University of California Has Lost 110 Scholars in Oath Controversy

The University of California has lost at least 110 professors as a result of its loyalty oath controversy, California's faculty committee on academic freedom reported yesterday. Of the 110, five are now teaching here.

Howard Mumford Jones, professor of English, Carl J. Friedrich, professor of Government, Merle Fainsod, professor of Government, and Arthur A. Maass, assistant professor of Government, all refused offers to lecture at California in protest against the Board of Regents' action. They turned down summer teaching posts.

Harold Winkler '36, former associate professor at California, is now a visiting lecturer in Government here. He was one of the 26 California professors ejected, for refusing to sign a non-Communist statement prescribed by the Board of Regents.

Reached for comment last night, Winkler said that the list of 110 professors cited by the committee does not include nearly a hundred teaching fellows, instructors, and lecturers below the level of a professor who were "lost in the shuffle."
