u. Of w. President Defends Dr.. Burd
 Against Cruening

SEATTLE, -(P) - President Raymond P. Allen of the UniVer- Sity of Washington, defended a faculty member today against crit icism by Alaska Governor Ernest Gruening.
 The faculty member is Dr. Hen ry A. Burd, who testified before a joint congressional committee on Alaskan matters.
 President Allen released an ex- change of letters with the Alaska governor. The governor started his letter with a statement that II am addressing with reference to a matter which may cast serious reflection upon the institution you serve as president"
 He went on to say that the freight rates about which pr. Burd so readily testified were computed not by pr. Burd at all but by the steamship company which had commissioned him." He referred to the Alaska Steamship Comp | any.
 President Allen replied that Dr. Burd's report on Alaska retail prices and their relation to Alaska freights was "as objective as the modern science of market re- search makes possible" Referring to a report of Dr Burd's findings published in the University Journal. Pacific North west industry, Governor Gruening said:
 In his article,-Dr. Burd does not indicate that the study on which it was based was bought and paid for by a private trans portation company whose egreg- iously high rates were under in vestigation.
 Dr. Allen said professors are permitted to undertake such side work. He added that investiga- tiens showed that Dr. Burd per sonally checked retail prices in the survey. He said pr. Burd did all the tabulating except the computation of freight costs on the individual items, which was done by clerks but checked by him."
 Dr. Allen said he had made a thorough investigation of the con- troversy and my conclusion is that the university has in no wise overstepped the bounds of pro- priety in its actions"
