Beer Will Speak At HUAC Rally

Samuel H. Beer, professor of Government, will be the featured speaker tomorrow night at a rally to protest the hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee which open today in Los Angeles. Sponsored by the Harvard-Radcliffe Liberal Union, the rally will begin at 9:15 p.m. in Lowell Lecture Hall.

Students at the demonstration plan to pass a motion condemning the HUAC hearings and send a telegram to the Committee. The rally was supported Sunday night by the Young Democratic Club of Harvard and Radcliffe.

A newsletter from Americans for Democratic Action, of which Beer is national chairman, charged that the hearings are a device to boost the stock of Rep. John Rousselot (R-Cal.). Rousselot will reportedly have trouble in the November elections because of his outspoken membership in the John Birch Society.

Among the 60 witnesses subpoenaed for the four-day session are representatatives of the United States Festival Committee, a group of college-age students who have been handling arrangements for U.S. participation in the Communist-sponsored World Youth Festival in Helsinki, Finland, this summer.
