Mather, Sullivan, Landis, Washburn Appear in Papers

Harvard news during the Christmas recess was headed by the long awaited report by Dean James Landis of the Law School on the Bridges case on the San Francisco Waterfront.

After re-reading the testimony of the hearing held last September to determine whether Bridges should be deported as a Communist, Dean Landis reported last week to the Department of Labor that he did not think Bridges was a Communist.

Mickey "the Dude" Sullivan, flery crusader against the Kremlin, hit the headlines all over the country when he had a resolution passed by the Cambridge City Council which would prohibit the presence of any book within Cambridge which had the words "Lenin or Leningrad" in it.

On December 28 at a meeting of the Sigma Xi, honorary scientific society, in Columbus, Ohio, Kirtley Mather, professor of Geology, advanced the theory that science could cure war because "much of the physical basis of international jealously" is eliminated by substitutes made by scientists.

Bradford Washburn '33, director of the New England Museum of Natural History and instructor at the Geographical Institute, was awarded the Franklin L. Burr prize of $1,000 for his aerial photography in Alaska.
