The Gazette anc Daily, York, Monday Morning, March 24, 1958 27 News Briefs U. S. Universities Have Cruel Blacklist, Columbia Dean Says New York, UP) Dr. Louis M. Hacker dean of Columbia university's school of general studies, says a "virtual blacklist as mean and cruel as any inquisition" exists in some American universities.

"Administrators of universities have not had the courage to restore to academic life men who have been discharged from teaching posts simply because they refused to answer questions about their private lives by legislative committees," he said. Dr. Hacker has resigned as dean of the school of general studies, effective July 1, as a result of proposals by a faculty committee to change the character of the school. He said he knew "at least a dozen" teachers unable to get jobs because they had refused to testify before legislative committees. He added, however, that he knew of no such situation at Columbia.

Dr. Hacker spoke at a dinner in his honor given by the faculty chapter of the American Jewish Congress. Prober Reviews Moore's Earnings Rep. Mack says Eisenhower in-law made $188,000 lending money to firms doing business with the government. Washington UP).

Mack, a member of the House subcommittee that is investigating alleged influence in federal regulatory agencies, told a reporter this seemed "more than a coincidence."

'More A Liability' And he later said laughingly that from a business standpoint his in-law relationship with the Eisenhowers was "more a liability than an asset." But from the figures available to the subcommittee, Mack said, "I cannot believe it is the disadvantage to be Mrs. Eisenhower's brother-in-law" that Col.

Moore suggested. Mack said the subcommittee files show: That Air Transit Service, entirely owned by Moore or his family, has made $125,000 since 1953 by lending money to com-, panies hauling on government contracts. And "GLB," a "firm that finances trucking companies hauling household goods for servicemen yielded Moore $58,000 between 1953 and 1957. And Air Freight Clearings, a firm incorporated in 1952, netted Moore $5,000. Mack Unsatisfied Mach said he wasn't satisfied either that the subcommittee got the whole story on whether Moore helped swing the Miami Channel 10 TV license for National Airlines, headed by George T.

Baker, Moore's personal friend. Moore said he never even discussed the Channel 10 award with Baker and said it is "simply untrue," that he had any interest or tried to influence the Miami TV channel award. "I think from our testimony it is clear that Mr. Baker depended heavily. upon his friendship with Col.

Moore in his efforts to secure Channel 10." Mack said. rp cziizziczin nn lzzi enj- Open Evenings 'til 9 c- I I South Queen Vs 'j Die) 3 you a COMPLETE HOME 0 6 Months Supply of Tide 20 pc.

Hammond and Horn explain.

It was found that the death rate of men with lung cancer who had given up cigarette smoking a year previous to enrollment in the study of 187,783 men was lower than the death rate for those men who continued to smoke until death.
