...paid too much attention then when state legislator James B. Morgan of Birmlugham presented a bill which he had written. It was called Act 888, the Schoolbook Labelling Law. The law was simple enough: It provided that southers and men mentioned in public schoolbooks who were members of communist or communist from groups should be identified and catalogued in the front of each book. Thus no child would be deceived as to the affixations of the person mentioned in the school books...
...history's most thankless tasks: to decide between a demonstrably great and compelling public figure and an impersonal something called the security of the U.S. One of the three, Ward V. Evans, 71, was a professor emeritus of chemistry at Loyola University of Chicago; a second, Thomas Morgan, 66, was a successful retired man of business; the third was a former Secretary of the Army, and a substantial pillar of liberal education in his own right, President Gordon Gray, 45, of the University of North Carolina (see box). Through the eight weeks they read transcripts, studied FBI reports, questioned...
Thomas Alfred Morgan, 66, who agreed with Gray that Oppenheimer is a security risk, is the retired president and board chairman of the Sperry Corp. Like Gray, he grew up in North Carolina, but on a different level.

Ward Evans, 71, who disagreed with Gray and Morgan, and suggested that Oppenheimer's security clearance be restored, is professor emeritus of chemistry at Loyola University of Chicago. A product of a Pennsylvania farm, Evans has found himself in difficult positions all his life (from trapping skunks as a boy to testing explosives as a soldier and a scientist). Recognized as a brilliant teacher and a foremost U.S. expert on explosives, Evans has retired twice, and is still working. In 1946 he retired as head of Northwestern University's chemistry department. Then, in 1947, at his country home...
...Come and see for yourself." That was the gist of an eager invitation sent last month by the Communist government of China to the British Labor Party. The Laborites hemmed and hawed (as well they might, since it was one of their number, Party Secretary Morgan Phillips, who first suggested the idea), but eventually, eight prominent Socialists were elected to make the tour. Leader of the expedition, which will start out in late summer: ex-Prime Minister Clement Attlee...
