Members of the Harvard Young Republican Club yesterday received in the mail anonymous engraved cards urging them to disown and discredit ex-president David F. Peterson '59 "for his negligible and insignificant contributions to Republicanism at Harvard." The card followed by two weeks a similarly engraved one praising Frederick P. Claussen '59, former vice-president, and Arthur I. Reade, Jr. '59, former secretary...

Knowland's front-running opponent, Attorney General Edmund ("Pat") Brown, demanded that Knowland disown responsibility for use of the tract, drew only the surprisingly lame comment: "I don't think I'm called upon to agree or disagree with every piece of material that comes to my attention."

Padang's Colonel Husein is his closest friend, and he is with the rebels in spirit but, so far, hesitates to disown Djakarta. Possible reasons: his region is heavily settled by migrant Javanese who in recent municipal elections gave one-third of their votes to the Communists; one of his four battalions is made up of Javanese troops. To underline his neutrality he last week had his officers and men swear allegiance...
