Gordon spoke of the recent attack made on HYD member George Stocking, and declared: "We shall begin that fight by mobilizing University-wide protests against the fascist-like beating of George Stocking."
One of the men grabbed his leaflets and disappeared back into the dormitory. Another looked on approvingly, shouting "Communist bastard," and the last of the trio, who "acted drunk," proceeded to pummel Stocking.
George W. Stocking '49, still limping and wearing broken glasses, will file assault complaints today with Dean Bender and the Student Council, and will lodge information with University police against "three unknown Harvard men." He was attacked while distributing HYD-John Reed Society flyers in front of Wigglesworth Hall Wednesday...
With Dean Watson's permission, Stocking was distributing notices of a talk by Communist regional director Emmanuel Blum, scheduled for tomorrow night at Kirkland House Common Room, in Wigglesworth E entry, when three figures, obscured somewhat by darkness and rain, jumped him.
Stocking was clearly worsted in the encounter. He suffered a sprained knee, and his eyeglasses, which he was carrying in his hip pocket, were shattered. He will seek restitution from what he thinks were College men, for the cost of new lenses.
