Chicago! Rally for freedom Sunday!
IT WAS just at a moment like
this that the issue of fascism
or democracy was decided in Ger
many.
That issue is now before the
American people in the shape of the
Mundt Bill. This Bill is fascism in its
first stages. If you have any doubt,
read the excerpts from the Bill itself

Senate hears Mundt Bill protest
Interview with Miss Noack
Here's story behind
smear of Senn teacher
By ISABEL CARR
THE Chicago Herald-Amer
foan dropped its Red
smear series against Serai High
School civics teacher, Miss
Emilio Noack, like a sizzling
hot potato.
Last Wednesday, May 26, the
“third of a series of revealing
how pro-Communist ideologies
are being taught in Senn High
School,” written by reporter Hy
Del man, and accompanied by
red banner headlines, became
the last of a series—when the
inside story behind the smear
began to emerge.
Investigation into the Hearst
witch-hunt was being conducted,
by Senn authorities behind
closed doors, but some news
leaked out.

IT IS believed that an adult
employee at Senn, not a teacher,
was behind the smear. This per
son, alleged to be a friend of
Hy Delman, is said to have
cooked up Miss NoackJs “pro-

fascism could have been blocked.
America today is at that stage in
the pattern.
! Chicagoans have helped provide
that opposition to the Mundt Bill
! which has prevented the smooth and

planned.
The most important action against
the Bill now is the protest rally at the

material.
The fact that a non-teaching
Sean employe was said to be
behind trumped-up charges
, against Miss Noack was reveal
ing, in view of the fact that the
: Chicago Tribune recently sent
i a copy of its pamphlet, “Propa
ganda in U. S. School Books,”
Coliseum (Wabash and 15th) this
Sunday, June 6, 2:30 p.m.
The sound and the fury of a
packed Coliseum will echo in Wash

We make this appeal to all Star
readers in the name of the fight to |
halt fascism:
Rally for democracy Sunday! Bring
your family and friends, neighbors,
shopmates! Freedom is at stake!

"I REFUTE all such charges
completely,” Miss Noack told a
Star reporter. “I am not a Com
munist and I do not teach com
munism. As a civics teacher I
must define the various types
of governments as they exist.
“How can youngsters fight
something if they don’t know
what it is? I teach them to rec

one from another. As lor myself
I’m a liberal and proud of it.”
Miss Noack drew a deep sigh

chuckled heartily. “Jkrt, my
