Negro students from Virginia

The student guests were housed

(ANP)-White citizens of Lynch
burg who have the backing of
other whites we're reported last
week to have requested an inves-
tigation of Lynchburg college for
evidences of communist activities.
The basis of the demand is a row
which was caused last February
when some white students of the
college danced with students from
Virginia State college during a
session on racial problems.
When reports of the dance
spread among white citizens and
members of the colleges board Of
trustees an official investigation
was held and DR.. Riley B. Mont

and sponsors of the i%nterracial
conference were given a clean bill.

that he hoped that if a check of
faculty members and students were
made it would end the widespread

the campus harbors "red sympath-
izers."

''The Iron Curtain"

The Montgomery County Wal
lace for President committee to-
day issued a leaflet to 200 civic
and church leaders urging them
to protest against the film "The
Iron Curtain" which opens here
at a downtown theater Thursday.
This is the same film which when
opened at the Roxy theater in
New York last week was the cause
of picketing on the part of those
protesting it.
The film has been accused of
war mongering in violation of a
United Nations resolution against
it. Several ayton ministers re-
quested a preview of the picture
so that they could obtain advance
information in order to decide
what, if any action should be
taken with their congregations.
They were refused the privilege.
According to the ~leaflet, five
bishops of the Protestant Episco-
pal church have protested the film
as tending "to increase the at
mosphere of national hysteria
leading us down the road to war"
The bishops are: Rt. Rev. Lane
w. Barton, Oregon; Rt. Rev. FL

thur T. Moulton, Salt Lake City
