NesO High Found
In Race Relations

To the Editor Of The Times:
The big fights of recent months
served to put American fair play
to the test. That ts:ranShip
won, was a victory for America.
Race relations went forward to
a new high. Men controlled the
use Of hate making, stereotyped
invectiveS.
America is proving the lie Of
Hitler's charges. An army Of
sports writer's, well trained and
free, wrote with no venom in their
pens. Despite snobbish intelI1-
gentSia, the great mass Of leaders
and followers Of our emotional
peoples emerged victorious over
traditional prejudiceS.
The day may come when the
modern OlympiadS will serve to

vastating workout" than a war

Constitution, under the pro-
visions Of the Teachers Oath
bill, recently enacted by the

dropped Immediately from the
faculty, President James Bryant
Conant declared today.
His statement made 1t almost
q certainty that an open break
will soon be evident in the Har-
ward ranks, with the president and
his loyalistS on one side and Prof.
Kirtley Mather and supporters on
the other.
VIII Make Test
Prof. Mather, head Of the Har-
ward geology department and &C.
ologiSt Of international fame. this
week announced publicly he would
not sign the oath and would make
a test case and that he would
carry his fight into the courts If
necessary.
In his statement. President
Conant said:
"The teacher'c oath act makes
it mandatory for the tnStitu-
tiOnS concerned mot to permit
any citizen to teach who fails
to carry out the provisions Of
this act, and Harvard UniVer.

Sees Both Sides:
FdUors Pedestrians

To the Editor Of The Times:
AS a motorist and pedestrian, I
want to congratulate you most
heartily on the editorial in your
issue of September %. anent the
proposals of traffic officials to
regulate pedestrians.
I agree with your conclusions
in toto. First. see that the pedeS-
trian gets a halfway break be-
fore talking about regulating him.
It might be a good idea for some
Of these officials to drive around
where traffic is heavy and see
just how little consideration the
pedestrian gets from the average
motoriSt and hear the chorus OF
"honks" from other drivers when
one does stop to give a pedestrian
a chance-then let them make up
their minds on the matter of
regulation.
