Twenty-four Harvard Faculty members joined more than 1500 colleagues from 192 American colleges in signing an almost full-page as in the New York Times yesterday asserting that "peace is the vital issue" and that "the best chance to promote the causes of peace will result from the election on November 3rd of Johnson and Humphrey."

The manifesto urged "absolute presidential control over the use of nuclear weapons," the strengthening of "existing agreements" on nuclear weapons, more negotiations in world trouble spots, trust in the U.N., and "multilateral disarmament."

The ad was placed by the Universities Committee on Problems of War and Peace, and among its sponsors were Gordon Allport '19, professor of Psychology; H. Stuart Hughes, professor of History; and Pitrim Sorokin '52, professor of Sociology, Emeritus.

Dalton, assistant professor of Organizational Behavior; Roderick Firth, Alford Professor of Natural Religion; William H. Forbes '23, lecturer on Physiology; Lester Grinspoon, instructor in Psychiatry.
