Non-Existent Lectures Draw Fire from Ever-Vigilant Trib

Colonel McCormick struck again last Thursday.

In its fifth article alleging communism in Harvard, the Chicago Tribune lashed out at visiting lecturer Vera Micheles Dean for "hiding facts" in her regional study course, "The United States and Soviet Russia."

"Students who take her class," concluded the Tribune, "will emerge from it with some queer opinions of Soviet policies, and probably little knowledge of the facts of communism."

But where the Tribune got the facts for its story, headlined "Lectures Give Queer Notion of Red State," is still a mystery to University officials. Mrs. Dean has never yet appeared here, nor has her course, scheduled for next spring, ever been given.
