The Harvard Student Union will distribute blanks for the nation-wide Peace Ballot, sponsored by the "Yanks are Not Coming" Committee, on Saturday, May 11.

1,000,000 voters will be polled by door-to-door volunteers, a member of the Committee stated last night.
Russell Nixon, of the Cambridge Union of University Teachers, is among the sponsors from the labor field, while Ernest J. Simmons, assistant professor of English, is included in the civic and educational roster.
