night.
Rev William B. Spofford, editor OF
the Witness, an Episcopal weekly and
executive secretary of the Church
League for Industrial Democracy, said
the committee was mot going to Bell
and Harlan Counties with any idea of
making anything that could be digni-
fed by the word investigation.
But We do believe" he added, that
the few days that We can be there will
enable us to determine whether or not
a thorough going study should be
made either by the United States Sen
ate or some other trained and respon-
sible organization such as the Research
Department of the Federal Council Of
Churches"
Members of Committee.
In addition to Mr. Spofford, members
of the committee, who will report to
the d clergymen who issued the Sen
ate appeal, are Rev Allan Knight

nacle: Rev. Reinhold Niebuhr, profes-

dick, Bishop c. K. Gilbert, DR.. s.
Parkes Cadman. Bishop F. J. McCon-
nell. DR.. Russell Bowie, Dr.. Robert Nor
wood and DR.. Ralph Sockman. would
"urge whatever action seems to them
wise" after receiving the committees
report.
Charges Of Violation.
Mr.. Spoford said the appeal to the
Senate was prompted by grave charges
of violations of law and civil liberties
and interference with the rights and
privileges of American citizens"
''It seemed to u.s." he said, that
these charges were so vital in their re-
lation to the fundamental rights Of
citizens and our ideals of freedom Of
speech, press and assemblage that a
thorough-going inquiry by the Federal
Government was called for in order to
throw light upon a confused situation
and to determine the actual facts"
Walter B. Smith, county attorney of
Bell County, and Cleon K. Calvert,
chairman Of the Pineville Citizens
