WARNS0F THREATS
TO CITIZEN RIGHTS
Head of Sons of American
Revolution Calls for
Vigilance.

Pointing to the breakdown Of par
liamentary forms Of government
throughout the world" and to GER
tain recent changes in this country,
Messmore Kendall. President General
Of the Sons OF the American Revolu-
ton, yesterday warned there was i'm
minent danger of losing the priceless
guarantees Of liberty contained in the
Constitution and the Bill Of Rights
which Washington did so much to
create"
He sounded q call during . radio
address under auspices Of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, for
awakening of the good old American
spirit" Of the forefathers to guard
against danger of Communism,
Fascism, Nazism or any other form
OF collectivism" He warned of the
possibility Of an American dictator.
The speaker charged there was an
assault on Our constitutional liber-
ties" Abroad, he declared. consti-
tutional liberties are rapidly being
lost.
Some Lost by Negligence.
During the last 20 years We have
seen these rights, one by one, lost
or denied to people of nations across
the ocean," he said, some taken by
violence, some lost by negligence.
"Our own guarantees have not been
suspended in bloc yet. but" he
warned. "by process of attrition many
of them are becoming emasculated
and in danger of extinction"
The National Labor Relations
Board, he said, had taken steps lead
ing to extinction of the right OF
free press as embodied in the First
Amendment by inquisitory proceed
ings against an editor in st. Mary's,
Pa" Sitdown strikers, he declared
violated guarantees Of the Fifth
Amendment to the right Of life, lib
erty and property.
A Senate committee, he charged
had violated the Fourth Amendment
through unreasonable search and
seizure Of citizens papers," And now
he said, there were rumors Of the
violation of a citizens privacy by the
compelling of the listing Of all cap
ital assets of certain individual citi-
zens for inspection by bureaucrats
probably preliminary to form
of confiscation as has been seen
abroad"
Threats in Pending Bills.
Among bills for Constitutional
amendments now pending. the speaker
said, many are designed in some way
to deprive you Of your liberties"
UNFOLDING "individualism" as the
democratic idea Of equal opportunity
for all, . fairly equal division of in
come and political equality of all citi-
zens," Mr.. Kendall declared neither
q collective or regimented government
nor q despotic government can func-
ton with the Constitutions guaran-
tees outstanding and enforced"
1.-THE breakdown Of parliamentary
forms Of government throughout the
world In the past decade" he charged,
should serve as q warning to the
American people that any weakening
Of the fundamental law under present
critical conditions Is an invitation to
the Fascist, Nad or Communist agi-
tator to arouse social discord and
incite class antagonism for the pur-
mse of seizing control Of the United
States and putting . dictator ut the

TEACHER OPPOSE
BOARD POWER CUT
High School Association Also
Protests Elimination of
Librarians.

The High School Teachers Associa-
ton announced today q set of reso-
1utions opposing any decrease in the
power Of the Board Of Education over
the school system, coordination of
recreation under the board, If uni
fication is necessary. and elimination
Of the appropriation bill rider relating
to school librarians.
The group, an organization Of 361
high school teachers in Divisions 1-9,
lamented the suffering Of District cit
izens from legislative riders, citing
the current rider to the health CEN
ter item which recently caused a mis-
understanding between the board and
the District Commissioners regarding
control of school custodians.
The library rider in the 1899 bin to
which the group raises objection stip-
ulates that the average Of the SAL
aries paid Librarians in the public
schools shall not exceed the average
Of salaries paid employees performing
the same grade of work in the Free
Public Library"
The association declared the school
librarian salaries are prescribed along
with those of other school employees
in the basic law for School Board en-
ployes' salaries. The resolution further
quotes DR.. George F. Bowerman of
the Public Library that mo positions
in the Public Library" are sufficiently
close to the duties and responsible
ties Of school librarians to form .
basis for comparison in the matter Of
salaries"
The motion further declares the
Board of Education and school ON
cials are opposed to the rider as de-
structive to the morale of those az
fected.
Regarding recreation, the organiza-
ton declared recreation might prop
erly be considered An extension Of the
physical education system Of the
schools and therefore should be un-
der school control.
