Resignation Presented At First
Anti-Red Committee Meeting
One of the members of the
American Legion's un-American
activities investigating committee
resigned at the committee's first
meeting, Thursday morning.
The member, Charles Thone,
paid, Official consideration
compel me to refuse the appoint
ment to the investigatory com
mittee. I so advised the commit
tee st its first preliminary meet
ing, and the commander of the
post." Thone is assistant to the
state attorney general.
The committee was appointed
Tuesday by Tost S Commander
Maryelicn Lorton to Investigate
charges that "a certain profes
sor In the University uses a
certain textbook" and that "stu
dents can't swallow the stuff."
Mrs. Lorton told The Nebras
kan that she had accepted Thone's
resignation but that she would
make no new appointment "as
yet." She said perhapr a replace
ment would be named sometime
Friday.
- The "certain professor" ac
cording to Joe Vlnardi, chair
man of the Un-American Ac
tivities Committee of the De
partment of Nebraska Ameri
can Legion, , who made the
charges, is Dr. E. N. Anderson,
professor of history, and the
book Is "The State of Asia,"
published under the auspices of
the Institute of Pacific Rela
tions. The charges, according to Vi
nnTdi and R. C. Patterson, state
legion adjutant, were based on at
letfst one anonymous telephone
call from University students.
The purpose of the committee
appointed by Mrs. Lorton was de
fined Wednesday when she told
The Nebraskan that the commit
tee "would "investigate the whole
matter" of charges of un-American
activities in the University.
According to Committee Chair
man Roy A. Sheaff. however, it
"was appointed to determine the
American Legion's attitude toward
the publications of the Institute of
Pacific Relations as factual ma
terial." "We Vlll meet together," lie
said In a letter to the editor of
The Nebraskan, "to discuss the
problem and report our findings
to the group which has asked
us to determine for them our
opinions."
Sheaff Thursday afternoon said
that the committee was "merely
trying to find out what the facts
in the situation are and obtain
some information. . .We're inter
ested in finding all the facts in the
entire matter from the first
statement on."
He added that the committee is
"gathering factual information on
IPR,"
In the letter to Miss Raymond,
Sheaff said, "I was astounded by
the editorial which appeared in

of Dee. 10 attacked the commit

"No member of the committee
has prejudged or formed an opin

merely because we have been ap

The editor denied any reference

Sheaff said:
"If you, as author of the edi

"The journalistic reporting of
the actual events has not been

Miss Raymond, in her remarks
to the radio stations, said, "Such
an attack on the integrity of the

investigation a " 'guilt by insinu
