JFK Biography Will Be Shown

It took an Act of Congress, but the Class of 1910 will see Wednesday a film biography of its most famous member. John F. Kennedy. Years of Lightning. Day of Drums, a United States Information Agency film on the life and assassination of the late President, will be shown to the Class at 10:30 a.m. at the Harvard Square Theatre.

Although there is no law against the screening of USIA films in this country, by tradition the agency's efforts are shown only with special Congressional approval. Rep. Torbert H. Macdonald '40 (D-Mass.) introduced the bill obtaining permission for Wednesday's showing. Another bill, presently pending in Congress, would permit the Kennedy documentary to be shown in commercial theatres throughout the nation.
