HYRC Offers New Platform This Evening

Young Republicans Sport 54 New Men

Young Republicans will vote on an embryonic policy proposed as a basis for their platform tonight at 7:30 o'clock in a closed meeting at Phillips Brooks House.

The policy was drawn up by a five man platform committee under the direction of Sturtevant Hobbs '46, treasurer of the HYRC, and edited by a planning committee of the eight.

The policy will include many features of the 1944 Republican presidential platform, excepting some outmoded points, and will deal with both foreign and national controversial questions, including labor, taxation, inflationary measures, and the Marshall Plan.

Point-by-Point Method

Disapproval of any of the ideas contained in the 40-point proposal will not kill the statement in toto, since the point-by-point method of voting was designed particularly to retain or amend satisfactory parts and reject those not agreed upon by a majority.

Fifty-four more undergraduates have signed up with the HYRC since December 12, bringing the club's total paid-up supporters to 260, the largest of any political group in the university.

With their platform decided upon, the young Republicans intend to sponsor a series of talks by a number of nationally known party leaders in their program next term.
