Walgreen, drug store magnate, to produce proof of his charges of “Communistic influ- ence” at the University of Chicago, and declined to consider public hear- ings on the accusations until they are substantiated. The head of the Big Ten school | replied to Walgreen's demand for an | open airing of the controversy in this letter: “The University of Chicago for 43 vears has had a clear record of public service and educational leadership. | In view of this record it sces no necessity of holding public hearings when vague and unsupported charges | are made against it. “The university will ignore your criticism until it receives the evidence it has asked for. If you will supply this evidence the Board of Trustees will give careful consideration to it.” Walgreen did not reply immediately, but previously he had declared he would be “pleased to submit proofs” and offered to do so next week. Walgreen's niece, Lucile Norton, whom he withdrew from the univer- sity through fear of *“exposure” to Communism, stepped back into the picture. She said: published.

Representative Martin, Republican, of Massachusetts said a request would be made tomorrow for a mass inter- view with the President and predicted that, if it were granted, some 50 House members would attend. ‘ The textile spokesmen seek repeal of the cotton processing tax and higher tariffs on textiles from Japan. From Japanese spokesmen in Tokio yesterday came word that American commercial interests were blamed for agitation which sought the exclusion of Japanese goods from Latin Amer- jca. This, it was added by the Japa- nese foreign office, might react un- favorably on Amerjcan sales of raw cotton in Japan. Statement Interpreted. New England House members inter- preted the Japanese statement as an attempt to avert attempts on the part of Americans to check the growth of Central America. “I hadn't heard of any American effort to shut Japan out of Latin | America,” said Martin, a member of | the House Foreign Affairs Committee, “but it's a good idea.” Representative Rogers, Republican, | of Massachusetts, another member of bans on promotions as of July 1, but | two important economy provisions will | remain in effect.
