DeSapio to Address Law School Forum On Party Policies

Carmine DeSapio, leader of the New York Democratic Party organization, will speak on "Politics of the Democratic Party" Friday evening at 8 p.m. in New Lecture Hall. The lecture, presented by the Law School Forum, will be followed by a panel discussion.

A center of controversy in New York State politics since Governor Harriman's defeat by Nelson A. Rockefeller last November, DeSapio has been accused of "bossism" by Republican leaders.

DeSapio reportedly secured the Democratic Senatorial nomination for District Attorney Frank Hogan over the objections of Harriman and Mayor Wagner, who both allegedly preferred either Thomas K. Finletter, former Secretary of the Air Force, or Thomas E. Murray, former Atomic Energy Commissioner.

Another lecture this week, "Towards Neutral Principles of Constitutional Law," will be given by Herbert Wechsler, professor of Law at Columbia University, Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. in the James Barr Ames Courtroom at the Law School. The address, the annual Oliver Wendell Holmes Lecture, is sponsored by the Law School.
