unwary, peace-lov1ng and tolerant con-
gressmen and senator's"
The resolution, if passed, will des-
troy the freedom of the press, Rev.
Troy pointed out, by making unmail-
able whatever may incite racial or re-
ligious hatred or bigotry or intoler-
ance." A fine of $4,000 or imprison-
ment for five years or both can be i'm
posed if convicted of breaking this
measure.
The terms used in the bill have con-
siderable latitude for definition and in
depreciation. Thus anything published
condemning the mistreatment of mi
nority racial or religious groups, de-
picting conditions and the necessity for
action or redress, can easily be inter
preted as causing racial hatred or in
tolerance.
Every liberty-loving citizen is urged
to write congressman and senators to
oppose this iberty-loving measure.
The bill is known as House Joint
Resolution 228 and was introduced in
the house of representatives. 1t has
been referred to the Committee on
Postoffice and Post Roads.
