NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Lieutenant J. G. Becker, the first American to penetrate the Ukraine for Herbert Hoover, will speak at a joint luncheon of the Student Liberal Club and the workers in the Jewish War Relief Drive, which is being conducted at the University under the auspices of the Harvard Menorah Society. The luncheon will be at 1 o'clock, at the club-house.

Lieutenant Becker, senior at Cornell when America entered the war, enlisted as a private, and rose to a lieutenancy during the war. Later, he was sent as special Commissioner by Herbert Hoover into the Ukraine, to investigate conditions and organize relief stations. In 1919 he was appointed General Director of the activities of the Joint Distribution Committee in Europe, in which capacity he had charge of the distribution of over $50,000,000 collected by the Jewish Relief Committee in the United States. He has returned to the United States. He has returned to the United States to tell of his personal experiences, and to tour the country in the interests of the campaign now being conducted for $14,000,000.

Lieutenant Becker will speak on "Another Aspect of the European Situation."
