ADA Rally in Philly Draws 750 Delegates

Prominent University Faculty members, as well as sizeable group of undergraduates, will be among 750 delegates converging today in Philadelphia for the national convention of Americans for Democratic Action that opens this morning at the Quaker City's Bellevue-Stratford Hotel.

Leading the Faculty ADA group will be Arthur M. Schlesinger, Higginson Professor of History and State ADA chairman; and Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, associate professor of History and Cambridge ADA head.

Other Cambridge members at the convention include: Alvin H. Hansen, Littauer Professor of Political Economy; Seymour E. Harris '20, Professor of Economics; and Rupert Emerson '22, Professor of Government.

No Action Planned

"While we plan no definite action, Cambridge ADA will support the Marshall Plan, domestic economic recovery, and the civil rights program," A. M. Schlesinger, Jr. stated yesterday before leaving for the convention.

Frederic D. Houghteling '50, HLU president, said his group would push for several measures, among them an ADA stand against UMT and a call to the United Nations to act against the Arabs in Palestine. Accompanying Houghteling as delegate of the college chapter will be Ray F. Contombugre.
