University for permitting Pres. Harry

Warehousemens Union (CIO) to
speak there on Armistice Day The
denunciation was approved November
10 by the legion's executive commit
tee.
In wire to University Pres. James
B. Conant, Waring described the uni
versity's action as "a slap in the face
of every man who wears the uniform
of America in this war"
Conant answered.
"Mr. Bridges talk was unrelated to
Armistice Day, permission b e n g
granted to him to speak at the re-
quest of the Harvard Teachers Union
in accordance with general university
policy that Harvard buildings shall be
available for meetings sponsored by
recognized groups of the faculty He
