(for Cloide Everett) Brehm to the Morristown Sun (circ. 3,989). The winning editorial: "The Sad Case of UT's President," a rousing attack on President Brehm for "giving way to a pressure group" and refusing to allow a Russian movie and old Charlie Chaplin films to be shown on his campus. Said President Brehm: "Everyone has the right to have convictions and to express them."
