Kluckhohn Will Fly to Paris

UNESCO Beckons Anthropologist

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Clyde K. M. Kluckhohn professor of Anthropology, revealed last night that he has been asked by the State Department to go to Paris for a meeting of UNESCO on "international tensions."

The meeting, the first one of its kind, will initiate a project "for studying the sources of international tension in so far as they arise out of social life and personality disorders."

The sessions are scheduled to begin January 21 and will continue for four or five days. The State Department has arranged for Kluckhohn to fly to France just before the meeting but he declined to disclose the name of the official who had asked him to go. Eric Frome, author of "Escape from Freedom," will also represent the United States.

Won $10,000 Award

Kluckhohn attributed his appointment partially to his book "Mirror of Man: The Relation of Anthropology to Modern Life," which was published on January 25. The book won the $10,000 Whittlesey House Illustrated Science Award given to writers of outstanding works interpreting science for the layman.

As director of the Russian Research Center and in making a study of Japan for the government during the war, Kluckhohn established a widespread reputation as an expert in the application of the principles of Anthropology to current problems.
