Americans United

ANOTHER IMPORTANT TIE between Dartmouth College and Americans United, the national non-partisan organization supporting postwar international security, was established in mid-November with the naming of Sidney C. Hayward '26, Secretary of the College, to an executive position at national headquarters in New York City. These new duties will be handled on a part-time basis only and will be subordinate to his regular College responsibilities.

President Hopkins is chairman of the board of Americans United, and the tremendous growth of the organization and the corresponding increase of his work made it necessary to add to the executive staff at New York headquarters—s West 54th Street, New York 19, N. Y.

President Hopkins, as the chairman of Americans United, arranged the October meeting of the Under-Secretary of State, Edward R. Stettinius, with representatives of eighty national organizations to explain to them the Dumbarton Oaks security proposals. Organizations represented at the off-the-record, two-hour session included the American Bar Association, the American Bankers Association, the American Legion, the A.F. of L. and the C.1.0. among other political, professional and church groups.

On October 25, President Hopkins led a Vote for Freedom rally of Americans United at which 4000 people gathered at Hunter College, New York. Among the speakers for the occasion was Charles G. BoltE '41, veteran of this war and chairman of the American Veterans Committee. The others were U. S. Senator Joseph H. Ball; Representative Joseph C. Baldwin; Judge Ferdinand Pecora; Ruth Bryan Rohde, former U. S. Minister to Denmark; and Charles Boyer, motion picture star.
