'Pink' Listing Given To Two Professors

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Ten per cent of a group listed as "the most typical sponsors of Communist Front Organizations" by the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, headed by Senator James O. Eastland (D. Miss.), have some connection with the University.

Harlow Shapley, Paine Professor of Practical Astronomy, Kirtley F. Mather, professor of Geology, emeritus, and at least six alumni were bracketed with such names commonly associated with Red front groups as Howard Fast, Dashiell Hammett, and Paul Robeson.

The listing, from the Subcommittee report entitled "The Communist Party of the United States of America," reprinted in the current issue of U.S. News and World Report, was one of the criteria published to help citizens "spot a Communist Front."
