War in Vietnam Scored by 1200

Ninety-eight members of the Harvard community were among the more than 1200 signers of an "open letter on Vietnam" which appeared as a full-page advertisement in yesterday's New York Times.

The letter urged President Johnson to cease offensives in Vietnam. It called on Johnson to ask the Geneva Conference and the U.N. to schedule negotiations which would include both the Saigon government and the Viet Cong.

It also asked that the U.S. pledge itself to abide by the results of the negotiations and to join in an international program to build a unified Vietnam.

The signers included HIllary Putnam, Professor of Philosophy; Gerald Holton, Professor of Physics; George Wald, Professor of Biology; and H. Stuart Hughes, professor of History and national co-chairman of the committee for a sane nuclear policy.
