TWO ANTI-NAZIS FREED UPON CONANT'S REQUEST

District Attorney Dismisses the Case Against Girls Who Demonstrated at Commencement Last Year

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

President Conant's plea for leniency yesterday brought freedom to the two girls arrested last June for their agitation against Hanfstaengl.
