Broadcasting every Monday evening over the Crimson Network, the Harvard Rumor Clinic started its program this week by presenting Fillmore H. Sanford, instructor in Psychology, who gave an analysis of several rumors which have been circulated recently.

Interviewing Andrew E. Rice '43 and James McNulty '45, Sanford proved that such rumors as the one about the ERC being called up before January and the curtailing of train travel during Christmas vacation were without foundation, and backed up his statement with facts from the most authoritative sources at his disposal.

Sanford classified rumors as being of three types. Some probably originate from German short-wave stations. These tend to be anti-British or anti-administration rumors. Other types of rumor come from wishing or fearing something.
