Adverse Publicity
Alleged as Result
of Legion’s Charges
Bank Scored For Showing
Check To Legion
Committee
Alleging that the false charges
of radicalism directed against him
subjected him to detrimental pub-licity,
Dr. Ellis Freeman, professor
of psychology, filed suit for
$lOO,OOO last Thursday against
Colonel Henry J. Stites, Chairman
of the American Legion investiga-tion
committee, the Citizens
Union National Bank, Edmund T.
Meriwether, vice-president of the
bank, Louis A. Duane, chief clerk
of the bank, and Harry V. Davis.
Freeman claims the bank offiic-ials
permitted and assisted in mak-ing
photostatic copies of a $172.41
check that he received as inter-est
on Russion bonds. This
was used as a basis for statements
that he was in the pay of the
Third Internationale to spread
Soviet propaganda on the campus
of the University of Louisville.
Colonel Stites, as chairman of
the American Legion committee
which assumed the right to in-vestigate
the Louisville schools for
“radicalism,” said, “The Legion
or any other group of citizens has
a right to investigate activities of
L. I. D. LEADER
BELIEVES NEW
PARTY NEEDED
Reaction In U. S. Growing,
Says Hamilton
“Youth who desire economic se-curity,
who desire peace, must
come to realize that these things
will not be achieved in the politi-cal
arena through the medium of
either of the two old parties. The
only hope for the solution of our
economic dilemma today is in the
formation of a Farmer-Labor
party energetically supported by
liberal thinking and progressive
students,” stated Albert Hamilton
at a special meeting of the Inter-national
Relations Club held Oc-tober
31 in the Women’s Building.
Hamilton is a direct descendant
of Alexander Hamilton. He is
the national chairman of the Stu-dent
L. I. D., chairman of the so-cial
action committee of the
National Council of Methodist
Youth, and student secretary of
the Young Peoples’ Socialist
League.
Commenting on the possibility
of America’s keeping out of a
European war, Hamilton stated,
“We must continue to realize the

“HUMAN ADVENTURE” DUE TOMORROW
Scenes from “The Human Adventure”
RISE OF MAN DEPICTED
IN BREASTED PICTURE
Dramatic narration of the rise
of man form savagery to civiliza-tion
will be unrolled on celluloid
tomorrow’ afternoon at the Mem-orial
Auditorium when the Uni-versity
of Louisville sponsors the
talking picture “The Human Ad-venture,”
produced under the
scientific supervision of Dr. James
H. Breasted, famous a cheologist
and historian, and Director of the
Oriental Institute, University of
Chicago, the largest archeological
organization in the world.
“The Human- Adventure,” re-quiring
more than three years to
complete, grows out of the re-searches
and explorations of the
where civilization first arose—
Oriental Institute in the lands
Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Anatolia,
Persia, and Iraq—and whither the
Institute has dispatched altogether
some fourteen expeditions. Special
planes were chartered and pro-fessional
cameramen were hired to
photograph the lost chapters of
the human adventure in the story
which is perfectly intelligible to
the lay public as well as students
of history.
Students of the University of
Louisville will be admitted to the
Auditorium at the special rate of
Regional Chemists'
Meet Held Successful
The Mid-west Regional meeting
of the American Chemical So-ciety,
which closed last week was
attended by some 230 members
from the middle west. The meet-ing
would possibly have been one
of the largest, had it not conflicted
with a similar meeting in Toledo,
Ohio. President R. A. Kent ini-tiated
the sessions with a most in-teresting
welcoming address, and
the program was acclaimed by the
writers as better than that of the
national meeting recently held in
San Francisco.
Ninety-two were presented, in
addition to five principal talks.
The convention closed on Friday
night with a complementary en-tertainment
on the roof garden of
the Brown Hotel. The programme
was under the directorship of Pro-fessor
F. M. Shipman of the
Chemical Engineering Department
of Speed School.

Football Team All
We Need, Says Terry
BY PRENTISS M. TERRY
(Editor’s note: This statement
by Mr. Terry, who is treasurer of
the University of Louisville, was
solicited Monday by the Cardinal
in order to gain a personal opinion
of a member of the Administration
on the athletic situation as set
forth in last week’s issue of the
Cardinal.)
May I commend the members of
the football squad for their con-tinued
fighting spirit and all other
undergraduates for the splendid
enthusiasm they are showing in
University activities. I am de-lighted
particularly With their in-terest
in athletics, which are es-sential
to any well rounded Uni-versity
program including inter-collegiate
as well as intra-mural
contests.

LEAD PROTESTS
AGAINST CINEMA
Movie Seen As Threat To
Free Speech
Attempting to organize a wide-spread
local protest against “Red
Salute,” a motion picture starting
at the Brown Theatre tomorrow
as distorting the liberal student
movement and “therefore threat-ening
free speech,” students at the
University of Louisville, Tuesday
had enlisted the support of several
prominent individuals in Louis-ville.
The cinema, which is charged
with painting liberal students as
paid propagandists, has been op-posed
by student organization ail
over the country as a menace to
academic freedom, and has been
criticized unfavorably by several
reputable publications.
The local post of the American
Legion is planning to support the
film with a parade of its drum and
bugle corps, according to Vic
Sicilia, publicity manager of the
Brown Theatre. Mr. Sicilia said
that he has agreed to run a trealer
following each showing of “Red
Salute,’ in response to a request
by students of the University,
pointing out that the film does not
