William Clark of Princeton, N.J., yesterday filed a $150,000 libel suit against James Bryant Conant '14, President emeritus.
Clark, who was chief justice of allied high commission courts in post-war Germany, charged that Conant libeled him in a cabled memorandum to Secretary of State Dulles. Clark's accusation that German courts were Persecuting American civilians involved him in a two-year battle with Conant and the State Department.
Conant was in Princeton delivering the third of the annual Stratford Little Lectures. A process server reached Conant at the home of Dr. Harold W. Dodds, president of Princeton University.

He stated that "one must wonder" at the idea that Communism's "exclusive attention to the dogmatic type of deductive thinking" could provide answers to present-day human problems.
