The Rev. Dr. Hugh Halton, unofficial adviser to Catholic students at Princeton, disclosed yesterday that he was an adviser to the Harvard "Veritas" Committee.
Halton told the Daily Princetonian that he was a personal friend of Col. Archibald B. Roosevelt '17, chairman of the committee. In attacking the appointment of J. Robert Oppenheimer '26 as William James lecturer, Halton called it an example of "abusive liberalism" of such universities as Columbia, Harvard, and Princeton.
Halton accused Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr. '27, President of the Board of Overseers, and the rest of the Harvard Administration of "appalling ignorance" in their handling of correspondence on the Oppenheimer invitation.
