Church Council Sees
Loss Of Freedom in
Education Probes
By the Associoted Pres.

NEW YORK, Mar. 1G.-1ne
National Council of the Churches
of Christ in the U. S. A. says
freedom is endangered by Ger
tain methods" of congressional
Investigations affecting educa-
tional institutions.
Congress has no business en-
croaching on local control of
schools. the council contends,
and local trustees and boards
of education can deal responsibly
with the occasional subversive"
in the institutions.
The statements were made in
a resolution adopted yesterday
by the general board of the
council. representing nearly
three-fourths of American Prot
estant and Eastern Orthodox
church members.
The resolution said in part:
AT this moment when national
unity based on mutual confidence
is of paramount Importance to
our security. men in responsible
positions must not, through un-
substantiated charges and blan-
ket indictments, destroy conf
dence in our American schools.
colleges and universities. To do
this would be to play into the
hands of the Communists.
Freedom Endangered
mo RECOMMENDATION is more
dangerous than that of the mind.
The control of our educational
institutions. in keeping with the
American principle of volun-
tarlsm as opposed to statism. is
not a function of congressional
committees.
The resolution said certain
methods of school Red probes
by Congress "endanger the very
freedom which we seek to pre-
serve"
The councils resolution on
Congressional vestig a tors,
adopted by vote of 50 to 2, said
Congress has the right and duty
to make Investigations to formu-
late legislation. The council
added. however, that this func-
ton, must be jealously guarded
against abuse through methods
that are now bringing it into
diSrepute."
Fair Treatment Prged.
The resolution said any wit
ness at a congressional commit
tee hearing should receive "fair
and dignified treatment" and be
given a chance to make an ini-
tial statement without Interrupt
ton, because committee members
can cross-eXamine without limit.
ConSpiratorS against the
United States, the resolution de-
clared. should be caught, tried
and punished if guilty.
Methodist Bishop G. Bromley
Oman of Washington spoke in
favor of the amendment. He
cited an instance in which he
said he had been falsely ac-
cused' in material circulated by
a House committee of writing a
newspaper article about Josef
Stain.

wrote any such article"
Taft Amendment Adopted. =.
Chairman Velde of the House
Committee on American Ac-
tivitieS said earlier this week an
investigation of the clergy was
entirely possible"
Later, after an outburSt of pro-
tests from some fellow commit
teemen and churchmen, he said
no such inquiry had been dis
cuSsed by the committee, but
that this didn't rule out the pos
slbility of one in the future.

church council, made up of 30

ment proposed by Charles P.

To Decide Next Step
In Gouzenko Case
By the Assoeiated Press

| Senate spy hunters meet today
to decide what to do about ques-
tioning Igor Gouzenko, after dis
closing that the FBI reported
information from the former
Russian code clerk which had
enabled it to identify a United
States scientist as Soviet agent.
| Chairman Jenner of the SEN
ate Internal Security subcommit-
tee indicated yesterday the group
was not likely to press the issue
in view of Mr.. Gouzenko's re-
ported objection to being ques-
toned. Senator Jenner said in
an interview in Louisville, KY:
II don't want him to testify if
he feels it will endanger him and
his family"
Mr.. Gouzenko, who once ex-
pressed willingness to talk to
the investigators, said in a
copyrighted article written for
the st. Louis PoSt-DiSpatch and
Toronto Telegram that he de-
cided not to allow the inter-
view, for reasons of personal
and family safety. He has been
living in an undisclosed place
under an assumed name, with
Canadian government protec-
ton.

releasing excerpts from the No
vember. 1945, FBI report, de-
leted the name of the scientist,

formation indicated the scientist
may have furnished data on the
Navy's proximity fuse to DR..
Allan Num- May. British scien-
tist who confessed in 1916 to

port was revealed by the SUBJ
committee as one of the reasons
it wants to question Mr.. Gou-
zenko. who fled from the Soviet
Embassy in Ottawa in Septem-
Der, 1945, and tipped Canadian
authorities to a Russian spy net

The excerpts were described as
part of the 71-page report

officials in November, 1945. The
documents. containing informa-
ton about an alleged espionage
ring in the Government, was re-
ported sent to then Secretary of
the Navy James v. Forrestal,
among others.

cedure, the subcommittee goes

McCutcheon Files Suit Against Senator Jensen For $175,OOO Damages

ANCHORAGE, R = A federal court suit filed by Stanley Me Cutcheon Saturday asked $175,OOO damages from Territorial Sen. Marcus Jensen, Douglas Repub- lican. The complaint accused Jen- sen of deliberate, malicious and evil course of conduct so designed to bring disgrace, sorrow, unhap- piness and great damage to Me Cutcheon, his wife and children" :"
 The complaint asks $75,OOO actual and $10O,OOO punitive dam ages.
 McCutcheon, former legislator and banking and air lines execu- tive, is currently under indict- ment on seven counts of violating territorial banking laws.
 In his suit against Jensen, Me Cutcheon charges that Jensen's appearance as a witness in the banking laws case was part of a plan to disgrace him." He also charged that Jensen had flied" about him on numerous occasions but that his position as a legis- lat0r gave his testimony credence.
 McCutcheon also contended Jensen's charges against him of forgery had been repeated in the United States Senate by Senator Hugh Butler R-Neb).
 The complain cited March, 1851, hearing before a joint com mittee of the Territorial House and Senate and said that Jensen lied under oath before that group.

States-bred Dog Team Wins First Place In Rendezvous Race

ANCHORAGE, lR - AlaSka'S s dog races are going to the hounds.
 A team of six stateside bred Targhee hounds led by Siberian husky defeated seven teams of native Alaskan dogs in the Fur Rendezvous first championship sled dog race Monday.
 Joyce Wells, wife of Joe Wells, Anchorage musher and trainer of the Targhees, drove the stateside team past seven contestants mush- ing the Alaskan dogs and was first at the finish line of the 10-mile course in one hour, two minutes and one second. That gave her the women's champion ship.
 The Targhee hounds were bred by Lloyd Van Sickle in Ashton, Idaho. They resulted from cross breeding a stag hound and an Irish setter and back to the stag hound. The coat is like a setter's and the ears lie back against the head.
 Second in the race was Natalie Norris of Anchorage with time of one hour, three minutes and 21 seconds. Helen Fitzgerald, 15- year old Anchorage dog racer who has been a leading contender in weekly junior mushers' races, was third. Her time was one hour, six minutes, 33 seconds.

Coastwise Official Reveals Backlog of 5O,OOO Tons Of Construction Material

WASHINGTON, R-B. H. Par kinson, executive vice president of Coastwise Lines, said Monday his company has a backlog of 5O,00O tons of construction ma- terial which it wants to ship to Alaska by the end of April.
 The figure was given to Mari time Board Examiner A. L. Jor- dan in support of Coastwise Lines efforts to obtain a charter renewal on three government owned Liberty-type vessels.
 Parkinson said Coastwise's pre- sent fleet is too small to permit movement of the construction material, much of it lumber and asphalt, by the time contractors will want it.
 He added, however, that Coast wise is unwilling to tie itself up to long-term charters for privately owned vessels because of the "un- certainty" surrounding the Alaska military construction program.

B0yhood Chum of Will Rogers Walking From Anchorage to Pit. Barrow

ANCHORAGE, lR A boyhood friend of Will Rogers, trekked northward through Alaska's frigid winter today, hoping to walk all the way to Point Barrow to erect a shrine where the great humor- ist died in plane crash IS years ago.
 Jesse Stubbs now 72, left here II days ago with sled and one dog, named Quako.
 Beyond Fairbanks lie several hundred miles of Arctic wilder ness, with no roads toward Point Barrow and mountain ranges and great stretches of ice covered tundra.
 His sled wore out on the bare pavement before he covered Is miles along the Glenn Highway, motorists reported. But he bought new one from a homesteader and pushed on At a wooden bridge the dog could not pull the sled across 50 Stubbs made six trips himself, carrying the sled and supplies over.
 He has averaged about five miles a day, carrying his own tent and his food and dog supplies.
 His biggest delays, he said, have been caused by answering ques- tions and posing for pictures. He has rejected all offers of help. So far no authorities have stopped him.
