Threaten gag for teachers
School board
gets rightist

w. Homer Hartz, spokes-
man for one of the most
dangerous organizations in
America, this week was in
stalled as member of the
Board of Education.
Hartz has admitted that he
is treasurer of American Action,
Inc, which was formed by
American fascists seeking to
preserve property rights and ig-
noring human rights" according
to Rep. Wright Patman Cd,
Texas.
1t was expected that Hartz,
along with two other new ap-
pointees, would take his place
officially on the school board
Wednesday.
WILLIAM B. TRAYNoR. vice
president and treasurer of the
anti-labor Swift & Co., was
slated for selection as head of
the school board, it was reported
at City Hall.
The appointment of Hartz was
confirmed by the City Council
earlier despite vigorous protests
from five aldermen.
The opposition was led by
Aid. Benjamin NJ. Becker (4Oth),
who denounced Hartz' connection
with American Action, which
Becker implied has been one of
the outfits encouraging "all this
witch-hunting for the last few
years.
1T WAS contradictory, Becker
added, to appoint to the school
board a director of the u. S.
Chamber of Commerce, which is
on record as favoring lower edu-
cational expenditures and less
federal aid to local schools.
The city's schools need money
from any source they can get

is more interested in lower taxes
than in education for our young
people,"

anti-Negro member, leaped to his
feet to red-bait Becker, whom
he accused of having made "a

Red scare at
Sem High

Ok0AClAlo dilQ LCdCIlGIS dI
public schools across the city
this week rallied to the de-
Tense of Miss Emile M. Noack,
Sem High civics teacher, who
was under attack by the red
batting Herald-American.
At the same time reactionaries
carried forward their plans to
use the smear of Miss Noack as
a pretext for purging all liberal
thought from the schools.
At stake were the city's thous-
ands of school children. If the
witch-hunt were successful, the
reactionaries were prepared to
fit the children's minds into
Strait-jacket.
NEWS of the Herald-Ameri-
cans front-page smear of Miss
Noack, who was accused of "sub-
versive" teaching, first reached
Sem High at noon Monday, when
students read the article on their
lunch hour.
Less than an hour after classes
resumed. a group of senior stu
dents prepared a petition, which
they circulated within the stu
dent body, denouncing the Hearst
paper.
Soon other petitions, some
drawn up by students, others by
teachers, were circulating through
the school, expressing sympathy
and support for Miss Noack, one
of the best liked teachers at the
school.
CRANE Tech and other public
schools followed suit Tuesday.
The Chicago Teachers Union
tAFD, headed by John M.
Fewkes, announced that it had
supplied free legal counsel to
Miss Noack to protect her against
any formal action.
Although Fewkes could not be
reached by The Star by mid
week, sources close to him re-
ported that he was incensed at
the Herald-American's unjusti-
fled smear.
The union will take any steps
necessary TO aid Miss Noack. The
Star was told.
REAL danger of the witch
hunt was the possibility that it
might brighten some teachers into
abandoning open discussion of
controversial current events.
Since the "cold war" began,
one Sem High teacher pointed
out to The Star, civics, history,
and social science instructors
have been forced to tread cauti-
ously, lest reactionaries accuse
them-as Miss Noack was ac-
cused-of preaching commun-
ism"
After the Herald-American
opened up on Miss Noack, Sem
High literature teacher, preparing
to lead class discussion on Rus
sian writing, inquired of her stu
dents:
DO YoG think it's wise of us

10 discuss the Russians two days
in a row?"
THAT was the fear that the
reactionaries, spearheaded by the
Hearst press, had hoped to arouse.
To press the purge" the City
Council schools committee began
considering resolution urging
an Investigation" of the Herald
Americans claim that "Com-
munist party line propaganda"
was being taught in the schools.
AT the same time Bernard
Majewslci. oil company executive
and member of the school board.
announced that he would again
urge the board of probe Red
teaching" in the schools.
ON April % Majewski had pro-
posed such an investigation" but
the other board members had
turned down his suggestion, on
the grounds that the public would
consider it "a witch-hunt en-
dangeringl acadamic freedom"
At that time Superintendent
Herold c. Hunt expressed oppo-
sition to Majewski's proposal, on
the grounds that there was no
Justification for a, "Red hunt"
which could only result in plac-
ing the schools and the teachers
under cloud of suspicion. This
week he indicated that his atti-
tude had not changed.
A book-burning had been ex-
pected for some time, especially
after the Tribune sent a copy of
its pamphlet, Propaganda in US.
School Books" to almost all non
teaching employees Of the Board
of Education, apparently in an
attempt to encourage accusations
against teachers.
ONE of the authorities" on
Red" school books and teachers
cited by the Tribune was Ken
meth Golf, notorious associate of
extreme rightists.
Even the Tribune was forced
TO admit that The has been aid
ing Gerald L. K. Smith in some
of his Wisconsin appearances"
Golf, who attempted to purge"
the public schools of Delavan,
Wis, just a few weeks ago, was
in Denver, Colo, recently when
Stephen Nenoff attacked the
public schools there.
Was there a pattern linking the
Denver and Delavan witch hunts
TO the new Chicago k-hurn-
ing?
That was question that
needed an answer.
