Give Facts, Says Voorhis
The best defense against totalitarian threats is to give the people the real facts and then trust their judgment, Jerry Voorhis, ex-Congressman from California, told a University audience Wednesday.
Mr. Voorish spoke in Frank Strong auditorium on his experiences as a member of the Dies Un-American Activities committee. He served as a Congressman from 1936 to 1946.
"True facts can be given the people by agencies investigating undercover activities," Mr. Voorhis declared, referring to the idea of Congressional investigations. He charged that the danger in such investigations is that they are not limited to the exposing of actual Communists and Fascists.
"Too many accusations are made against people holding unpopular political or economic views," he explained. "People are confused by various accusations unless they are limited.
"It is to the interests of Communists and Fascists to show that democracy cannot solve these problems. It is our job to prove that we can."
"In the end the way for us to counteract undercover activity is to have America stand for the most rapid progress in solving economic and social problems of the people.
At a luncheon given in his honor by the University Co-operative league at the Hearth Mr. Voorhis declared that he believes campus Coops are now the most important Co-operatives.
"We need trained personnel and you are learning by experience at the universities," he said.
"If we are going to have peace we need more people who believe in th ideas of brotherhood and mutual aid," he declared.

Give Her a Book For MOTHERS' DAY
The purpose of the machine is to make every form letter a personally typed one. The stenographer puts the date and head on the letter then addresses the envelope and puts in the enclosures as the autotypist types the letter.
The auto-typist works like the old-fashioned player piano. It uses a perforated paper roll for guidance of the typewriter, and compressed air for power.
James K. Hitt, registrar, said, "We feel that every letter received in our office deserves a personal reply.
