Red Issue Rises in NEA
As Teacher Accuses
Another Of Party Link
By the Assoeioted Press

BY the ASsocioted PrssS
BOSTON, July 6.-Communisln
is expected to develop into red
hot issue today at general sessions
of the National Educational As
sociation.
The problem moved toward the
general chamber yesterday when
one teacher accused another of
membership in what he described
as "a party line organization"
Observers indicated the issue
and others concerning commu-
nism would be carried to the main
floor today and at other sessions.
Principals in the tilt were Mrs.
Rose Russell, legislative repre-
sentative of the CIO Teachers
Union of New York City. and her
accuser, John K. Norton of Co.
| lumbia University's Teachers COL
lege.
Educators Report Criticized.
Mr.. Norton is chairman of the
NEA Educational Policy Commis-
sion. The commission recently
issued statement calling for a
ban on Communist Party men,
bers as American teachers.
The statement was signed by
Gen. Eisenhower, Columbia presi-
dent, and Dr.. James B. Conant,
president of Harvard University.
At a separate meeting Of 300
teachers considering the state
ment yesterday. Mrs. Russell said
the commission report was ill
conceived, ill-timed and ILL
omened."
She said it would continue the
cold war ., cause friction
and hysteria and start a
witch hunt"
She declared it erred in trying
to make education IAN instrument
of national policy"
Denied Chance to Reply.
Her statement brought Mr.. Nor
ton to his feet asserting that "the
lady you have just heard repre-
sents an organization which has
consistently followed the Com
munist Party line"
Mrs. Russell demanded the
right to reply but Mr.. Norton
overruled her.
The chairman's action drew
Mrs. Joanna Lindlof Of New York
into the debate. She said she
didn't agree with Mrs. Russell. but
insisted she should be given an
opportunity to reply.
Allotted a minute to respond,
Mrs. Russell said:
This is a good example OF guilt
by association. Every organiza-
ton that is militant or dissents Is
called subversive In one way or
another"
Professor Defends Communists.
Earlier. Herbert j. Phillips said
| he favored banning of Commu-
nists as teachers IF the Com
munist Party were what 1t is
reputed to be-" but. he added. the
Communist Party isn't" Before
he could explain what 1t Is. his
speaking time expired.
Mr.. Phillips identified himself
as q University of Washington
professor who was fired" for ad-
mitting 13 years membership in
the Communist Party.
During debate, Willard Spald-
ing OF the University Of Illinois
rose to ask:
Are we free to advocate any
damn thing we want to no matter
what it does to the American Ma
ton? There are limits to freedom
in democracy"
Meanwhile, the association took
under consideration q proposal to
exclude Communists from mem
bership. 1t will be acted on later.
The proposal to amend the
MEAS bylaws was offered by VIII
liam r. v. Saunders of New York.

from taxes for the 1949-50 fiscal
year and for future years its prop
erty at 7431 Connecticut avenue.
Approximately $500 in taxes is
involved.
The Montgomery County Tax
Appeal Court has agreed with
Mrs. Kathryn Lawlor, attorney
for the club, that the organiza-
ton qualities for tax exemption
under a law passed at the 1949
session of the General Assembly.
The measure exempts all nom
political women's clubs whose
charters show they were incor-
porated for charitable, benevolent,
educational and literary purposes

appeal from an adverse decision

is being studied by County AS

Alexander K. Hancock to deter
mine whether the clubs assess
ment shall be removed from the

in the decision. the club will take
further legal action, ..
Opposed Club Request.
