Seven present or former members of the Harvard Faculty are among a group of over 130 civic, business, religious, and academic leaders who have formed a committee to "expose and correct the activities of the John Birch Society."
The committee, whose formation was announced Tuesday, includes Erwin N. Griswold, Dean of the Law School; David Riesman '31, Henry Ford II Professor of Social Sciences; Samuel Eliot Morison '08, Jonathan Trumbull Professor of American History, Emeritus; Don K. Price, Jr., Dean of the Faculty of Public Administration; Archibald Macleish, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, Emeritus; George Cabot Lodge '50, Administrative Assistant to the Director of International Activities for Central American Studies at the Business School; and Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Visiting Professor of Biology in 1962-1963.
The new group, to be called the National Council for Civic Responsibility, will be headed by Arthur Larson, former director of the U.S. Information Agency, now at Duke University.
One of the council's first activities will be to prepare radio programs to counteract alleged distortions in radio and TV reports sponsored by extreme right-wing groups.
