UADC Circulates Anti-Draft Papers In Houses Today

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Petitions to President Truman asking for immediate repeal of the draft act will be distributed in all ungraduate dining halls tomorrow by a new student organization calling itself the United Anti-Draft Committee.

The University's latest political group is a result of a desire by the Young Progressives of Harvard to unite organizations and individuals, of anti-draft sentiment, on or off the Harvard campus. It will include those who oppose selective service on moral grounds, such as pacifists, and those who object on political grounds such as World Federalists and YPH men.

Line Up Progressives

"We've lined up the Progressives of Cambridge and seval organizations in local colleges who object to the draft," said James B. Lynch 3G, temporary chairman of the UADC. The UADC has not yet applied to the dean's office for a charter.

In the near future the UADC intends to send an anti-draft lobby to Washington. Next spring it plans a peace rally at which it hopes to have Albert Einstein as guest speaker.
