The petition was circulated by a ' ive-man impromptu committee. Among its members is Prof. Nor- man E. Nelson, of the English de- partment, who asked last night, "If we don't believe in freedom R of speech, what do we believe in? If we're afraid of someone else's propaganda, what faith do we have in our own beliefs?" OTHER committee members are Dean Hayward Keniston, of the literary college;. Prof. William Frankena, chairman of the philo- sophy department; Prof. Theodore Newcomb, of the sociology and psychology departments; and Prof. William Willcox, of the history de- partment. Prof.nNewcomb said yester- day that "some of the signers of the petition may or may not have interpreted it" as a rebuke against the restrictions imposed by the University Lecture Com- mittee. At least 400 of the 435 faculty members in the literary college were contacted, with 64 per cent of the faculty agreeing to sign the statement. There was not enough time to circulate the peti- tion in other colleges of the Uni- versity. NC PLANS have been made to present the statement formally to the Lecture Committee or to the Regents, because of the unofficial nature of the committee respon- sible for the petition. The complete statement reads: "A university exists to train stu- dents, to pursue free intellectual enquiry. This pursuit is more like- ly to be thwarted than nurtured by a policy of protecting them against 'wrong,' 'dangerous' or unpopular ideas. "True protection lies in the crit- ical attitude which is toughened byconfronting every kind of idea. "A university, therefore, owes two things to itself, to its stu- dents, and to society: the op- portunity of meeting serious ideas of every kind, no matter how fallacious or potentially dangerous they may seem; and the opportunity of examining them objectively. "A university must not fail to foster these opportunities because of any fear of the ideas concern- ed, for fear paralyzes the dyna- mics of a free society and turns its energies into a static defense which jeopardizes freedom. "Therefore, looking to the fu- ture rather than the past, we urge those responsible for University policy to welcome the presentation of widely different points of view on controversial subjects by speak- ers of intelligence and integrity."

Police Rush Aid to Youth Riot Scene West Germiiany Torn by Strife HELMSTEDT, Germany -(P) - Police reinforcements were rushed to the tense eastern borders of Germany last night where thou- sands of youths trekking home from the Communist rally encoun- tered new hostilities. The violence began Tuesday night when several thousand anti- Communists tangled with mem- bers of the Free German Youth, who were singing the Interna- tionale, and burned their blue shirts and flags. TEN THOUSAND German1 youths homeward bound from the rally marooned themselves in a dreary camp just inside the Iron Curtain. They camped at Eich- holz, just outside Luebeck, a Brit- ish -zone city in Schleswig-Hol- stein, and refused to comply with Western Gerniany's police and health regulations. They preferred to leave no record of the fact that they had hailed Stalin in the Whitsunday rally in eastern Berlin. They said that registration would ex- pose them to being blacklisted and fired from their jobs. Here and at other zonal points the young west Germans who took part in the Berlin rally were met with scorn and in some cases hostile outbreaks. Anti-Commu- nist western Germans made no effort to conceal their disgust with the blueshirts. SL Holiday 'Planik Up for Approval "A Thanksgiving holiday week- end vacation may be the result of a Student Legislature plan pre- sented to the Deans' Conference yesterday," according to Dave Be- in, '51, SL's one-man committee for a long Thanksgiving holiday "Many of the deans individual- ly have commented favorably on the plan. They Have only to ap- prove the proposal in conference before final arrangements can be made," Belin said. * * * THE NEW PROPOSAL provides for the addition of classes on the Saturday preceeding Christmas and Spring vacations in place of the two class days of the Thanks- giving week-end. Belin has worked quietly on the proposal for the last four months, consulting with Frank Robbins, assistant to the presi- dent. In addition he has polled several hundred students and many mem- bers of the faculty and administra- tion. The plan has been received eagerly by nearly all, he said. Belin pointed out that under the plan the number of class per- iods of the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday sections would be made equal to those of the Monday, Wednesday, Friday sections. TWO OTHER proposals for a long Thanksgiving vacation, when presented earlier this year, met with little enthusiasm from stu- dents, faculty and administration. Gift To Honor 'U' War Dead Rush Trial For Assault On Soldiers BULLETIN TOKYO-(AP)-Japan's Com- munist party today called for a general strike in retaliation for the trial of eight Japanese for Memarial Day attacks on five American soldiers. TOKYO-44'}--American occu.- pation officials, warning the Com- munists to "behave or else," yes-' terday rushed eight Japanese to trial for physically attacking U.S. soldiers at a Red rally. Evenas the eight went ontrial in occupation court, 200 Japanese students and workers milled out- side the court building. They screamed demands for their com- rades' release. They fled when Japanese and U.S. military police moved out against them. Then they surged back repeatedly, their shouts echo- ing in the courtroom. They dis- persed before the court recessed near midnight. Police all over Japan were alert- ed for new outbreaks of Red vio- lence expected Saturday.
