RED WEEK

CHICAGO, June 27.-Although
. State senate committee reported
after several weeks investigation
that charges Of subversive and
Communistic teachings on the
campus were unfounded, it was
recommended, that Prof. Robert
Morss Lovett, of the English de-
partment, he retired for his Com
munistic activities.
Prof. Lovett denies being a
Communist.
Another professor, Frederick L.
Schuman, Of the political science
department was let off with CEN
are by the majority Of the COM
mittee. for having participated IN
receptions for Communist polltl'
cal candidates.
Asks Dickstein Aid
A dissenting minority report
signed by Senator Charles W.
BAKER, charged Communism was
not only tolerated on the campus
hut pervaded the clasSrooms with
. crimson glow.
When four of the five on the
committee announced the report
closed it's investigation, Senator
Baker promptly wired Represen-
tative Samuel Dickstein OF New
York suggesting a congressional
inquiry Of the school.
He declared in support of his
charges that the school authorities
are even now sponsoring a red
week" celebration with a program
of speeches in one of the school
buildings by high officials of the
Soviet Government and industry.
Among those who have spoken
or will speak during the week are
Ambassador Alexander A. Troa'
novsky, Amtorg Chairman Ivan V.
Boyeff and VLADIMIR Romm, Spe-
cial correspondent Of the Soviet
organ in Moscow.
Professor Lovett was indicted by
the committee in the following
terms:
"He has pursued an unpatri-
otto course for eight or 10 years.
From the testimony and exhib-
its considered by the committee,
Prof. LOvett is not loyal to the
spirit or the letter of the United
States, or Illinois,"
SUPPORT FAILS
It also mentions the fact that
Prof. I,ovett referred to all gov
ernments, including that of the
United States, as rotten; it cites
his loss of a son during the World
War, recalling his adherence to
the so-called oxford pledge
against taking up arms in case of
war.
The investigation was started
after Charles R. Walgreen, chain
drug store owner, withdrew his
niece from the school and in an
open letter to President Robert
Maynard Hutchins charged she
had been instilled with commun-
ism while at class. While giving
weight to his documentary ex-
hibits, the committee reported
Mr.. Walgreen's oral testimony
failed to support his allegations.
Prof. Schuman drew their
censure for participating in a
campus reception for the 1882
Communist candidate for vice
president, for meeting Communist
presidential candidate William z.
Foster, and for permitting the
use of his name to a document
titled Culture and Crisis"
In the nature of warning the
two senators advised faculty
members and students of the
States colleges and universities
to study the Illinois law on Grim
inal syndicalism, to the end that
the violation of even the spirit of
the law may be avoided.
Mr.. Lovett and Mr.. Schumann
Senator Baker said, are shown by
the testimony first to have partici
pated in the formation of a Chi
cago branch of the National Stu
dents Communist League.

ANOTHER PIONEER PASSES

Death, this time accompanied by trag-
edy, has Tor the second time in a few
days removed another of the pioneers
who were instrumental in shaping the
destiny Of Imperial Valley.
Saturday Charles \. Perry. who first
entered Imperial Valley in 1892. and
later was actively identified with its de-
velopment, died on the coast.
Yesterday George /. Melton, first sec
rotary of the Imperial Irrigation District,
and a strong force in its organization.
died under distressing circumstances, at
Pasadena
Though not so well known as others
Of the early days, Melton, from all ac-
counts, played a leading part in valley
affairs during the turbulent days when
this community was struggling to recov-
er from the disastrous river floods and
set its badly tangled affairs in order
Some who were asked concerning him
yesterday were entirely unable to place
him or describe his activities in the val
ley. the passage Of two decades since his
departure making it difficult to recall
him, something that is not exceptional in
the valley where men come and go so fire.
quently even though they may for a time
be prominently identified with affairs.
The records show that Melton played
a leading part in bringing control of the
water resources back to the people after
the floods of 1906-07 had thrown the old
c. D. company into receivership Con-
troll by the railroad company was not de-
sirable, either to the people or the COM
pany. nor was the receivershin which
followed il. Sentiment in the valley fav-
ored control Of the water resources by
the people.
Whipping that sentiment into active
expression was the job undertaken by
group of leaders of whom George Mel
ton was one. They campaigned up and
down the valley, exhorting the people,
explaining. advising, arguing and some
times practically fighting. They won
their case and the result was the Imper-
ial Irrigation District, which as "The
First Thirty Years" comments, with all
its mistakes has been proved the best or
ganizatiOn for control of the single fact
or that means the life of the valley.
Men differed with Melton on many
things. He left the district after bitter
row with the man at that time in charge
of its legal affairs, and shortly after
ward left the valley. But he left his
mark here and must be credited by those
who came later with the good work he
did. Without valiant fighters and pub
lic-spirited men such as he was, the val
lev might we'll have lost control of Its
greatest asset. BY US he is to be judged
| By what he did for Imperial Valley and
on that basis this community should al
ways have a kindly thought for his
memory.

UNCLE WIGGHY'S JUMPING
BALLOON

Uncle Wiggily was very fond Of
toy balloons. Not that the old rab-
bit gentleman bought them for
himself, though his wife and Nurse
Jane used to say he did. But he
bought them for Baby Bunty and
the other rabbit children who lived
in his hollow stump bungalow.
Red balloons, green ballons, blue
balloons, pink balloons, balloons Of
all colors, Uncle Wiggily bought
every time he saw the Peddler Dog
walking along with big bunch Of
bright rubber balls filled with gas
floating on long strings over his
head.
Uncle Wiggily didn't care much
for the balloons that were only
filled with air-the kind you blow
up with your breath. That kind,
while very light and fluffy, wouldn u
90 up high at all. But the other
balloons Wer filled with gas
which, being lighter than air, lift
ed the colored rubber balls high
above the trees.
If Uncle Wiggily fastened long
enough string to tty gas balloon
it would float above The church
steeple, and this he oftel. cid. Some

PUBLIC M0UNTAIN CAMP

Establishment of summer camp IN
the mountains with SERA funds, which
would eventually become permanent
free camp for needy persons, Is receiv-
ing the attention of Imperial Valley
groups interested in social welfare work.
They have been advised that If public
sentiment is sufficiently strong, authori-
zation for camp of this type can prob
ably be obtained, the work to be done by
persons now on the relief rolls, who
would be transported to the site chosen
for the purpose of constructing the
camp.
It is stated several sites for such a
camp have been investigated and that
choice could probably be made if def
mite expression can be obtained from
representative groups in the valley.
Those interested in the proposition
point out that numerous men, women
and children who at present are unable
to get out of the valley for relief from
summer heat would be able to get va
cation for at least a portion Of the sea-
son if such a camp were advisable.
The idea of a permanent public sum-
mer camp in the mountains is not a new
idea here. 1t has been discussed for the
past two or three years, particularly by
the original county emergency relief
commission.
There are arguments for and against
the proposition which would probably
cause considerable debate, but it is point
ed out that Orange, Los Angeles and
other counties have public camps where
citizens may go for their vacations
The local case is not exactly parallel, in
asmuch as a camp such as is proposed
here would have to be outside the limits
of the county, condition that might
cause some difficulty.
However, if a sufficient number of
valley residents can be convinced that
camp would be desirable, the present
seems the logical time, with SER.A funds
and labor possible available, to make a
start on the project. Service clubs civic
organizations and officials might do
we'll to investigate the idea.
