GUARDIAN TO HOLD PROPAGANDA STUDY

FACULTY HELPS

Plans for the Guardian's third annual conference, to be held here Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, were made public last night by John M. London '41, undergraduate chairman of the affair. This year's subject will be a special study of propaganda. Over 200 experts from all over the country have been invited, and at least 100 undergraduates are expected to attend.

A large number of Faculty members have been taking an active part in backing and formulating a program for the Conference. Serving as Faculty chairman is Carl J. Friedrich, professor of Government, and assisting him are Professors Gordon. W. Allport, Kirtley F. Mather, Arthur N. Holcombe, Rupert Emerson; and Assistant Professors. Payson S. Wild, E. Pendleton Herring and Merle Fainsod.

Several authorities from the political and academic worlds have been invited. Among them are: Leonard Doob. professor of Psychology at Yale; Stuart Chase; I. A. Richards, head of Magdalen College at Oxford; Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Lynd, authors of "Middletown in Transition"; Alan Dudley, representative of the British Broadcasting System in New York; Professor Hans Kohn from Smith and Frederick L. Schuman from Williams.

To discuss the topic "Propaganda and American Democracy," several nationally known figures have been sent invitations. The government's view, Guardian officers hope, will be represented by Congressman Martin Dies, Robert M. LaFollette, Jr. and La-Guardia. Other possible speakers include: Waiter Mills, author of "The Road to War;" Boywood Broun: Walter Lippmann; Frieda Kirehway, editor of the "Nation;" Lloyd Free, editor of "The Political Science Quarterly;" and Max Lerner.
