Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 8 Chair
man D. Homer Stephenson and John
B. Wilson of the liquor commission
asked by Governor Kump to resign
answered today they thought commits
sion accounts should be audited first
Both wrote letters, saying the same
thing:
I'm order to protect the interests
of the state, as well as in fairness to
myself and my bondsman, must ask
that complete audit and inventory
of the affairs of the commission be
made, and 1t seems to me that this
should be done before my relations
with the commission are severed"
Stephenson was asked if his letter
meant he intended to step out immed-
lately. He replied:
mo, am waiting to find out what
the governor is going to do about my
request for an audit
The governor, upon inquiry, said
he had not yet had time to consider
the replies, which followed his orders
for them to vacate. He had nothing
further 10 say.
Stephenson made public letter
from the governor, which asserted
that "you are informed that here
by remove you as member and
chairman OF the West Virginia Lii
quor Control commission, effective
Immediately"
He said the communication was de-
livered to him at his Clendenin home
last night by Superintendent p. D.
Shingleton of the department of pub
ic safety. :aHFsz
The Glitter from the governor said:
las I have stated to you personally

HERNDON WINS REVIEW
BY SUPREME COURT
Out On $1,000 Bond

Washington, Dec, 4 tCNA) The
United States Supreme Court last
week announced that it would review
the case of Angelo IIcrndon, young
hero of the Georgia ''msurrcction'
trial. The hearing is expected to be
held some time in December.
By its latest decision, the court TO.
versed its previous, twice repeated
stand that 1t had no authority to
make any decision Regarding the de
mand that Herndon be freed and the
old, Pre-Civfi War, slave statute I'M
der which he was convicted be de.
clarcd unconstitutional Herndon was
sentenced to serve IL to 20 years on
the notorious Georgia chain gang, but
is out on $1,000 cash bail furnished
by workers through the International
Labor Defense.
Herndon, now % years old, was
arrested in 1882 in Atlanta Ga.
charged with melting to insurrcction
because he lead a successful united
demonstration Of Atlanta white and
Negro .difempleyed. Tor relief. During
his trial, Herndm electrified the ma
ton by his militancy in court.
Following the previous rcfusals of
the federal court to review the case
the I. l.. d. through Whitney North
Seymour, noted white constitutional
lawyer, took the case up again on
writ Of habeas corpus through Fulton
County, Ga, and the Georgia State
Supreme Court to force the highest
court Of appeals to make a ruling.
AS the decision was handed down
last week, preparations were nndcr
way In more than 500 cities through
ont the country for IIerndon Day
meetings, on Monday, Nov. 30. The
mcetigs were organized to make
clear to the u. S. Supreme Court the
powerful popular demand for the free
dom Of HerndOn and repeal of the
Georgia insurrection law.
An important victory for civil lib
critics in the United States was seen
in the decision of the high court In
the HcrndOn case by Anna Damon,
acting national secretary Of the I. l..
ID. The voice OF millions Of Ameri
cans had forced the reversal OF its
previous stand by the Supreme Court
according to Miss Damon.
The Daily Worker. Communist pa
per, saw in the decision "a victory
for the cause of progress, for the
struggle for Negro rights"
Twice i'm the past the Court has
refused 10 review the Hcrndon case
the paper stated. The continued fight
for Herndon, led by the United Horn
don Defense Committee and the In
tornational Labor Defense, has now
opened the door to a hearing on the
infamous slave insurrcction law un-
der which nc was convicted.
The decision was also hailed by
DR. Harry +. Ward. president Of the
American League Against War and
Fasdsm and m official Of the \,
merican Civil Liberties Union. rs an
important partial victory FOR the pro-
gressivc forces Of The country. The
American Civil Liberties Union and
the National Association for the Al
vanccment Of Cclored People are
beth members Of the United Ucrndon
Defense Committee.
