Mc Carthy iR.-Wis.i. said Monday that one of the first things he will do in the new Congress will be to investi gate the nation's colleges in a search lor subversive influences. 'It will be an awfully unpleasant task,'" he said, observing he ex necu "all hell" to break loose and there will be "screaming of inter ference with academic ireeaom.

Michigan Gov.. G. Mennen Wil liams telegraphed Ohio Gov. Frank J. Lausche imploring his aid. But the telegram reached Lausche af ter Gerdis Hill, 21, an auto plant worker, was released from the Toledo Jail in the custody of the man who transported him there. Toledo Police Chief Ray E. Allen said a man who identified himself as Birmingham Deputy H. Batson had placed Hill in the jail. Batson had explained they were "in tran sit." He produced an Alabama warrant charging Hill with bond jumping. Hill told the police he was ac costed on a Detroit street at pistol point, bandcutfed and shanghaied across the state line. At Birmingham Chief Deputy Wilton E. Hogan said Batson was not a deputy sheriff. A Birming ham bonding company said one of lis employes, H. Brady Batson Jr., bad gone to Detroit to pics up bonri iumDer. The Negro reportedly had Jumped a $300 bond after he was arrested for driving without a li cense Michigan had not authorized Hill's extradition and sought his return to the state. Ohio highway patrol said the men had ample time to get out of the state. Prehistoric Fish Found DURBAN. South Africa Wl A South African fish expert has an nounced one of the most lmpor tant discoveries made in science" a good specimen of a type of fish that scientists once believed had died out at least SO million years ago. Prof. J. B. Smith, a noted Icthy- ologtst, arrived here last night by plane from a tiny islet in the French-owned Camoro group be tween Madagascar and the East African mainland with a carefully guarded crate which he said con tained a coelacanth. He had made J.OOO-mlle dash to collect the fish caught more than a week ago by an African lisnerman oeiore H decomposed. , The coelacanths which bear the scientific name of latimerla cha lumnae were the first family of bony fish. They are believed to have evolved between 200 and 350 million years aco and until recent ly were known to man only by fossils. Earlier fish had skeletons com posed of something like cartilage, as sharks do today. The coela canths are believed to have been an important link in the evolution of sea vertebrates (creatures hav ing a bony structure) into land vertebrates Including man. The coelacanth specimen is a five-foot, blueish-colored creature. The Budget Bundle service at Men's Hand Laundry la easy on your clothes and your pocketbook! CELEBRATE Tough Stand on Subversives prrn of "acting on behalf of big mine operators In a rampnlKn to behead and dismemuer tins union." The union, now unaffiliated, was expelled by the CIO In 1950 on the grounds that It followed the Communist parly line. The subcommittee report exhort- eH the 100.000-niember union to "rid .iself of Its present lender ship" and called for a federal law to: 1. Bar Communists from hold ing office in or beiiiR employed by anv labor ortrflnisnlion. 3. permit employers to fire work ers who belong to organizations nist thinkers" from the nation's colleges. He said he'd rather use that ex pression than- the bald word "Com munists." McCarthy told interviewers for the weekly news magaune U. S. News & World Report that this was the first time he had discussed his projected plan of "going into the educational system." The magaune published Monday a copyrighted account of Its inter view with McCarthy and other ranking Republicans who will head major committees in the sard Con gress, which opens Its session Sat urday. McCarthy will be chairman or the Committee on Government Operations and the permanent Sen ate Investigating Committee. Rep. Velde tR.-IU). who will head the House Committee on Un American activities also expres sed a desire to weed out any Com munists from the nation's colleges and "all fields of education." "This has been largely left un touched up until now,'' Velde said. And. he added: "I realize, of course, that we're going to have a lot of opposition trom various educators, particular ly from the "left wing' educators, but I believe it Is a very fertile field for investigation and it should be done. McCarthy said he did not expect the work of his investigators to duplicate that of Velde's commit tee. He poon-pooned any suggestion an innuirv into the nation's col leges would lead to thought con trol. Death Claims Alex Barry PORTLAND I Alex G.

The McCarran subcommittee re port follows the final year-end re port to Congress released Satur day night by the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities. Tlie House committee denounced communism in some trade unions as "a national disgrace" and rec ommended repeal of a Taft-Hartley law requirement that union officials must file non-Communist affidav its. "This provision of the law, after a start as intended by its authors is now working to the benefit of members of the Communist party engaged In the field of labor," the House committee said. Under the provision. It was ex plained, an individual could swear in the non-Communist affidavit that he was not a member of the Com munist party on the dav he signed it but could be a member the day before and the day after.

Wire-tapped testimony be ad mitted as evidence in espionage 3. The executive branch of gov ernment open its secret files more freely to congressional inve-tlga- tors.

I smcereiy hope that the revelations of this hearing will encourage the entire membershiD to revolt. He said the committee was told 100 locals already have broken away from the top leadership of the union, adding: "An overwhelming proportion of the membership has no uommu nist connection ... (and) cannot let themselves be used as cats- paws by subversive agents." The House committee recom mended federal Investigation of every labor organization to deter mine whether its leaders were Communists. Angry Drinker Batters Bar SCRANTON. Pa.

Sawyer Names J955 As Economic Year to Watch By FRANK O'BRIEN WASHINGTON in Secr arv of Commerce Sawyer and a ' am of government and private econo mists predict good bustnesi in the new year, a possible downturn in ism and a sharp economic test in 1955. The economy has strong built-in safeguards against a depression In the coming years. Sawyer snid. expressing the view that the chief peril, as defense spending slacks off, is fear and uncertainty, not economic weakness. 'The situation Is sound." Saw yer said in a personal nrenice to the 80.000-word report on "Mark ets After the Defense Expansion." The report, made public last night was prepared as a guide to business conditions in t final stages of the defense buildup and after spending for military pur poses turns down. The crucial year will be 1955, it said. It predicted defense spendlne will reach a peak of 55 to 60 billion dollars late in 1953. will run at peak levels through 1954 and will fall off In 1955 to 50 to 55 billions Defense expenditures would then go on down toward a more or less permanent level somewhere be tween 40 and 50 billion dollars a year. It said. Meanwhile, it said, spendable In come may go up 7 per cent. The report was written by the 'Wild Bill' Photo Here A feature on the life of Wild Bill Hickok of Deadwood City fame, recently published in the Amen can Weekly under the caption.

LET US DEMONSTRATE THIS PEYTON 1 'MM'- i Commerce Department's Office of Business Economics alter a six month study In which other govern ment agencies and the fv- 'iee for Economic Development ICED) co-operated. The report said businessmen plan expenditures in 1953. 1954 and 1955 for new plant and equipment close to thl year's record level of near ly 7 billion dollnrs. The report cited this plus con tinued population growth, unfilled needs fur schools, hospitals and highway building, model nltutlon and replacement, passible tax re ductions, sizable Individual sav ings, and social security benefits as major olfsettlng factors to slackened defense spending and any tendency toward recession. But the report came up with the conclusion that bigger production and purchasing power are the keys to locking out depression. The survey assumed internation al conditions and U. S. military goals In the next three years would not appreciably change. Because the economy Is now more or less keeping pace with both civilian and military require ments, the report said, there will be neither a backlog of demand nor a letdown in 1955. In the present national security program, military spendln Is ex pected to reach a peak at about 15 to H per cent of the gross na tional product and to drop to a maintenance level of about 1 per cent. Among principle points in the report were these: 1. "The strong probability, though of course no certainty, of another year of good business In 1953." 3. "A downturn In 1954 Is a real possibility...." 3. "The projected decline in de fense spending in 1955 would pro vide a serious test of the econ omy.... Thus. 1955 appears to be a year in which it will be of major importance sizably to expand pri vate markets." 4. Personal Income after taxes in 1955 may be 240 billion dollars. sn increase of 7 per cent over 1951. 6. No major price raises art In dicated in the near future. 6. A timely year for tax cuts would be 1955, when both govern ment and private spending may be slacking oil. MIMEOGRAPHING and complete MAILING SERVICE "Quality work, Prompt Sorvico, Fair Pricat."

LOUIS in A woman nsv- rhologlat today lambasted the kirn that "1110111 Is to blame" for all of a child's troubles and Ills. Psychologists write a lot about childhood psychology, but marii- cally nothing about the psychol- otcy oi parents, site sniu. rarentnuod is just a develon- mental state "between riuliihniwi and old age." declared Dr. Jnne Loevlnger of Wushiuiiton Univer. sity, St. Louis, In an address to the American Association lor the Advancement of Science. Coming to the dclrn-.o -if some times over-criticized nv.thcrs, Dr. Loevinger cited flw statements buttressing her argument that there's too much emphasis on a mother-blaming complex: 1. "Parenthood has never been recognized oflicially as a branch of psychology, nor as a normal developmental stage. " 3. "Child psychology Is one ol the most Intensively cultivated orancnes ot psychology: the 'psy. chology of parents' Is virtually non existent." She quoted one psycho analyst who says that "babies con trol and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by them: In lact. we my sav that the family brings up a baby by being brought up by him." 3. "Hesearch on parents has been concerned almost exclusively with their goodness as parents, as If to say that parents are of in terest only for the sake of the child." 4. "In the study of mothers, there I has been extraordinary preoccupa tion with the concept of 'maternal rejection'." "But." she added, "almost every : child believes, at some time or other, that what Is wrong li that 'mommy doesn't love me enough,"' 5. "Literature written bv nsv. chologtsta for parents emphasizes 'the rights of Infants,' the obhga-i Hon of mothers to satisfy their children's needs." but without tell ing the difference between the child's needs and rights. Dr. Loevlnter aald there ought to be a study of the potentialities lor evil of the "bow-to-be-a-perfect-parent" books, lectures and ar ticles.
