assistant to Attorney Morris
Shapiro, who is secretary of the
committee. 1t was the first public
statement from the committee
since DR.. Allan Knight Chalmers,
committee chairman and noted
minister, last December publicly
criticized former Gov. Graves for
breaking his promise to free the
five innocent youths by last Octo-
Der.
The campaign will include ma
tionally circulated petition adj
dressed to the new Gov. Frank
Dixon, of Alabama, urging the inn
mediate release of the boys, to-
gether with a defense fund drive
and series of meetings in COM
munities throughout the country.
A new pamphlet on the celebrated
case has been specially prepared
for the campaign.
Widest Support"
A new governor now sits in
Alabama and we must do every
thing possible to have him correct
the act of injustice on the part of
his predecessor. The committee
has prepared a new petition ad-
dressed to Gov. Frank Dixon,
Montgomery, Ala, demanding the
immediate pardon and release of
the boys. Letters should be sent
at once urging the Governor to act
quickly, Mrs. Shapiro stated.
Meantime, the five boys are suf-
fering "deplorable conditions" in
the Alabama prisons, Mrs. Shapiro
declared. The five youths are:
Clarence Norris, sentenced to life;
Andy Wright, SO years; Haywood
Patterson, 70 years; CT arl i e
Weems, rs years, and Ozie Powell,
20 years.
Mrs. Shapiro said that petitions
already had been sent to the COM
mittee's local branches throughout
the country as well as to scores of
labor and progressive organiza-
tons, Negro and white.
"We intend to enlist the widest
support among labor, liberals and
among the American people in gen.
eral for our campaign" she con-
tinued. eve want this to be a
real victory campaign"
