Mrs. Roosevelt Ticks Them Off

EDUCATION

Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt last week finally came right out and told youthful U.S. radicals that they could go too far--in fact, that some of them had. To a Manhattan conference of the U.S. Student Assembly (one of the few remaining signs of an intercollegiate youth movement--most youth is now organized in U.S. uniforms), the First Lady declared:

"There has been a custom of using people to carry out the aims of the young Communist groups who did not honestly declare themselves as belonging to Communist groups, and that we cannot tolerate in a democracy. You can work with anyone who has the courage to stand up and say what he believes,'but you can never work with anyone who says one thing and does another, or who stays silent and does not state his objectives."

Outtalked by Mrs. Roosevelt, 18 pro-Communist delegates walked out of the conference. They returned to vote for an amendment granting membership to Communists and Fascists, were outvoted by the student majority. A lone delegate opposed closer cooperation among U.S., British, Soviet trade unions, found no seconder.
