stories began to appear in the Buffalo
press about all unnamed teacher in
an unnamed school who was teaching
'subversive doctrines" Miss Du-
shane's attorney, who had represented
her in the previous hearing, pressed
| for a new investigation and demanded
that the case be brought out in the
open.
School Supt. Robert Bapst con-
Quoted the investigation and again
Miss Dushane was cleared of the
charges. But this time it was found
that despite her % years in the public
school system, Miss Dushane had be-
come an inefficient" teacher. On
November 20 the superintendent made
ia recommendation which the board
imm ediately passed, that Miss Du-
shane be given a choice between a
7-month sick leave and an examina-
ton by physician chosen by the
board.
Under protest and on the advice of
her lawyer, she took the sick leave
even though it meant loss of $1,000
in salary. She demanded that she be
acquainted with the charges against
her, that she be given the opportunity
to confront her accusers, cross-ex-
anime them under oath and subpoena
witnesses to testify in her behalf.
AdoIph Would Have Approved
Of This
Her requests have been consistent
ly denied by the school board, al
though it subsequently forced the
principal to go on sick leave, too. |
THE fact that it's actions are con-
doesn't bother the board"
Chairman Barton Bean of the Buffalo |
Committee to Defend American Edu-
:ation told Federated Press.
Bean, an instructor at the Univer-
'ity of Buffalo, presented Miss Du-
hane's case to panel on academic
reedom at Teachers Union (CIO)
conference in New York April IT,
The following day he was denounced
n the Buffalo press by a school board
lember for Tending help to those
Tho prefer a Russian form of govern
lent to the American type"
Miss Dushane, who has filed suit
gainst the board of education for
er reinstatement, is being supported /
J her fight by the local AFL and {
10 teachers unions, the Buffalo la d
Or movement and civic organizations.

lecture by Pm editorial writer Max

made to a class in economic citizen
ship during Bill of Rights week. She
was quoted as saying: "The Bill Of

Helena Not Only Place Where
Intimidation Is Attempted
The school board completely exon
Grated Miss Dushane and reprimanded

ing school term Miss Dushane and her
students were subjected to a cam
paign of intimidation and spying,
which included anonymous letters
warning that she was being watched
by the FBL Packages of excrement
were sent her through the mails with
unprintable inscriptions
The spying became evident when
one student, who borrowed copy of
PM from Miss Dushane was con-
verged on by three teachers and es-
corted to the principals office The
student was subjected to two hours
of questioning by Costello and the
Rev Joseph Z. Shieder, director of
the Confraternity of Christian Doc

about 25 of Miss Dushane's pupils at |
which he questioned them closely on |
books they had borrowed from the
teacher. Included among these books
was Rich Land, Poor Land by Stuart
Chase, which Schneider said was a bad
book. He also exhibited several mag
azines, such as the Nation and New
Republic, PM and a pack of index
cards on which Miss Dushane had
civic notes, all of which had
been taken from the teachers class
