Travestead Says (Continued from page one) The controversial speech was made on August 2. On August 8, he was called to President Russell's office. "At that time," stated Dr. Travelstead, "he (President Rus sell) said that two persons had complained to his office about the part of my speech dealing with seg regation. When I asked him what specific complaint had been made by these persons, he said merely that they felt that such a speech at this time would 'cut our throats with the legislature' as we request funds for the University. President Russell admitted at this time that he had neither read the speech nor talked with anyone who had ac tually heard the speech and that we could talk about it later. He gave no indication whatsoever that any action would be taken concerning me because of the speech." The letter of dismissal, signed by Frank Welbourne, secretary of the board of trustees, reached Dean Travelstead August 21. The follow ing day he called upon President Russell and asked for an explana tion of the letter. He was told that the Executive Committee of the board of trustees felt that they and the University would be embar rassed if he made any further speeches on segregation. No Explanation Given "President Russell gave no ex planation why the Executive Com mittee had acted so hastily in send ing the letter of dismissal," Dr. Travelstead stated. "He knew, of course, that neither he nor the Committee had given me any warning whatsoever that any such action was even contemplated. He knew also that I had not been given any opportunity for a hearing be fore the Executive Committee prior to my receipt of the letter of dis missal." A meeting between the board of trustees and the dean was ar ranged for September 28, but Dr. Travelstead said he did not receive a call from the group to meet with them. Hearing Given He was finally given a hearing on October 27, at which time both his letter to Governor Timmerman and his speech were discussed. Dean Travelstead said it was made clear that the speech rather than the letter was the cause for dis missal. "At this meeting I was given the impression that the Executive Com mittee was of the opinion: "1. That persons employed by the University should not engage in discussions of controversial is sue.

Work is well under way on the development of even more advanced powerplante - jet, turboprop, nudes,. standard equipment along the air lanes of the world. The large majority of them will be powered by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft jet engines -an achievement of great significance. A jet-turbine powerplant that develops 10,000 pounds of thrust - or more -- involved some of the most com plex problems of present-day engineering. A glance at the roster of today's J-57-powered military aircraft* is proud testimony to the success with which those problems were resolved by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft engineers. *1-100 - 1-101 . 1-102 - 140 - IOU - Aso - saa - Kc-Iss PRATT a WHITNEY AIBRCRAFT olvisION OF UNITED AIRCRAFT COOPORAIION SAST HARTFORD 8, CONNECTICUT Worid's foremoet dfesigner and buIIdar
