STIRS VETERANS
Unfair Tactics Declared En-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May TO-
Rumors Of unfair political tactics en-
ployed in favor of one candidate today
gave United Confederate Veterans a
choice bit of gossip as they prepared
20 elect their new commander in chief
to succeed Gen. ]. c. Foster at their
annual reunion here.
Headquarters officers nf the organiza-
ton were accused in a statement by
Gen. r. D Turner of Oklahoma City Of
working up sentiment in favor of Gen.
Albert T. Goodwin of Elmorc, Ala,
commander of the Army of Tennessee
department.
Turner, who is adjutant general to
Col. r. A. Sneed of Oklahoma City,
brigade commander Of the Oklahoma
Division. is boosting Sneed for the COM
membership.
The veterans themselves want to de-
eide on their commander, and Little
Rock is the proper place for the delib-
eration," Turner said in charging that
officers OF the general staff were active
IN creating sentiment among the vet
Grams in favor of Goodwin.
The election was scheduled for late
this afternoon. Atlanta and Charlotte.
N. C., were engaged in a spirited fight
for the 1929 reunion, the North Caro-
lima delegation asserting Charlotte'S
rlghtful claim by virtue of the fact that
that State never has had the reunion.

STUDENT CONTROL

G. W. U. Dean of Men Asks Abo.
lition of Faculty Censorship
Of Publications.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
BOULDER. Colo. May 1o-Making a
plea for the abolition of faculty cen
sorship OF student publications, Henry
Grattan Doyle. dean of men. at George
Washington University, Washington
D. c., speaking here today before the
Association Of Deans and Advisers OF
Men in their tenth annual meeting al
the University of Colorado, declared
that such censorship is not only con-
trary to the American ideals of free
speech and a free press, but bad psy-
chology and bad educational policy.
AS a substitute for arbitrary faculty
censorship of collegiate journals, Dean
Doyle urged that student editors be
given complete editorial control of their
publications and then be held strictly
accountable, both as members of the
college community and as citizens for
the discharge of this trust.
When college editors are given au-
thority combined with acknowledged
responsibility, Dean Doyle believes,
they viii use that authority wisely and
VIII learn 10 exercise greater tact, good
taste and discrimination than will ever
be the case under a repressive system
As parallel he mentioned the editorial
and financial success of the New York
4ulES WIFI It's pOlfCy OF All the news
that's 1T to print" He also recounted
''the recent experience of The Washing
ton Evening Star, which publicly an
nounced that as protection to its
readers it would not print the harrow
ing details Of the Hickman murder
casa step which gained 1t general
conlmendation and many new friends.
College editors are likely TO be oul
nIoSt intelligent Students" said Dean
Doyle. In the long run they viii be
Just as quick 70 realize their moral re-
sponsibility to their constituencies as

Primarily, it was pointed cut, the
company will be traders-buying
and selIing-and therefore cannot
be eIassed the same as common car
riers.
New York capital Is behind the
present venture. Captain Peterson
said, and of this, there is ample to
make it permanent business. San
Francisco knows nothing of Alaska,
regardless of the fact that IN the
early days of the territory. the bulk
of Alaskan business was carried on
through san Francisco The major
ity of those earlier California bust
ness men have long since passed
away and in their steads are their
sons and others. These, it is said,
are sadly lacking in knowledge of
the vast Territory the earlier San
Franciseans had so much traffic
with.
California is anxious to obtain a
foothold in Alaska and to that end.
Captain Peterson stated, is in the
market for coal, fish. furs, timber
and farm products.
Captain Peterson has in his pos
session, he said. ample orders and
contracts for the above items suffi-
Gent in number to keep his vessel |
busy for many months to come. In
connection with the coal he added
that it astounded him when inform
ed of the many byproduets obtained |
from Alaska coal, which analysis
shows is of much higher content
than the average coal now on the |
market in San Francisco. He also
said Alaska coal can compete in
quality and price with coal now
sold on the coastal markets-Sew
