Three were described as Professors from the New York City area and the other as from Wash- ‘ariier, Jenner had called Sen. Taft of Ohio, the Senate Republican leader, “rather naive” for remarks made in a speech in Chicago on Saturday. “The record of this committee, when we complete our hearings, will be a complete answer to any- thing of that kind,” Jenner said of Taft's speech. Taft had said congresfional in- vestigators: have the right to ex- pose Communist teachers. But Taft, who is a member of the corporation of Yale University, also’ said, “I would not favor fir- ing anyone for being a Communist unless I was certain that he was communism and having some effect on the development of the thought of the students.” Jenner's statement today said his subcommittee has “‘overwhelm- ing evidence... . that there is a small but dangerous group of teachers in our public schools and colleges . . . This network is operated from Moscow through the Soviet disciplinary organs in this “The first line of defense against this conspiracy,” Jenner contin- ued, “lies in our private schools and colleges and in the local gov-i today said guards ernment officials responsible for | tax-supported institutions.” But he said they are struggling against “a’ world-wide conspira- torial organization” and cannot meet the threat alone. The func- tion of Congress, he said, is to help them by dealing with “the national and international aspects of this conspiracy,” ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, February 24, 1953 Key West Navy Man Returns From Far East Cruise After eleven months in the Far East, John Teel, Jr., seaman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Teel, Sr., of 1711 Von Phister St., Key West, arrived in San Diego Feb. 17 aboard the Amphibious Force flagship USS Mount Mc- Kinley, The cruise, which began last March, included several opera- tions and numerous hear exer- + Among these were Opera- tion Coralhead, held near Buck- ner Bay, Okinawa, and the famous “mock invasion” of North Korea.
