NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Rev. Martin Luther King, Minister of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., has been named as one of the guest preachers at Memorial Church for next year. The Southern integrationist leader will deliver the Sunday sermon on January 10.

Dr. George A. Buttrick, Preacher to the University, last night commented that King is part of "the best list of guest preachers the University has had." Buttrick also disclosed that the 1959-60 William Belden Noble Lectures will be delivered by Professor Joseph Sittler of the Federal Theological Faculty, University of Chicago, from December 6 to December 10.

Other guest preachers for next year include Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr and Dr. Paul Tillich.
