Just returned from the first annual convention of the Americans for Democratic Action in Philadelphia, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, associate professor of History, and Cambridge ADA chairman, will present a report of the conference's progress at a meeting of the Harvard Liberal Union this evening.
Among the 600 convention delegates who represented 192 ADA college chapters was a Harvard contingent of ten students and five faculty members. They heard Wilson W. Wyatt, former housing expediter and national chairman of the organization, keynote the convention with an assault on Henry Wallace's candidacy.
Third Party Castigated
Don S. Willner '47, national chairmen of Students for Democratic Action, ADA campus affiliate with 105 chapters, followed Wyatt with a report on his group's first-year program.
William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Walter P. Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers, CIO, joined in the attack on the third party, asserting that "the only outcome of their enterprise will be to play into the hands of the reactionaries."
Both Green and Reuther condemned the Taft-Hartley Law, and were united in their support of the Marshall Plan.
