Domocatic Presidential candidate Estes Kefauver, Senator from Tennessee, will open his New England campaign with a speech sponsored by the Harvard Young Domocratic Club today at 2:15, in Sanders Theater.

Kefauver, who has not announced his exact topic, will appear tonight in Boston and then proceed this weekend to New Hampshire, where he will seek support for the nation's first Presidential primary on March 13. In 1952 the Tennessee senator won the primary.

HYDC sponsorship of Kefauver denotes no official support for him, Charles L. Edson '56, the club's president, explained. "The club can give no support to a contender for the Democratic nomination, only to the candidate nominated by the Democratic Convention."

Before the speech, Kefauver will attend a luncheon at the faculty club given by Arthur A. Maass, associate professor of Government. Maass, not Moss, as erroneously reported yesterday, is one of the faculty sponsors of the newly formed "Kefauver for President" Club.

The president of the new club, W. Louis Patton '57, yesterday clarified a misunderstanding about the sponsorship of the address, and affirmed that the HYDC is presenting it. The "Kefauver for President" Club, however, will begin membership solicitation immediately following the speech, he added.

The Senator, an announced presidential hopeful, will arrive here this morning at 8 a.m.
