Simpson Backs Federal Aid To Education at GOP Forum

Speaking before the fourth meeting of the Harvard Republican Open Forum on Wednesday evening in the Winthrop House Junior Common Room, Alfred D. Simpson, assistant professor of Education, came out in favor of increased federal aid to education, although recognizing, the danger implicit in federal supervision.

In reply to a question of Charles R. Cherington, assistant professor of Government and faculty sponsor of the Forum, Professor Simpson stated: "I do not believe teachers have the right to strike although the case for their having that right is now stronger than ever before." He added that in view of the present great need of government assistance, it would be worth risking federal control.
