NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Harvard and Radcliffe students malled 750 letters to Congressmen this week, urging them to vote for the unseating of the present Mississippi delegation, Peter H. Weiner '66, president of the Harvard-Radcliffe Young Democrats, said last night. The letter-writing campaign was sponsored by the Young Dems.

Weiner stated that "the Young Dems are not in favor of seating the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, but rather of holding new elections in Mississippi with prior registration under federal registrars."

Weiner added that even if this campaign does not lead to the unseating of the present Mississippi delegation. "We're certain it will succeed in strengthening the Voting Rights Bill which is now before Congress."
