0fCommunismUrged
By Ford Executive
BY the Assoeioted Press

LEXINGTON, Va, April IT,
A Ford Motor Co. executive told
a Washington and Lee Univer-
sity audience here yesterday that
teachers should be allowed to
study communism and teach its
principles to their classes.
William T. Gossett. vice preSi-
dent and general counsel of Ford,
said scholars and teachers ia
miliar with the principles Of
communism would be able to
show the fallacy between COM
munistic theory and practice.
He added, however. that known
Communists should not be al
lowed to teach in our schools.
Free inquiry, he said, is the best
weapon against intolerance, but
the Communist doctrine does
not allow free inquiry.
The teacher whose mind is not
open to free inquiry is failing in
his responsibility as a teacher.
Mr.. Gossett said. Communists.
who are not allowed to question
the Communist doctrine, are not
free to seek out knowledge and
truth, he added.
Mr.. Gossett, a member of the
Board of Visitors Of the Column
bia University Law School, spoke
on the theme of Colurnbia'S BIZ

firebug yesterday at the J. c,
Penney Co.. 1856 Colesyille road
indicated they would leave the
investigation Of that blaze to

The Penney fire was the Sec
ond in two weeks at the store,
Mr.. Gray said. The suspect fol-
lowed the same pattern in both
cases, he said. by starting fires
in q storeroom so they would
spread without tripping an auto
matte sprinkler system. Both
fires were controlled by the
sprinklers.
Mr.. Gray said his investigation
disclosed employees had been
smoking In the storeroom, al
though they were warned not to
do SO by store officials.
Two Fires in Hecht Store.

plastic raincoats hanging in the
basement appeared to have beer
ignited. Mr.. Gray said extra
fire inspectors would be assigned
to stores in the area on heavy
shopping days.
Page Hopkins. president of the
Silver Spring Fire Department
said there was no rift between
Silver Spring inspectors and the
county fire marshal other thar
"a few personal disagreements
of the kind you find in any or
ganization." Most volunteer de-
partments have their own in

expedition that nearly scaled K2
Mountain in that country, might
still be in hook today in its foot

At the Hotel Statler last night
he said that when the expedi-

spent $4,000 still was owed to
porters. And all the expedition
had left was about IA cents.
DR.. Houston sent cables home
to New Hampshire. Some money
was Immediately forthcoming.
Then he prevailed on the town
of Skardu to lend him about
$4,000 from its treasury Of $4,-
600. This took care of every
thing.
Repayment Arranged.
DR.. Houston said repayment
was done as promptly as it could
be arranged. He said he doubt
ed whether such a transaction
could have been arranged so
simply in the United States.
DR.. Houston was here for his
first visit since his American

Death Often Near.
DR.. Houston and his compan-

death last year on K2. At 25, 900
feet one man fell and swept
four others over the side. Only
the fouling Of three of the thin
nylon ropes and the magnificent
relay work of another member
of the expedition saved their
lives, as they fell 200 feet on
the icy slopes.
Later, another member of the
expedition, Art Gilkey, lost his
life when he was swept away by
an avalanche. And there were
nine days when DR.. Houston and
his companions were swamped
by a raging storm and trapped
in their tents at 25,500 feet, just
2,750 feet from the summit OF
the lonely mountain.
He said an Italian expedition
to try to scale K2 has Just gotten
