Show GI Joes In U. S. Colleges f Doing Fine BY PAUL F. ELLIS United Press Science Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 28 (U.P.) This is a progress report on how the 1,500,000 former GI Joe's are do ing in college after one full se mester. They are doing fine. A United Press nationwide sur vey of some 200 college and uni verslties showed today that at 'least 90 per cent of the former servicemen are making better than Dassing grades, and have conquered the tricky problem of adjustment from army to campus, Most of these young men in the 90 per cent group will go on through their four-year-course, " and some may finish, ahead of : time, their professors report. The survey further shows that a small percentage of the former .GI Joes are dropping out of school, but that new students, fresh from the army, are taking their places. The colleges and universities now have about 2,000,000 studentsincluding stu-dentsincluding the non-vets and the peak is not expected to .taper off until 1948, probably before 1950. The survey showed that mar ried veterans, even those with children, are making the best grades of all. This particular group is found on the honor rolls at virtually all schools. The GI Joes are taking the tough courses, such as chemistry. other sciences, including medicine medi-cine and engineering. They shy away from the cultural subjects. They want technical education and a good-paying job when they graduate. Two typical faculty comments Dean William Huntley, of the Adelbert college of Western Re , serve university, said: "If there is any immediate problem, it is the possibility that the vet is working work-ing too hard." Dr. Finley Foster, professor of English, Western Reserve: "Be fore the war. the student writing a theme had to struggle to use his imagination because of his lack of experience, but the vet eran has a wealth of material to write about. Several thousand veterans have dropped out of school. Many of them quit after making unsatisfactory unsatis-factory grades. Others resigned because of offers of employment, while still others just couldn't readjust themselves. But the overall picture shows that the veteran, a serious mind ed student, is taking higher edu cation in the same winning stride that carried American boys to victory in. war. . Couple Sentenced For Helping Nazi Officer to Escape DETROIT, Jan. 28 (UP.) Mr. and Mrs. James McBride received prison sentences Monday of four years each for helping a former Hermann Goering bodyguard es- r cape from a California prisoner- of-war camp. Federal Judge Arthur F. Lederle, who imposed the sentences, sent-ences, told the 40-year-old McBride Mc-Bride and his blonde Prussian-born Prussian-born wife, Joan, 42, that they had "justly earned the contempt of all patriotic Americans." "The best sentence probably would be to send you both to Germany so you could live under a system you both worked for," Lederle said. Tears filled Mrs. McBride's eyes as the sentence was read, but McBride looked at the floor stoically. The McBrides were accused of aiding Germany army Pvt. Rudolph Ru-dolph $oelch, a former Bavarian chimney sweep, to escape from Camp Hahn, Cal.. and harboring him four months in Detroit. yOU CAN'T HAVE SOAPS, I WOOUENS, l I TIR6S,CAKS, l I IKONS, ETC., I WITHOUT ff FATS AND OILS.

And she doesn't' want to be an actress. A psychology major at the university. uni-versity. Miss Newton Is writing a paper on the "Effectiveness of Motion Picture Publicity" in order or-der to get . her master's degree. She wanted to make the research very complete, and so she visited Producer Robert Riskin. who has been a Hollywood executive for many years. Riskin decided that Janie was seeking the information that he would like to have information that would help him in planning publicity campaigns. So he gave her a Dart in a new picture. In order to test the effectiveness of movie publicity, Janie is acting as her own press agent. She had her first press conference confer-ence the other day. Seated on a desk with her legs crossed the way any veteran actress would do, she answered questions in a candid fashion, and smiled for the constant flashes of the cameras. Miss Newton has some original ideas on publicity. She doesn't like "cheesecake pictures which are the leg-revealing shots which most publicity agents deem a "must" for an actress. "I'm not sure leg art is necessary. neces-sary. I'm not even sure it is nice,". she said. But she was willing to have the "cheesecake pictures taken. All for the sake of her homework, of course. "Portrait shots, and informal pictures showing people doing the things they like to do are the pictures pic-tures that I always look at in a newspaper." she said, passing up the leg-revealing poses. When asked if she thought that leg art makes a picture popular, Rep. Gifford Imparts Timely Advice To New Congressmen By FREDERICK C. OTIIMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 28 (U.R) Rep. Charles L. Gifford of Barnstable, Barn-stable, Mass., is a comfortable-looking comfortable-looking little man with gray hair, gold-rimmed eyeglasses, apple cheeks, a mellifluous voice, and 24 years experience as a congressman. con-gressman. He knows about ladies, lawmaking, law-making, taxes, poetry, loudspeakers, loud-speakers, ants-in-pants, taking-the-jack-from-Jackson, deficits, blockheads, bookworms, democrats, demo-crats, and other subjects I hope won't be too numerous to mention men-tion here. For two weeks he had been observing the nervous, fumble-tongued fumble-tongued new members squirming in their seats. He decided they needed some advice. This resulted in one of the most delightful speeches I ever heard. He'd hardly hard-ly begun before Rep. Thomas A. Jenkins of Ohio interrupted to say that he was, indeed, a beloved be-loved and unassuming gentlenan. "It has been said that flattery flat-tery is the food of fools," Rep. Gifford replied. He. said he supposed he had mellowed with the years. "I ought to love everybody," he added, "But I don't." Among those he does love are the ladies; in particular the ladies of congress. He named them all, pointed them out and listed their charms. "These wonderful women are attractive," he said. "They're dangerous. dan-gerous. There is never a vacant seat beside one of them. That they have influence is obvious." He hoped congress would re move its loudspeakers, because the poorest speakers, himself in eluded spoke the most. Bureaus and bureaucrats, he said, continue to grow like ant hills. "And I wonder," he continued "whether this isn't the cause of the expression, 'ants in our pants 7 He pointed a stubby finger at the Massachusetts Democrat, John W. McCormack, whom he accused of watching him closely. McCormack said he was not, he was listening with great interest. "Do not be carried away too much by this man, you new mem bers," Rep. Gifford urged. "In oratory he is unexcelled. He pointed then at another congressman, a youngster on NEA Denounced As 'Company Union' WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (U.R) The American Federation of Teachers (AFL) today denounced the national education association associa-tion as a "company union" that has failed to do anything to get teachers a "decent scale of wages." The NEA promptly replied that any organization that seeks to put teachers and school administrators administra-tors into "opposing camps" does a "distinct disservice to education and to the teachers themselves."

Especially for publicity pictures. Hollywood probably never thought one of its "publicity agents" would ever say a thing like that. She's very tight-lipped about the results of her publicity so far, and she won't reveal her plans for publicizing herself. Maybe she's afraid someone else will write a school paper on the same subject. "I'm very anxious to get a good mark on my research," she said. Jane Newton: "Sex appeal is wonderful . . . but it isn't necessary." the Democratic side. "I want to observe only that the Democrats don't pay much attention to Andy Jackson any more, except on his birthday, . when they hold $50-a-plate dinners," he said, still pointing. "This is known as taking the jack from Jackson." Jack-son." Rep. Gifford said he never was so frightened as when he made his first speech in congress more than two decades ago. This was a good thing. Too bad he still wasn't. frightened. "Then I could hold my tongue," he added. He urged that the new congress reduce taxes, so that the citizens would have an incentive to work. He spoke about federal fiscal policies and remembered that he recited a poem 10 years ago which went like this: "Hugh little defi cit, don't you cry; you'll be at tractive, by and by." He mentioned block - heads andor bookworms in government and said congressmen seldom liked hard, cold facts, because these interfered with their pre judices. He closed (I'm forced after all to skip some of his best phrases) with the suggestion that the lawmakers let their con sciences be their guides. "You can always subdue your con science," he said. "I once claimed here on the floor 4hat the man with a conscience is just plain yellow. One of my constituents read this and wrote me: 'And so are you'." Rep. Gifford sat down.

Flynn, well-known author and journalist, today launched in a pamphlet called "The Smear Terror" Ter-ror" a scathing attack upon the activities of a group of privately-financed privately-financed gestapos or aecret police organizations which, for political clients, specializing in ruining the reputations' of their political enemies. . Th& attack appeared first in a five-day aeries in the Chicago Tribune and is now issued in pamphlet form. These gestapos, Flynn charges, are created, under the guise of leagues arid committors, commit-tors, freauentlv backed by a few well-known names, ostensibly for the - purpose of championing "democracy" "de-mocracy" or "peace." Behind this mask they maintain secret files on the private lives of public pub-lic men, employ secret undercover under-cover men to prpwl around under false names, enter people's homes nr offices, ransack their files and issue reports artfully framed to discredit their victims as "anu-semitic" "anu-semitic" or pro-fascist." Whoever is anti-communist is called pro-fascist. pro-fascist. These secret police . agencies seem to have ample funds, according ac-cording to Flynn, who demands that congress investigate them without delay in order to determine de-termine who finances them and in whose interest they operate. Among the organizations named and described in great detail arc The Friends of Democracy,, the Anti-Nazi league and several lesser committees. The Friends of Democracy is run by Rex Stout, detective story author and one of the founders of the New Masses, communist magazine, and by Dr. Leon Birkheard. former Kansas City preacher, who, according to Flynn, while occupying a Christian Chris-tian puplit welcomed communist meetings into his church and wrote numerous articles in atheist athe-ist magazines attacking ministers, Christians and religion itself. The Anti-Nazi league, supported by a group of New Yorkers, is now engaged, according to Flynn. in stirring up animosities between negroes and whites in the south. Flynn declares that the people tolerate secret police activity by the state to hunt down criminals but that privately-financed secret sec-ret police and undercover men for political controversy is un-American un-American and should be exposed by congress and adequately dealt with. Subversive Probe Stepped Up WASHINGTON. Jan. 28 (U.R) The war department today stepped up its drive to purge subversive civilian employes from army posts. In a directive to all army installations. in-stallations. Secretary of War Robert Rob-ert P. Patterson ordered a new method of procedure under which commanding officers are given broad discretionary powers in initiating in-itiating dismissal action. Under the new procedure, even rn doubtful cases a commanding officer may suspend an employe for 90 days if he thinks the em ploye "jeopardizes the security of the installation. After suspension, the case would be turned over to army intelligence officers who would investigate and report to Patter son. If they recommended dis missal and Patterson concurred, the employe would be removed. If found not guilty, he would be restored to his job. Patterson said an accused employe em-ploye would be given ample opportunity op-portunity to state his side of the case, both during questioning by army intelligence and later before be-fore a review board. Dismissal of . army and navy employes for subversive activities activi-ties is authorized by public law 808. Yesterday, Patterson turned down an appeal for reinstatement by five civilian employes at the army proving grounds, Aberdeen, Md. They were discharged last June for alleged subversive activities. ac-tivities. The five, all officers of the CIO United Public Workers of America, Amer-ica, charged that their dismissal was a case of "union busting."
