CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 27— Resolutions providing for public ac- knowledgement of any “close connec- tion between public utilities and the academic profession” and to provide for a plan to insure freedom of speech and tenure of office for college pro- fessors were adopted late today by the Association of American University Professors. The first resolution provides that any | member of the organization who tes- | tifies or speaks in public on behalf of an organization or individual paying him a retainer fee shall make public | the fact that he is being paid. The report of the association’s com- mittee which investigated the spread- ing of propaganda by public utility corporations through academicians said that many college professors were re- celving fees of as much as $10000 an- nually for research work done for utili- ties. A plan whereby colleg‘el trustees may be deterred from discharging faculty members without reasons considered justifiable by the teachers organi- zations is sought in the second reso- lution. It authorizes officers of the a: sociation to confer with other organi zations of college teachers in | fort to work out such a plan. CHILD FATALLY BURNED | From Doll She Tried to Warm. DURHAM, N.
