Three anti-American propaganda films will be shown by the Student Council at 8 p.m. tonight at Phillips Brooks House in an effort to raise money for pre-Western students recently fied from East Germany.
Two of the films deal with the East Berlin riots of June 17, 1953. A third presents the communist conception of the American occupation of Germany.
Student contributions collected at the film showing will help several anti-Communist German students to spend the Christmas holidays in the Alps.
The project to raise money for the German students' fund was suggested by Otto J. Bachmann, released from a Russian forced labor camp last year. Himself a beneficiary of the fund, Bachmann is studying at the College this year on the James B. Conant Scholarship, awarded annually to a German student.
The International Activities Committee of the Student Council is sponsoring the film showing.
