PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1954 .4 Hatcher Suspends Faculty 'U' Witness Members for Testimony Balk Clardy Evidence Submitted C _ (Continued from Page 1) Brandon indicated that the ac- tion was taken against the three faculty members "on the basis of their refusing to cooperate with the committee. The University's policy is one of cooperation." NO ACTION has been taken, or, according to Brandon, is planned, against Prof. Nathaniel Coburn of the mathematics department, who was subpoenaed but excused from testifying because of illness. A number of petitions claim- ing that Prof. Markert "has in no way made use of the class- room or of his position on the facutly to exert political influ- ence on any student" and af- firming "his competence as a teacher of zoology" and his val- ue to the Departnent of Zoology and to the University," appear- Fordhom University School of Law NEW YORK Three-Year Day Course Four-Year Evening Course CO-EDUCATIONAL Member Assn. of American Law Schools.

At last report, 60 graduate too- ology students and other stu- dents who have studied under Prof. Markert, had signed the petitions. Prof. Edwin Moise of the math- ematics department is circulating a petition supporting Davis among members of the mathematics de- partment faculty. Already, 27 members of the mathematics fac- ulty have signed the petition. A junior in the medical school said last night that practically all the medical school's junior class would be willing to sign a petition affirming that Prof. Nickerson "has never said anything in class that had any bearing on politics," that he is.an 'excellent instructor," and that 'the medical school would suffer if he left the University." A public meeting to be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Auditorium B of Angell Hall and sponsored by the Student Legislature's Academic Freedom Subcommittee has been arranged to allow those from the University who appeared before the committee to present their positions to the public, Etta Gluck- stein, '56, chairman of the subcom- mittee, announced last night. Career Lecture Yehuda Levine, director of the midwest office of Professional and Technical Workers Aliyah, will speak on "Careers in Israel" at 8 p.m. today in the Hillel Bldg., 1429 Hill. Questioning (Continued from Page 1) When Prof. Nickerson refused to answer this, Rep. Clardy point- ed out that one of the three with whom Prof. Nickerson consulted could be called before the Com- mittee. Prof. Nickerson would be helping himself if he got his side of the conferences on record, Rep. Clardy said. * * * DAVIS was asked if he knew anything of an alleged Communist cell that existed on the Harvard University campus while he was a graduate student there between 1946 and 1950. He was then asked his connec- tion with 'Operation Mind', the literature that was circulated in Detroit criticizing the methods and purposes of Clardy's investi- gation. Again the instructor used the First Amendment to refuse an an- swer. It was finally established that Davis had had a passport to Eur- ope taken from him by the govern- ment in November, 1952, but the reasons for the removal were not revealed. THE QUESTIONS directed at Prof. Markert were primarily con- cerned with an alleged trip to! Spain during the Civil War there in the late 1930's. Clardy's committee tried to establish that he wvent there after receiving a passport to travel only in England, France and Germany. The committee brought forth two documents, one the passport allegedly containing Markert's sig- nature, but he used the Fifth Amendment and pleaded inability to recollect in his refusal to answer questions concerning the docu- ments. * * * SHAFFER USED THE Fifth Amendment after almost every question as the committee tried to establish his alleged Communist connections. As the hearings monotonously waned to their conclusion, Sharpe was called to the chair and things livened up considerably. After answering the first few questions, including a list of scho- lastic honors and achievements, Sharpe began protesting questions. In a ten minute speech he said he would refuse to answer inquiries on the basis of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments plus addition- al reasons based on political and moral principles which he elabor- ated. Statements Of Witnesses Made Public (Continued from Page 1) Mark Nickerson, M. D. A fundamental tenet of our de- mocracy is that an individual's po- litical beliefs and associations are not subject to invasion by any agency of government. This was specified in the Constitution of the United States in 1788 because one state after another refused ratifi- cation except upon the condition that the Bill of Rights be incorpor- ated. To require a citizen to cate- gorize his political beliefs opens the way to the application of var- ious pressures to change them, and therefore, to the control of thought and belief. Both as a scientist and as a citizen I have unequivocally re- jected any association or com- mitment which would in any way limit my freedom to evalu- ate evidence objectively and to arrive at my own intellectually honest conclusions. I do not con- sider that the present hearings represent a valid excuse for de- parting from this principle. Although refusal to answer questions relating to espionage, sabotage or related overt law breaking may properly be included under the protection of the fifth amendment, they involve a moral issue entirely different from thatj posed by questions relating to po-! litical beliefs and associations. I feel that it is a part of my respon- sibility as acitizen to answer all pertinent questions in this category to the best of my ability, Henry Owens, Democratic can- didate for Congress and member of the Michigan State Normal Col- lege faculty, will discuss "The Po- litical Outlook for November" at 7:30 p.m. today in Auditorium B, Angell Hall. The talk, sponsored by the Young Democrats, will take place, during their regular meeting, and is open to the public. Construction costs of the 5,000- mile trans-Canada Highway have run as high as $800,000 a mile in some of the difficult mountain re- gions. Owens To Discuss Political Outlook The inner!.
