Panel to Ponder President's Role

Two Faculty members will appear tonight in a forum on "The Presidency in the Atomic Age." George B. Kistiakowsky, Abbott and James Lawrence Professor of Chemistry, and Stanley H. Hoffmann, professor of Government, will speak in the forum, which is being sponsord by a group of college students affiliated with Massachusetts Scientists and Engineers for Johnson and Humphrey.

Jerome B. Wiesner, dean of science at M.I.T., and Charles H. Tones, provost and professor of Physics there, will also speak. Lincoln P. Bloomfield '41, an M.I.T. professor of Political Science and director of an arms-control project, will serve as moderator.

The discussion begins at 8:30 p.m. at Cambridge High and Latin School.

Kistiakowsky, formerly science advisor to President Eisenhower, is a member of the Scientists and Engineers national committee. A Harvard student chapter of the group was approved last week by the Harvard Council for Undergraduate Affairs.

His speech--the third annual Dag Hammarskjold Memorial Lecture--is sponsored jointly by Radcliffe and the Harvard-Radcliffe World Federalists.
