Oklahoma Professor Fired
AS Former Communist
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NORMAN, OKLA, July 81
Prof. Richard Blanc, an assistant
professor of zoology under in
vestigation for alleged Communist
sympathies, was fired yesterday
by the University of Oklahoma
Board of Regents.
The dismissal of Prof. Blanc
was announced by DR.. Oscar
White, chairman of the Board Of
Regents.
The professor, a member Of
the university faculty for six years.
Immediately branded the action
as unwarranted.
The announcement came after
an investigation, requested by
Gov. Johnston Murray, by the
Oklahoma Crime Bureau and
hearings conducted by the regents.
The regents report quotes Prof.
Blanc as saying he considered
himself at one time a member OF
the Communist Party.

The Army repeatedly charged
ISquires had taken Gen. Grows
estimates Of Soviet intentions to
wage war and twisted the phras-
ling to prove the United States in
tended to start hostilities.
It quoted the Squires books
thus:
II may be pessimistic but I am
on the safe side and trying to use
Western logic. The Soviets don't
think the same way and naturally
probably won't eat the same way
but again I can't afford to be
overly optimistic. This IS the
year. It seems to be the time
is ripe for a blow this year."
Then the Army said "the twisted
meaning of this phrase lifted from
the whole context is obvious:
"Am bit concerned at the ap-
parent careless attitude develop
ing in the United States. Every
one seems to feel there is no dan
ger of war. The current European
Command estimate in today fore
casts the same. I hope the boys
don't get a bad surprise. To me
the time seems ripe for a blow
this year. If we get by another
year we are pretty safe"
AS soon as it became known the
Soviet had obtained portions OF
the Grow diary. the general was
ordered home. The Voice OF
America repeatedly broadcast that
his beliefs-if they were really his
did not represent American
thinking.

Two of Camp Perry Prisons

Capt. w. H. Copley, head of the
prison guards, described the Incl

He reported that Max Hem
hree, 81, suffered eight deep CASH
es from wounds inflicted by Ma
than Fisher, 26, and was sched-
uled for release from Magruder
hospital where he was admitted
late Monday afternoon.
Capt. Copley said both inmates
had been feuding for several days,
but that they had shaken hands

Monday morning.
Both prisoners, Capt Copley
said. were assigned to a small de.
tail to clean up the prison yard
and Hembree repeatedly was stab
bed by Fisher as the two ascend
ed a stairway to their second floor
barracks.
Guards quickly broke up the
fight. Hembree was taken to Ma
gruder hospital and Fisher was
manacled and lodged in the
county jail.
Capt. Copley said guards are of
the opinion that Fisher obtained
small pairing knife used in the
stabbing as the prisoners passed
through the kitchen upon return
ing from their work detail.
Although Hembree suffered
eight deep gashes, prison authori-
ties said none of the wounds was
serious.
Fisher was sentenced to Ohio
