A nation-wide investigation into all American colleges to establish the extent of Nazi propaganda there, may be the outcome of the investigation now being held here in connection with the charges against Dr. Frederick J. Hauptmann, it was indicated today.

Dr. Hauptmann, head of the German department of the women’s college of Rutgers University, is charged with spreading anti-Semitism and pro-Nazi propaganda among the students of his department.

No hearing was held today by the investigation committee. The hearing will be resumed tomorrow.

Meanwhile, great interest was aroused here by the resolution introduced yesterday in the New Jersey Assembly at Trenton, calling for a State investigation into the un-American activities and the spreading of Nazi propaganda in the New Jersey Women’s College.
