COLLEGE CRITICS
HELD FASCIST
is g. Auh1Uulu ~
Ickes in Howard U. Address
Calls for Preserving of
Academic Freedom.

Vigorously demanding preservation
Of academic freedom, Secretary of In
terror Ickes today linked criticism Of
the administrations brain trust"
with what he called Fascist" asser-
tions that certain colleges and uni
versities are favoring the principles
Of communism.
1ckes spoke before the faculty and
students of Howard University, cele-
brating Charter day.
He did not mention the "red rider
in the District appropriation bill,
but he protested against keeping
students in "abysmal darkness" on
the subject Of communism.
Fascist Forces Blamed.
The same sinister forces seeking to
establish q Fascist state on free
American soil," Ickes warned, are
back of these assaults on academic
freedom.
Howard University, which is under
supervision of the Interior Depart
ment, was one of the universities
subjected to attacks last Summer for
permitting a speaker to discuss COM
munistic doctrines at one of its aca-
demic sessions.
IF an alien form of government
is the menace that We believe 1t is
then, instead of keeping the students
in our educational institutions In
abysmal darkness on the subject, we
ought to prepare their interests and
intelligences to grapple with it by the
fullest possible exposition of its de-
fects and fallacies," Secretary Ickes
said.
ut Is to be regretted if we feel
so little sure of the firmness of the
foundations upon which this America
of ours rests that we are fearful that
they will be undermined by false
theories, especially if the error that
threatens them has been thoroughly
exposed.
Must Learn All About Enemy.
"If we are in peril Of the enemy
either within or without our gates,
tllCIl Ill oil SOON COIlSClClACC 1CO Nc
learn what manner of enemy it is
what is the nature of this attack, and
what is the best means of meeting
that attack"
Quoting from the late Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes of the United State:
Supreme Court, Secretary Ickes de-
clared that academic freedom is 9
constitutional right which much bt
preserved.
THE preservation of academic free.
DOM" Ickes added, the maintenance
of the civil liberties guaranteed in thu
Constitution, out of which the right
of academic freedom grows. Is o.
extraordinary importance to this Ma.
ton at this time"
Ickes was introduced by DR.
Mordecai johnson, president O.
Howard University. Rev. Prof. w. Y
Bell pronounced the invocation aftel
the academic procession opening to-
days ceremonies. Howard University
was founded 50 years ago.

TWO MONTGOMERY
FAMILIES SAVED
G. Edward AItemus, Promi.
nent in Realty, Finds Chill
dren Overcome by Gas.

The family of G. Edward Altemus,
socially prominent and we'll known in
Capital real estate circles, narrowly
escaped death by asphyxiation when
a broken furnace pipe discharged coal
gas fumes into the bed rooms in which
members Of the family were asleep on
the Altemus estate near Potomac, Md,
early today.
Altemus, an official of the H. L. Rust
Co. awoke in daze to find the house
filled with gas and discovered his two
daughters-Shirley, 8 years old, and
Ann, sand their governess, Miss
Ann La Rue. 81, unconscious In their
rooms nearby.
His wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Altemus,
was not affected, police said.
Phones Police for Help.
The realtor, groggy from effects Of
the gas, made his way to telephone
and called Montgomery County police
at Rockville for help. Members Of
the Rockville fire rescue squad re-
sponded and revived the victims with
the aid Of inhalators
DR.. William F. Burdick Of Chevy
Chase then was called to the home
and he ordered the two daughters re-
moved to Children's Hospital for fur
ther attention after he also had ad-
ministered first aid. It was reported
that their condition is not serious.
The Altemus family Is we'll known
in Washington business circles, where
the realtors father, the late George C..
Altemus, for many years conducted
the knickerbocker Market at Eight
zenith street and Columbia road.
Other relatives also were in business
here.
Four in Home Overcome.
Escape of the Altemus family had
its counterpart in another Montgom-
cry County mishap in which four per-
sons were overcome in an identical
manner. They. too, were revived by
the Rockville Rescue Squad.

ring to the communism question as
pretty. dumb"
Chester w. Holmes, head Of the
Vocational Guidance Association, said
teachers frankly omit all reference to
communism in the class rooms.
Insult to Teachers.
"A gratutious insult" to teachers,
John c. Bruce of the Columbian Ed
ucational Association, characterized
the rider.
Until the rider was enacted, Bruce
said, no question on the subject was
ever asked him, but now he has been
asked questions which he must refuse
to answer.
The District of Columbia Educa-
tional Association asked for repeal lin
justice to the children If not in justice
to the teachers" Miss Helen e.
Samuel spoke for the association.
Miss Selma Borchardt of the Teach
ers' Union spoke for the Central Labor
Union which sometime ago voted to
oppose the rider. She objected to the
| dictatorship of the Government at
tempting to determine contents OF
texts to be taught in the schools.
She contended the School Board has
that duty and should carry it out.
Miss Borchardt was the last wit
ness before the noon recess.

he returned fro ma Florida vacation
last Tuesday.
The reported theft Of certain papers
from the rooms of Dwight Morrow.

bergh, it was said. might be a topic
of discussion at the conference.
Legislative Debate Seen.
Morrow. graduate student at
Harvard, told police one Of the papers
stolen contained the itinerary of his
mother, who is travelling in Europe.
Meantime, reliable sources said, q
sharp debate over the Hauptmann case
appeared on the verge of breaking
loose on the floor Of the New Jersey

The threat Of legislative debate
appeared in the wake of reports by
some supporters Of Gov. Harold G.

licly told Schwarzkopf the Lindhergh

Storm May Break.
Should the administration withhold

titled with q Republican faction op-
posed to the Governors fiscal poll
cies, would continue Schwarzkopf in
office until his successor is confirmed.
