New Group Organizes To Curb 'Liberalism' In Pasadena Teaching

A new ultra-conservative committee formed to stop the efforts of radical groups to "foist a foreign concept into the school system," appeared this week to be further complicating the much-publicized Pasadena. California progressive education dispute.

The controversy, which ha touched issues ranging from a "satisfactory-unsatisfactory" grading system to the use of sex education films, started in November, 1951, when Dr. Willard Goslin was removed from the superintendency of schools because of his progressive views. This week, Dr. Stuart McComb was named as his successor as a compromise between radical and conservative groups in the city.

The new committee "Voters Recall Committee" has been formed to petition for the removal an economics professor at the California institute of Technology and the wife of the dean of the University of Southern California's School of Religion. The two are the only board members whose terms run past June when the conservative clement hopes to elect a completely new board.
