a result of the initiative taken

to Jerusalem was caused by ou1

Catholic Educator

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., April
"a Catholic educator says

Father Reinert made the re-

Educational Association.
Most of the educators agreed
that investigating committees

Charges Of Contempt
Faced by Educator
In Communist Probe
By Cecil Holland

A New Yorker who refused to
say whether he is a Communist
faced contempt proceedings to-
day unless he turned over records
demanded by the Senate Inter-
nal Security subcommittee.
Howard Selsam, the witness,
said he would consider the sub
committees demand for the list
of the present and past faculty
Of the Jefferson School for So
cial Sciences in New York. Rob-
ert Morris, the subcommittee
counsel. identified Mr.. Selsam as
director Of the school.
However, the witness refused
to answer whether he was the
director on grounds of the Fifth
Amendment that he should not
testify against himself.
Warned of Contempt.
Z Mr.. Selsam acknowledged
having taught at the American
University at Beirut. Syria, at
Columbia and at Brooklyn Col
lege. But he refused to tell the
subcommittee where he had
taught since that time.
Senator Jenner, Republican,
of Indiana, said he would con-
slider that the 49-year-old wit
ness was in contempt if he re-
fused to supply the list of the
teachers at the Jefferson school.
The school was described in tes-
timony before the subcommittee
as IAN adjunct" of the Com
munist Party.
Before refusing to answer
many questions tossed at him by
the subcommittee members, Mr..
Selsam sought to read a state
ment. He was given permis-
sion to have it inserted in the
hearing record. The statement
said that the subcommittee
proceedings deserve nothing but
contempt from any teacher"

She acknowledged she was the

cation would make people afraid

Javanese Prepare 10 Flee
As Volcano Threatens
By the Asseciased Press

JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 9.
Central Javanese authorities
are feverishly completing plans
for possible evacuation OF 1.9
million persons threatened by
rumblings in Mount Merapi, q
big killer volcano.
DR.. c.. A. De Neve. chief of
Indonesia's Volcanologic Service,
said round-the-clock observers
had spotted a small flow of lava
through a northern breach in
the crater rim Saturday. That
side of the mountain is a dense
jungle and sparsely populated.
But the eastern and southern
slopes are densely settled.
The most disastrous eruption
of Merapi in recent times was in
1880, when more than 1900 per-
sons were killed. countless others
were injured and thousands of
villages were destroyed.
DR.. Neve said Merapi is ex-
pected to erupt in the next few
weeks, since the volcano appears
to have completed its five to
seven year cycle of rela tive in
activity.

Red Hunters Wind Ur
California Probe in
Sizzling Session
By the AsSocIoted Press

LOS ANGELES, April o.
Congressional Communists hunt
ers wound up 10 days of hear
ings here yesterday with an in
vective laced session in which an
actor called Representative Jack
son, Republican, of California, a
liar and "a contemplate man."
Mr.. Jackson, chairman of a

sored. "You are a contemplate
man." Mr.. Young shouted at one
point.
He heatedly accused Mr.. Jack
son of introducing a book burn
ing BILL" of "going in the direc-
ton of FaScism" and of tyranny.
Mr.. Jackson firmly denied the
accusations.
Mr.. Kaplan, who said he has
scored such films as "Mr. $780,"
Niagara" and Halls of Monte
zuma," claimed the committee
is preventing him from earning
money to buy food for his chill
dren because I'll be blacklisted
tomorrow"

AS did Mr.. Young, Mr.. Kap-
Ian declined on constitutional
grounds to answer questions
about membership in the Com
munist Party. He cried at one
point: II am no Charlie Nc

not work with me-"

would pick out another dummy"
Of the nine other witnesses
called only one, ScreenWriter
Gertrude Purcell, was co-opera-
tive. She acknowledged being a
Communist from 1899 to 1912,
but gave little other information.

Chairman Smith was some
what critical of Mr.. Lovett's
failure to act sooner to bring
about a better flow of ammuni-
tion.
BY questions, Mrs. Smith de-
veloped that Mr.. Lovett first
knew of ammunition shortages
in Korea about September or
October, 1851, but did not take
over production of short rounds
until November.
"It took a year to identify the
problem?" she asked.

Mr.. Lovett said that was in
correct. He had tried to work
through the Army, he said, and
he also had installed a special
expediter in the middle of 1851,
Clay Bedford.
But Mr.. Lovett said he did
not take production out of Army
hands until he discovered Army
officials were blaming short
age of funds and had not obli-
gated $2.5 billion available.
Roth Mr.. Lovett and Assis-
tant Secretary Of Defense Will

due to a lack of funds.

May 27, 1852
This afternoon I had my first
long interview with George Ken
nan, who has just arrived as our
new Ambassador. One feels at
once that here is Westerner in
Russia who. if anybody. can pluck
meaning out of the puzzling phe--
nomena around us. an American

Moscow is that you look through
his windows directly out onto the

walls. with their low rows of
windows looking directly back at

Kennan clasped his hands be-
hind his head, looked up at the

something far away and per-
picking, and slowly repeated the
words: "anti-American, anti

Apparently one has to be right
here in Moscow, to live and work
and walk in what you might call
the camp of the enemy, to see
and hear and smell the evil
manifestations of the campaign
every day (almost every hour
and at every turn, in order to
comprehend the hot hatred that
is being coldly built up against
us, as a nation and as a people.

blaming Sadur because they felt
he was partly responsible for
their failure to discover a $10,-

Shortly after Mr.. Hagerty

Mr.. Hagerty's statement that

permanent division of Korea is
desirable or feasible did not rule
out study of such a division.
In fact, it is known that a di-

never would accept a negotiated

ton to resist it.

will fight to the end for that.
