Truman Will Speak At Model Convention Sponsored by HYDC

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Former President Harry S. Truman will be the principal speaker at a mock national Democratic convention to be sponsored next spring, from April 29 to May 1, by the Harvard Young Democrats Club. Student representatives will be sent from every state, Gary M. Little '61, the Club's vice-president, said last night.

Mock nominations for presidential and vice-presidential candidates will open the three-day meeting. Representatives will "create a platform" for the national party on the second day, according to Little; on the third, the New England Young Democrats Clubs will hold their annual meeting.

Every major democratic candidate in the coming presidential election has expressed hope of addressing the HYDC between now and the mock convention, Little added. As a result, he noted, the HYDC should be "well qualified" to make a choice between the leading candidates.

Representatives to the student convention must provide their own transportation, Little said, but funds now being solicited from educational foundations may pay for part of their room and board expenses while in Cambridge.
