Professor Honored
 For Attack On Legion
Teachers College of Columbia University Applauds
 Criticism of Veterans Group-LegiOn Fascistic

Legion was "reactionary" pressure organization bent on intoxicating the middle class with the doctrines of Fascism and war.
 The survey, entitled "the Amer ican Legion as educator" appeared as No. TAB in the contribution to education" series sponsored by Teachers College. The college awarded Professor Gellermann a doctor of philosophy degree for the work. The monograph, prepared under the supervision of Professor George s. Counts of Teachers Col lege, carried sweeping indictment of nearly all phases of legion &C., tivity.
 Attacks Tenets
 It attacked the legion specifically for its educational, economic and political tenets and activities and sought to show by an analysis of its genesis, that 1t was both Fascist and unpatriotic and that it was used by the privileged classes" as militant medium through which to indoctrinate average Americans against constitutional progress.
 Criticizing the "entente cordiale" between the schools and the legion, Professor Gellermann wrote:
 Leaders of American public edu- cation should recognize that the American Legion stands, in effect, opposed to such American ideals as democracy, civil liberties and equal ity of opportunity, upon whice American education is founded American educators should do everything in their power to thwart the influence of the Legion wher- ever it seeks to interfere with or control the schools, by indicating how narrow and unenlightened are its purposes"
 Emancipation
 A World War veteran said he was "gratified" to the National Educa- tional Association only one in every four ex-service men was Legion naire. He asked the N. E. A. to de- clare its emancipation" from the organization of entrenched busi- ness and military interests" and charged that the legion sought to develop in American youth "an theology which protects the class interests the legion represents"
 The survey purported to show that the reaction" of the legion was the result of pressure brought by "the few" at the top.
