Second 'Violence' Parley Scheduled at Brandeis University

WALTHAM, Mass.—Leaders in
industry, labor and the civil rights
movement will team with lawyers
and scholars at Brandeis Univer-
sity's Second Conference on Vio-
lence this weekend to explore what
actions national corporations and
unions can take to contribute to
the reduction of violence in the
United States.
The conference comes only three
months after the university's first
conference, which investigated the
1 e g a 1 , psychological, psychiatric
and sociological aspects of vio-
lence.
As a result of the December Con-
ference, Brandeis is currently com-
pleting studies which will lead to
the establishment of one of the
nation's first permanent Institutes
on Violence. It will consider,
among other areas, how violence
begins and what methods may be
used to contain and eventually
eliminate this social problem.
President Abram L. Sachar, who
organized both the first and second
conferences, described the three-
day April meeting as one at which
Brandeis will "seek to develop
guidelines that unions and corpora-
tions might follow to remove, as
much as possible, the sources of
explosive discontent in American

The conference, according to the
report, also produced a clear call
for a long-term university-based in-
vestigation into the causes of vio-
lence, and formulated a series of
proposals offered as stop-gap meas-
ures to help check the spread of
violence.
Dr. Karl Menninger, president of

the Menninger Foundation in To-
peka, Kan., pointed out that any
study of violence should include
ways to control "(a) the people
who fail to control themselves and
commit violence and (b) those
who might do so under the right
circumstances—which includes all
of us."
