SAYS 'N0N-PARTISAM' POLITICAL TICKET IS
 JUST PURE M00N5HINE'

Albert White, general counsel of the Republican party, today said that the so-called 'Non-Part.san Ticket put out by few people under label of Labor" is pure moonshine"
 Both Mrs. White, Republican National Committeewoman, and myself received the Non-Partisan' tickets in the mail today. We be- lieve the ticket to be pure moon- shine and that Republicans should repudiate it at the polls.
 Tt is not a 'Non-Partison' ticket. Of the II candidates endorsed, only three are Republicans-a ratio of g to 3.
 We do not call that non-parti- san in any sense of the word, Johnson and Peterson were only put on to attract Republican votes" said, White

Harvard. Astronomers have told me that he is one of the best Friends of his have told me that he is not only not Communist but that he is anti-Marxist. If all that is correct, then he must be irrational. For no man in the entire United States has done more to lend his name and the name of his university to promote the cause of Communism in America than Harlow Shapley.
 Were he a Communist, we could say that he is deeply convinced and willing to live by his convictions whatever they may be. But as it is insisted that he is not Con- munist, then he must be irrespon- sible, having wonderful time set ting an example to young people of what a bad boy he can be. He is more harmful than night club playboy, who, as charlatan, hurts no one but himself; Shapley is honored, admired and emulated by students who know of his intel leculal brilliance; yet he led that American demonstration at the Waldorf Astoria.
 Felix Frankfurter is not Com munist Felix Frankfurter is bril- liant talker who runs through all sides of a question which leaves his listeners breathless with won der at his knowledge, erudition and wisdom. Yet, his favored pupils, those whose names stand out in the news, are uniformly without public morality.
 It seems to me that now is the time for the alumni associations of all our great voluntary universi- ties to appoint investigative com mittees to discover what has been happening in these wonderful years of academic freedom. The profes- sors want money for buildings, nb- raries, laboratories and scholar ships. And the money should be plentifufly. These vol untary institutions must be saved from control by the politicians.
 On the other hand, trustees gen. srally have been careless and neg Iigent. They have attended to business but not to learn ng. The time has come for care- 'ul scrutiny by the alumni Our must be saved.

The Need For Character

The Need For Character President Alan Valentine. of the University of Rochester, said some thing very important.
 My recent experience in Europe Gas Chief of the ECA Mission to the Netherlands has left me with several convictions perhaps rele- want to the work of the Univer- sity. I am, for example, convinced that in selecting our teachers we must to the greatest possible ex- tent search for and secure men and women with personal integ- rity, social responsibility and strength of character as well as high professional competence. We must do so because we must help our nation and the world meet its need for graduates in whom we have inculcated, to our utmost cap- acity, those specific qualities. We shall not be doing all we can for our nation and our students if we include among their teachers and models men and women themselves irresponsible, insincere in their ac- ceptance of the obligations of their profession. or weak in facing their own problems and duties Our de- sire that every one of our scholars and scientists be eminent in his field is as strong as ever, but we must continue to find eminence with character, and we must pass by the brilliant scholar whose per sonal code is deeply dyed with self ishness, responsibility, weakness or insincerity. Such a man cannot fit into the community of cooper ative scholars which is true uni versity."
 was thinking about this and other matters the other day, when. it occurred to me that it is very bad for America that the word, Harvard, has become joke. liar yard is too important in our na- ticnal tradition to be used when ever any comedian or even alter dinner speaker wants to revive his audience. A
 It is not good, that. Harvard is cur oldest institution of higher ed- ucation and its contributions to American culture and life have been enormous. Unfortunately, Harvard has also housed a number of men who are morally and in- tellectually queer and has turned out some lawyers who are beneath our contempt. And during the past decades, these brilliant but shoddy persons have given Harvard a very bad name.
 President Valentine soundIy con- trasts brilliance and character. When freedom need be no defense for the man who goes haywire.

Russia Accuses Finland HarbOring War Criminals

HELSINKI, Finland, (P) - Fin land categorically rejected today Soviet charges that Finland SUD- piled Soviet war criminals here with faxed documents. At the same time Finland assured her powerful neighbor that she is ma- king every effort to abide by the terms of Finnish-Soviet pacts.
 Finland replied to a strong So- viet protest note delivered three weeks ago to Karl Sundstroem, Finnish minister in Moscow. To- day in Moscow Sundstroem deliv- cred the Finnish reply to the Rus SianS. ...
 The Finnish government told the Russians that it is making every effort to fulfill Loyalty it's obligations under the peace treaty"
 'Likewise, it is striving by all friendship and mutual assistance means to act according to the pact with Russia. Nevertheless, it is entitled to reject categorically the assertions that Finnish auth critics thould have supplied war criminals with faked documents 5
 Russia, in a New Years day note accused Finland of harbor- ing 300 Soviet war criminals in violation of the SoViet-Finnish peace treaty. Deputy Soviet for eign minister Andrei Gromyko re- ceived Sundstroem in Moscow and demanded that the war crim- inals be handed over to Russia. He specifically accused the Fin nish government of furnishing the alleged war criminals with false names and documents.

HONOLULU, (P)-Harry Brid- geS predicted last night his de- fense against federal perjury charges on the mainland would take five or six weeks.
 The head of the international longshoremen's and warehouse. mems union arrived by plane to talk to the Hawaii conference of the ILWU local executive board.
 Bridges told eporterS he thought the current perjury case is "the worst one" the government ever tried against him. The gov ernment twice tried to deport him. Now it accuses him of lying when he obtained American citizenship by swearing he was not commit rist.
 Bridges must be back at San Francisco Monday, when the de- fense begins its case.
 The labor boss asserted the gov- ernment had "liars, confessed i- ars, as witnesses"
 ''I think" he added, well get four or five perjury indictments out of it."
 Bridges said one issue to be dis cussed at the Hawaiian meeting was the CIO custer action against his ILWU.
