MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: The Palestine Commission
For appointment to this Commission I suggest:
(1) John W. Davis
(2) Judge Learned Hand
(3) Frank Aydelotte, former President of Swathmore College
and Director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.
He is American Secretary of the Rhodes Trust and is a former
Rhodes scholar.
(4) Mr. Charles E. Hughes, Jr., son of the former Chief
Justice, now practicing law in New York City and formerly Solicitor
General of the United States.
(5) Mark Ethridge, Publisher of the Louisville Courier, now
on a tour of the Balkans.
(6) Brank II. Buxton, Editor of the Boston Herald.
(7) Harold W. Dodds, President of Princeton University.
Even though he recently declined to serve on the Greek Electoral
Commission, it is believed his experience as Adviser to a number
of foreign governments and his standing in the academic world
make him well qualified to serve on this Commission.
(8) James P. Baxter, 3rd, President of Williams College,
who is well known as one of the organizers of the Office of
Strategic Services in its early days.
(9) Judge Charles E. Clark, former Dean of Yale Law School
and author of many works on legal subjects. He is now Judge of
the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, New
York City.
