Among the six economists commissioned by the Twentieth Century Fund this week to formulate proposals for broad economic measures to achieve and maintain general prosperity in the post-war United States are three from Harvard.
Alvin H. Hansen, Lucius N. Littauner Professor of Political Economy, Sumner H. Slichter, Lamont University Professor, and John H. Williams, Nathaniel Ropes Professor of Political Economy and Dean of the Graduate School of Public Administration, will all state their own conclusions in a symposium which will probably be ready for publication late in the year.
Professor Hansen is a consultant to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and author of "Business Cycle Theory" and "State and Local Finance in the National Economy" Professor Slichter is a consultant to the Committee for Economic Development, and author of "Union Policies and Industrial Management" and "Present Savings and Post War Markets." Professor Williams is a vice-president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Professors Benjamin M. Anderson, of U. C. L. A., Howard S. Ellis, of the University of California, and Jacob Viner, of the University of Chicago, will complete the group. Hansen, Slichter, and Viner are former presidents of the American Economic Association.
