Mr. Hayden’s Older Kids

New York, Dec. 14-The day’s news brings a report on the interrogation of Mr. Tom Hayden by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Mr. Hayden is a co-founder of the Students for a Democratic Society, and its principal guru, and he was in Washington to tell the Committee (obscenely, of course -you wouldn’t want to suspect him of adopting middle-class values) that it is silly and no-good, and that America hasn’t seen anything of student rioting, wait till the kids grow up who are now seven and eight years old-the best argument for infanticide since King Herod’s.
