Dean Hanford recommended student participation in the H-Y-P Conference on Public Affairs as "a unique opportunity," in a statement yesterday, and called his own part in the 1937 conference "one of the most valuable experiences in my work as a teacher of Government."

The name of Senator Robert Rice Reynolds of North Carolina has been added to that of Senator Tydings as a speaker at the conference banquet on Friday night, the committee in charge announced yesterday.

Thomas Armstrong, Vice-President of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, and Herman Brock, Vice-President of the Guaranty Trust Company; are additions to Table 1, on Latin-American relations.

Five men not named yesterday will attend Table 3, International Trade, the committee reports.

Earle of the Institute of Advanced Study; Ray Stevens, Chairman of the Tariff Commission; and Percy Bidwell, Research Professor in the Council of Foreign Relations.

Colonel F. C. Harrington, administrator of the W.P.A., has definitely accepted a place as a guest at Table 3, Social Security and Relief.

Stewart, member of the Regional Social Security Board; and Abraham Epstoin, Executive Secretary of the American Association for Social Security.

"There is no better way to understand such problems as social security and relief, the government and transportation, and the influence of pressure groups, "Dean Hanford said, "than by talking them over with well-informed persons in an informal manner around a table or in a conference room under condition which permit a fresh presentation of various points of view.

"The Conference also makes it possible for under graduates of the three college to become better acquainted with one another and with members of the Faculty. I shall always regard the privilege of participating to the 1987 conference as one of the most valuable experience in my work as a teacher of Government."
