COLLEGE PARK, Md, December
1s.-Difhculties of the present day
actually are unprecedented opportu-
mites for leadership, Right Rev. James
E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington,
told the student body of the Univer-
sity of Maryland yesterday.
He spoke at the semi-annual tap
ping services of Omicron Delta Kap-
pa, honorary leadership fraternity,
which conferred honorary member
ships on the bishop and George M.
Shriver, vice president of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad and chairman
of the university's board Of regents.
Leadership has always resulted
from striking the lines of hardest re-
sistance," Bishop Freeman declared.
He cited President Roosevelt as the
ideal example" of leader who ad-
dressed his mind first to his personal
problem of conquering physical handi-
caps and then to the problems OF the
Nation in time Of crisis.
importance Oh SHdTdCtCh.
Because of the problems which con-
front college graduates this year, he
said, their opportunities were greater
than those afforded young people in
1882 when he went to work for the
New York Central Railroad. He also
emphasized the need for strong moral
character among those who want to
get ahead.
Persons who feel that "luck' is
against them in this country now,
should be expatriated for few years
to some foreign country where living
really is difficult, he suggested.
In expressing thanks for the honor
conferred upon him, Bishop Freeman
said he considered it the most gratify-
ing of all the college degrees which
have been conferred upon him because
it came from young men aspiring to
leadership.

president of the university. Shriver,
who also spoke, was presented by Vice

A detailed story of how Communists
are attempting to incite "mutiny, re-
bellion, sabotage and assassination"
in the Army and Navy forces was I'M
folded today before the House Com
mittee investigating un-American
activities.
Legislation to remedy what was
called this threat was urged.
Brig. Gen. Alfred T. Smith, rep
resenting the War Department, told
of the distribution of propaganda
among the Army and said Communists
even were enlisting followers in the
armed forces.
Tells of Revolt Attempt.
Comdr. " L. Kirkman, representing
the Navy, told of what he termed the
planned Communistic attempt to in
cite revolt, sabotage and assassination.
The Communists, Kirkman asserted,
are organized into 10 districts and it
is through these that they attempt
ito create disaffection among our
armed forces"
One method, Kirkman testified, Is
for two men and three girls-"choSen
for their looks"-to go aboard vessels
on visiting day.
While the men stuff handbills into
boats, ventilators and any place else
they can find, he said the girls at

they can convert them to the cause"

We must penetrate the armed forces
and organize inside"
Smith urged legislation to make it
a punishable offense "to urge any
member of the Nations armed forces

Earlier, representatives of the Amer
