PROBE CUSTER
OF PROFESSOR
Governor Flags Pittsburgh
President for Firing of
Liberal.


HARRISBURG. Pa. July y. 49,
Governor PinchOt today threatened
an investigation Of the University
Of Pittsburgh as a result Of the dis
missal OF DR.. Ralph z. Turner. as
sOclste professor at the institution
and a member Of the Pennsylvania
Security League.
The Governor made public a let
ter he wrote 10 John @. Bowman,
university chancellor. who gave Dr.
Turner 2 years salary and asked
him 70 go somewhere else where
YOU viii be happier than you are
here"
IF the facts are as I understand
them, the Governor wrote. I shall
have no choice but to Law them be-
fore the next regular session Of the
general assembly and recommend a
thorough investigation Of Dr.. Turn
ers case. and Of the history Of aCa-
demic freedom al the University Of
Pittsburgh, for the purpose Of de-
terminating whether the university
should continue to receive public
lAlQS.
Praising DR.. Turner's ability as a
professor. the Governor charged
that liberal causes heretofore have
been suppressed and Independent
thinkers discouraged so frequently
at the university as to make it ap-
pear that this is the settled policy
OF the university under your admin
istration."
The letter pointed out to Dr.
Bowman that. since the taxpayers
contribute TO the university, aca-
demic freedom is necessary.
If the University Of Pittsburgh
is to teach only facts and ideas
that are acceptable TO the over
rich" the Governor said. then It
might well be supported by the
Over-riCh. but not BY public funds.

OFFICIALS SCOFF AT REPORTS OF
GOVERNMENT SYSTEM OF SHOPS
Declare Rumors Of Program To Place H.
100000 Men At Work Are Untrue
And Ridiculous

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. UP)-
Direct action to investigate charges
OF wasteful relief expenditures
was taken today as relief officials
scoffed at reports that the govern
ment was planning gigantic sys-
tenn of government shops and fac
tories to absorb the unemployed.
A plan of this kind has been
worked out but is not to be put
into operation in the immediate
future.
"Boo' said Relief Administra-
tor Harry Hopkins when asked
about the reports as he emerged
from a conference with President
Roosevelt.
THE boys are exploring every
thing but you can say there S no
action on that
In commenting on some reports
that the shop plan would put H.
100000 men to work, Jacob Baker,
assistant relief director said
"Such a plan is ridiculous. In
the first place the unemployed
couldn't use all the goods manu-
factured by so many people and in
the second place there are not
enough facilities outside going con-
Germs for such a project.

to two groups by Walker Young

OF the project. Each group was
placed under the charge of gov

the entire project. including those

BRINGS HOPE
FOR BILLINGS
Convicted Comrade Praying U.
S. Supreme Court May Open
Way To Freedom.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov l3. UR
"A red haired clock k-;~,nder in Fol
som state prison prayed today for
the success of the latest legal move
in Ten MONEYS long fight for
freedom, a move bringing the ia
nous case into the U. S. supreme
court.
The prison clocksmith is Warren
K. Billings, who was convicted on
the same charges as America s
most famous prisoner, those of par
ticipating in the fatal Preparedness
Cay bombing in San Francisco in
1916. Ten persons were killed in the
blast which occurred during a pa
rade arranged to show Americas
preparedness for war.
IF Mooney wins his freedom
through the supreme court, I'll try
the same means" Billings said upon
learning that the nations highest
court had interested itself in the
labor leaders cause for the first
time.
The court has ordered the warden
of San Quentin prison, where Moon
ey is serving a life term, to show
cause why Mconey'S attorneys
should not be permitted to carry
out habeas corpus proceedings.
Warden James r. Holohan of the
prison will be represented in the
proceedings by Attorney General U
S. Webb who was undecided today
whether to appoint an assistant OF

the order.

ton OF Warren K Billings" to jus

HERE KILLED
AT OAKLAND

OAKLAND. Calf, Nov. l3. U.P)
"A bandit. shot tc death while at
tempting to hold,up a dice game in
an Oakland warehouse, was iden-
titled by fingerprints as James Sc
yer, alias James Fish, a grand theft
convict at San Quentin from I'm
perisl county from 1926 to 1929.
After his release, according tC
records, the man was arrested nu-
merous times here and III other
sections Of the state.
Sever blacked his face with burnt
cork before attempting the fatal
dice game robbery.
Officers were unable to learn
who fired the fatal shot. Two shots
were fired from the dead mans
gun as he struggled with several of
the dice players, who resisted his
efforts to take by means of gun,
money designed to be won or lost
at the turn of the dice.
Sever was convicted under that
name on June 18, 1926, with Frank
Hostal, on a grand larceny charge,
involving the theft Of an automobile

BRANDON AND
AIDES FREED

LOS ANGELES, NOV l3. UP)-
r. C. Branion and other former
officials Of the Civil Works Admin
iStration had been exonerated to-
day of charges of official wrong
doing.
On motion OF Joseph 3. keenan,,
assistant U. S. attorney general,
Federal Judge william James dis
missed an Indictment charging
Branion. former state CWA head;
Pierce Williams, western relief di-
rector; Major Jules E. Hanique, C.
C. Frye and five other co-Gefend-
ants with maladminiStration of
the county CWA by defrauding the
government.
"There ism t a Scintilla OF eVi-
dence that would warrant indict-
ment of these men, keenan, said,
"a review of this testimony before
the grand jury shows no evidence
whatsoever on the part of any in
Gividuals of any corruption-aS
that term is usually understood and
applied. There exists no evidence
OF the payment of any money tc
any of the defendants by anyone,
other than salaries which they
were paid by the government.
keenan, said his action was no
reflection against Peirson Hall, U.
S. district attorney, who instituted
the grand jury investigation at the
insistence of Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings.
Dismissal followed shortly after
Federal Judge George Cosgrave had
ruled that the defense could sub
poena copies Of kilograms in which
U. S. Senator William Gibbs Nc
Adoo accused Branion of par
tisan Republican administration
of the CWA. McAdCo had asked
to be excused from service of the
subpoenas, declaring the kilograms
we're in Washington and that he
planned to be in the Philippine Is
lands during the trial.
The kilograms included one Nc
Adoo sent Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins. requesting Bran
ion IS removal. McAdoo expressed
himself as opposed to a partisan
administrator, whether Republican
or Democratic. The senator also
recommended the removal of Frye
and Eugene M. Brown, former coun-
ty CWA leaders.
The defendants had claimed the
prosecution was inspired by politi-
cal motives.
