THE KEY WEST CITIZEN niversity Of Suspended By * GAINESVILLE —A University ef Florida professor who refused te tell a congressional committee whether he ever has been a mem- ber of the Communist party has been suspended. 4, Hillis Miller, university presi- dent, announced the suspension a few hours after John H. Reynolds, assistant professor of social sci- @nces, was questioned by the House Unamerican Activities Committee fm Washington Monday. Reynolds, named by three other witnesses as a member of a Red group at Harvard around 1940, pleaded the constitutional guaran- tee against self-incrimination in fefusing to answer certain ques- Miller said in a statement: “I regard Mr. Reynolds’ refusal to answer questions of a duly con- stituted agency of the government asa spi oe, Bh saline 2 Sesponsi to ty, his colleagues, and the public which his university serves.” He added that Reynolds “will have a right to an expeditious hearing before a committee of the faculty on the basis of the findings of which the president will be pleased to make his recommenda- tions to the Board of Control.” Reynolds refused to tell the com- mittee whether he was ever ac- quainted with Norman Divinson and Dr. William T. Martin of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology and Robert G. Davis of Smith College. These professors had testified that they were members of a Red organization at Harvard more than 10 years ago and knew Reynolds as a member of the same organi- Owens, committee investigator, that he denied Communist pai mem in an interview at the University of Florida last month. The interview was held in the . presence of Dean Wiuston W. Little and Prof. William G. Carlton. Rey- nolds was not under oath at the e., Reynolds told the committee he believed its Reds-in-Education probe is “detrimental.” However, replying to a question by Rep. Doyle (D.-Calif.), he said he does not believe a member of the Com- munist party should be allowed to teach in American universities. Quoting from a statement of the Assn. of American Universities, Miller said th: professor “is called upon to answer for his con- victions, it is his duty as a citizen to speak out. It is even more definitely his duty as a professor. Refusal to do so, on whatever legal grounds cannot fail to reflect upon a profession that claims for itself the fullest freedom to speak and the maximum protection of that freedom available in our so- ciety.” Miller said “The legal right of a citizen to refuse to testify under protection of the Fifth Amendment (the right against self-incrimina- fon) is not in dispute in my mind. However, the moral right of Mr, Reynolds to exercise this legal right under the circumstances is pen to serious doubt.” Reynolds was appointed to the Florida staff in 1946 after under- graduate and graduate work at Harvard and teaching at the Uni- versity of New Hampshire, ‘The university president said that before Reynolds was appointed for a second year he was informed by letter: “If your personal belief is such as might lead colleagues and students to think of you as a radical, "ism’ teacher, or other extremist, do not accept, because the offer is made on the opposite assumption.” “Reynolds agreed to this without qualification,” Miller said.

Hiller |Today’s Action In Tallahassee TALLAHASSEE (#—The admin- istration bill to spend 1% million dollars a year to fight mosquitoes in Florida got a favorable report today from the House Committee on Public Health, It still must get approval of the Appropriations Committee. It would appropriate 1% million ' a year to match county funds for fighting mosquitoes and other such arthropods as dog flies and sand flies. The counties would be re- quired to put up 25 cents of every dollar in the program. There also would be a’ $250,000 annual appropriation for insect control research ‘by the State Board of Health. The Public Health Committee‘re- jected a bill which would locate the proposed new South Florida mental hospital in Okeechobee County in favor of a rival version which would put the institution near the center of population of Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. TALLAHASSEE (#—An attempt to put Sunshine Park horse race track, near Tampa, in the same tax paying bracket as the big Miami area tracks met opposition in the House today when a meas- ure to accomplish it was sent to two committees. & Sunshine, smallest of the state’s four horse race tracks, pays a flat fee of $4,000 a.day as long as its parimutuel handle is under $175,000 daily. Other tfacks pay an eight per cent tax. Rep. Williams, Seminole, offered a bill to eliminate the exemption. rty| Rep. Johnson, Hillsborough, was successful in a motion to send the measure to Public Amusements Committee as well as to Finance and Taxation. He said Williams’ measure would “put Sunshine out of business.”” TALLAHASSEE @—A bill to give Florida A. and M. College university status ¢leared the Legis- lature today with unanimous House Passage and was sent to Gov. Mc- Carty, who asked for its passage. It changes. the rame of the in- stitution to Wlibrida A, and M. University. It will make all three of Florida’s state-supported insti- tutions of higher learning universi- ties. Supporters of the bill to make the Negro college a university say it earned the rank two years ago when it got professional colleges of law, pharmacy, mechanical en- gineering and social work. © TALLAHASSEE #—A bill which would require an anti-Communist oath of anyone who wanted to be registered as a barber in Florida was introduced in the House today by Rep. Bedenbaugh, Columbia County. He is a barber. TALLAHASSEE \—The House today broadened the powers of the Ayres Investiga' Committee and gave it authority to operate be- tween session: Rep. Ayres, Marion County, chairman of the committee to in- vestigate reports of irregularities in state building jobs, told the House matters other than those involving construction “have been to the attention of the commitee.” Ayres didn’t say what the re- ports are but declared they are “serious enough and well docu- mented enough that we believe it is in the public interest that these matters be investigated.” The bill to allow the committee to operate between sessions passed 71, with only Rep. Stewart, Hen- County, opposed. A House-approved bill, supported by Ayres and Speaker Farris Bry- ant, to give such interim commit- tees power to subpoena witnesses Ricou, who notified marine bi-. drew opposition in the Senate Mon- logists and the Coast Guard, said} there was a similar occurrence in the ai bout 15 years: ago. day from their Marion County col- CPO EDDIE HALPIN gets his face scarred for his role as “Long Arm,” a tough Conch spongeman.

It was the third straight advance the market has been able to ne- gotiate since the 1953 low was! touched last Thursday. Gains today amounted to a point at the most with minus signs small and mostly scattered. Steels and motors were steady. The railroads were mixed on the upside as were the chemicals. The utilities had a iower tinge along with air lines and building mater- ials. Higher stocks included Goodyear, United Aircraft, Scuthern Califor- nia ‘Edison, Kennecott Copper, Eastman Kodak, Southern Railway and Texas Co. Lower were Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Zenith Radio, Consolidated Edison, Dow Chemicai, Chesapeake and Ohio, and United Air Lines.

BLAKESLEE ~ AP Science Reporter NEW ORLEANS ® — Human brains are being wired inside to produce tiny shocks to banish terrible pain or to treat mental illness., Two to eight electric wires are planted as deep as three inches inside the brain. Any pair of wires can be hooked to a machine to carry a slight electric current through chosen parts of the brain. The currents seem to dynamite hormones into action. The wires have brought one bed- ridden woman ireedom from the incessant pain of hopeless cancer, Dr, Robert G. Heath, professor of | psychiatry and aevrosurgery at Tulane University Medical School, said today. She has not needed morphine for six weeks, is up and about, eager to see a movie. Thirty mental patients have had the brain wiring in the last three years, but Dr. Heath declined to discuss those results now. He described this significant new attack upon pain to science writers ending a tour sponsored by the American Cancer Society. He stressed that the work is still very ‘| preliminary. The tiny currents apparently pro- foundly affect the chemistry of the human body, presumably affecting body glands and hormones. The wires are implanted through two little holes made in the front, top part of the skull. A fluoroscope machine guides the surgeon in putting each wire at selected spots. The brain end of each wire has a tiny bulb or electrode. The outside ends of the wires are soldered to sockets, which are incorporated into a big head band- age. There is uo discomfort; the wires can be withdrawn anytime later. Any pair of wires can be used. either to record brain waves elec- trically, or to send the currents ly-, Dodge, Studebaker, Willy‘s, Etc. 12 MONTHS .. $ 8.95 exch. 18 MONTHS ... 11.95 exch, 3 YEARS .. 17.85 exch.

Dr. Heah showed a dramatic movie of pain relief won by the woman whose cancer had spread through her pelvis, Shots of mor- Phine brought relief for only two hours. But as soon as the current—two milliamperes or two 1,000ths of an ampere—was turned on, her pain was gone. She said she felt good enough to go to work. When the current was increased to four milliamperes, she felt dizzy. At slightly higher current, her blood pressure rose. The treatments kill her pain for a week or 10 days, then she has another electric stimulation. She | aji has gained six pounds, eats well, now needs only aspirin occasion- ally to relieve sciatic pain. The current is passed through her hypothalamus, a region of the brain which, by some evidence, may be the real master gland area of the body. The treatments bring noticeable chemical changes, Dr. Heath saidy The number of different kinds of white blood ceils changes, and there is an increase in certain hormone products in the body. The hormonal changes are similar to @ large dose of: ACTH, the hor- mone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. Exactly what happens is not yet clear, he said.
