Named to Liberal Body

Two Dartmouth men were recently prominent in the formation of a new liberal organization which stressed rejection of Communist support. James Loeb Jr. '29, national director of the Union for Democratic Action, the body which called the meeting of 130 prominent men and women, was chosen secretary-treasurer of the new organization, Americans for Democratic Action. Leon Henderson, former Price Administrator, and Wilson Wyatt, recently resigned Housing Expediter, were named temporary co-chairmen of the new ADA. Loeb's old organization, the UDA, plans to merge with the ADA in the near future.

Charles G. Bolte '41, chairman of the American Veterans Committee, was among those named to a twenty-five- member organizing committee working under Henderson and Wyatt.

The new organization is pledged to a "long and hard" fight to build an American liberal movement "with no hidden loyalties" and rejected "any alliance with totalitarian forces of the Left or Right.... any association with Communists or sympathizers with communism in the United States."
