'Pink' Listing Given To Two Professors

Harlow Shapley, Paine Professor of Practical Astronomy, Kirtley F. Mather, professor of Geology, emeritus, and at least six alumni were bracketed with such names commonly associated with Red front groups as Howard Fast, Dashiell Hammett, and Paul Robeson.

The listing, from the Subcommittee report entitled "The Communist Party of the United States of America," reprinted in the current issue of U.S. News and World Report, was one of the criteria published to help citizens "spot a Communist Front."
