Angelo Herndon Of Cincinnati. COL
ored Communist organizer, was
granted Supreme Court review to-
day in his effort to escape an 18-to-2o
year chain-gang sentence imposed by
Georgia courts under q statute en-
acted in reconstruction days to pro-
hibit insurrection against the State.
A review of a Georgia Supreme
Court ruling upholding the 1871 act
and sustaining the conviction was
granted. The death penalty could
have been imposed under the legisla-
ton.
In his appeal to the high court,
Herndon contended the statute vio-
lated his right of free speech, free
press and free assembly and that
there was no evidence that he had
advocated violence or other unlawful
acts"
Communist literature found in his
possession advocated among other
things establishment of a Black Belt
Republic" in Southern Negro sections.

MISSION BOASTS
UNIQUE RECORD
Protestant Movement Has
Averaged 1A Engage
r1ents in 20 Cities.

The world religious leaders who
have been conducting the National
Preaching Mission in towns and cities
all over the country can lay claim
to q rather outstanding record.
Since this Protestant movement was
inaugurated September l3, the noted
speakers have made an average OF
l04 speaking engagements in 20
cities-Washington being the twentieth
and fulfilled every single scheduled
engagement but one.
This and other facts about this
far-reaching movement were described
by DR.. Jesse M. Bader. director Of the
mission. on his arrival here yesterday
from Chicago. He had to rush to q
speaking engagement himself as soon
as he arrived.
Many Thousands Reached.
when the National Preaching Mis-
sion closes early next month in New
York City, we will have reached $4,000
minister's" DR.. Bader revealed. "At-
tendance has averaged 100000 in the
cities visited-and that doesn't in
clude the many thousands more who
have come into contact with the mis-
sion through the newspapers, maga-
zines and radio"
DR.. Bader. who is also secretary OF
the Department Of Evangelism Of the
Federal Council Of Churches. declared
the movement has reached "far be-
yond our expectations" and that 1t
would be recorded as the greatest
movement in the history of Protestant
churches in America"
1T Is simply tremendous" he said.
"In starting out, we hoped to begin
religious revival-and we're seeing it
today. Every Protestant denomination
in every city is participating, as well
as business groups, civic clubs, Gov
ernment executives, high schools. col
leges, labor groups. We are seeing a
marvellous response to the Christian
religion on every side"
Youth Held Interested.
The mission director took issue with
those who say youth is not inter-
ested in religion today"
THE youth of today. the mission has
found. is vitality interested in religion
not in a narrow sense. but in the
larger. broader Interpretation Of the
importance of the word Of God in
everyday life"
DR.. Bader revealed that when the
mission closed in st. Louis. the Mayor
asked If they couldn't stay another
week.
do you know what he told me?"
DR.. Bader asked. He said IL you
stay another week, I can dismiss my
police force The Mayor thought it
was the greatest thing that had ever
happened In the CITY,"
