Gladis Black, one Of Lietenant
Nina Van Wrinkles most aggres-

ground Of Washers.
An automobile drew up to the

they were under arrest.
"They started up the car and l
jumped into it, again telling them
they were under arrest The ma

testified, that 1 was an officer and
had a revolver and would have to

they would take me back where
they picked me up-Seventh and

over and had the men arrested"

Wife of Dudley Field Malone
Hopes for Thorough Study
of Problem

Washington's evolution proceed

passing even those at Dayton,
Tenn, for broadening and strength

the United States, in the opinion OF
Miss Doris Stevens, who assisted
her husband, Dudley Field Malone.
in the preparation of his defense
briefs in the Scopes trial.
Miss Stevens, who came to Wash
ington today from Dayton, vel
coined the Washington case as a
means of settling for the entire ma
ton the age-old controversy be-
tween religion and science.
Field Is BrOadened.
''The fact that not only the
teaching of evolution, but the teach.
ing Of geography and physics, in
short the whole scientific field,
are involved in the proceedings be-
fore the District courts will make
for a thorough threshing out OF the
problem" Miss Stevens said.
"These proceedings should serve
TO establish for all time that religion
and science need not be in conflict.
Religion is of the emotions; science
of the mind, and there should be no
<I am hopeful that opening OF
this question will arouse the teach
ers of the nation to the depth of
their responsibilities to themselves
and those in their charge.
DOwntrOdden Profession
1.-THE teaching profession always
has been the most downtrodden and
handicapped of professions. It is.
of course, the most important and
should be the noblest and freest
from prejudices of all the profess
sionS.
"If education in America is to
attain the high standards it must
reach, if the nation is to endure
and progress, our teachers nust be
freed from the petty religious and
political handicaps under which
they now labor.
"Our teachers are being subjected
to these handicaps because they are
afraid to assert themselves. In Day
ton all the scientists present real
lied keenly that they must not
only carry on their work but that
they must unite and fight to hold
the progress they have made
against the attacks Of prejudice.
I'm this fight all teachers should
join"
Asked whether her husband and
Clarence barrow would come 20
Washington to participate In the
local proceedings, Miss Stevens said
that the Washington issue had been
raised since she left Dayton and
she had not been able to speak TO
them about it. She said they were
exhausted by the strain OF the Day

they would be willing to plunge in
to another similar ordeal 1mmedi

Frank H. Stephens, corporation

Following a survey of the suit

Mr.. Stephens was queried as to

is not in direct contradiction to the
religious beliefs held by public

Main Plan of Action
The CORPORATION counsel went

their conference. upon thes pADposed

Mr.. Stephens holds the position
