THE KEY WEST CITIZEN
School Probe
Aims At Saving
Free Education
WASHINGTON Iff) Chairman
Jenner (R-Ind) said today ths
Senate internal security subcom
mittee’s search for communism in
the schools is designed “to protect
and safeguard academic free
dom,” not attack it.
“There can be no academic
freedom until this Soviet conspir
acy hidden in our schools and
colleges is exposed to the light
and the rule of Moscow over its
adherents in the education world
is broken,” he said.
Jenner's statement was prepared
for the subcommittee’s resumption
of bearings today and obviously
was intended as a reply to recent
criticisms of congressional investi
gators invading the educational
field. ,
Four witnesses, not named ir
advance, were called to testify
today. Three were described as
professors from the New York City
area and the other as from Wash
ington.
Earlier, Jenner had called Sen.
Taft of Ohio, the Senate Republican
leader, “rather naive” for remarks
he made in a speech in Chicago
on Saturday.
“The record of this committee,
when we complete our hearings,
will be a complete answer to any
thing of that kind,” Jenner said of
Taft’s speech.
Taft had said congresfional in
vestigators have the right to ex
pose Communist teachers. But
Taft, who is a member of the
corporation of Yale University,
also said, “I would not favor fir
ing anyone for being a Communist
unless I was certain that he was
teaching communism and having
some effect on the development of
the thought of the students.”
Jenner’s statement today said
his subcommittee has “overwhelm
ing evidence . . . that there is a
small but dangerous group of
teachers in our public schools and
colleges . . . This network is
operated from Moscow through the
Soviet disciplinary organs in this
country . . .”
“The first line of defense against
this conspiracy,” Jenner contin
ued, “lies in our private schools
and colleges and in the local gov
ernment officials responsible for
tax-supported institutions.”
But he said they are struggling
-against “a world-wide conspira
torial organization” and cannot
meet the threat alone. The func
tion of Congress, he said, is to
help them by dealing with “the
national and international aspects
of this conspiracy,”

New Gov’t Job

The Veterans
Comer
Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administra
tion to four questions of interest to
former servicemen and their fami
lies:
Q. I’m planning to take a coope
rative course in college under the
Korean GI Bill. Part of the course
consists of working at a job in my
chosen field. Will I get my month
ly GI allowances for the periods
when I’m working, or only for the
time I spend in class?
A. The monthly education and
training allowances will be paid
both for your classroom time and
the time you spend on the job.
Your work also is considered part
of your over-all training program.
Q. My husband was killed in
Korea, leaving me his indemnity.
Must I pay taxes on the indemnity
payments I receive?
A. No, Indemnity payments are
exempt from taxation, but the ex
emption doesn’t extend to any pro
perty you may buy with the pay
ments.
Q. My NSLI term insurance
premiums have been waived be
cause of my total and permanent
disability. Is it possible to convert
the term policy to a permanent
plan, even though the premiums
are under waiver?
A. Yes. You may convert your
term policy to any permanent plan
other than an endowment, witbout
medical examination, even
though you are totally disabled.
Q. I am a disabled veteran of
World War U. if 1 meet all the
eligibility requirements, could I
enroll in a four-year law course
under Public Law 16?
A. No The Public Law 16 train
ing program for World War II
veterans ends July 25, 1956. Under
the law, you will be permitted to
take only those courses that can
be completed by that date—which
is slightly more than three years
away.
