About 100 students, most of them from Harvard and Radcliffe, are expected at Quincy today to assist in the wind-up of the CIO campaign for industrial unionism at the Fore River Yards of Bethlehem Steel. Wellesley, Simmons and M.I.T. will also be represented.
Leaving Cambridge at 3 o'clock, the student organizers will engage in the most intensive campaign of house-to-house canvassing in the history of their Committee, as they prepare for tomorrow's NLRB election in which 14,000 shipworkers will vote "yes" or "no" on the question of collective bargaining for Fore River. Today's student turnout will be the largest single group to aid the Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers (IUMSWA-Local 5) since the inception of Fore River Student Labor Committee.
A solid three-hours of canvassing will be followed by the Union-supper, after which the students will enter the election-eve demonstration which is now being planned. A gigantic auto parade, which would bring several thousand cars to Quincy, and a mass-meeting, are among the large-scale events in which the students may participate.
