Teaching Of
Values
By Ruth Deon

Public education in the United
States today is not doing enough
to educate youth in ethical and
moral values, Harold E. Stassen,
president of the University of
Pennsylvania. declared yesterday
Addressing the Congressional
Club on the subject. Education
and Freedom" the former Cover
nor of Minnesota declared that the
outcome of the cold war" de-
pends a great deal on how educa-
ton in this country progresses
toward instruction of youth in the
basic moral and ethical principles
that hold together a free society.
He also held in equal Importance
increased stress on the concepts
of freedom and the inherent rights
of man on which this Nation was
founded.
Though approving in theory the
principle Of separation of church
and state, Mr.. Stassen criticized
the results of its application to
public education in the United
States. The attitude that any
thing related to the moral and
ethical principles derived from re-
ligion should be excluded from
teaching has weakened education
in our land" he declared.
The speaker maintained that it
is possible to introduce into the
public school curriculum the
teaching of. moral and ethical
fundamentals of life without refer
ence to sectarian PHILOSOPHERS. OF
the 46 million boys and girls in
America today, he said, one half
are growing up without any con-
tact whatsoever with any church
or religious organization as a
source of moral and ethical up
bringing. More tragic STILL" he
added, is the fact that this same
one-half come from homes where
that phase of life is neglected or
misunderstood"
Mr.. Stassen was introduced by
Mrs. Homer Ferguson. wife of the
Republican Senator from Michi-
gan. and program chairman of the
club. Mrs. Stassen was also a
guest.

For Wives
ToWotch
By Bob Thomos

And now the disc jockey can
come into television.
The record spinners, considered
the blessing of radio by some and
a blight by others, have been con-
cerned about the transition to TV
The question arises: Who wants
to look at a guy and turntable?
A Los Angeles money man
named Louis Snader is coming to
the rescue of the jocks. He is the
head of Snader Prescriptions
which is producing visual records
for television. These are separate
films featuring top musical talent
and running between three and
four minutes apiece-the same as
phonograph record.
Snader has already made 130
of them and will have a backlog
of $50 in a year. Performers al
ready lined up include Patricia
Morrison. Peggy Lee. King Cole,
Diana Lynn, Mitzi Green. Cab
Galloway, Mel Torme, Lionel
Hampton and Herb Jeffries.
The producer sees the films as
boon to the housewife as well as
the disc jockey.
''The trouble with most day
time television shows is that the
wife has to neglect her housework
if she wants to enjoy them" he
explained. But she can enjoy
our shows even if she can't stop
to watch them"
The films are produced on a
par with any Hollywood musical
picture. A days work costs $4,000
But in that time 10 of the num-
bers are produced with two diff
ferent performers. The speed is
achieved by the use of three
cameras.
When you walk on one of our
sets, it looks like Gone With the
Wind" Snader beamed. "You
wonder how we can afford SC
many people. Well, by using three
camera angles we can shoot the
whole number in one take and
save time"
OF course, the film records will,
cost TV stations much more than
photograph records. But shade,
figures the price will be cheap
compared with average expenses
in TV.

Documents Missing
In Red Investigation
Termed Dynamite
BY the Associotsd Press

House members failed yesterday
to locate missing file-described
as political dynamite"-contain-
ing correspondence between law
makers and an organization now
tagged as subversive.
The dynamite" label was
pinned on the papers by a Pitts
burgh attorney, Harry A. Sher-
man, while talking to reporters
shortly after he testified before
the House Un-American Activities
Committee.
Mr.. Sherman. an official of
Americans Battling Communism,
Inc, told the House group he may
be able to find a Photographic
copy.
Kearney Anxious to See Them.
While Mr.. Sherman testified
that the papers have little pro-
bative value" in the committees s
investigation of communism, Rep
resentative Kearney, Republican,
OF New York. said afterward:
IF any copies are around we're
going to do our damndest to
learn if there is anything relevant
in them"
The committee held an unusual
Saturday session to discuss the
mystery of the papers. Loss of the
documents was reported to the
committee Friday by Matthew
Cvetic, for seven years an FBI un-
dercover agent in Pittsburgh Com
munist circles.
After preliminary two-hour
secret huddle, the committee called
back Mr.. Cvetic and Mr.. Sherman.
Both men testified that Mr.
Cvetic personally carried the pa
pers into the committee room Feb
ruary 18 for preliminary question:
ing on Communist activities in
Western Pennsylvania.
Last Seen on Chair.
They were last seen, Mr.. Cvetic
testified, with his brief case on a
chair in the committee room when
he went to lunch.
Mr.. Sherman identified the pa
pers as a "voluminous" file of cor
respondence between members of
Congress and the American Slav
Congress.
Mr.. Sherman said many of the
papers were simply routine ack-
nowledgments commonly given by
members of Congress to requests
from their constituents.
But several, he said, might
prove embarrassing to the writer's

Separated Purposely.
A large percentage of the Con-
gressional letter writer's answered
requests for contributions or to
attend meetings "by telling them
to go to hell" Mr.. Sherman said.
Mr.. Kearney remarked to re-
porters:
THE strange part of it all, of
the huge mass of material brought
here the only part of it missing
is a file marked Senators and
congressman
Mr.. Sherman threw some light
on that. The Senators and Con-
gressmen" file was separated from

Martinsyille Seven Ask Parents To
KeepsPraying As Date With Death
Draws Near

Briscoe and Oscar Haynes
MARTINSvILLE, Va. (ANP)
"Mama, keep praying for me-"
is the sad refrain Of the letters
written home by the seven DOOM
ed Martinsville boys.
On the 18th of this month, four
of these boys will pay the highest
price ever exacted by Virginia for
rape. They will walk to the chair.
A week later, the other three will
follow.
Only action by Gov. John Bat
tie stands between these boys and
certain death! NAACP Atty. Mar
tin A. Martin and eight leading
white and colored citizens Of the
State made an appeal tothe COVER
nor last Friday for clemency. His
reply is expected this week.
In the meantime, the seven
boys, four Of whom have profess
ed religion in prison and been
baptized; await their fate with a
prayer in their hearts. The other
three already belonged to church
when they were arrested on the
night of Jan. 8. 1919, for the rape
Of Mrs. Ruby Floyd.
All the boys write home on an
average Of twice a week. It's the
crarnped scribbling of near-illiter-
alter who had to quit school and
go to work in a textile mill or
furniture factory to help make
ends meet at home.
They begin their letter, "Dear
Mama" or "Dear Aunt, or Dear
Dad" the first paragraph is all
c~amauflage. Trying to ease the
burden of sorrow of their worried
parents, the boys start out, 81
am doing fine and I hope you and
and the family are all right"
They stall by asking about
Uncle Joe and Aunt Susie and
Cousin Mary Ruth and John Art
hur and the girl back home. Tell
her to be a good girl.
Finally, their coinposure cracks
and the boys who r about to die
pour out their hopes and fears.
MAMA, keep praying for me. I
known God will find a way. I
pray every day and every night"
When yau ask to see the letters
the boys have written home, there
is no fumbling, no guessing where
the letters are. The mothers go
straight to the family Bible where
they are neatly folded and tuck
ed away with locks ofthe children's
hair. There's a lock from the head
of a boy in prison clipped when
he was still wearing diapers, a
mere Is or 10 years ago.

to read US one or two of the let
tiers. Invariably, we ended up
