Two Plead Guilty Here
To Passing Bad Checks

Two of three persons who ap-
peared in Municipal Court on bad
check charges yesterday pleaded
guilty before Judge Walter J.
Casey.
Acting on the separate cases
Judge Casey fined Mrs. Kather-
inc B. James, 80, of Pine Top
N. c., total of 5000 on four
charges of writing bad checks and
failing to pay her hotel board
bills here. After she pleaded
guilty. Mrs. James, a former WAC
lieutenant, arrested two weeks age
in the Continental Hotel, must
serve 120 days if she fails to pay
her fines.
Roger T. VIM, %. of SPRING
field, Mass, was turned over to
probation officers for presentence
investigation on entering his
guilty plea to three charges that
he passed bad checks here last
month. He told the court he
went "berserk" with his pen be-
cause he was afraid he had failed
to get passing grades at Boston
College, where he is in his fresh
man year. The checks were for
small amounts used in buying
horseback riding equipment, po-
lice reported.
In another courtroom Mrs.
Mary M. James, alias Hughes, So,
was acquitted of a single charge
by Judge George D. Nelson. She
had been accused of passing a
bad check at a grocery store here
last month, but when the grocer
admitted she had asked him to
wait a few days before trying to
cash 1t the judge directed a ver-
dict Of not guilty and dismissed
the jury, which had heard part
of the case.
A few minutes later, however,
Mrs. James, who lives in the 220O
block of Pennsylvania avenue
NV, was taken before Judge
Casey on three other charges of
passing bogus checks. On these
she was placed under $500 bond,
pending jury trial March II.

Politics Caused Firinq.
BY the Assoeiated Press

CORVALLIS, Oreg. Feb. "a
Two professors reiterated their
belief today that their dismissals
from Oregon State University were
based on political grounds.
They issued a statement after
A. L. Strand, Oregon State presi-
dent, called a special faculty as
sembly to deny the men were be-
Ing dropped because of member
ship in the Progressive Party. He
said he dismissed one for sup
porting a Communist scientists S
teachings.
The two are DR.. Ralph Splitter,
an associate chemistry professor,
and L. R. La Vallee, an assistant
economics professor.
MIR Strand said DR.. Splitter sup
ported. the Lysenko theory of ge-
neticS in a letter to the Chem
ical and Engineering News of
January 81. Lysenko. a Russian
scientist, advocates the Minchurin
theory OF genetics as opposed to
the generally accepted Mendelian
theory.
The Minchurin theory is that if
q person improves himself during
his life, the improvement becomes
hereditary and is passed on to his
children. The Mendelian theory
holds that acquired characteristics
are not passed along.
Taken by ITSELF" Mr.. Strand
said, ''Dr. Spitzer's letter in behalf
of completely discredited effort
on the part of the Soviet govern
ment to subjugate science to its
own political ends might be ex-
cused as an unfortunate mistake
in judgment.
But taken along with his pro-
Soviet propaganda, the letter
shows up its true light and its i'm
port cannot be overlooked"
The president made no further
reference to Prof La Vallee.
In their joint statement DIR.
Splitter and Prof. La Vallee said
their dismissals were IAN infringe
ment of academic freedom. They
said they would appeal to the
American Association of Univer-
sity Professors.

 While these two loan laws are primarily of interest in Alaska to homesteaders, they apply as well to farmers owning the land they occupy but who are short on sources of credit.

 In addition to loans authorized by the above laws, the Department of Agriculture furnishes certain services free of charge to all Alas ka agriculture settlers. Its field men make studies of the soil quail ities and the best methods of soil erosion control for soil conserva- tion groups of farmers. Technical research on all sorts of problems is conducted for the benefit of the farmer at the new agricultural research laboratories at Palmer. Travelling extension agents are available to help him with farming methods. The agricultural experi- ment stations of Alaska University are also prepared to give him ad vice.
