Thomas W. Braden, president of the California State Board of Education, dealt with Communism in a humanities series lecture here Wednesday saying that it is "on the wane throughout the world today and that it is not an important power in America. Braden cautioned that there are "some elements in America which furnish a breeding ground for Communism." He included among these elements the tendency of some people to let "political bosses" do their political thinking for them, the irrationality of some who would "hang Chief Justice Earl Warren" and "get rid of the Fifth Amendment," and the "child - like" inclination of some people to label every problem not understood as being "Communistic." Braden, publisher of the Oceanside Blade Tribune, said that the biggest Communist threat to the world was the Communist's propaganda "front." He said the Kremlin claims that: Communists want peace and general disarmament; The West favors armament and tension; West Germany is dominated by Fascists, and ex-

Nazies; Russia will be the leading nation of the future; Communist principles are the most efficient for getting governmental work done; and Communists oppose all labor unions because the unions are "selling-out" the working class to please the "capitalists." Braden also told students that he thought they should be "extremists" about the "fundamentals of our government." He said he favored extremism of that kind. He said that a man is not necessarily to be distrusted simply because he is labeled an extremist. "Find out what he is extreme about," he said.

Committee Recommends End To Publication's Plans The College Publications Committee adopted Wednesday a recommendation to President Dr. John W. Dunn that Tau Eqsilon discontinue plans to publish a magazine this spring. The committee meeting was called at the request of Dr. Dunn after he was notified by Dwight H. Boehm, chairman of the English department, of the Tau Epsilon project. Also adopted was a recommendation by Committee chairman Richard S. Johnson of the journalism and English departments that the Administration consider including the publication in the regular academic program of the future. The recommendations were adopted after the committee interviewed proposed Dimension Magazine staff members Dick Tarquino, Roy Klapp and F'red Groh. The Committee cited numerous reasons for its decision which include the following: (1.) The magazine has no subsidy and so must depend entirely on advertising income in order to finance the $1,142

publication cost. Bad debts, which normally occur in advertising sales, could make the venture end in a financial deficit with no one to take the responsibility. (2.) Magazine staff members stated that legal responsibility would be in the hands of their advisor. As yet, no faculty member has accepted the duty of advisor for the publication. (3.) No advertising has been sold or copy completed. The committee felt that there was not enough time to make preparations for the planned 60 page magazine before the copy deadline of April18. (4.) Dimension Magazine cannot guarantee future publication and so cannot offer advertisers a guarantee of continuity in the publication. (5.) Tau Epsilon's constitution does not make clear any intention on the part of the club to publish a magazine. Making the recommendation to discontinue plans was Dr. John D. Schettler, College business manager and assistant Continued to Page 3
