New York—Declaring that at notime in the past have attacks on free¬dom in schools and colleges beenpressed with such “an unprecedentedburst of vigor,” the American CivilLiberties union announces that it has.sent out “The Gag on Teaching,” apamphlet released to all educationalpublications, teachers’ organizations,and prominent individuals throughoutthe country, and has urged them tounite in support of a carefully draft¬ed set of principles of academic free¬dom.Edited by the Union’s AcademicFreedom committee the pamphletbrings up to date the story of re¬strictions by law, by public opinion,and by individual pressure groups onteaching in schools and colleges.Freedom Essential“This committee holds,” the pam¬phlet said, “that the great essentialto education is freedom—freedom inpre.senting and studying all the facts,and freedom of teachers to believe asthey see fit and to express their be¬liefs like other citizens. We hold that,when for any rea.son this freedom iscurtailed, real education itself is crip¬pled.”The war set the pattern for inter¬ference with education, according tothe A. C. L. U. And after the waveof military fervor came the Ku KluxKlan, the fundamentalists, the pri¬vate utility interests, reaching a cli¬max in the drive of 1935 for "GagLaws” by the Hearst press and theGuerilla WarfareShakes Palestineas Riots ContinueJERUSALEM, May 25—(UP) —At least five persons were killed andan unknown number wounded todaywhen guerilla warfare broke out allover Palestine. The outbreak cli¬maxed two months of bloody riotingbetween Jews and Arabs in whichnearly 50 have been killed.Bombings and shootings continuedthroughout the day despite the gov¬ernment’s emergency measures whichare tantamount to martial law.British forces discovered largequantities of explosives and ammun¬ition in Arab homes at Jaffa.The search was begun after bombswere thrown at the Anglo-Palestinebank of Jaffa and the railroad sta¬tion, and the Tommies were orderedto restore normal conditions.One Arab was killed at Gaza whenBritish police opened fire on a mobwhich bombed government district of¬fices.Busses AmbushedSeveral Jewish passenger busses re¬portedly were ambushed by armedArabs outside Jerusalem. Governmentforces, rushed from the city to escortthe buses to Jerusalem, also weresaid to have been attacked.Telephone service was disruptedwhen rioters tore down wires.Arabs, in row boats, reportedlybombed and fired a Jewish merchantvessel arriving at Tel Aviv.

Much of the teaching of pa¬triotism is aimed at alleged radical¬ism, at pacifism, and international¬ism.”Of patriotic rituals, the union de¬clares, “Legal compulsion (new sincethe war) is the objectionable featurebecause it forces majority dogmas onall, without allowance for minorityrights. From the standpoint of edu¬cators, a serious objection is alsobrought against making any mean¬ingless ritual out of patriotism.”Teachers* Taboos“It is hazardous in most commun¬ities for teachers to discuss in theclassrooms, and often outside, one oranother of the subjects of Commu¬nism, Soviet Russia, Socialism, paci¬fism, trade unions, public ownershipof industry, dishonest banking, civilliberties for radicals, radical equality,birth control and sex hygiene.”In the nation’s capitol a teachermay not explain or refer to Com¬munism, lest she be held to haveviolated the “red rider” passed in1935 on the District of Columbia’sappropriations bill.Laws requiring the reading inschools of the King James version ofthe Bible by Catholics, Jews, andothers as well as Protestants, havebeen upheld by 12 state supremecourts and thrown out by four.Twenty-one states require teachersto take special oaths of loyalty to the(Continued on page 2)Add Three to Listof Scholarships forEntering FreshmenAt a meeting of the scholarshipcommittee last Thursday, three addi¬tional scholarships were awarded tohigh school seniors who will enter theUniversity next fall.

Ogburn,Sewell L. Avery distinguished serv¬ice professor of Sociology, reaches theconclusion that “the larger cities pre¬sent more opportunities than thesmaller places.” The article, entitled“Daily Living” is the fifth of a se¬ries of ten on Social Characteristicsof the City and appears in the currentissue of the Public Management mag¬azine.Discussing activities in various cit¬ies grouped according to population,the former head of the President’scommittee on Social Trends, dwellsupon housing, trading and use of leis¬ure time in comparing his data. Withregard to housing, it is found that,contrary to common opinion, the per¬centage of overcrowded dwellings isless in the larger cities than in thesmaller. However, this may be at¬tributed to the fact that the auto¬mobile has enabled more city dwell¬ers to commute back and forth fromthe suburbs. Similarly, dwellings inthe larger centers of population arefound to contain more modem im¬provements. This may be due to thefact that a much greater percentageof buildings under 25 years of age isfound in the larger centers.In discussing housing Ogburn em¬phasized the increasing mobility ofthe family in the city. In all fourgroups of cities studied it was foundthat only 60 per cent of the homeswere occupied by the same group formore than two years.More specialization in trading isrevealed in the larger cities sincepurchasers from the surrounding areaare inclined to come to these centersto buy their commodities. However,the purchases of food, general mer¬chandise, lumber and building sup-lies is seen to be nearly equal in thelarger and smaller communities.Leisure is much more commercial¬ized in the large cities as is pointedout by comparative figures on base¬ball games, recreational centers, mu¬seums, symphony orchestras and op¬eras.

Reduction of the present $2,500income tax exemption for marriedpersons. Increases in the income sur¬tax, as urged by Senators Robert M.Lafollette and VVilliam H. King.

Eastman, telling him towithhold all rail consolidation plansuntil after the political campaigns.Eastman has sought vainly for thelast three years to start mergers ofrailway terminals, 5,000 of which hehas surveyed and believes susceptibleto enconomies.With the stage apparently set, fin¬ally, for Eastman to inaugurate hisrail merger program, it w'as learnedfrom an authority high in railcouncils that the agreement was sign¬ed only after both labor and capitalwere informed that Eastman’s officew'ouid be allowed to expire.Senator Burton K. Wheeler late to¬day introduced a resolution whichwould extend Eastman’s office untilJune 17, 1939.It was indicated, therefore, thatthere wdll be no consolidations of ini'portance in the immediate future andthe new dismissal wage agreement,which Secretary of Labor FrancesPerkins hailed as opening a new vistain labor relations, will be a dormantdocument.Supreme CourtVoids MunicipalBankruptcy ActWASHINGTON, May 25—(UP) —A turbulent Supreme court sessionpunctuated by two bitter “liberal”dissents today struck down the NewDeal’s Municipal Bankruptcy law,condemned action by its ace “brain-truster,” Rexford Guy Tugwell, andawarded a major victory to theUnited States Steel corporation.The dissents were registered by theliberal Justices Louis D. Brandeis,Harlan F. Stone and Benjamin N.Cardozo in the bankrupty law andsteel cases. Chief Justice CharlesEvans Hughes joined them in thebankruptcy decision.The court was unanimous in rulingthat Tugwell, while Assistant Secre¬tary of Agriculture, could not holdhearings and make recommendationson rate regulations for t'he KansasCity stockyards even though hissuperior. Secretary Henry A. Wal¬lace, subsequently issued and signedthe orders.Justice James McReynolds wrotethe majority opinion holding the lawunder which many municipal corpor¬ations had .sought to refund theirbonded indebtedness unconstitutionalbecause it impaired contractual obli¬gations and invaded rights of the.states.Court Ruling UnanimousThe act was passed in 1934, wonNew Deal support, and was recentlyextended by Congress until 1940. Itprovided that municipal corporationsincluding water improvement, drain¬age and irrigation districts could sub¬mit debt problems to the courts forworking out arrangements with cred¬itors.The steel corporation’s victory grewout of an attempt by the governmentto forbid the Elgin, Joliet and East¬ern railway company, operating theChicago Outer Belt line, to transportgoods of United States Steel corpora¬tion subsidiaries which forms 60 percent of its traffic.Rail Regulation“The constitution was careful toprovide,” McReynolds, “that ‘No stateshall pass any law impairing the obli¬gation of contracts.’ This she may notdo in the form of a bankrupty act orotherwise. Nor do w’e think she mayaccomplish the same end by grantingany permission necessary to enableCongress so to do....If obligationsof states or their political subdivisionsmay be subjected to the interferencehere attempted, they are no longerfree to manage their own affairs.”Scores of districts similar to theCameron county, Texas, IrrigationDistrict No. 1 which was involved inthe test, have revamped their debtsunder the law.

New York,a policy of suppression of liberal stu¬dent activities has continued, un¬matched, so far as we know, by anyuniversity. Students must sign ‘yel¬low dog’ contracts agreeing to theirdismissal at any time without hearingand without stated cau.se. Studentcriticism of compulsory military train¬ing is suppressed; the student paperis censored; even a private forum forstudents off the college grounds wasclosed. The student peace councilwas abolished.”Academic Freedom PrinciplesThe principles of the AcademicFreedom committee which educators everywhere w’ere urged to accept as abasis for discussion and action fol¬low:“1. No interference with free¬dom of teaching in adult or high*er education except upon judg¬ments of juries of educators; norin lower schools except uponjudgments of composite juries'ofadministrators, community andteachers.“2. No limitation on classroomdiscussion relevant to the sub¬jects taught.“3. Outside of schools, the samefreedom for teachers as othercitizens, with encouragement ofparticipation in public affairs.“4. No interference with the rightof teachers to organize for theirown protection and freedom ofteaching and to affiliate with la¬bor.“5. No unreasonable interfer¬ence by legislatures with theschool curriculum, the control ofwhich .should be vested in educa¬tional authorities and the teach¬ing profession.“6. No compulsory religiouspractices in the schools, such asRible-reading."7. Protection of the rights ofstudents to organize for discus¬sion of public kssues, without fac¬ulty control.

In the United Statesa naval appropriations bill calling foran expenditure of over 629 millionsduring 1937 was passed, making theappropriation for army and navy ofabout a billion dollars. Indicationsare that the budget will be further in¬creased to well over a billion by thetransfer of funds from emergency re¬lief projects.Following closely the passage ofthe U. S. naval bill came news thatJapan is being spurred on to furthernaval construction by the Americanappropriation. The United Statesfleet began to move to an unknowndestination in the Pacific for secretmanoeuvers. Great Britain is build*ing more destroyers, and she is mass¬ing men and ships at her Mediterra¬nean station of Malta. Italy is solidi¬fying her position in Ethiopia, and theNetherlands ordered 13 bombers inthe U. S. An alleged agent of the Ges¬tapo, German Secret Police, was jailedas a spy in Paris and African troopsare being stationed opposite the Ger¬man frontier.

Sharpless Hickman“We Are From Kronstadt,” thefilm now showing at the Princess the¬atre is one of the most important So¬viet films to have been shown in thiscountry in recent years because ofits reversion to the former cinema¬tographic technique and story con¬tent of the Russian films of pre¬sound days.It must be remembered that in theSoviet the film is primarily an in¬strument for spreading propaganda,and that therefore in regarding anyfilm from that country one must ac¬cept this propaganda, in its varyingmoods and modes, as a dominant andconsistent factor.Prior to 1931 or 1932, the Sovietfilm endeavored to put forth its mes¬sage on a mass scale, without any at¬tempt to particularize the problemsin each story for any certain person.This system brought forth such filmsas “Potemkin”, “October”, “Turk-sib” and “Earth”, in which the herowas not a particular person in thefilm, but the social group as a whole.This intense impersonality madethese films epic in story and, often,epic from the standpoint of filmtechnique.* « *The introduction of sound, how¬ever, found the Soviet relatively latein its adoption of modern production Arthur Compton Forsees God-ManPartnership in Controlling Eartholic scientist has delivered himself of j and as a result the stiff andunwieldy period of our early soundera was mirrored in the Soviet filmas late as 1934. Because of the dif¬ficulties in producing a sound filmwhich could adequately cope withhuge mob scenes and great sweep ofstaging, it was not advisable to usethe impersonal attack in early So¬viet sound films. Also, the trend ofSoviet policy in governmental soci¬ology was being gradually turned topersonal elements in the union.These two factors resulted in theproduction of films which, like“Peasants”, were devoted to the ac¬tions of the individual, rather thanto the actions of the masses and theeffect of that action on the individual.In 1934, however, Pudovkin’s “De¬serter” showed that the Soviet hadfinally achieved a meagre successwith sound on a large scale, andsuch ensuing films as “Frontier” and“VV^e Are From Kronstadt” havebeen symbolic of the change back tothe production methods of the latetwenties.the judgment that poison gas is moremerciful than the carnage describedin the Bible because it puts the vic¬tim out of the way immediately.The only plea for peace on an in¬ternational scale came from theFrench veterans organization, whichsent an appeal for cooperation andpeace to the war veterans of Germany.“We say to you German comrades,”their statement read in part, “thatthe hour has sounded for our reconcili¬ation. We must teach our peoples tounderstand and to agree.”Marion TalbotRecalls EarlyDays on CampusMarion Talbot, professor emeritusof Household Administration andformer dean of Women, recalls manyanecdotes of the founding of theUniversity in “More Than Lore” tol)e published by the University ofChicago Press June 12.When she arrived at the HydePark station in 1892 to assume herduties at the new Baptist College shewas met by J. Laurence Laughlinwho was waving a paper and shout¬ing “We have a real univei'sity; hereis the student paper!” It was the“University of Chicago Weekly” firststudent newspajrer, which was pub¬lished ten days before the Universityopened. It was started by a groupof students who met and decided thatthe new institution needed a news-organ, and if it were to be a news-organ It should be there on time.Another of Miss Talbot’s amusinganecdotes is the one about the ar¬rival of the first coeds.The title of her book is taken froma phrase in the second stanza of thealma mater. The former dean ofWomen believes that certain signifi¬cant human relations have had moreto do with the calibre and traditionsof the University than the gray.Gothic walls, and other familiar“lore.”Miss Talbot was dean of Womenand professor of household adminis¬tration from 1892 to 1925, when sheassumed duties as acting president “We Are From Kronstadt” revertsdirectly to Eisenstein’s “Potemkin”,produced in 1925.

Over the 110 and 200meter hurdles, he has proved invinci¬ble. In addition. Green can broadjump over 24 feet—a distance whichshould carry him to a first place orat least among the leaders.Cornell’s Hamilton Hucker will de¬fend his 200-meter hurdle titleagainst a good field.Penn’s champion.
