CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, May "a.
Asserting that communists are spend
ing large sums of money throughout
the country in an effort to reach the
college students, William j. Burns,
head of the bureau of investigation
of the Department of Justice. in an
address here today declared that so
far as he knew the University OF
Virginia lis the only college in the

exist"
AR. Burns declared he had found
radicalism in almost all of the larger
colleges he had visited. He urged
the students to resist the introduc-
ton OF communist teachings in the
University of Virginia.
Relates Experiences.
The noted investigator character
lied the Liberal Club of Harvard Uni
Ncrsity as a student radical organ
iZation." and related his experiences
with the organization. The Reds
are erecting organizations in the
labor unions and even in the churches.
-nr, Burns said, adding that while the
iiihiitIllSlS would not eventually ac-
'oinpiish their aim of overthrowing e
the government" they would be re-
sponsihle for much unrest through
out the country.
Declaring that his aim now "is to
prevent crime rather than to catch
criminals, Mr. Burns said the chief
purpose of his lectures throughout
the country was the advocacy of laws
requiring the registration and ulti-
mate expulsion of alien propag gan
dIStS. The Investigator explained the
: new radio service that is being in
stalled by the bureau of identifica
ton and warned the students against
the dope evil" which. he declared
presented serious problem in many

But, the Post editorial declared. "all
claims founded upon mere priority or
seniority should be sunk in the over

There ist a practical advantage"
continued the Post, "in the present
crisis in following the modern pre-
cedent of having the prime minister
in that branch of parliament must
be reached decisions involving the
very existence of the government. In
ordinary times the prime minister
might safely direct his leisure STRAIT
