T. S. Eliot Scores Upset Win Over Folksong, Communism

Cambridge citizens, completely indifferent both to the Communist Manifesto or to a discordant trie yodelling "Show Me the Way to Go Home," have a marked preference for the verses of T. S. Eliot. Perhaps it's the College influence.

Three Yard operatives, setting up Wigglesworth Hall as home base for their microphones and loudspeakers, broadcast all three offerings to unexpected passers-by on Massachusetts Avenue for about half an hour yesterday evening.

No one raised an eyebrow to the Manifesto or the troubadours, but even bootblacks joined the crowd listening with rhapsody to a rendition of Eliot's "Fragment of an Agon."
