Bartle of Har-pur College today upheld the right of governmental agencies to investigate the political beliefs of faculty members. At the same time, he said that Communists do not deserve the right to be teachers. But he cautioned that "the present danger to the universities and to society is not radical thinking, but the faculty fear of being misunderstood which makes for timidity and evasion." Dr.

He said of Communists, "In my own opinion, one who has taken the pledge to advocate communism has thereby given up his freedom of decision, his Independence as an investigator and his integrity as a person. He has therefore disqualified himself from the right and privilege of being a tsacher or officer in a college which is dedicated to the concept of freedom." PUBLICITY FEARED He said that faculty fear of being misunderstood results In "timidity and confusion."
