Dr. Terris Moore
Explains Local
College Program
Juneau was named by Dr. Terris
Moore among three other Alaska
cities which have shown interest
in the University of Alaska's plan
to establish community colleges in
various areas of the Territory.
Dr Moore, young, active president
of the university, came to Juneau
and other parts of southeast Alaska
to outline the branch two-yegr col
lege plan to interested communi
ties. He said he had not yet been
able to meet fully with the Juneau
school board, but indicated that
individual members had shown in
terest.
He has offered the plan to Ket
chikan, Anchorage and Palmer in
addition to Juneau. He expressed
his belief that the initial start in
the program would logically bi'
made in one or more of these four
cities.
“The Board of Regents recognized
the need of offering higher educa
tion in the Territory, and voted to
set aside $30,000 to be used in ini
tiating a community college plan
with cooperating school boards,”
Dr. Moore said.
The plan would offer junior col
lege level courses leading to a cer
tificate, or classes could be attend- j
ed at night by adults not wanting i
college credit. The community col
leges would be set up in high i
schools of the Territory, offering
two years work beyond high school
level, but using the same form
of organization and education r-rac
ticc-' in use by the schools.
Or. Moore said that vocational j
courses could be stressed varying |
with the needs of the community.
He gave as examples, forestry, fish
eries studies and marine naviga
tion for southeast Alaska and pos- |
sibly political science and govern- 1
mer.t courses for Juneau; agricul- j
ture studies would be logical at j
Palmer, he pointed out; and busi
ness education would be popular at
Anchorage,
Dr. Moore said that in certain
cases, prospective students in the
community colleges who had not
had the opportunity to finish high
school would be accepted for en
rollment. He pointed out that the
•'junior colleges” would be as im
portant for giving opportunity to
working adults as they would be
for allowing high school students,
unable to leave home to go to col
lege, to further their education.
He emphasized he was not od a
“selling tour” but merely offering
the plan to communities which
show interest. He said the interest
shown in Ketchikan was high, but
could not say when one of the
community coleges would begin. He
said there was a possibility that
one could be started by the fall
of 1952, but perhaps not until 1953.

Fails fo Show
For Hearing
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 — KiW —
diaries Oliphant, after demanding
an immediate public hearing by
House tax investigators, failed to
appepr today at a committee ses
sion called to hear him. He sent
word he wished to delay his ap
pearance "several days."
Oliphant, 42, resigned two days
ago as a chief legal officer of the
Internal Revenue. He said then he
felt unable to endure any longer
the “vilification” to which he had
been subject at tarings by a
House Ways and Means subcom
mittee.
Oliphant blasted particularly at
the “scurrilous charges" linking
his name to an alleged “clique” of
Washington officials which a
witness had sworn he was told
was on the looker for “soft
touches.”
The story came fr jn Abraham .
Teitelbaum, Chicago attorney, whO|
said two men tried to shake him j
down for $500,000 on the represen
tation that they would save him
from “tax troubles” through their
connection with the alleged “clique."
He named the two men as Frank
Nathan. Pittsburgh promoter and j
Man-About-Washington, and Bert
K. Naster, Hollywood, Fla., business
Teilelbaum’s story was followed I
quickly by angry denials from |
officials. Nathan took the com- I
mittee’s witness chair and swore, !
under oath, that it was a “dirty
lie.”
Attorney-General McGrath yes
terday ordered that the whole mat
ter be placed before a federal grand
jury.
Only last night, Oliphant "de
manded” the right to reply from
the committee’s witness chair to |
the bringing of his name into the:
hearings.
CHARGE IS MADE
I WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 — Ufl — |
I An attorney in the Bureau of Inter
' for Bermuda en route to MacDill
j Charles Oliphant, since resigned as
I chief counsel of the bureau, showed
an “unusual” interest in a tax fraud
case involving Abraham Teitel
baum.
Richard C. Schwartz, assistant
chief of the penal division in the
chief counsel’s office, also said that
less than a’ month ago he received
a memorandum from Raymond
Spence, of the special tax fraud of
fice, which stated:
“Mr. Teitelbaum’s former attor
ney (is) rumoring around Chicago
that this case was going to be fixed
in Washington."
Schwartz identified the attorney
as “Gene Bernstein."
Schwartz testified before a House
Ways and Means subcommittee.
Joseph J. O’Connell, Jr., Oli
phant’s lawyer, told reporters that
Oliphant needed time to “work up
the material to set the record
straight."
In other developments:
1. Attorney General McGrath an
nounced he has instructed the FBI
’o try to locate Henry W. Grune
wald, a Washington investigator
i who is wanted by the King com
: mittee as a witness,
j 2. Broken into the open was a
sharp row within the committee
over the handling of the testimony
from Teitelbaum.

—UPI—Police Commissioner B. Hebo
of the town of Esmjerg decreed to

The reason, said Commissioner

their crimes and he’s not going to
have any of that in Esbjerg.
He called attention to a law
wheih makes any person appearing
publicly ir disguise liable to ar
rest.
