Douglas to Speak At A.D.A. Dinner

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Sixteen Harvard professors and graduates are among the sponsors of the Americans for Democratic Action's annual Roosevelt Day Dinner tonight at Boston's Copley Plaza Hotel. Like dinners are being held all over the country by various A.D.A. State Chapters.

Two of the principal speakers of the evening will be Senator Paul H. Douglas and Benjamin V. Cohen. Douglas has been hailed as the leader of the anti-isolationist party in Congress, while Cohen is U.S. delegate to the United Nations.

Cohen, one of F. D. R.'s so-called "Brain Trusters," will give a critical analysis of our foreign policy in Korea. Governor Paul A. Dever and James A. Wechsler, editor of the New York Post, will also address the delegates.

The Liberal Union has a table reserved for ten at the dinner. The H.L.U. is a member chapter of the Students for Democratic Action, although President M. Joel Mandelbaum '53 stressed last night that "all policy decisions are our own."
