Philbrick Hits '40 Student Union For Following Communist Policy

Former F.B.I. agent Herbert A. Philbrick, Tuesday accused the Harvard Student Union, a political organization here during 1940-41, of echoing the Communist Party line.

Philbrick, an undercover agent in this area for nine years, asserted in the third of a series of articles he is writing for the New York Herald-Tribune that the group's "pacifist" policy was determined by the party.

He quotes a statement by the Union's executive committee which reads: "Have you ever read the "Memoirs of the Harvard Ward Dead" containing pictures and biographies of the unfortunate victims of the last war. Have you ever visited Warren House and read the English A themes of the men who were killed in 1917-18?
