NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Opening the defense bond and stamp campaign, Donald Duck will be the feature attraction at a mass meeting to be held in the New Lecture Hall at 8 o'clock tonight.

Appearing in Walt Disney's short, "The New Spirit," Donald will be preceded on the program by Dr. John T. Dunlop, Faculty instructor in Economics, and Francis B. Sayre, Jr., assistant rector of Christ Church. In addition, a news reel of the raid on Pearl Harbor and a motion picture on "America's Call to Arms" will be shown.

Open to all members of the University, the rally will be under the general direction of Richard L. Hall '43, who is chairman of the committee in charge of the drive, and who will preside over the meeting. Known as the "Bonds for Victory" campaign, the drive is being conducted by the Defense Service Committee to accustom the University to the practice of regularly buying government securities.

As a highlight of the meeting, pledges of undergraduate organizations to buy bonds will be announced, while individual pledges will be accepted at the end of the rally.

Scheduled to be the last speaker, Mr. Sayre is the son of the High Commissioner of the Philippines, and a grandson of President Wilson. An expert on labor economics here, Dunlop will speak on the economics of the defense bond program.
