HARVARD HELPS
 OUT LOYALISTS

Boston, July 8. = (UP) - Charges that Harvard University was violat- ing the law by indirectly sending aid to the loyalist government of Spain were prepared today for pre- sentation to Attorney General Paul A. Dever.
 State Senator Thomas M. Burke (democra) Boston, 8 member of the special legislative commission to investigate "communits, nazi, fascist and other subversive activities, " brought the charges.
 Burke yesterday demanded "a direct answer" from Secretary of State Frederick w. Cook on whether the state could act if Harvard's con- nection with the fund were proven. Cook directed Burke to present any such evidence to Dever for action. Burke said 1t was "a matter of pulp lie record" that Harvard, through faculty and students. was connect ed with fund f.: medical aid to the loyalists."
 Professor Walter B. Cannon of Harvard said the $1,600-fund never was turned over to the loy- alist government. It was used strictly for Humanitarian purposes. |" Denial that "any Harvard University funds were involved" came from Secretary Jerome D. Green of the Harvard Corporation.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER Waterbury Democrat Washington
 COrreSpOndent

Correspondent
 Washington, July 8.-The White House press conference probably is an institution unique in the world. At least, in no other foreign capital do correspondents stand up twice week and fire questions at Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, the king or prime minister of England or whoever else the top big shot may be.
 The new style press conference --it's four years old now - is ROosevelt'S own. Coolidge and Hoover used to have a system whereby you wrote your questions and slipped them to 8 secretary. The president picked out the ones he felt like answering and ig- nOred the rest. Roosevelt, how ever, decided he would submit to verbal questions and give direct answers, information for back ground or strictly of the record" replies.
 This method is a good thing for Roosevelt and a good thing for the correspondents. But it is not without flaws. Obviously the president has to depend on him. self to avoid answering certain questions-just as Coolidge and Hoover managed to avoid answers but not acknowledging the in- quiries.
 Lost in Laughter
 Sometimes Roosevelt says he doesn't want to or isn't ready to an- Bwer a question, that he doesn't know the answer, that he hasn't ready the statement, report or news paper story to which the questioner refers, that the question is an ''if question, or that the question is best answered by another question which he thereupon propounds.
 Sometimes he says something quite irrelevant and starts laugh ing, whereupon most correspond ents join in and the question is lost in the laughter which sweeps the room.
 Occasionally the question is

third term nomination if it were offered. Back in 1927 newsmen kept slipping written questions to Cool idge asking If he were a candidate for renomination. Coolidge ignored them consistently. Then one day the fellows ganged up and each individually wrote the same ques- tion and saw to it there wasn't another in the pile.
 Coolidge turned them over, one after another, until he reached the end of them. And then he be- gan a 15-minute rambling disqui- sition on the subject-unless this writer's memory fails of tetle- phone rates in the District of Co., lumbia. The correspondents were glad to get away from there when he finished. Of course eventually Coolidge was smoked out to the point of asserting that T do not choose to run"
 The Ounce Cap Incident
 Roosevelt was asked three pointed questions about his own third-term thoughts. Seldom are correspond ents so persistent in putting him on the spot.
 The first was as to whether he had any comment on Governor Earle's endorsement of Roosevelt for 1940. He merely shook his head.
 The second was. a fiat. one Would he, if offered it, accept re- nomination in 194O?
 My gawd, how hot the weather isl" correspondents seemed to hear him say, and then: You go over in the corner and get dunce cap and stand with your back to the rest of the boys"
 But then the first correspond ent came back and asked if the situation were covered by the February Victory Dinner speech in which Roosevelt said he wanted to turn the country over to his suc- cessor in 1941 in better shape than it was when Buchanan handed it to Lincoln. Roosevelt then made his second dunce cap nominat ton.
 Resent Picture Edict
 The two correspondents joined the general laughter. MT. Roosevelt is usually conceded the right to razz at these conferences-or even to fib if he does 1t only to duck a ques- tion, not misinform. Just the same there's certain restraint in ques- tioning, inspired by the average correspondents desire not to te criticized by colleagues or to "get in wrong" at the White House. This has nothing to do with the "Roose- welt charm" which attracts some news men, is ignored by many and definitely annoyS others.
 Much more resentment has been
 caused by White House Press Sec
 retary Steve Early's order to
 Secret Service men to keep-tem-
 porarily-certain cameramen from
 photographing the President, than
 by anything that has happened at
 press conference.
 The cameramen are those of Acme Newspictures and Associated Press, which distributed photos taken by ' congressman at the Jefferson Island party. Early had said no newspaper pictures were to be taken there and thinks his edict was def1ed. On the same principle, Early might punish certain newspapermen who wrote about something Early didn't want disclosed. Protests are resounding in the Early ears.
