Beutel
Charges
Student's Letter
Is 'Tominyrot'
By Marilyn Coffey
"This is just trash," Fred
erick Beutel, professor of law,
said of statements Sen. Jack
Romans of Ord said a law
student had made about Bea
ters classes.
"It purports to be what
some law student remem
bered from a discussion that
involved some 40 people over
a period of nine months,"
Beutel said.
"Even if it were true, so
what?" he said.
Asked about his alleged de
fense of Harry Bridges, Beu
tel said, "I did no such thing."
Some of the statements
are "fairly accurate if a per
son understands the law in
volved," the professor said.
Others, he continued, are
"out-and-out lies" and "tom-
myrot."
Asked about his stand
on an investigation ot me
hiring policies of the Univer
sity's Law College, Beutel
told the Nebraskan:
"I, for one, would welcome
such an investigation since I
was responsible for establish
ing the current hiring policy.
have hired nearly half of
the present faculty."
Beutel was dean of Law Col
lege when it was re-estab
lished in 1946. The college
had been temporarily closed
because of the World War II.
Morse Supports
Prof. Bernstein
"Much ado about noth
ing," was the view of Sen.
Wayne Morse, Democrat
from Oregon, about the
criticism of Merton Bern
stein in the Legislature.
Morse said that to set the
record straight, it should
be known that Bernstein
"although not an ADA
member when he acted in
the capacity as my assis
tant, served as my alter
nate on the national board
for ADA, and on many
other committees of ADA
whenever I was 'inable to
attend a meeting,"
Such representation by a
staff member, said Morse,
is not uncommon and is
necessary in the case of
many ADA members who
cannot attend all meetings.
Morse had been ADA
vice chairman since 1953,
"and proud to be," he said.
BUILDLNG WRECKING AND TOY REPAIR were only a
few of the tasks undertaken by over 300 Nebraska fra
ternity men Saturday for the IFC's annual Community
Service Day. At left a minor wrecking job is undertaken
on the old Student Health Building by Bernie Grossman
(left) Mel Lewis, and Chuck Greenwald. Above, two
Impromptu toy repairmen Denney Ellithorpe and Mike
Casey find a basement full of toys in need of only a little
fixing to put them in shape. Both projects shown were
undertaken at the LARC school, one of seven points in or
around Lincoln assisted by the IFC. The workers met at
8 a.m. on the Union steps for assignment to their various
tasks by workday chairman Marty Sophir.
The Daily
on Law Professors
Formal Disapproval
Sen. J. W. Burbach, co-introducer
of a legislative reso
lution asking formal senatori
al disapproval of recent
charges against University
faculty members, expressed
confidence that the resolution
would be adopted.
Senatorial support of the
resolution, expected to be
brought up on the floor today,
appears to be strong, the Crof
ton senator said.
Two Points
The resolution states that
in view of the amount of work
the legislature has to do be
fore adjournment, the major
ity of the unicameral should
go on record:
1. Against "unfounded In
sinuations and charges of dis

Romans Says 'Liars
Not Fit for Teachers'
By George Mover
"Anyone who lies is not
fit to be teacher," state
senator Jack Romans told
the Daily Nebraskan- Fri
day. "I'm not paying any at
tention to his membership
in any organization," the
senator said, "But if the
record shows he lied, then
he shouldn't be teaching
our young folks."
Membership Denied
Sen. Romans referred to
Law College professor Mer
lon Bernstein, who told the
Legislature's Labor Com
mittee that he had never
been a member of the
Americans for Democratic
Action.
"I never implied that
membership in the ADA
was a bad thing," Romans
said. "Professor Bernstein
wrote us a letter saying he
had been a member of the
ADA for a while some time
ago, (1950) but that was
wrong too.
"If anyone wants to see
the evidence on this, they
can come down to the
statehouse and I'll show
them. It's right there in
the record," Romans said.
Name Mentioned
He then produced a copy
of the "ADA News" for
April, 1958 in which Bern
tioned as a member of an
ADA committee.
"I'm sure," he said,
"that these men all have
brilliant minds, and are
tops in their fields, but

lative chamber against Uni
versity faculty members
whose employment is the re
sponsibility of the Board of
Regents."
2. Reaffirming its "faith and
confidence in the abilities and
qualifications of the Chancel
lor and the Board of Regents
to operate the Unversity of
Nebraska and to determine
the qualifications of its facul
ty."
The measure was introduced
In the legislature Friday by
Sens. Burbach, Norman Otto
of Kearney and Joe Vosoba
of Wilber.
The action followed another
statement by Sen. Jack Ro
mans cf Ord expressing his
objections to the employment
of Prof. Frederick Beutel and
that's not the issue here.
"We checked up on these
men (Professors Bernstein,
Beutel and Foote) and on
their records," the 44-year-old
Romans said.
When asked who he
meant by "we," he replied
that it was himself and a
group of Lincoln attorneys.
'Seen Before'
"They aren't all young,"
he said. "They range in
age from about 55 down to
30. "They've seen things
like this before."
Turning to other sub
jects, Sen. Romans dis
cussed his background.
"You think the Univer
sity is a fine place. Well,
my daughter does too.
She's coming up here next
year when she graduates
from high school," he said.
Romans has four chil
dren. There are two boys
and two girls in the fam
ily. The oldest boy helps
in Romans' trucking busi
ness. Politics Not New
"We have about 25
trucks when a couple
aren't laid up for repairs,"
he said. "I've been in the
trucking business since
1939 when I started with
my dad and brothers."
The senator is alone in
the business now.
"Politics isn't a brand
new thing with me either,"
he commented. "I've been
in it on the local level for
years. I ran for the legisla
ture four years ago, but got
beat."
"The dean of the
involved conducts a
inary investigation
college
the
professor he wishes to hire,"
the Chancellor said.
"He asks the following
general questions about the
individual:
"Is he a good citizen?
"Is he a good teacher?
"Will he be able to operate
effectively in the University
environment?
"We never ask a man
about his politics that's his
affair. As long as he is a
good citizen, we will support
his rights to act as one," the
chancellor said.
After this preliminary in
vestigation, the dean 'of the
college for which the profes
sor is going to teach gets to
gether with the professor for
a talk on terms. If the dean
is satisfied and they reach
an agreement on terms, a
recommendation is made to
the chancellor's office.
"We examine the recom
mendation and - submit it to
the Board of Regents for
approval," Hardin said. ''It's
about as simple as that"

the former employment ol
Caleb Foote by the Law Col
lege. Brooks' Comment
Romans, who operates a
truck line, also commented
on Gov. Ralph Brooks' ear
lier statement that Prof. Mer
ton Bernstein "would make a
very poor truck driver and by
the same token, Romans would
make a very poor professor
of law."
"The governor's comments
... arc an insult to all track
drivers in this state," Romans
told the legislature.
"I think that a Nebraska
truck driver knows more
about the best interests of tha
state than a law professor im
ported a few months ago
from Washington, D.C.," ha
continued.
No Denial
"I have never denied I be
long to the Nebraska Track
Association for lack of me
mory or any other reason,"
he commented.
Bernstein, professor of law
and former assistant to Sen.
Wayne Morse of Oregon, was
a labor law specialist in Wash
ington before coming to the
University. He testified last
month before the Labor and
Public Welfare Committee
that he had never been a
member of the Americans for
Democratic Action. In a later
letter to the legislature, he
said that "contrary to my
recollection," he had belonged
to ADA.
Caleb Foote's "two convic
tions cannot be shrugged off
by the Chancellor as having
been for refusal to violate his
religious beliefs," Romans
contended.
. 'Objection No Crime'
"Conscientious objection
during World War II was not
a crime," the senator said.
"Many conscientious objectors
showed their loyalty and com
plied with the law by report
ing for duty as conscientious
objectors.
"This is not the case with
Prof. Foote. He was sentenced
to six months and again for
two years imprisonment for
deliberate refusal to report as
a conscientious objector. Such
a man certainly should not
be put on the government pay
roll or in a position to influ
ence our students," Romans
continued.
Foote, currently at the Uni
versity or Pennsylvania, was
a professor of law here from
1954 to 1956.
"Nor," Romans told the
senators, "can the chancellor
justify Mr. Foote's presence
at the Nebraska University
by saying that Mr. Foote
'was cleared by a full presi
dential pardon.' Pardons are
often given as a matter of
almost routine after a man
has served his sentence.
'Rubber Stamped'
"They are sometimes al
most 'rubber stamp' affairs
and merely restore civil rights.
A pardon does not forgive or
excuse or clear Mr. Foote of
his crimes nor change his
views on the duties of the loy
al citizen," Romans said.
Romans next spoke of Prof,
Beutel, once dean of Law Col
lege, now a member of tha
law faculty.
"A student In his class this
year quotes him as having
told his class, among other
things, that he had never met
a dangerous Communist and
that he could not see that
they posed a threat to our se
curity," Romans said.
"The student says Beutel
has on at least three occa
sions defended the notorious
Harry Bridges and has ex-
pressed-sympathy for the hard
ships caused Bridges by cases .
brought against him by the
government," the senator con
tinued. These statements and oth
ers," he concluded, "cannot
be excused by Mr. Beutel
merely saying 'trash.' "
Sen. Vosoba, co-introducer
of Friday's resolution, told the
Legislature that Romans'
"whole campaign against the
law professors is an insult
to all the professors, an insult
to the legislature and an in
sult to the State of Nebraska."
