# Peace Rally Hits Convoys;
## Nation-Wide Strikes Split

(Continued from Page 1, Col. 5)

by the belligerents, but with the num-
ber of young men who die in such
catastrophes. He concluded that the
peace sentiment of America will be
organized by dispelling fear, educat-
ing the American people, and by work-
ing with the American Peace Mobil-
ization.

The main speaker of the evening, Mr. McMichael, a student at Union Theological Seminary, quoted at length from various speeches of President Roosevelt. He decried a war economy as "economic insanity and suicide," called for "neutrality in deed if not in thought," and quoted the speech during the election campaign in which he stated, "Your sons will not be called to fight in any foreign war."

### McMichael Hits 1776

Mr. McMichael said that H.R. 1776 negated the action taken in the year 1776 to free the United States from the British Empire, and asserted it gives the President power of "lending, leasing or otherwise disposing of the country." He said that 4,500,000 tags "marked "Wound in Action" and "Wounded in Action" had been ordered by the army, as well as a million caskets. He said, "Do they expect these million or so conscripts will drop dead of homesickness?"

The speaker declared that students want some democracy in the schools and cited many instances of suspensions and expulsions in numerous educational institutions throughout the country. He charged that after he said last war, fought to "Get the Kaiser," they gave the Kaiser a nice, comfort-abel castle in Holland, while millions of boys were killed, wounded, or sent to insane asylums.

### Goldway Is Surprise Speaker

A surprise speaker was Mr. David Goldway, who revealed that he was informed that afternoon by the Board of Higher Education Conduct Committee that he was to be dismissed. He believed that this might be the last time he would be permitted to speak before C.C.N.Y. students.

Mr. Goldway condemned the Board for procrastinating for months on action regarding teachers' grievances, and then taking action against him within four hours after his appearance before the Rapp-Coudert Committee. He accused the administration of desiring to throttle the college with "military straitjacket" so that they would not dare to speak out for peace.

At this point, Mr. Kristoff announced that in one of Mr. Foner's classes that day all students had refused to attend class and in two others a majority had walked out. This was greeted with an outburst of applause.

(Continued from Page 1, Col. 3)

The American Student Union, also identified with the A.Y.C. point of view, labeled the demonstration as a warning that the nation's students would not tolerate any further steps leading towards American involvement in the war.

In a similar vein, the A.Y.C. itself declared that the "tremendous response to the strike proves that the American student body will not be stampeded into war." In return the S.D.D. termed their petition drives as "an answer to those who think that young Americans are indifferent to the issues in this war."

In his address to the 2,000 students attending the Student Council rally in the Brooklyn College gymnasium, Representative Baldwin declared that the convex system would not involve the U.S. in war "if we move promptly and efficiently."

He added that since we have committed ourselves to our present foreign and defense policy and are being taxed $7,000,000,000 to make effective the lease-end bill, we should not drop this $7,000,000,000 of taxpayers money to the bottom of the ocean by having supply ships sink in the mid-Atlantic.

### 800 At Columbia

Three meetings, beginning at eleven o'clock and timed an hour apart, drew a total of 800 Columbia students from Mornington Heights. Political, economic and moral arguments against American entrance into the war were advanced by speakers.

Five hundred students gathered in the McMillin Academic Theatre under the sponsorship of the American Youth Congress to hear, among other speakers, Representative Knute Hill, Democrat from Washington. The meeting adopted resolutions opposing American convoys and urging defense of academic freedom.

Morris U. Schappes, suspended City College teacher, was a speaker at a noon rally in Washington Square sponsored by the New York University chapter of the American Student Union and the Council for Student Equality. Undergraduate student leaders spoke at another rally under the auspices of the Student Council. The combined attendance was near the 1,000 mark.

### 4 Meetings At Brooklyn

Four separate meetings at Brooklyn College saw 1,400 students turn out, the largest group meeting in the gym to hear Representative Joseph C. Baldwin, Harry D. Gideon, president of the college, and Arthur G. Hays, counsel to the American Civil Liberties Union.

About 400 attended a meeting called by the American Youth Congress, 150 at the Progressive Students League, and a smaller number under the sponsorship of the Politics Club.

present or past affiliation with the
Communist Party and to repudiate
the testimony of William Martin Can-
ing, documentary evidence in the
form of letters from students and col-
leagues, attesting to their character
and political loyalty of the teachers and
staff members.

The first to testify in the Wednesday session were Dr. Philip S. Foner, instructor in history, and Mr. Foner, clerk in the registrar's office. Both of the denials presented by them formed the pattern of sentiment expressed by those who followed. Both vigorously disaffirmed any connection with the Communist Party and its activities.

Hyman E. Gold, of the administrative staff, termed the evidence flimsy and challenged anyone to find anything in his record that would justify charges of subversive activity.

Murray Gristle, tutor in the English Department, stated that Mr. Canning said to the students "scurrilous and maliciously improper." Pointing to the letters written to him by friends and students affirming his loyalty to American ideals, he contended that he far outweighed in reliability the evidence produced by Mr. Canning, who had merely mentioned him by name.

### Canning Is Accused

Associating their accuser with Father Coughlin, several of the witnesses claimed that Mr. Canning was "getting even" with them for the attacks they had made on Father Coughlin.

James H. Healy, Jr., instructor in public speaking, denied ever knowing Mr. Canning, indicating wonderment as to how Mr. Canning could have accused him of Communist activities. Mr. Healy reiterated his firm allegiance to "traditional American rights and democratic principles."

Encountering his respect for the American form of government, Myron L. Hoch, tutor in economics, evoked the belief that Mr. Canning had confused trade unionism activity with Communist activity.

Crispy, Max L. Hutt, head of the educational clinic, brushed off the "Red Label" placed on him as false. Mrs. Annette Sherman Gottesden, who with Mr. Canning, accused fifty members of the City College administrative and faculty of subversive activities, was denounced by Benjamin Karr, formerly of City College but now teaching at Central Commercial High School, as "one of the most thoroughly disliked persons in the school."

Murray Smolar, of the registrar's office, was the last witness to testify Wednesday. He said that the Communist label pinned on him by Mr. Canning might have been motivated by an argument they had over Father Coughlin,

### S.C.A. Hears Talk
#### By 'Y' Secretary

Ulym Khalil, Secretary of the Y. M.C.A. at Cairo, Egypt, gave an informal talk before the Student Christian Association last Wednesday on the working methods and the subjects of the Y.M.C.A. in the African City. The speaker, who has been doing field work for the Y.M.C.A. in several eastern countries, will leave for Chicago and then go to the coast in the fall. He will return to Cairo by way of the Pacific Ocean, Japan, China, and India.

S.C.A. meets regularly on

simple proposition. All he had to do was call the number of Mr. Johnson that Dr. Love had given him and the mystery would be solved. But unfortunately Mr. Johnson was as elusive as his quarry. Three successive phone calls at Canal 6-2062 failed to locate the detective. Each time a husky voice ominously intoned that "Mr. Johnson is out and won't be back."

As he left the phone booth each time, the Editor glanced around suspiciously to see if he was being followed. Mr. Johnson might be "on" after him. It would have been a simple matter to give himself up but if Mr. Johnson wasn't going to be back, the Editor reasoned that there was no sense sitting around 400 Broome Street waiting for some cop who he didn't even know, to slip the cuffs on him.

"You see," Mr. Keller explained to this reporter, "I didn't know what they wanted me for and I wasn't going

to sit around Police Headquarters to find out. They might have arrested me for a suspicious character. You know those cops are so impulsive. Besides I'm tired of chasing after this guy Johnson. If he wants me, he can find me down at the college. He's getting paid for it."

Mr. Keller said that with an air of determined finality. However, it is reported that he is loitering around Post Offices to see if his picture has been posted there yet.

1 Script conference. Workshop director Kenneth Bartlett, left, will have the final word, but until that word comes the battle royal is on with announcer, production manager, script writer and actor putting in their two cents' worth.

2 The script begins to take shape with script writer Dorothy Ward at the typewriter and producer Paul Scanlon looking on. Both are graduate assistants in the radio workshop.

3 Reading for parts gets underway with more than a hundred students trying out for some twenty-odd roles. Tryouts are held in a small studio from which talks are broadcast.

4 The cast chosen, rehearsals become serious business in the main studio. Producer Scanlon is shown here ironing out some of the rough spots. Workshop announcer Gene Crane is on the far right.

5 Most of the workshop programs are recorded and then aired over local stations as transcriptions. Above is a scene from the School of Journalism script being put on wax.

To Bring Public and University Together
# A Radio Show Is Born

BETWEEN 15 and 20 programs emanate each week from the radio workshop at Syracuse university.

Soon there will be another one called "A University at Work". This series sprang from the idea that a lot of interested people in and around Syracuse know little about the inside workings of a great university. So each week a half-hour show will be written and broadcast about the doings of a particular school or college in the university. Lead-off show in the series will be built around the School of Journalism. Shots on this page show the necessary pre-broadcast preparations before the show is aired.

6 The breathless moment. How did the show come over? The actress, script writer and announcer are apparently not too displeased with the results of their work.
