Business School Is Charged With Attempt to Seize City

Plan E was described as "a plot on the part of those people connected with the Harvard School of Business Administration to grab the government of this city," by Thomas F. McNamara, President of the Cambridge City Council, at a Council meeting Tuesday night.

Questioning the validity of the signatures on the petition for referendum, signed by 11,300 Cambridge citizens, many of which he claimed were written by the same hand, McNamara introduced a resolution calling for an investigation of the manner in which the signatures were collected. The resolution was passed.
