ion. . . ”
. Oratory rofjg,ip a high pitch as
members suspended all rules neces-
sary to consider the move.
Rep. Douglas Bergman of Dallas
said that "whether *we have the
power or not (to authorize tho
purge) members cf this house
should rise up in righteous indig-
nation and express publicity its
disavowal (of communism)."
A change suggested by Rep. Les-
lie King of Vernon to set up a com-
mittee. composed of seveiy members
of each house, to see that terms
of the resolution are carried out
was voted down by a 96-10 vote.
The resolution condemned a re-
cent appearance of a self-avowed
communist party member before a
house committee.
The move stemmed from appear-
ance before ;:ie state affairs com-
mittee of Wrendell Addington, Uni-
versity of Texas student and State
Yputh Director of the Communist
party cf Texas. Addington testified
in connection with a bill by Rep.

‘‘The State of Texas at this time
is spending millions of dollars to-
ward the. education of the youth of

and universities."
“Any action and or belief that
might cause doubt as to the loyalty
to our state and nation, cf any in-
dividual enrolled or teaching In our
various educational institutions in
Texas, should be determined by the.
officials of said institutions,” Han-
na’s resolution said.
Hanna said that “there are a lot
