Mullins 'Retracts' Cherington Blasts

W. E. Mullins, Boston Herald columnist who last Friday charged Charles R. Cherington '37, associate professor of Government, with being anti-Irish, issued a partial apology yesterday, but persisted in calling Cherington and Thomas H. Eliot '28 "New Deal cultists."

This time Mullins included Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, associate professor of History, in his blast, charging the three with being "intellectuals who are appalled at the thought of being identified as rightists," and adding that they "have nothing but contempt for the average professional politician and this attitude they probably inherited in their philosophy from Franklin D. Roosevelt."
