PAGE TEN MONDAY EVENING, The Portsmouth Herald MAY 16, 1949 University of New Hampshire students "foxed" the town of Durham last week in a iittle political by-play that could have excited some notoriety--and it's surprising that it didn't. Prof. Herbert Phillips, recently discharged from the faculty of the University of Washington for miHpcctcd Communal wmi scheduled to speak on the town common. But the town of Durham in cited, "No, the professor won't speak here." Chairman A. D.

Littlehale of the board of selectmen claimed that the board had received notice of the intended speech too late to have it properly authorized. When the students in charge of speech plans buttonholed Selectman Littlehale he referred them to the law firm of Hughes and Burns in Dover, who, acting for the town, read the students the section of the legal code pertaining to licenses for meetings. A crowd gathered on the common for the speech, anyway, and when informed of the ban, moved on to Notch hall on the campus where Professor Phillips "conversed" over coSee. Commented the student newspaper, The New Hampshire, in an The important point is not that he (Professor Phillips) spoke, but rather a the university itself did not make arrangements. If the students themselves were sufficiently informed on all sides of political questions, Professor Phillips would not have had nearly the effect that he was able to evince.

O.VE DOWNTOWN OBSERVER told political soothsayer, E. Pluribus Unum. the nthrr clay a Councilman Mary C. Dondero plans to announce her rofuMil In run for mayor prior to the city manager referendum In order to enhance her attempt to get the "reform system" abolished. The councilman figures, according to Unum's informant, that many Republicans who would vote for city managership because they fear her possible return to office, could thus be persuaded to vote out the manager plan.

E. Pluribus Dnum himself is speculating on John R. Mclntire's early-bird announcement of his candidacy for governor and wondering who will manage his 1950 campaign. The newest announcement of layoffs at the rinvy yard prompted one real estate dealer to groan, "If this keeps up I'll quit the real estate business and concentrate on Ever notice that a long fluorescent light tops the fence railing of the Kernwood bridge between Salem and Beverly, "Red" Davis, Eliot bus driver, commenting: on the navy yard layoffs, recalled how during the war eight buses ran back and forth between the navy yard and Exeter alone. "It used to take 20 minutes just to get from the yard to Market square," Davis remembers.

Here's a suggestion for Portsmouth husbands whose wives report tardily for a downtown rendezvous. In Gardner, where parking meters were newly installed, Police Chief Cyrille LeBlanc tells of the man who arranged for a meeting place with his wife. Reporting promptly, the man dropped a few pennies into the meter and when his wife breathlessly arrived late, the indignant husband simply pointed to the time ticked off by the meter. THIS NOTE ACCOMPANIED A POLL TAX BILL which came back to the tax assessors office: "He died. His estate has been settled and there ain't no money left.

You'll have a hell of a chance collecting The Ancient Order of Hibernians gathered in the GAR hall for their regular meeting last week. As usual, the kitchen stove was lit the customary coSee which was to be served after the session. As the meeting got under tray, someone closed the kitchen door. A short while later a member remarked, "I gas." This prompted a sudden dash to the kitchen, which ended at the door. The lock had snapped and no one had a key.

The ex- membership sent a delegation out to look for a policeman. But was not a cop to be found on the streets and the searchers had to go all the way to the police station. In the meantime, another member began calling all the Kerseys listed in the telephone book in an effort to reach George Hersey, the janitor of the hall. Then, Eureka! He was found. And when the situation was explained, he calmly told the agitated Hibernians that they had only to reach up beside a window of the assembly room and lift tfae'key from where it was hanging.

The perturbable Phil Gray is greatly upset by accusing reports that all the tickets to the "Lost Boundaries" premiere have been sold to friends of the sponsoring Exchange club members. And seeing as how the tickets haven't even been printed yet, he seems to have just cause for concern. Stonelelgh college in Rye has been out of operation for several years, but only a few days ago Atty. Thomas J. Morris received a reply to an old advertisement in which a father expressed a desire to have his daughter registered as a student.

Red Cooperation Seen Only Way To Ease Tension NEW BEDFORD, May 16 (AP)--A siate department official says that threat of Soviet aggression will not be lifted until Russia shows it is ready to engage in "genuine cooperation." Dr. William P. Maddox, director of the Foreign Service institute declared yesterday that despite the Berlin truce danger of Soviet-Communist expansion is not over. Speaking at a celebration of "I Am an American day" under auspices of the American Legion, Maddox asserted: "At a bitter and terrifying cost our American democracy learned one vital lesson ns a result of (the last) war, and that lesson must rever be forgotten. REPEAT IT NOW and I underscore it: The evidence of history demonstrates that Isolation, on the one and weakness and unpreparedness, on the other, are an open invitation to aggression." Madciox said that "despite the truce over Berlin," the threat of aggression has not been lifted.

He added that it "will not be lifted -until the Soviet Union demonstrates in all of its policies and actions that it has finally and unequivocally repudiated aggression of every type and description; and that it is ready to engage in genuine cooperation with all ol the United Nations."

Political Roundup Republicans Aren't Sure A Slump Will Help Them By JACK BELL WASHINGTON, May 16 (AP)--Republicans are divided over whether an economic recession would help or hamper their chances of recapturing control of Congress in the 1950 election campaign. One school of thought holds in private discussions that the party in control of Congress, but more particularly in control of the White House, is bound to suffer reverses if business tapers off, unemployment grows and farm prices slump sharply. Those GOP members who along Ulii; line say l.luit one of reasons they lost election- and Congress along with it--last year was because the country was in a boom period and not enough people administrations.

On the other hand, some Repub- set up, is not likelv to benefit from any sharp recession. OUT OUR WAY THIS AIN'T filTTIM 1 A PIECE OP CHICKINJ OUT WITHOUT HIM 6MELLIW' IT TH' JOB! WHV MOTHERS -GET 6RAY tend that the memory of what Franklin D. Roosevelt did in 1930s in an effort to bring the the country out of depression still is green in the memories of most voters. They say privately they don't think they could outpromise the Democrats in the relief and public works fields to which the nation is almost certain to resort If hard times arrive. Democratic leaders privately are hoping that the mechanical difficulties of holding Senate sessions a July 1 may help speed up business.

Contracts already have been let to put new roofs on the House and Senate chambers. The Senate is going to have to move into cramped quarters. The number of spectators will be limited, and press and radio facilities won't be the best. Leaders think senators who have been doing a lot of talking since January may be inclined to do more voting when the galleries are restricted. REPUBLICANS THINK the have a chance of sneaking over their candidate in the special election tomorrow in New York City to fill the Congress seat of the late Sol Bloom.

Their hope lies in the possibility that Franklin D.

Maine's Doldrums Lift; 'Prosperity' Due in June PORTLAND, May 16 (AP)--Those promised bright spats finally nre beginning to show In Maine's economic picture.
