AVC Selects Delegation

A.V.C members turned out in force last night for election of their ten delegates to next month's State convention, and, unhampered by factional strife, elected a slate which included members from both camps in last spring's battle over a firm stand against Communist leadership.

The ten delegates will meet later this week to elect a chairman and discuss plans for the convention, which will be held in Springfield from November 14 to 16. The business before them will include the election of a state council and executive committee and, the formation of a state platform and program.

Split Ranks

As a result of last spring's split in ranks over the problem of preventing Communist leadership within the A.V.C., a special committee on factionalism last week issued a report on procedure which was heeded for the first time last night. Voting was conducted on an individual basis rather than by slates, and as a result two of the members who last year opposed the stressing of non-Communist leadership won positions in the delegation.

Balloting was followed by an executive committee meeting that outlined the year's proposed activities, which include a rally next February in support of the Rogers bill for increased subsidization on the G.I. Bill, and the establishment of a political action school at Harvard with a three-day symposium next spring. Purpose of the school will be the study of political techniques and the symposium will include famous leaders of labor unions and parties.
