Should Forbid Browder At Yale, Legion States

Does Not Deserve Eli's "Courtesy and Protection"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Earl Browder was the center of a heated controversy at Yale University yesterday as New Haven legionnaires moved to force President Charles A. Seymour to cancel the permit for the Communist leader's speech in a University building tomorrow.

Post 47 of the American Legion, in a resolution addressed to President Seymour, said that since Browser "been exposed through the Dies Committee as a man definitely linked with Stalin and Russian ideology," he should not be given "the courtesy and protection" of Yale until he has been exonerated of the charges.

Other retrain organizations held meetings yesterday to protect the University's permission for Browser's speech, which will be given before the Yale Peace Council tomorrow evening.
