Chris Not First So Scholars Claim

NEW YORK—(UPD)—Millions of Americans celebrated Columbus Day today against a background of controversy provoked by publication of a map alleging Norwegian Leif Ericson reached America first.
The Ericson-Columbus academic feud boiled up anew this week when Yale University unveiled a map-dated 1440-challenging Columbus' place in history.
Italian-American societies, scholars and politicians, also disturbed by Yale's timing in displaying the old chart, rallied to Columbus' defense while parades throughout the nation, including one with 100,000 participants on New York's Fifth Avenue, stepped off in his honor.
YALE SCHOLARS said the vellum chart, which went on display today in New Haven, Conn., was drawn in Basel, Switzerland, about 430 years after the Viking Leif Ericson was said to have sailed to North America and 52 years before Columbus set sail in search of a new route to India.
Writing on the map says Ericson and a companion, Bjarn,
sailed to Vieland, which the Yale scholars and British museum experts believe to be the coast of Canada.
Victor Arriago, a Chicago lawyer and program chairman of Chicago's Columbus Day parade, called the Yale maps "a Communist plot. You can almost see the Russian influence in the title."
AN ASSISTANT to Fortune Pope, the editor of II Progresso and grand marshal of New York's Columbus Day parade, said more calmly, "After all, if the scholars at Yale say it's so . . ."
At the same say, a spokesman for the Italian Mission to the United Nations said, "It's an old story."

Beauty, Beast Love Story Blazes for Classic Films
"Beauty and the Beast," a 1946 French-produced film, marks the third attraction of the SUA Fall Classical Film Series appearing at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Dyche Auditorium.
The film is a fantasy based on the tale by Madame Leprince de Beaumont. In the story, a household servant is delivered into the hands of a monster who falls in love with her and is eventually revealed as a handsome prince.
STARRING IN THE 90-minute, black and white production is Jean Marais, Josette Day, Marcel Andre, Mila Parely, and Nane Germon.
Credits include Emile Darbon, director of production; Jean Cocteau, director, story, and dialogue; and Georges Auric, music.
THE DIALOGUE IS in French with English titles.
Madison, N.J., school and codirector of the Free University of New York, declared his support for the Viet Cong "if the U.S. continues its current policy in Viet Nam." He made his statement at the all-night Teach-in on Civil Liberties and Academic Freedom held at Rutgers University Sept. 29.
MELLON ALSO agreed with a stand taken last Spring by Rutgers Professor Eugene Genovese, who came under attack in the state legislature of New Jersey for supporting the Viet Cong at a teach-in on Viet Nam. The Rutgers administration refused to fire Genovese.
Admission is 60 cents.
The Rutgers teach-in was called by the Committee for Free Speech, organized last summer after the Genovese controversy. Although it was billed as a program for academic freedom, many speakers used the opportunity to attack U.S. policy in Viet Nam.
Great Bend junior and student body vice-president, and Mike McNally, Bartlesville, Okla., junior and ASC chairman, explained the legislative, executive and judicial branches of campus government.
