NEA REPORTS World Meetings Participating in Town meetings held in 13 world capitals, the Na-tional Education Association helped freedom's bell to ring 'round the world. Representing the one million teachers and 30 million children and youth now participating in American education, Willard E. Givens, execu-tive secretary of the NEA, was a member of the Town Meeting cf the Air's World Seminar. London, Paris, Berliri, Vienna, Rome, Ankara, Tel Aviv, Cairo, Karachi, New Delhi, Manila, Tokyo, and Washington were visited by the Town Meeting staff and a party of 28 representatives of national organizations in the field of labor, management, agriculture, culture, and women's activities � organiza-tions with a combined membership of over 30 million. Leaders Discuss Global Problems In each world capital regular Town Meetings were held with two Americans and two leaders in each country entering in discussions on timely subnects. Members of the World Seminar met daily with their opposite num-bers in each country to hold the off-the-record discussions on world problems and other topics of signi-ficance. ""Correwondents who came to press conferences,"" reported Dr. Givens, ' ""were fascinated with the comradeship of members of cur group who represented various phases of American life. The peo-ple were impressed with the mu-tual respect and equality between our men and women leaders and between our white and Negro members."" Dr. Givens feels that a major area of misunderstanding lies in the meaning and scope of Presid-ent Truman's program, especially Point Four. ""In the Near East and Far East,"" he said, ""most people thought of it as a sort of Marshall Plan. Their main concern is for the capital. Few seem to sense the need for more efficient government, better tax systems and improved credit facilities. People in unde-veloped countries gerrrally think in terms of geting power machines, heavy machine tools and tractors, with little appreciation of what must be alone educationally to make efficient use of these things."" ""Winterset"" To Be Staged By Glen Players Dec. 8,9,10 by Jim Walters Stark reality comes to the STC stage with the Glen Players production of Winterest. This drama was first pro-duced in 1935 wheo it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award.

Films For Students New opportunities for STC stud-ents are available with the library's acquisition of three film strip view-ers and reels of film strips.

Sacco and Vanzetti were known to be anarchists and com-munists and many people believed they were electrocuted unjustly as a result of prejudice. This prejudice was a result of the ""Red Scare"" which followed the First World War. The fact that this country LS again in the throes of a ""Red Scare"" makes this story and play signi-ficant. Judge Thayer, who passed the death sentence, was openly accused of being prejudiced and had made several remarks publicly that may have been construed to indicate the accusation as being true. Even after the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, which took place on August 23, 1927 following a bitter eight year defense and marked by public demonstrations by certain sympathizers, the case was not forgotten.
