es; though not to convict, the Com-
- mitteé has succeeded in perpetuat-
ing the atmosphere of the “witch-
hunt” and creating a “community
of fear.”
Public Pressures
Illustrating the unfair tactics
employed by the Committee in its
examinations throughout the coun-
_ try, Mr. Walters cited imstances of
subpoenas being delivered to teach-
ers in classrooms and lists of the
accused being released to newspa-
pers for publication before hear-
ings were even begun, In~ such
cases, he said, public pressure
built up against innocent individ-
uals can be tremendous,
Although the National Student
Association, which he was repre-
senting, has passed a resolution fa-
voring reform of the controversial | .
committee, Mr. Waters ~ himself
sees such reform as unfeasible and
is personally in favor of abolition.
The fact that it is individual mem-
bers of the Committee who are
evil, rather than the Committee
itself, is, he says, no coincidence;
the committee attracts a certain
type of Congressman, and so even
with new membership it could not
change appreciably in nature.
“A Bastion to Democracy”
Although many Congressmen per-
sonally oppose the Committee, its
abolition is not immediately fore-
seeable. Groups like the American
Legion and Daughters of the
American Revolution, who consid-
er the Committee a bastion of
Democrocy, hold too many votes
for any Congressman to risk alien-
ating them. Liberal organizations,
like N. S. A. and the American
Civil Liberties Union, are there-
fore launching campaigns of “ed-
ucation”, to encourage opponents
of the HUA to write their con-
gressmen letting them know of
support for abolition of the com-
mittee. Representative James
Roosevelt is going to spearhead
the attack on it by asking for a
cut in its current appropriation.
Such a cut would considerably cur-
tail its power, and Walters strong-
ly advises that Congressmen be
made aware of public feeling
against the HUAC, so that they
fee] they can safely support this
move to ‘weaken it.

molecule will absorb light which
is vibrating at idential frequencies
he determined the structure, first
of the chloro-substituted dimers,
then of the original dimer postu-
lated previously. Plotting the fre-
quency of light against the per-
cent absorbed.by each dimer, he
found that all had similar absorp-
tion peaks; therefore, that the
proper structure of the original
was indeed the dimer.
Then Mr. Mallory proved the ex-
ustence of the. sturcture he had
postulated. The chloro-substitut-
ed dimers are dissolved in a high-
boiling-point solvent, and ‘then
heated until the equilibrium reac-
tion produces the momomers,
When the solvent has evaported
and the residual solid is examined,
t is found to contain one-half dim-
er and one-half of the other.
What the observed, Mr. Mallory
decided, was that one monomer
converted to the other by passing
through an intermediate which had
to have the double ring dioxide
structure he postulated. Thus, he
proved the existence of the diox-
ide compound he had suggested.

Poetry Reading
Continued from Page 1, Col. 2
Born in’ Urugiiay on January 16,
1884 he always retained a sort of
double nationality. He often treat-
ed the subject of Europe and Am-
erica.
His happy childhood, however,
hid an ill body. His concern with
the physical body and heart is
translated into his poetry by a
fear that everything may break
when touched. This feeling leads
him to avoid any extremes. He is,
for example, neither really a pes-
simist.nor really an optimist,
M. Maurin closed the reading
with a few remarks about M. Char-
pier who will be visiting lecturer
in French next semester, M. Char-
pier is a young French poet. His
early work is clearly marked by
the influence of St. John Perse
who recently won the Nobel Prize
for literature. M. Maurin also
read. from some of M. Chanpier’s
poems,

most im conflict. For instance,
Pascal is not in our geneology but
had a very great influence on Vol-
taire and Diderot.
The influence of religion, was
both external and internal. Vol-
taire’s “Poeme sur le Disastre de
Lisbonne” is profoundly concerned
with religion. Diderot was inter-
ested in reasonableness in the mor-
al conduct of life. Even the de-
nouncements of Catholicism in the
works of the Enlightenment were
sometimes only a rejection of the
Chureh in favor of inner religios-
ity.
One must, therefore, always keep
in mind the fact that the Enlight-
enment cannot be divorced: from re-
ligion even though it is basically
a period stressing reason, the ra-
tional, and rationalism,
