Crowe. Prof. Crowe was dismissed by the college, a United Church in- stitution affiliated with the uni- versity, after a letter he wrote to a colleague came into the hands of principal Dr. W. C. Lockhart. Five professors have resigned from the college as a result, One already has left and the hoard of regents has accepted the resig- nations of three more. A two-man committee of the Canadian Association of Univer- sity Teachers which investigated the dismissal said Prof. Crowe was the "victim of injustice."

West Maps Policy iim ii i In Berlin WASHINGTON (AP The Western Allies began mapping strategy today for a long diplo- matic battle against Russia's "free city" campaign aimed at ousting them from West Berlin. The stale department gave no- tice Thursday night that the U.S government does not intend to "enter into any agreement with the Soviet Union which, whatever the form. would have the end re- sult of abandoning the people of West Berlin to hostile domina- tion." The statement promised careful study of Russia's proposal to con- vert West Berlin into a free city protected by some kind of United Nations watchdog operation, It also promised consultations with Britain, France and West Ger: many as well as other NATO al- les . But officials said privately that while the statement did not spec- ifically and immediately reject the Soviet proposition, there was no doubt that in the long run, probably late next month, it would be turned cown CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE RA 5-1133 FIRE DEPT.
