PAGE FOUR WASHINGTON —1 have been very much interested in the reactions I have received from people in North Caro lina to the investigation of Commu nism in schools and colleges. Our people have approved this investiga tion in no uncertain terms. A history professor at a leading North Carolina college wrote to me a few days ago heartily approving what our Senate Internal Security Subcommittee is doing. He said, in effect, that he could not see why wit nesses who have nothing to hide should object to efforts being made to weed out those who have something to hid® about their association with Communism. Among other things, this professor said: “I welcome such investigations because I am convinced there is Com munism in education to an alarming degree. But the attempts of (some) professors to hide behind the one clause of the Constitution, which they hate, is very irritating. I do not see why men who are not Communists fear such investigations.” I am hopeful that we will have the cooperation of professors and teach ers who are willing to help us make every effort to rid our schools and colleges of individuals who * are bent on subversive activities. I am confident that there are only a few subversive individuals, when compared with the great body of teachers. We know that teachers generally are loyal to American in stitutions. One witness before our committee the other day told how about 70 in dividuals out of about 2,000 teachers have been running a Communist-domi nated union because the loyal pro fessors had not taken the time to at tend the meetings and to assist in the forming of the policies of the union. My longtime connection with higher education in North Carolina makes me certain that everyone in our State realizes that it will be my purpose to allow no unfairness to creep into any investigation that may be made in the field of education. Certainly the loyal and honest teachers have nothing to fear. On the other hand, I feel that teachers with other inclinations ought to have much to fear. SPRING AND VISITORS Now that Spring is here, groups of high school students are beginning to come by our offices. It’s always a pleasure to see them and their teach ers. My office is Room 345 of the Sen ate Office Building. Senator Hoey is in Room 337, just a few doors dbwn the hall. I hope that every school principal in North Carolina realizes that both Senator Hoey and I are always glad to assist in helping make arrange ments for school classes to come to Washington. It occurs to me that perhaps some general information about the various activities in Wash ington would be helpful in making those plans. Most hotels try to adjust their rates to benefit groups of children. One typical hotel charges $2.75 per stu dent per night (four in a room). Meals can be obtained for about $3.00 a day. 'However, it’s important to make reservations well in advance. I might say, incidentally, that my office will be happy to assist in making those reservations. Here are some facts you may need to know in making your plans, wheth er you’re making individual plans or for a group: CLIP THIS OUT White House—Open every day ex cept Sunday and Monday.
