Carl Sandburg read, recited, and sang for an enthisiastic audience that overflowed the New Lecture Hall yesterday afternoon.
Several of the poems he recited are scheduled for publication next month in his latest volume, "Completed Works." One of the yet unpublished poems, written in 1940, was, "An Open Letter to Poet Archibald MacLeish, Who has Forsaken His Massachusetts Farm to Make Propaganda for Freedom."

Accompanied by a guitar, he sang "The Illinois Pioneer Song." Sandburg also composed ox empere for his immediate audience.
