursday night in an atmosphere of classroom calm. Hiss' appearance on the cam pus was an orderly event in con trast to the controversy which arose when he was invited to Princeton by the American Whig - Cliosophic Society, an undergraduate debating group. It was Hiss' first public ap pearance since he was released from a federal prison at Lewis burg, Pa., in November, 1954, where he served three years and eight months of a five year term for perjury. Hiss was convicted in 1950 of charges he lied when he said he never stole govern ment secrets for a Communist spy ring or gave them to a for mer espionage courier W hittaker Chambers. Hiss went to prison in 1951. Protests Pour In The invitation to speak at Princeton was disclosed April 6, and protests immediately began to pour in. The former State Department aide's arrival was met with silence, his speech received po lite applause and he left by a rear door. A crowd of some 300 students and 50 to 100 newsmen and cameramen greeted Hiss in si lence when he arrived in a sta tion wagon shortly before the scheduled start of his speech in 63-year-old Whit Hall. Those outside the hall cheered and applauded as the 51-year- old Hiss mounted the steps. Some booed when a television crew brought a microphone into the crowd to get student reac tion. Students Applaud Hiss Hiss spoke to his audience of some 250 students and 45 re porters without text or notes. The speech which lasted less than a half hour was mainly about last year's "Big Four" Geneva conference and occasion ally referred to the 1945 Yalta conference at which Hiss was one of the late President Roose velt's advisers. Hiss was ap plauded before, after and once during his talk. Hiss said he believed recent Soviet actions and Russian par ticipation in the Geneva conven tion indicated they have aban doned war as a means for at taining their goals but he said they still retain their desire to communize the world. Referring to the cool recep tion given Soviet leaders Nikolai A. Bulganin and Nikita- .S.. Khrushchev in England, Hiss said that although relationships between East and West are not so friendly at present as they were at Yalta, the "fear of atomic destruction" may bring about "a more realistic basis for cooperation." Friday. April 27, 1953 Background on Hiss Speech at Princeton By UNITED PRESS Background on Alger Hiss speech at Princeton The Presi dent and trustees of Princeton University have profoundly de plored a student organization's invitation to a convicted per jurer. But they have formally defended the students' right to make their own mistakes. Hiss spoke before the 500- student membership of the Whig- Cliosophic Society and a limit ed number of reporters on "The Meaning of Yalta." The only formal action against his appearance Thursday night was taken by the university's Roman Catholic organization Senator Neuberger Claims Hitchcock Double Talking Washington, D.C. (Special) Senator Richard L. Neuberger said Wednesday that he was "dismayed and shocked" at the way in which Philip Hitchcock, Republican candiate for the Sen ate, "has completely reversed himself on two major issues fac ing our state and the nation." Neuberger said he had special reference to federal aid to edu cation, and to the Pelton Dam project on the Deschutes river. "I could not believe my ears," Neuberger said, "when I heard Hitchcock had told Multnomah county schoolmasters that the 'American children face part time education or worse unless we get some kind of federal aid." I wondered if this could be the same Hitchcock who repeatedly during the 1954 Senatorial cam paign denounced my claim that federal tidelands - oil revenues should be used for the schools in all 48 states, including Ore gon." Series of Debates - Neuberger said that he and Hitchcock had engaged in a se ries of debates, in which Hitch cock spoke on behalf of Senator Guy Cordon, who was Neuber ger's 1954 opponent. "At that time," said Neuberger, "Hitch cock warned audiences that fed eral aid to schools meant loss of local control. He praised Sena tor Cordon's action on giving away the tideland-oil reserves, which should have been used port. Yet, now, this same Hitch cock has the audacity to tell Oregon school officials that we desperately need federal aid. Neuberger declared that this was "of a piece" with what he called Hitchcock's "double-barreled flip-flop" on Pelton Dam. "Hitchcock has been getting cheers from some members of outdoors groups by announcing against Pelton Dam," said the Oregon senator. "Yet, Hitchcock was one of two state senate spon sors of a 1953 bill to amend the Oregon hydroelectric act to clear the way for Portland Gen eral Electric company construc tion of Pelton Dam." J Neuberger added the charge that "Hitchcock now is in the position of having taken two dif ferent positions on both federal aid to education and on Pelton Dam, in the short span of a few years. Can either side believe and trust him? When will he next go into his double-barreled, triple-revolving somersault and .come up with still a third position?" which invited Willard Edwards ' of the Chicago Tribune to speak the night before on "The lean- j ing of Alger Hiss." j Upholds Right Edwards said the invitation i was "Princeton's business; it j isn't mine." He upheld Hiss' j right to air his opinions but i warned students to take with a ' grain of salt the words of "a man convicted of lying to con- ' ceal complicity in Soviet espion age" who has now chosen "a career in which he instructs the American people in the meaning , of our relations with Soviet I Union." Edwards was applauded sev eral times during trig speech. Chaplain Jeered The university's Roman Cath olic chaplain was jeered when he repeated his earlier demands from the pulpit that the univer sity call off the Hiss appearance. The Rev. Hugh Halton said it would be Princeton's "darkest hour." The student debating society stirred up a debate apparently beyond its imagination by issu ing the invitation to Hiss a former State Department aide who was convicted in 1951 of perjury in denying he had given State Department documents to a Soviet spy ring. It was his first appearance as a public speaker since his re lease from prison in November, 1954. One of the cleverest thieves of the anima) kingdom is the Bar bary ape.

New Chemical Proves To Be Important Link ; Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) They've synthesized a new , chemical at the University of ! California here that has proven to be an important link in sev eral of the processes by which the body burns the food to ob-, tain energy. j The compound is a sugar-like j i substance and one of a number i in body chemistry synthesized over the years by Dr. Hermann O. L. Fischer, professor of bio chemistry. The latest is called D-erythrose 4-phosphate. Compounds like the new phos phate enable the body to break down and use sugar, starch and other carbohydrates. Working with Dr. Fischer were Drs. C. E. Ballou and D. L. MacDonald.
