Lurk For
NegroHero
kilograms TO Governor
Demand Safety
for Leader

lew YORK. - Joseph Brodsky
chief counsel for the International
Labor Defense, left today for At
lanta to complete arrangements for
the release of Angelo Herndon on
$4,000 bail.
At the same time, the I. L. D.
announced that by noon yesterday
the bail fund had been oversub-
scribed by s3,429.35.
The necessity of redoubled activ-
fly from every part of the country,
demanding from Governor Eugene
TaImadge of Georgia that the
safety of Herndon be guaranteed,
was pointed out by the 7. L. D.
The activities of the Ku Klux
Khan, to whom Angelo Herndon
represents the living symbol of
unity of black and white, and of
Communism, have been multiplied
in the past two weeks following q
state convention, attended by high
state officials, at which plans were
laid for the most intensive organ
izational campaign.
Press in Lynch Campaign
The Atlanta press has been full
of the most rabid attacks upon
Communism, melting lynch vio-
lence, for weeks.
The safety of Herndon, it was
pointed out, is in the hands Of the
working class. The most intensive
and immediate campaign is neces-
sary to prevent the lynchers from
carrying out the desire Of the
Southern white rulers to eliminate
the heroic young Negro Communist
leader.
This campaign must be expressed
in thousands of kilograms from
every part of the country, to Gov
ernor Eugene Talmadge at Atlanta.
Ga, demanding the safety of
Angelo Herndon.
Defense Fund Campaign
At the same time, the I. L. D.
urged on every individual and
organization that the impetus of
lllC IlCIl1OOll Do11 4lttu NdAllpdASh Nc
continued to complete the victory
toward which the raising of the
$l5, 900 bail was such a tremendous
achievement.
A most essential part Of this
campaign is the immediate rails
ing of the $4,000 ScottsborO-
Herndon defense fund, which
must be completed by August 81.
Money is needed from day } day,
it was pointed out, to take the
necessary steps to ensure the
hearing of the appeals of Hey
wood Patterson, Clarence Norris
and Of Angelo Herndon, before
the U. S. Supreme Court, and to
carry on the campaign around
these cases.
Up to noon Friday, only $1,619.59

same tone. On June Is, the
Roosevelt regime, with these records
on hand testifying to the effective
ness of the MIRA in putting the
burden of the crisis on the backs
OF the workers and poor farmers,
launched a campaign of ballyhoo in
praise Of the NRA and its "bene-
fits" to every section of the popu-
lation.
The statement of the Labor Re-
search Association concludes with
the question: Were not Roosevelt
and johnson lying in their June ,16
NRA anniversary speeches, when
they had at hand from their own
investigators such facts about the
real situation?"

The living conditions of the

and inadequacy of diet. During the
