Ewing Never Filed
World Tour Report,
Iowa S Gross Says

Former Federal Security Ad-
miniStrator Oscar w. Ewing
never filed a formal report on a
round-the-world trip he took at
Government expense in the
closing days of the Truman ad-
ministration. Representative
Gross. Republican. of Iowa,
charged yesterday.
Mr.. Gross. who attempted to
block the trip when it was first
announced, advised Controller
General Lindsay c. Warren that
Mr.. Ewing made only an oral
report to President Truman and
Secretary Of State Acheson five
days before they left Office. He
said this information was furn-
ished him on June 80 by Assist
ant Secretary of State Thurston
B. Morton.
Mr.. Ewing and an aide, Wilbur
Cohen, left Washington on No
vember 20. 1852 and did not re-
turn until January Is, 1858. Their
main objective was social well
fare conference in India, but
they visited a number of Middle
Eastern and Asiatic countries
during their journey.
Sought Recovery of Sum.
Mr.. Warren advised Mr.. Gross
on June ii of this year that
there was no way for the Gov
ernment to recover the SASH
Of Mr.. Ewing's expenses. But
the Iowa Congressman replied
yesterday that Mr.. Ewing's fail
ure to file a written report would
justify another attempt to re-
claim not only this sum but the
$2,688 paid Mr.. Ewing in salary
during the eight weeks of his
trip.
Mr.. Gross said public funds
are supposed to be used for off,
cial travel "only If a benefit ac-
crues to the Government for such
travel"
Charges $5,2O5 Raid"
Here" he wrote, without a
written report from Ewing, we
have a complete absence of
proof Of anything being gained
by Ewing for the public as a
result Of the trip and his al
legged attendance at the India
conference. How much more
evidence Of Shenanigans is re-
quired? It was obvious from
the outset that Ewing went on a
JOY ride at the taxpayers ex-

Marvin Would Ban
Communists From
University Faculties


DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, presi-
dent of George Washington Uni
versity, last night took a stand
against the hiring of Communist
professors by universities in
America.
In making his charge to the
graduates during the 132nd an
nual commencement at GNU,
DR.. Marvin departed from the
usual academic discourse on re-
sponsibility. to talk on commu-
nism in education.
students have opportunities, I"
he said, "they must have oppor-
tunities. of knowing about COM
munism as they know about
socialism. agnosticism, or many
other theories that are without
the pale Of democratic ways.
II do not believe that Com
munist professors should be en-
ployed by our universities"
DR.. Marvin said also that, if a
professor cannot accept the re-
sponSihility of upholding the
fundamental ideals of the State.
he ought not to be a member Of
the faculty.
Mind Not Free.
so a Communist" he added,
"who believes in the overthrow
of the Government, and who
limits his teaching to the limita-
tions imposed by Communist
doctrine, cannot be a free mind
and becomes SubverSive risk.
He ought not to be allowed
to teach in our universities. This
position in no wise limits aca-
demic freedom as it Is known
historically and as it operates
under Our system"
DR.. Marvin declared the ques-
ton is then raised: What do we
do about professors who at one
time have been Communists, or
fellow travellers, who have seen
the errors of their ways and want
to be protected in their classroom
privileges and obligations?"
He said that. in a democracy,
a man has the right to change
his mind, and he should be pro-
tected in this right.
Should Be Sure.
But a university" continued
DR.. Marvin, lin employing or
continuing to employ a man who
had been a Communist, should
make sure that he has given up
his Communist membership and
affiliations and that his type of
totalitarianiSm has been rebuilt
so that he can feel the signif1-
canoe Of, as well as know about
the tenets of, the democratic
way. Some provision should be
made to give such persons a
place to prove themselves"
DR.. Marvin referred to a talk
by q college professor here yes
terday before the General Fed
Grafton of Wofnen's Clubs. This
professor said he would want
his children to study in a college
where both ideas of communism
and democracy are taught, add
ing that democracy would win
out.
Communists Not Scholars.
"Then comes a professor"
said Dr.. Marvin, "and we had one
talk in Washington yesterday,
who makes a fine distinction by
saying that communism should
be taught according to the aca-
demic way-taught by a Commu-
niSt-and that our students
should have the privilege Of being
subjected to such teaching.
HE wants it done so that they
might be able to compare the
communistic and democratic way
of life. We know what a Com
munist will do, and if the pro-
fessor be a Communist he is not
a scholar in our sense of the
word, but an agent for propa-
Eanda. He is ruled out, not only
because of the totalitarian type
he will have but because he will
attempt to convert to commu-
nisrn. rather than talk about it
