Boston Communist Secretary Talks on N.Y. Red Trial Tonight

Daniel Boone Schirmer '37, secretary of the Boston Communist Party, will speak tonight under the auspices of the John Reed Club at 7;30 p.m. in Harvard 1. He will discuss "How the Conviction of the Communists Affects You."

Schirmer, who joined the Communist Party while an undergraduate, appeared as a defense witness before Judgo Harold R. Modina in July at the Communist trial in New York. He testified there that the Party was not a subversive organization "teaching violent overthrow."
