Gen. Wedemeyer To Address HYRC

Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer (ret.), an authority on the Far East, will speak on Red China before the Young Republican Club next Tuesday, John W. Stephens '55, president of the group, announced yesterday.

The meeting, scheduled for 4 p.m. in the Dunster Senior Common Room, will be open to HYRC members only.

Wedemeyer currently heads the "Committee for One Million," a group working throughout the country to gain one million signatures on a petition against the admission of Red China to the United Nations.

During the years 1944 to 1946, Wedemeyer commanded the U.S. troops in the China theater and served as chief of staff for Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. In the summer of 1947 he made a special report for President Truman on Korea and China.

The recommendations of the report, Wedemeyer states, were not accepted, and he repeatedly attacked the Democratic foreign policy.

Wedemeyer will give a 20-minute talk and then answer questions from members of the club. The meeting is the HYRC's last of the year.

The Republicans will also hear Sen. Ralph Flanders (R-Vt.) this week. His talk is scheduled Friday at 4 p.m., in the Dunster Senior Common Room.
