UNIVERSITY MAY PUT
Ban ON SOVIET BOOK
Smoot Objects to "7e Questions and
Answers on Bolshevism"
at Howard.

1t is probable that q book entitled
"Seventy-six Questions and Answers
on Bolshevism and Soviets," by Al
bert Royse Williams. will not be
found tomorrow In the library OF
Howard University.
Senator Smoot of Utah, who largely
controls the purse strings to the
treasury at Howard University
served notice in the Senate today that
such literature was taboo. 1t appears
that Senator Smoot learned that the
book on radicalism shows the thumb
marks of many students at Howard
University.
"As far as I am concerned said
Senator Smoot, IT will never vote for
another dollar for tho institution II
IL persists In keeping such books In
its library.
"I am told that this book Is being
read by the professors as well as the
students of the university"
Albert Rhyse Williams is the same
williams who held a sensational pub
lie meeting in Washington which led
to the investigation of radical propa-
ganda by the Senate, according Ia
Senator Smoot's belief.

While the report will make no

Congressman are already lining up
against such privilege. according
to indications In the Capitol this
morning.
1t is understood that Congressman
who led the fight against the Police
mems Union are preparing to seize
the reclasifcation commissions re-
port as an opportunity to open their
guns on unionism in the Federal ser
vice. 1t was declared today that
these Congressman will oppose the

from their position that the union

At the headquarters Of the reclass-

garded as a delicate issue. The COM
missioners have never made any
comment upon II, and with but one
exception the employees themselves
have spoken but once of unionisnl
in connection with the rcclassifica-

Generally. It has been regarded as
having no bearing on rcclassification
and perhaps for this reason was ig-
