EDUCATORS DENY
EVEN BEING PINK
Vigorously Assai| Charge
Character Education Is
C0mmuniStiC.

Vigorous denial that character edu
cation in the public schools is linked
with communism, or that educators
consulted about it have communistic
tendencies, was made by witnesses
at the Senate hearing on the 1887
local appropriation bill, released yes
terday.
The House committee, In ellminat-
ing funds for character education,
contended in its report that the pro-
gram is connected with the question
Of communism in the schools.
DR.. w. w. Charters of Ohio State
University, consultant on the char
acter education movement, told the
Senators he has never been in Russia,
that he never expects to lecture there
and is opposed to communism. He
concluded his statement as follows:
When red hunters are searching
for red targets they should not pick
out one that is not even light pink .
Mann Gives Background.
DR.. Charles r. Mann, American
SOuiiSiA VA GooSoeAoAi' WIN eAAS oSAAoeS
Subcommittee he also had been
branded a Communist because he had
served as a member of an American
committee to establish friendly rela-
tions with the University Of Moscow.
To show his background, DR.. Mann
testified his great-great-grandfather
was at the Battle of Bunker Hill, that
his father fought with the Union
Army in the Civil War and that in
the World War he was called in by
Evening star., 1936-04-23

the War Department to help carry out
that part of the national defense act
which sought to help soldiers to pre-
after leaving the service.
After DR.. Charters had been ques-
toned at length about the purposes Of
character education, Senator Glass,
Democrat, of Virginia, told him:
Whether agree with your theories
or disagree, am perfectly convinced
that no man who looks like you can be
q red or Communist"
Marvin's Letter in Record.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education, de-
MED there is any connection between
character education work and the in
PRODUCTION of Communistic tendencies
in the schools. Mrs. Doyle placed in
the record a letter from DR.. Cloyd
H. Marvin, president of George WASH
ington University, in support Of con-
tinuing the character education pro-
gram for the coming fiscal year.
Henry I. Quinn, another school
board member, urged increased funds
for community center activities as well
as continuation of character educa-
ton, emphasizing that recreational
facilities are factor in character
education.
The Senate hearinsg also contain
q statement from Gen. Amos A. Fries,
president of the District Public School
Association, reiterating arguments
presented to the House against further
expenditure of funds for the char
acter education experiment, and sup
porting the rider in the current ap-
preparation act which forbids teach
ing or advocating of communism in
the schools. The association, he
stated, favors additional funds for
teachers and improved school facili-
ties.

When you're playing 8 contract of six spades, and an opponent deliberately leads away from the ace, giving you a trick with the king, it would appear that you have reason to be thankful.
 That's what E. M. Cheronnet Of New York thought, when in a re- cent duplicate game at the Knick- erbocker Whist Club just that thing happened to him.
 His appreciation of the kindness of his opponent did not last long, however, when he found that he wounld have been much happier had the pesky ace been cashed. The gift horse, or rather gift trick, was not such prize, after all.

South, hcweva.'. ,.iI had plen- ty to do. He led the king of spades, then the ten, which East covered. When West failed to follow suit, 'Cheronnet saw that apparently he had to lose trump trick. v
 He cashed "A the ace and king of diamonds, then ruffed a daimond. and now took the finesse of the heart jack. When this held, he led dummy's last diamond and ruffed, reducing his trumps to two.
 Now a heart was led to the king and g low heart returned. East refused to trump.
 South now felt safe. He took the ace and led his last heart, which West won. But South took the last two tricks and fulfilled his contract.
