NEWSMEN TO STUDY HERE

Thirteen newspapermen, selected from 221 applicants in 39 states, have invaded Cambridge to embark on the third year of Harvard's unique $1,000,000 attempt "to promote and elevate the standards of journalism in the United States."

They are the Nieman Fellows, who throughout the year will have complete freedom to make any use they wish of Harvard's educational facilities, and will get paid by the University for doing so. In the past two years 21 reporters, editorial writers, and editors have held Nieman Fellowships.

Already this year the Niemans, the largest group since the program began, have met twice. Last Friday they lunched at the Faculty Club with Jerome D. Greene '96, Secretary to the Corporation; Louis Lyons, Boston Globe writer and Curator of the Nieman Foundation of Contemporary Journalism; and Arthur Wild, director of the University News office and Nieman nursemaid. Last night they dined with President Conant.

These are only the beginning of a round of dinners at which the Nieman follows will meet to discuss contemporary issues with noted newspapermen, publishers, professors, and politicians. On Thursday, October 3, the guest of honor will be Ralph Ingersoll, publisher of New York's new newspaper, P.M. Other guests slated for dinners this fall are Joseph W. Alsop, Washington commentator; Roy E. Larsen, publisher of Life and president of Time, Inc.; and Palmer Hoyt, publisher of the Portland Oregonian.

The Nieman fellows will all be affiliated with one of the Houses, either as resident or non-resident members.

Adams House will have three Nieman Fellows: Arthur D. Eggleston and Ralph J. Werner as non-resident members, and William M. Pinkerton as a resident. Eggleston, who will be here only for the first half year, is a labor columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, and has studied at the University of California. Werner is assistant financial editor of the Milwaukee Journal, and has emphasized a simplified presentation of financial and business news through charts, photographs, and "humanized" writing style. Pinkerton is a Washington reporter for the Associated Press, a former student at the University of Wisconsin, and a specialist on problems of relief, power, transportation, and agriculture.

Dunster will also have three Niemans: Nathan G. Caldwell as a resident, and John H. Crider and William J. Miller as non-residents.

Caldwell, a reporter for the Nashville Tennessean, has covered the T.V.A., public utilities and government agencies. For the past three years Crider has been at the New York Times Bureau in Washington, covering economic and financial aspects of the federal government.

Miller, a reporter for the Cleveland Press, has worked notably on labor troubles, relief problems, civil liberties, and municipal affairs.

At Eliot House as a non-resident will be Charles F. Edmundson, editorial writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, who has also worked on Detroit, Memphis, Birmingham papers, writing chiefly on problems of labor, agriculture, and industry.

Living at Leverett House will be Vance Johnson and Harry M. Davis, while Alexander Kendrick will be a non-resident member.

Johnson is managing editor of the Amarillo, Texas, Daily News. Davis is a feature writer for the New York Times, working chiefly on scientific articles for the Sunday magazine and the news review of the week. Kendrick is a news reviewer and book editor on the Philadelphia Inquirer, and for the past three years has been writing an interpretive review of the week's foreign news for the Sunday Inquirer.

Lowell House will have two non-resid- ent members: Boyd T. Simmons and Harry T. Montogomery. Simmons, who was once a mechanic in an automobile factory during a sit-down strike, has covered most of the major Michigan automobile labor disputes for the Detroit News. Montgomery is a cable news editor of the Associated Press in New York
