240,000 FIGHT
COMMUNISM
IN COLLEGES

NEW YORK, March U.S0
The intercollegiate organizations
of America, 100000 strong, have
launched an aggressive movement
against radical groups seeking to
gain control Of student organiza-
tions in American colleges and
universities.
Harold r. Moskovit, president
Of the national body. made up Of
students, former students and
graduates, says, in letter to the
New York American:
II want to assure you that
this organization Of 100000 stu
dents and graduates is behind
your paper and MIR. Hearst in
their remarkable fight against
Communism in our UNIVERSE
ties"
Students and graduates from
colleges in As State will gather in
Washington, D. c., on March %,
to set up a powerful District OF
Columbia branch Of the organiza-
ton and draft a program for com.
batting the activities Of Com
munistS and other radical ele'
mentS.
Explaining how the student or
ganization functions. Mr.. Mos
kovit said:
"Where q college has q stu
dent body already formed, we
bring them into the national
body. This is a more effective
method than organizing q new
association. We now have affili-
ated groups in As States and
our membership includes law.
yers, doctors, judges, business
executives and many educa-
tors"
In recent months, the student
groups have been tricked, Mr.
Moskovit said, into sending repre-
sentatives to so-called youth con
ferences, to engage in symposiums
on current social and political
problems. These conferences
which seem to be legitimate on the
surface, later were found to be
dominated by Communists,
Students in the intercollegiate
organization are schooled in thu
principles of the organization's
platform, which says, among othe1
things:
1--WE believe in the funda-
mental law of the land, the
Constitution of the United
States; we believe that the
American people is deserving Of
the best form of government,
the democratic form Of govern
ment.
1T is our desire to keep the
college youth from turning radi-
cal and urge them to united
efforts for constructive work.
"The educated people should
demand o voice in planning the
nations educational systems.
They should demand q Secre-
tary of Education in the Presi-
dents Cabinet"

DISPUTE Up
AGAIN TODAY

Members of the Senate appro-
priations subcommittee on the
Treasury-Post office supply bill
were to meet late today for further
consideration of Secretary Nor
genthau's request for funds to pay
the back salaries Of the 1870
employees whose pay was estopped
by the Mcclellan patronage rider.
Most of the members appeared
to have remained open minded
on the issue following the oral
tiff which took place in the execu-
tive subcommittee meeting sAtur.

and Senator Kenneth F. Mcclellan
Cd of Tennessee, author Of the
controversial rider.
Will Study Data
At todays meeting the sub
committee will scan the additional
data which they requested from
Secretary Morgenthau, relative to
the methods used in selecting the
employees affected when taken into
the Treasury Department.
According to members of the
committee it was brought out
Saturday that when the depart
nent wanted additional men the
Civil Service Commission was
asked to submit a list Of eligibles;
that about $500 names were sub
United, and that the Treasury
Department chose employees who
had served in the old prohibition
bureau of alcoholic beverage unit
of the Department of Justice.
Examine Records
Some of them seemed to feel
that this may have been an
improper procedure, and there.
fore desire to examine the records
to determine whether this course
was justified.
Senator Mcclellan contends
that the employees should have
been required to pass another
Civil Service examination, as pro-
vided in his rider. Secretary
Morgenthau argued that with
scarcely an exception all of the
employees affected were originally
recruited through regular civil
service channels, and by virtue
Of passing competitive examina'
tons. He said prior experience
under the Department of Justice
made them the most valuable
for the requirements Of the
