Seven New York City Teachers Refuse To Say Whether They Ever Were In Communist Party NEW YORK (# — Seven New York City public school teachers Tefused yesterday to tell Senate probers whether they ever had been members of the Communist party. .Each of the seven invoked the Fifth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, which protects an in dividual from being forced to testi- fy against himself. Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich), head of a Senate internal security j subcommittee investigationg com- | munism in the nation’s schools, @ said: “On that ground, I will recog- nize your right not to answer that question.” Ferguson recessed the two-day | public hearings here without set- ting a future date, but added: “This does not mean that we have closed this matter. We have received evidence that the board needs. We can recess and allow it to make its investigations.” The seven teachers, of 10 sub- poenaed to appear were: Henry F. Mins Jr., an English instructor at New Utrecht High School, Brooklyn; Leonard Koegel, a substitute teacher residing in Queens; Lou Spindell, health edu- cation instructor at Straubenmul- ler Textile High School, Manhat- tan; Mrs. Mary Gold Daniman, teacher at Public School 107 in the Bronx; and Louis Cohen, English instructor at William Howard Taft High School in the Bronx. The three others, who failed to answer their subpoenas — appar- ently with legitimate excuses — were: Harold Collins, who former- ly taught at Ft. Hamilton High School; Florence Waks of Man- hattan, and Mrs. Helen Mins Rob- bins, English instructor at Morris High School in the Bronx. The three will be subpoenaed for examination when the committee resumes hearings here. Case, one of the teachers to tes- tify, told the committee: “Right now, if you went into the whole school system, you would | find the teachers of New York are scared stiff today, watching this committee, and because of that are afraid to go back and exercise their rights in the typical Ameri- can manner. “Because of inquisitions such as this, the teachers are scared and are not doing their jobs. I would like you to come into our school system and see what’s going on. ‘The kids no longer are encouraged to use their own minds. They keep quiet on subjects such as Korea, the atomic bomb and the Soviet Union.” Case was asked, “In your opinion did the North Koreans attack the South Koreans?” Case replied, ‘‘I wasn’t there.” The witness said a war between Soviet Russia and the U. S. would “mark the end of civilization.” But he said he would defend America if any one attacked it. The city board of education said it will start disciplinary action against the Senate committee’s witnesses and an unspecified num- ber of other teachers. Giant Flag Hopes . . . Ride With Irvin By JACK HAND NEW YORK (#—If the New York Giants pull another “miracle” this fall, a fellow named Monte Irvin will deserve much of the credit. Just as Giant hopes crumpled with Irvin's broken ankle in spring training, so they have risen with his return to regular action. The strong slugger from Orange, N. J., stretched his consecutive game hitting streak to 11 yesterday with a single and triple in the 3-2 win over Pittsburgh in 13 innings. This was a miserable summer for big Monte, sitting home while the Giants fumbled and fumed in their uphill chase of Brooklyn. He was anxious to return to action but he just couldn't afford to take chances until the doctor gave his okay. A little walking exercise In his back yard. Then some batting prac tice. More hitting and light exer eise while he made a Western Gwing with the giants. Then a re @urn to the active list for pinch. hitting duties. Finally he got back in there as Giants were being read out of the ce, some 10% games behind the gers. “Irvin ts the difference,” you hear on all sides in the Giant club house and dugout. “Since he eame back we started to go.” Batting .325 and lashing vicious live drives as the cleanup hitter te is doing his best to lift the s toward another flag. figure I can run about 75 t as good as normal,” he 1 can run straight ahead t but it's tough to stop and t t serve for a bridge 1?

Ramirez said that meas- urements of the skid marks at the scene showed that the driver of the car apparently attempted to stop some fifty feet ahead of the inter- section and that he was 116 feet beyond the point of impact before indicating that the car was travel- ling at high speed. The body of the victim was found lying 70 feet be- yond the point where she was struck. She had been walking in th> street, facing oncoming traf- fic when she was mowed down. There is no sidewalk in that area. Dr. N. P. Mehrer told of how the victim died, probably instantly, of multiple injuries including a frac- tured skull, a broken neck, com- pound fractures of both legs and internal injuries. She was pro- nounced dead upon arrival at the Monroe General Hospital. The victim of the crash, who was employed at the Harris avenue ad- dress, had no knqwn relatives. She was known to be a native of Fort Scott, Kansas but had been living in Miami. The body was sent to Miami for cremation at the request of friends. The death marked the first traf- fie fatality to occur in Key West this year. It was the 11th in Mon- | roe County. MINISTERIAL ASSN. (Continued From Page One) La Concha. Rev.

Our members voted against the dog track some months ago.” Esqinaldo said that at the next regular JayCee meeting he will discuss with members what if any steps they will take to back up their opposition.

STRONG ARM BRAND COFFER Triumph Coffee Mill ALL GROCERS Chick Evans Is Golf Threat At 62 CHICAGO (# — Gracious Chick Evans, a legend of golf at the age of 62, has given the younger set in the Western Amateur tour- nament something to remember. “Never give up, that’s the mot- to,” says Evans. “When I ever get so I can’t qualify for a tour- ney, then maybe I'll quit. But I figure I still have many more years to play.” Evans has won eight Western Amateur crowns, the last in 1923. He also is the only amateur in history to win the Western Open, the National Open, and the West- ern aud National Amateurs. Florid-faced and still with the endearing smile and expression that won him the “boy wonder” tag 40 years ago, Evans proved his tenacity in Wednesday's first round by going 19 holes to finish off Harold Foreman, Chicago, a three-time Illinois state titlist. It probably was Evans’ greatest golfing feat in the last 10 years and spiked all rumors that the “grand old man” was about ready to throw in the towel after suffer- ing blackouts since that fall on his head in England earlier this year. He was there competing in the British Amateur, as usual, when he suffered a bad brain concus- sion. A double round was on tap for today that will trim the field to the quarterfinals. The tournament = with the 36 hole finals Sun- ay. All other favorites advanced, in- cluding defending Champion Frank Stranahan and Harvie Ward, the British Amateur winner.

TUCKMAN SEOUL, Korea ®—The Commu- nists blanketed Capitol Hill with mortar and artillery fire today af- ter failing in a night of bloody grenade and bayonet fighting to capture the Central Front outpost from South Korean troops. The U. S. Eighth Army said Red big = poured EP rounds a min- ute ughout the day at the tough ROK (Republic of Korea) infantry- men who chased screaming Chi- nese troops from Capitol Hill at dawn. Two hundred dead Chinese were counted on the mud-caked slopes after the swirling, night-long battle, the Eighth Army said. Another 300 were estimated killed. This raised Communist casualties in the Capi- tol Hill fighting, which flared Sat- urday, to at least 2,800. The Eighth Army said South Ko- reans on Capitol Hill killed or wounded 12 Chinese of a Red pla- toon which got caught in the open around noon today. U. N. B26s, using radar-aiming techniques, flew through overcast skies to bomb Red Western and Central Front positions. At one point in the fight for Capitol Hill, ROK soldiers leaped from their foxholes and cracked a Red encirclement. Some 2,500 yards to the west, the South Koreans held firmly to positions on the south slope of Fin- ger Ridge, where they withdrew Wednesday night after seizing and briefly holding the crest. The Communists grabbed Capitol Hill late Saturday and held it until late Tuesday, FOR ATHLETE’S FOOT USE A KERATOLYTIC BECAUSE— It SLOUGHS OFF the tainted onter skin to expose buried fungi and kills it on contact, Get this STRONG, keratolytic fungicide, ‘T-4-L, at any drug store.
