Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
In a speech-on Boston Common yesterday afternoon, L. B. Cohen Jr., '32 president of the Harvard Socialist Club and distributor of "Welcome To MacDonald" circulars, urged labor to elect representatives to the legislature to take the places of those who were the nominees of capitalists.
Some 150 people heard the speech, in which Cohen reminded them of the injustices to Sacco and Vanzetti in Boston, to Moody and Billings in California, to Hoffman in Tennessee, and to himself in Cambridge, where he was not allowed to distribute Socialist circulars on the streets. Police allowed the meeting to run its length without interruption.
Cohen Visits Station
Late Saturday Cohen visited the Brattle Square police station and sought to regain the circulars which had been taken from his when he was arrested Friday, wishing to give the bills out at an indoor meeting Sunday. He was informed-that his circulars were secure in the locker of the officer who had taken them from him originally, and that they could not be obtained until his return Sunday morning. Promising to have them for him "Sunday, the officer on night duty told Cohen to come back then.
However, when the Socialist reported for his property yesterday, the night man had overslept, and the officer in whose possession the circulars were, had come and gone. The result was that Cohen was unable to secure his "Welcome To MacDonald" literature.
Cohen faces the prospect of a court session on Thursday, at the Third District Court, East Cambridge, for his offence in distributing circulars last Friday.
