NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Feb. 17 (UP) —Yale university replied today to charges of Communism on the campus by defending the right of professors to teach all sides of any problem, so students can be free io form their own opinions.

Dr. Mysels To Speak at Physics Meet
Dr. Karol Mysels, associate professor of chemistry, will speak today on the “Polarizability of Un-symmetrical Ions” before a physics seminar in 159 Science hall at 4:30 pun.
“An ion, or charged particle, moving in liquid due to electrical force, will generally twist,” said Dr. Mysels, and compared this twisting to that of a racoon' tail attached to the radio aerial on an automobile.
“If the laws pertaining to this phenonemon are knowm,” said Dr. Mysels, “scientists may be able to determine the shape of the charged particle. By computing the extent of the twisting through measurement of the di-electric constant, the size and shape of the particle may perhaps be deduced.”
“If the size and shape can be determined in this way,” Dr. Mysels said, “much will be gained in the knowledge of proteins and viruses.”
The subject of today’s speech constituted part of Dr. Mysels’ doctor’s thesis at Harvard university.
Film Classics To Feature British Movie
A vivid picture of pre-wax England spiced with some typical Shavian wit is offered in the Film Classics showing of the classic British movie production of the G. B. Shaw stqry, “Major Barbara,” tonight at 8 in Hancock.
Introduced with a brief talk by the late playwright and humorist, the film is puzzling to the audience, which is never quite aware whether it is a tragedy or a comedy.
Featuring Rex Harrison and Wendy Hiller. “Major Barbara” is the initial offering of the spring Rim Classics program, sponsored by Delta Kappa Alpha, professional cinema fraternity.
Admission for this showing is free. Tickets for 11 subsequent performances of the Film Classics may be obtained for $3.
“Major Barbara” is the story of a Wealthy English girl who forsakes the easy life of her family to join the Salvation Army. The movie attacks the selfish, mercenary attitude of her munitions-manufactur-ing father in respect to war. It attempts to show a girl seeking a meaning to life.
Tickets for the 11-week series are being sold in front of the Student Union and at the university ticket office, second floor Student Union.
Showing of the Film Classics will be on consecutive Monday evenings at 8. Student productions from the department of cinema will usually precede the screening of the feature film.

Fertig Says Russian Power Is Real Basis of Conflict
Russian power, made up of the ingredients of totalitarianism, economic flexibility, and diplomatic initiative is the real basis for conflict between the U.S. and the U.S. S.R., according to Norman R. Fertig, lecturer in International Relations.	.
Fertig, speaking Friday to the International Relations club, claimed that this power is a long-range weakness and will prabably result in internal disintegration, but we, living in the present, must realize the immediate implications of Russ power.
“If we examine such factors as steel production it doesn’t look like we are in a bad position,” Fertig said, “The U.S. production totaled 108 million tons while the Russ produced only 35 million tons Use of this .steel presents a totally different picture. Leaders in Russia
have the ability to channel all production to military use but we cannot do this.”
Two elements of Russ power operate largely within Russia and her satellites; therefore they are beyond our power to combat, but the present Russ hold on diplomatic initiative is vulnerable, Fertig believes.	,
“If the U.S. can channel, even in a small measure, Stalinist agression, we can improve our bargaining position. We must deal with power—if we can channel power we can weaken.” Fertig continued, “We are also attacking the secondary basis of conflict, the ideological, by promoting political heresy.”
Fertig called the approach to the problem of conflicts, “A challenge to clear thinking.” Several conceptions of the differences between the two countries are widely held. He
said that the press appeal to the emotions with their “free World versus the slave world” had a certain element of reality. Certain labor unions in this country have effectively stepped trade with Russia because they oppose competition with what they label “slave labor.”
World trade competition, the economic conflict, is blamed by many for differences between the two
powers, but even the Russ leaders think it is secondary in importance Fertig contended.
Ideological differences certainly • contribute to the tension between the US. and Russia. This might be called the “atheist versus the spiritual” as Whittaker Chambers labeled it. Fertig placed idelogical conflict in a subordinate position also.
