charge Of tae defense of the Negro
es in the Scottsboro case in the trial
that took place at Decatur Alabama.
Mr.. Paisley says he took it up when
he was asked to do so by the lister
naional Labor Defense after becom-
ing convinced by study of the court
records that the Negro boys were not
guilty with the stipulation that "the
Communists must be called off" and
he must be left unhampered. The
author adds that he accepted no fee
and paid all his own expenses. The
inside story of the Decatur trial
whose general outlines were familiar
to newspaper readers a year or two
ago is told by Mr. Paisley with de-
tail and some verbatim report Of the
evidence. But he concentrates his at
~tention on the lawyer for the de-
tense and keeps Mr.. Leibowitz in the
spotlight using his methods and his
management of evidence witnesses

Dear Sir:

Omaha Nebraska. +.
Dear Sir: #
Your letter of September 21st ad-
dressed to the state relief director
Of Nebraska has been referred to
our department for attention. The
writer has been absent from the Of
flee for the past ten days attending
unemployment service conference in
the east and that accounts for your
letter not receiving earlier attention.
In this mornings mail we have a
lette, from our Washington office
giving us a copy Of the letter you
sent to the Secretary of Labor. The
writer is disappointed in receiving
such information as we wers hope ii
hat -ie work in Omaha was being
handled in sch a way that would
not warrant such complaint.
For several years the writer was
located in the cast and had a very
close association with the leaders of
the Urban League AM | was very
happy to accept a recent invitation
to address the Omaha Urban League.
/ was greatly pleased over my re-
ception by that organization and l
considered my contact with Mr.
nerns and his association very much
worth while.
Before answering your letter 1 am
referring the whole file to MIR Will
lam Parkinson who is our re-employ-
ment manager in Omaha. We are
confident that Mr.. Parkinson is not
discriminating against Negroes in
Omaha and we suggest that if you
have not already contacted with Mr..
Parkinson that you do SO at once.
Yours truly

A biographical chapter tells how

criminal lawyer. His professional
perience and advance have all been
contained in the last dozen years and
Mr. Paisley says Of his connection
with the Scottsboro case that it lift
ed him out of the local milieu of New
York and definitely established him
as a national figure with something
Of a foreshadowing Of the legal sta
ture of his illustrious predecessor
Clarence barrow"
Mr-. Paisley finds four chief rea-
sons for the success of his subject
and the notable number Of acquittals
almost 100 per cent he has won. They
are his knowledge of human nature
his prowess as a cross examiner his
ability as jury pleader and "his con-

bill" Pressly Runs Wild
Against Western Union
College ...

bill" Presley, stellar Omaha
University halfback ran wild a.
gainst Western Union College, in
their annual game, Friday at League
Park. Presley scored on runs on IS
yards, rs yards and 16 yards. All in
all, he scored a total of 10 points to
land himself in second place in the
seasons scoring race among Omaha
University players. 1t was indeed q
treat to the many fans present tt
watch this shifty half back start a.
round end and bowl over the oppos
ing ends and halfback. He was also
on the receiving end Of a passing
combination, Pearey to Presley
which functioned near perfect. He
scored the first touchdown of the
game and was continually a thorn in
the side Of Western Union. This IS
yard run for a touchdown, was a
beauty to see Presley started around
IlIo OWH lSlJ emu, SClll armed, the
Western Union halfback reversed his
field and out ran the safety man.
He by far, received the biggest ova-
ton from the crowd on scoring this
touchdown, although one of his fell
low team mates, made a much long
er run to a touchdown.
Let's more Of US go out and give
this race lad support and at the same
time enjoy a good football game. He
will perform before the home crowd
in three games, after which he will
turn his attention to the track team,
where he is a much greater star.
Omaha University won this game
52-2, and much credit goes to Pres
sley, and also to his team mates who
SO ably blocked for him. Pearey,
