Civil Liberties Union,
Clergy Hit Sentence
Of Draft 0bjector
Attorney General Urged
To Examine Prosecutors
Charge in Case
1y the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20.-The
American Civil Liberties Union and
4 score of Los Angeles County re-
ligious leaders today took hand
in the controversy surrounding the
two-year Sentence of Henry Welty
Kuhns for draft law violation after
he had been refused classification as
a conscientious objector.
The Southern California branch
of the Civil Liberties Union made
public letter to Attorney General
Biddle urging an investigation of
statement by United States Attorney
William Fleet Palmer in connection
with the case.
Mr.. Palmer announced the F.. B.
l. Is investigating circumstances of
a resolution adopted by the Consci-
entious Objection Committee of the
Southern California Arizona Con-
ference of the Methodist Church

riage of justice and pledging re-
sources of the church to effect
Kuhn's release
Bad Effect on Morale Seen.
Mr.. Palmer said such statements
would have bad effect generally
on public morale"
We have no objection to a thor
ough investigation by the F. B. l. or
any one else into acts of any one
constituting violations of the terms
of the Selective Service Act" the
Civil Liberties Union letter said.
MI. Palmer's announcement,
however, is calculated to intimidate
law-abiding and particularly reli-
giouS, leaders and organizations from
expressing themselves upon the ad-
ministration of the Slective Service
Act, and from the calling of the
attention of the public to miscar-
rlage Of justice in the enforcement
of that act as to conscientious OBJ
jectors

critics encourages us to believe that
you will take immediate, fortnight
and vigorous action in this matter

The physiology of this is also
quite understandable on the basis
of our knowledge of the mechan-
ism of the blood vessels. The
blood pressure is not a stable
thing: it changes as often and
for the same reasons as the pulse.
Blushing is merely a form OF
change in the pressure, made by
the muscular coats Of the blood
vessels. When you blush, the
vessels in your face are relaxed
and everybody acknowledges
that this is due to nervousness.
