INDIANAPOLIS, IND, <WN? —' Organized .American ecienci through tho American'Associai(aii| for tho Advancement of Science,' declared open warfare on all foes of intellectual freedom and human libctry with the adoption of a- re¬ solution at its annual meeting de¬ nouncing all curbs on scholars, teachers and profcssion'nt men in various parta of tho world. The declaration, which is alao regarded aa a protest against tho persecu¬ tion of Jewish scholars abroad and tho institution of ghetto benches in Poland, reads as follows:
"The American Association for thc Advancement of Science feels grave concern over persistent nnd threatening inroads upon intellec¬ tual freedom which have intellectual frecdm ot which havo been made in recent times in many parts of the world. Our exisyng liberties have been won through ages of struggle and at enormous cost. If these arc lost or seriously impaired there can be no hopo of continued progress in science, or justlco in govemment, or interna¬ tional or domestic peace or even of lasting material well-being. We regard the suppression of indepen¬ dent thought and of its free ci- prcsaion'as a major crime agatast civilization itself. Yet oppression o£ thia sort has been inflicted upon invcatigatora, scholars, teachera and profeasionai men in many Ways, whether by govemment ac¬ tion, administrative coercion or ex¬ tra-legal violence. We feel it our duty to denounce all such actions aa intolerable forms of tyranny. Thoro can be no compromise on this issue, for oven the commonwealth of learning cannot endure 'half slave and half free.' By our life and training as scientists and by our heritage as Americans wc must stand for freedom."

BUCHAREST (WNS)—Whilo Roumaniiin .Tewry continued lo loolc to King C.irol to prevent the carrying out of tho announced an¬ ti-Jewiah program of Premier Oc¬ tavian-Goga and hia anti-Semitic cniiinct, thouaands of Jewa in the villages prepared for n mass exo¬ dus in conformity with a new de¬ crco forbidding Jews to live in any village. This was the most sori- ou'i of the firat anti-.Tewisli mea- iiurea proclaimed by the Gogn gov¬ ernment, Others forbid .Tews to engage in tiie liquor trade, bar thom from working on any news¬ paper except those owned by Jews, and exclude them from all part in tho management of theatrra and moving picture liousco. Tho gov¬ emment alao took steps against .Tewish physicians and engineers by ordering those who studied abroad and practiced their profes¬ sions in Roumania sinco 1919 to appear beforo special commissions which will revise the professional rolla. It is expected that large numbers of Jewish lawyers and engineers will bo ousted from their profession.
Other more rigorous measures, akin to those adopted in Germany, are to he announced later in con¬ formity with Premier Goga'a radio address to the nation.    Ho pro¬ claimed his determination to "ex¬ pel! all the Jewish elements which entered this country illegally ofter the War" and announced that he had "ordered examinations into tho citizenahip of Jewa who invaded our country illegally by the tens of thousands nfter tho War and who since havo exploited our coun¬ try.   They will be expelled.   I will install a commissioner to supervise immigrants who v»U also supcr- viao thoso industrial firms with foreign capital, Tivhich .have oiJEploit- cd'oup country.    Those v/ho are not in sympathy will havo no place in the destiny of thc Roumanian nation.  Those minorities which ac¬ cept the conception of the atate will he ablo to live here in peace and happiness."
The Goga government is alao re¬ ported to bo preparing to divide tho Jews into three categories: 1— war veterans and their children who will be regarded as "worthy Roumanian citizena" and not mo¬ lested; 2—Jews who for "good rea¬ sons did not participate in the World War and who will be judged individually on their post-wac re¬

Jewish merchants are not placing orders and cancelling thoae already made. Liquidation of Jewish en¬ terprises is proceeding rapidly. - Jewish leaders in Bucharest aro seeking to allay the |ianic in Jew¬ ish circlea, emphaaizing that mat¬ ters could be much worse had the moro violently anti-Scmitic Iron Guard been entrusted with thc for¬ mation of a government. The Jews > also were heartened by the -cnblo pent from Geneva by former For¬ eign Minister Nicholas Titulescu offering his aid in fighting Rou¬ manian Fascism to Dr. JuUus Manln, leader of the National Fea¬ sant Party. The surreptitious de¬ parture from the country of Mmc. Magda Lupescu, Jcvrish-born paramour of King Carql, nnd the amiouncement by tho Iron Guard that it would' not contest the' next elections also helped allay some of the fear of the Jewish popula¬ tion. Even the govemment sought indirectly to case Jewish anxiety by nnnouncing that Premier Goga would receive Theodore Fischer, president of tho Jewiah Party, and by permitting tho official news agency to deny that tho govern¬ ment's nationalist policy was bas¬ ed on racial supremacy. King Car¬ ol also sought to calm Jewish feara by revealing thati he sent New Year'a donations to tho Jewish communitiea of Jassy and Bucha¬ rest for distribution among needy children.
