AVC Corrects Error

The Mail

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Your November 27 story regarding the AVC Convention in Cleveland contained . . . one gross error. Your article reported that 11 New York chapters of AVC were ousted for supporting Wallace's opposition to the Marshall Plan. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The chapters were suspended (not ousted) because they had voted to seat, on a local council, an AVC member who had previously been suspended for appearing on a program of the American Labor Party as a representative of AVC, in contraversion of AVC's firm policy of political neutrality. Neither the Marshall Plan (which we support) nor any other political issue was involved. It was strictly a matter of open defiance by these chapters of the national organization, which of course could not be tolerated. Eastman Birkett 3L   Chairman, Harvard Chapter, AVC
