Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, cou-
selor in religious education, returned
Friday from Chicago, where he was
appointed chairmanof the research
committee of the International Coun-

Tensions in Production Areas," "Reli-
gion and Public Schools," and "Hate

departments of major universities.
Among the members of the committee
are Hugh Hartshorn of Yale, Ernest
Chave of Chicago, and Harrison S.
Elliott of Columbia.
"Our budget is sorely curtailed,"
said Dr. Blakeman. "Therefore our
work is limited, but a recommenda-
tion has prevailed to coordinate this
section for the duration with the re-
search division of the Federal Council
of Churches and to join with the pro-

per organization in the federal gov-
ernment dealink with post-war re-
construction."
-About 300 delegates attended this

To Give lecture
Dr. Alberto Arca-Parro of Peru will
lecture on "Peru's Population Prob-
lems: Economically Active and Inac-
tive Population" at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday

cluded in his tabulations, many Indi-
ans had to walk fifty miles to be
registered.
He is considered the outstanding
outhority on Peru's population prob-
lems, economic development, and so-
cial legislation.
The lecture is sponsored by the
geography department.
