McWhorter and Bingham Elected to Posts On National Young Republican Committee

Two officers of the Young Republican Club were appointed to national YRC executive positions last week.

Charles K. McWhorter 3L, president of the HYRC, will serve on the Young republicans National Federation's executive committee.

Arthur W. Bingham became college director of the New England Region of the Young Republican Committee. Both appointments came after a meeting of the group in Providence last week.

McWhorter also disclosed plans last night for a now HYRC committee to study the American Labor scene. Headed by John L Easton '47, the group will analyze problems between labor and management and draw up report on what needs to be done. The actual members will be chosen later in February.

HYRC will participate in the next session of the Harvard Open forum on February 23. Professor Charles R. Cherington of the government department will speak on how federal aid to education involves the principle of separation of church and state.

McWhorter also announced future dances with Radcliffe and Wellesley Colleges. Tentative plans schedule an Annex dance February 17.

HYRC members should remember to sign up again for the spring term, McWhorter said. This may be done either at Registration today or with House agents.

Bingham is the HYRC member at whom Robert C. Fisher '51, NSA delegate, levelled several charges when Fisher resigned from the HYRC last December. The accusations stated that Bingham headed a "Cloak and Dagger Department" which was run in a "Machiavellian atmosphere."

Fisher said that this group had considered wrecking the NSA, packing the Student Council, infiltrating into the Liberal Union, smearing candidates as communists, and distributing birth control pamphlets under the name of prominent NSA officers.

Later McWhorter emphatically denied all these charges. He stated, "Since I have been president of the HYRC, there has been no attempt to involve the HYRC in any other activity or group, including the NSA or the Student Council."

Bingham also refuted Fisher's charges when he said: "I wish to deny categorically membership in the League." McWhorter backed him up by pointing out that Bingham had never been a League member nor had he over supported their policies.
