II School teachers
Are Suspended in Red
Quiz in Philadelphia
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-
The Board of Education has sus-
pended 81 teachers because they
refused to answer questions
about alleged Communist con-
nections.
Bluntly, the board said the
teachers "do not recognize or do
not understand that public Office
is a public trust" and said their
conduct had jeopardized the
reputation of 5000 public school
employees.
The suspension of 26 was an
nounced yesterday. One teacher
had been suspended two weeks
ago.
Were Witnesses at Probe.
Sixteen of the educators had
peen witnesses before a House
Un-American Activities subcom-
mittee this week which came
here to investigate alleged Red
inf1ltration among the city's
teachers. All had refused to
|. give information about alleged
Communist connections, invok-
ing the first, fifth. ninth and
tenth amendments.
Leon j. Obermayer, acting
board president, said those sus-
pended had shown "a shocking
disregard for their responsible
ties as teachers of our children"
Meanwhile, a prominent New
York attorney, Morris L. Ernst,
general counsel of the American
Civil Liberties Union, condemned
as "tawdry" and stupid" the
subcommittee hearings headed
by Representative Velde, Repub-
lican, of Illinois. The hearings
had been televised locally.
COMMITTEES such as this one
have given the country a climate
where you either have to whis-
per on account of fear or shout
because of insecurity" Mr..
Ernst said.

Mr.. Obermayer pointed out
the suspended teachers will be
given hearings to determine
whether any, or all, should be
fired. He said the public should
be fair and patient"
