Limits Objections To Loyalty
Of Book's Authors, Publishers
By KEN RY STROM
Managing Editor
Joe Vinardi, Omaha lawyer
whose charges touched off an
American Legion investigation of
a book -used at the University,
told The Nebraskan Tuesday that
controversy over the book should
be limited to one consideration.
This factor, he said, is the
reputation of the contributors,
editor and publisher of the
book, "State of Asia."
In a specially arranged inter
view, Vinardi. chairman of the
Department of Nebraska Legion
Un-American Activities Commit
tee, 'declared that the following
were irrevelant to consideration
of the use of the book:
1. The argument that its use
is a matter of academic free
dom. 2. Arguments or statements
Concerning the loyalty of Dr.
E. N. Anderson, who used the
book in his History 102 class
last semester.
S. Comments or discussion
concerning contents of the book.
"Wrapping the exposure of the
book in academic freedom," Vin
ardi said, "is very dangerous
thinking. He said that academic
freedom is being used as a force
to protect something that would
destroy academic freedom."
He concluded that the issue
of academic freedom raised by
The Nebraskan and the American
Association of University Pro
fessors was not a part of the con
troversy over the use of the book.
He denied a report that he
"In no way doubts the integ
rity, loyalty or patriotism of
Dr. Anderson." What he meant,
he said, was that he does not
make the question of Dr. An-'
derson's loyalty part of the es
sential facts of the investiga
tion. Nevertheless, Vinardi reiterated
his earlier statement that Ander
son should admit that he "made
a careless mistake in choosing
and using the text,
"I don't know what was taught
in; the course," he said, but "I
think Anderson should stand up
and be counted" on the side of
Americanism.
"I think he is making an
even greater mistake in defend
ing the author" of the book,
Vinardi said, by calling the
text "a reputable book put out
by a reputable publisher and
written by reputable authors."
Either Anderson was "very
naive or utterly uninformed," he
said, when the text was chosen.
Now that the reputations of per
sons connected with the book
have been exposed, Vinardi said,
Anderson should definitely admit
that he was wrong in its use.
"'He's helping to mold the
minds of the youth of the state,"
he said. This is a secred trust
reposed in him," he said.
Vinardi told The Nebraskan
that he had purchased a copy
of "State of Asia" from a Uni
versity bookstore and that he
had read the chapter written by
Mr. and Mrs. Owen Lattimore.
When asked his opinion of the
contents of the book in general
and the Lattimore chapter In
particular, Vinardi answered
that he had his own opinions
but that the contents were "be
alde the point."
He called the actual state
ments In the book "side issues"
and "tangent" to the main issue.
In The Nebraskan Monday
"Vinardi was quoted as asking,

He called for the use of Com
munist literatureif It is care
fully labeled as such and if it is
explained as being subversive.
Vinardi criticized use of a story
told by Dr. Anderson last week.
The story:
"A boy who had attended a
university went home on vacation
and his father said, 'I understand
they teach you about Communism
there.' The boy replied, 'Yes, and
they teach us about syphlllis but
they don't recommend it.' "
Vinardi called the story
clever" but "not apropos
said that the boy did not tell his
father that "They are not putting
germs in my blood stream."
When questioned why he dis
approved o" the use of "State of
Asia," Vinardi said the doubts

that he might incriminate him

their attention to the book "writ-

He was quoted as sa. , ""If

Vinardi told The Nebraskan
that be had been misquoted on
his statement calling for loyalty
oaths. An early news tory said
Vinardi "recommended that the
Lincoln Legion group 'initiate a
program in the school system
in this elty to require a loyalty
oath.' '
Later it was reported that all
teachers in Lincoln public schools
now sign such oaths.
Vinardi said he knew that thp
Lincoln teachers signed lovaltv
oaths. He was calling, he said, for
extension of the program to
teachers not paid out of oublir
funds.
It is inconceivable, he said,
that some teachers should have
to subscribe to oaths while oth
ers do not.

the UN command in Korea "appeared" to violate Geneva Conventions
on war prisoners. The committee referred to the Koje Island pri-
veryson riots last spring in which American and South Korean guards
weikilled many Communist Prisoners
The committee said the Incident appeared to violate the clause
which states "The use of weapons against prisoners of war, es
pecially those who are escaping or attempting to escape, shall con
stitute an extreme measure, which shall be preceded by warning
appropriate to the circumstances."
The Legion Reports
The American Legion commit
tee investigating use of the book
f! "'State of Asia" submitted its pre-
liminary report to Maryellen
Lorton, commander of Post eo. s,
Tuesday afternoon.
The report follows:
December 16, 1952
To the Commander of
American Legion Post No. S
Lincoln, Nebraska
Dear Commander:
Tour Special Committee here
with submits to you our pre'
liminary report:
1. At the regular meeting of
Lincoln Post No. 3, December ,
1952, Mr. Fred Bramlage, Past
National Vice Commander, deliv
ered the mam address. On the
program with 1. Bramlage was
Mr. Joe Vinardi of Omaha, Chair
man of the un-American Activ
ities Committee for the Depart
ment of Nebraska. Following the
talKs there was an open discussion
at which time Mr. Vinardi stated
that a certain book bad been used
as a text book by a eertain pro
fessor at the University of Ne
braska, '"which the students
couldn't swallow". No names were
mentioned in the meeting and no
official action of the Legion was
taken at that time. The follow
ing day a committee was ap
pointed to consider the matter.
2. After the regular meeting Mr.
Vinardi was interviewed by re
porters. The newspaper reports of
the following day, giving the name
of the book and the name of the
nrof essor were as much of a sur-
prise to the legionaires attending! ' a
the meeting as they were to K&COtTllTt&nClS
university professor. The profes- "wifwa
sor however later stated that 'it f q f
is a reputable book put out by ilJCflOQI rTOflA

4. Your committee agrees with
Mr. Vinardi's opinion that the use
of "State of Asia" as an objective
factual textbook is questionable
and supports its position with the
following available research ma
terial.

which through numerous pub
lications and releases have
taken the position that the In
stitute of Pacific Relations
through its most 'vocal person
nel has injured the interests of
the United States in China and
Asia while benefiting the Sov
iets. (b) Report of eonclusions of
the Special Judiciary Sub
Committee of the United States
Senate, filed July 2, 1952. That
committee convened for a full
year and examined 20,000 doc

reports are now In 14 volumes.
From the numerous on

reference to the Institute of
Pacific Relations, Its publica
tions and its personnel, we offer
the 'following which is immed

Concerning the sponsors of the
book State of Asia:
"The institute of Pacific Re
lations has not maintained the
Character of an objective, schol

Concerning editor and co

"Rosinger was called a cdm-

the sub committee hearings, and

"Owen Lattimore was for some

Yonr committee will con
tinue its study of the matter,
and has asked for a great deal
more research material. Since
these reports are available it
would seem to pose the question
to universities and schools
Should the conclusions, findings
and evidence developed in this

when used as objective, factual
material? This effort f course
should be undertaken by and

Miss "Raymond, -commenting
on Carpenter's 'Statement, said,
"My entire reaction to Mr. Car

it feeds itself on matters of

The Governor went on to ex
plain that ha thought the liberal
arts college should come first.
Agricultural College second and
from there on whatever colleges
and schools "as the state can af
ford." "I think it is unfortunate," said
Peterson, "that the University fot
into some of the colleges we got
into. Journalism is one."
Chancellor Gustavson Agreed
with the governor that the Uni
versity should cot expand and
add colleges of veterinary medi
cine or mining. But he contended
that one college could not be
singled out as more important
than another.
The work of the present col
leges is interlocking, he said. Gus
tavson contended that on the uni
versity level you have to look
at the broad work of a group cf
colleges.
Peterson's statement cf elimi
nating what he term "fringe" col
leges was not enthusiastically re
ceived by University officials.
William F. Swindler, director of
the school of journalism, said, 1
have heard Gov. Peterson make
this statement every year since
IVe been at the University"
The school of journalism was
Peterson's example of an unnec
essary schooL
The school oi journalism.
Swindler said, is a creation of the
Board of Regents, which has the
responsibility of what is and Ssnt
taught at the University. It
would he a serious threat to
higheT education," Swindler
stated, "'if the political branch of
the government were to dictate
this instead."
Swindler claimed that the
school could hardly be called m
"fringe program or inovation"
since it win observe 5ts thirtieth
anniversary in 1953. The school
is a leader in the journalism pro
fession, he said, and is well recog
nized by competent newspaper
men of Nebraska and the na
tion."
The school of journalism's
budget amounts to less than one
half of one per cent of the re
quested appropriation for the Uni
versity. One University official ex
pressed the opinion that Peterson
has been off the Tecord in favor
of cutting down or completely
eliminating the schools of jour
nalism and fine arts and the col-
loge of Pharmacy ever since he
became governor.
The University's request lor
43 per cent increase in the operat
ing budget for the college of medi
cine brought forth two exuestions
from the Governor.
