VFW Asks Dirksen
For Textbook Probe

The Veterans of Foreign Wars OF
the District announced today they
had requested Chairman Dirksen OF
the House District Committee for a
general investigation of the civic
social science and United States
history textbooks used in the public
schools.
The VFW said this new request
was based on "the discovery by the
VFW of six of the so-called Rugg
textbooks being on the approved
list of school books and the use of
Building Citizenship pro-Com-
munist book in the public schools at
the present time" Harold Rugg
author, is a professor at Columbia
University.
A House District subcommittee
headed by Representative Miller,
Republican, of Nebraska, will hold
another meeting January Is on the
question of textbooks.

Deportation Hearing
Arranged Tomorrow
For Greek Reporter
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-The immi-
grafton and Naturalization Service
of the Justice Department an
nounced today it will conduct a
hearing tomorrow to determine
whether Nicolas Kyriazidis, Greek
newspaperman accredited to the
United Nations, is subject to de-
portation.
The announcement by w. F.. Wat
kins, district director of the service,
said Kyriazidis was arrested here
December II under an immigration
warrant charging "his belief and
membership in and afflliation with
an organization advising, advocating
and teaching the overthrow by force
and violence of the Government Of
the United States"
Kyriazidis now is held at Ellis
Island in default of $1,000 bail.
Accredited After Arrival.
He was accredited to the U. N.
after his arrival here last June as
correspondent for several Greek
newspapers, among them RHO
pastis," the official organ of the
Communist Party in Greece, which
was suppressed by Greek author
tiles october 18.
Although immigration authorities
would not be quoted on the case, 1t
was reported that Kyriazidis was
arrested on the assumption that he
| lost his U. N. status when the news
papers he represented were sup
pressed by the Greek government.
Party Membership Concealed.
At Washington, the State Depart
ment said today it offered no OBJ
lection to the mans arrest and de-
tention.
Reginald Mitchell, press officer,
said the neWspaperman got permis-
sion to enter the United States by
concealing membership in the Com
munist party when he applied for q
visitors visa in Europe.
After he arrived in the United
States, Mr.. Mitchell said, the State
Department discovered he was a
Communist but made no move to
eject him because he had in the
meantime been accredited by the
United Nations secretariat.
Since two newspapers he formerly
represented have gone out of bus
mess, Mr.. Mitchell said, the writer
now claims he represents two weekly
newspapers. The State Department
is inclined to doubt this, he said,
because neither of the newspapers
mentioned is wealthy enough to af-
ford special correspondents in New

his book Building Citizenship% He
recently denied, in hearing before
the committee, that his book was
irreligious and communistic as
charged by the VFW. School au-
thorities have investigated the book
and continued it's use in the schools
The new .VFW request to Mr.
Drksen came from Charles S. Sui
livan, jr., chairman of the Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
District VFW.
Mr.. Sullivan said "it was unex-
plainable that after 10 years o1
being on the approved list, the
school authorities recommended the
withdrawal of the Rugg books only
after the VFW had called attention
of the Miller Committee to the use
of these books in the public schools
in the District"

The other day we drove to the
beach for oysters. With the sea-
son drawing to a close, we thought
one last feast would be enjoyable
before waiting for the r-months to
roll around again.
And as we drove back to town,
we glanced at the bushel of oysters
in the back seat and could not
help but compare them to the at
titude of lot of people.
There they were, heaped to-
gether, mountain of tightly clos
ed shells, their delicacy locked in
side, hard cold ugly rock-like
coating faced to the world.
And we considered how much
like oysters are a lot of people in
this world. And, looking at it from
another angle, how much like an
oyster is the world.
Even being a fish would be bet
ter than being an oyster. Fish move
about, observing the scenery, tray
cling with other fish. Just what
impression all this makes on a
fish's mind is hard to conclude.
But at least fish has eyes to see.
But oysters are mere Jumps of
matter, cringing within shell,
peeking out occasionally to snatch
some smaller victim for meal,
then swapping shut.
There are a lot of people in
this world here, in Tabor City, for
that matter, who can be compared
to fish and oysters.
The fish type move around a
bit, coming to town occasionally,
chatting on street corners. Per-
haps what they see and hear
makes some impression on their
minds, but they give no sign of it.
Like fish, they seemed drearily
resigned to their inevitable fate of
ending up in skillet.
But the most pitiful sort of per-
son is the oyster type. He lives
locked in his own private world.
What happens in front of his
house or on the next farm does
not concern him He's got his own
troubles, he says, and no time for
the heartaches of anyone else.
Land to him is just so much
acreage to raise his tobacco or
strawberries. He measures people
by their working capacity. He is
absolutely devoid of charity, kind
ness, and affection. When he is
approached to aid, either with his
muscles or his bank book, on some
civic improvement, he snaps him
self shut.
What has a paved street in some
other part of town got to do with
him, he asks. What, he demands,
help a family stricken with misfor.
tuner: charity begins at home. And
all this business about establishing
scholarship fund for deserving
high school students is just sc
much Stiffness to him.
The oyster-type man Is dead
and doesn't know it.
