 Fails 10 Show For Hearing

WASHINGTON, Dec. T - R - Charles Oliphant, after demanding an immediate public hearing by House tax investigators, failed to appear today at a committee ses- sion called to hear him. He sent word he wished to delay his ap- pearance several days"
 Oliphant, 42, resigned two days ago as a chief legal officer of the Internal Revenue. He said then he felt unable to endure any longer the "vilification" to which he had heen subject at hearings by a House Ways and Means subcom- mittee.
 Oliphant blasted particularly at the "scurrilous charges" linking his name to an alleged clique" of Washington officials which a witness had sworn he was told was on the looknIf for soft touches"
 The story came from Abraham Teitelbaum, Chicago attorney, who said two men tried to shake him down for S500,O00 on the represen- tation that they would save him from tax troubles" through their connection with the alleged clique" He named the two men as Frank Nathan, Pittsburgh promoter and Man About Washington, and Bert K. Master, Hollywood, Fla, business man.
 Teitelbaum's story was followed quickly by angry denials from officials. Nathan took the com mittee's witness chair and swore, under oath, that it was dirty lie."
 Attorney-General McGrath yes- terday ordered that the whole mat ter be placed before federal grand jury.
 Only last night, Oliphant de manded" the right to reply from the committees witness chair to the bringing of his name into the hearings

Ds. Ferris Moore Explains Local
 College Program

Juneau was named by Dr. Ferris Moore among three other Alaska cities which have shown interest in the University of AlaSka's plan to establish community colleges in various areas of the Territory.
 pr. Moore, young, active president of the university, came to Juneau and other parts of southeast Alaska to outline the branch two-year col- lege plan to interested communi- ties. He said he had not yet been able to meet fully with the Juneau school board, but indicated that individual members had shown in- terest.
 He has offered the plan to Ket- chikan, Anchorage and Palmer in addition to Juneau. He expressed his belief that the initial start in the program would logically be made in one or more of these four cities.
 The Board of Regents recognized the need of offering higher educa- tion in the Territory, and voted to set aside $30,o00 to be used in ini- tiating a community college plan with cooperating school boards" ," Dr. Moore said.
 The plan would offer junior col lege level courses leading to cer- tificate, or classes could be attend ed at night by adults not wanting college credit. The community col leges would be set up in high schools of the Territory, offering two years work beyond high school level, but using the same form of organization and education rrac- ticas in use by the schools.
 pr. Moore said that vocational courses could be stressed varying with the needs of the community. He gave as examples, forestry, fish, cries studies and marine naviga- ton for southeast Alaska and pos- sibly political science and govern- ment courses for Juneau; agricul- ture studies would be logical at Palmer, he pointed out; and busi- ness education would be popular at Anchorage.
 Dr. Moore said that in certain cases, prospective students in the community colleges who had not had the opportunity to finish high school would be accepted for en- rollment. He pointed out that the junior colleges" would be as im- portant for giving opportunity to working adults as they would be for allowing high school students, unable to leave home to go to col lege. to further their education.
 He emphasized he was not on a selling tour' but merely offering the plan to communities which show interest. He said the interest shown in Ketchikan was high, but could not say when one of the community colleges would begin. He said there was a possibility that one could be started by the fall of 1852, but perhaps not until 1855
