Harvard Man is Legislator at 21

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Without making a single speech and having to use the absentee voters ballot to vote for himself, Pfc. Jack A. Stone '42, has been elected as the youngest Representative to the Indiana state legislature and is possibly the youngest legilsator in the world, according to the Fort Devens Bugle.

Twenty-one years old, Stone conducted his campaign to the voters of his native Evansville, Indiana, from the vantage point of Fort Devens. His father, an Evansville lawyer, did most of the work, Stone's only contribution being a paper on "Why the Republicans Should be Elected This Year ".

A transfer student from Indiana University, Stone was an editor of the CRIMSON, technical director of the Network, and was graduated with a degree of bachelor of science.

He registered for the draft from Cambridge in August and was shortly inducted into the Army at Devens, where he is now assigned to a military police escort guard.
