Campaign to Get
Pardon for Socialist
Workers Now On

George Novack, national secre-
tary of the Civil Rights Defense
committee, will speak on "The Min
neapolis Case: The Test of Free
Speech" at 500 p. M, April IL, at
Hotel Andrews, the Brunswick
room.
Mr.. Novack is making a three
months, nationwide speaking tour
as part of the CRDC's campaign
to get presidential pardon for the
18 Minneapolis labor leaders and
liberals, members of the Socialist
Workers party, who were convicted
in 1941 for violation of the Smith
act of 1910. The Smith act has
been labelled a violation of the
American constitutions first
amendment" which guarantees
freedom of speech, by the Nation
and New Republic magazines, the
American Civil Liberties union and
others.
Professor Joseph w. Beach,
chairman of the English depart
ment at the University of Mime
sofa, will preside at Mr.. Novack's
talk, which is being sponsored by
the local members of the CRDC and
the Twin City branch of the Work
ers' Defense league.
For more than fifteen years, Mr..
Novack has been prominent in de-
tense of civil liberties and labor's
rights. He assisted in forming the
first committees for aiding the
Scottsboro defendants, and in 1882
assisted the Harlan county, Ken
lucky, coal miners. In July, 1941,
together with John Dos Passos,
Carlo Tresca, James T. Farrell and
others, Mr.. Novack was instru-
mental in organizing the CRDC.
Angelo Herndon, editor of the
Peoples Advocate, recently wrote
President Roosevelt, urging that he
pardon the 10 prisoners. Mr.. Hern-
don said, "These defendants e.
are being prosecuted for the
mere exercise of freedom of speech
as provided for in the federal con-
stitution." (Also for supporting the
doctrine of racial equality.)
A few weeks ago, George Schuy-
Ter, columnist for the Pittsburgh
Courier, wrote that "free speech
has taken a bearing in the case of
the 10 defendants in the Mime
apolis trial, who are now in federal
prison for expressing their opin-

Crump Threatens
to Punish Those
Randolph Helpers

Memphis, Tenn.-In a highly in

Philip Randolph, Negro leader who
dared to speak here Friday night, in
defiance of his wishes, Boss E. H.
Crump threatened dire reprisals for
anyone who aided this effort.
After blasting Randolph, Crump
said to representatives of the press,
eff the Negroes of this community
or any whites insist on these i'm

tired, they might as well make up
their minds to abide by the conse-
quences and the town will be better

mission to hold that meeting in his
church."
The preacher to whom Crump
specifically referred is Rev. G. A.
Long, pastor of the First Baptist
church on Beale street.
Though there are over two hun
bred colored churches here, Rev
Long is the only pastor who defied
the Crump edict against Randolph
and consented to let him speak in
his church.
While Randolph spoke on invita-

G. B.: 1 am badly in need OF
help. 1 am a married man and
really love my home, do everything
l can to make it happy, yet all ]
do don't seem like I get the atten-
ton from my wife that I should
1t worries me quite a bit. 1 have
never before witnessed a woman
who has a good husband and don't
seem to want to give him any at
tention but when someone is around
the way she shows off one would
say her husband gets plenty of
attention but l know better. But
the way she acts will make a per-
son think things. Advise me what
to do?
Ans: When company comes
around you play the part of a jolly,
devoted husband and naturally your
wife responds. After the company
leaves, you climb back in your shell
and become glum and mOrOse, fore
ing your wife to do likewise. My
friend, you are cheating yourself
out of the most beautiful and salts
factory part of your married life.
The quiet intimate hours husband
and wife spend in cOngenial COM
partnership are the ties which bind
a couple together. Love is not a
spigOt which can be turned off and
on at will it has to flow in a
steady stream continuously, with
or without an audience. If you
want your wife to be a sweetheart,
take the lead and be an aggressive
lover.
A. c. W.: received my Reading
1 sent for last month and am well
pleased. Ny mother has a problem
she would like answered in the free
column. She has a nephew out in
California and he wants to send for
her and she doesn't know if she will
be able to get along with his wife.
They send her money, always 500
at time and would it be all right
for her to go out there with them
for awhile?.
Ans: Encourage your mother to
make the trip. The wife of her
nephew must be a very broadmind-
ed and lOvable girl to approve of
her husband sending generous
amounts of money to an aunt. If
the feeling was not mutual she
would not have been invited. If she
goes it should be with the resolu-
ton in mind to accept the new
niece graciOusly and with love, Iiy-
ing up to the idealistic picture
which her nephew has painted of
her.
d. R.: I am 16 and will finish
school this year. After 1 finish I
want to go away and work but nv
parents want me to stay home. They
won't let me go anywhere such as
parties and dances and to see nv
soldier friends. They want me to
stay at home and if go off can

live a normal, well-rOunded life but
your education is foremost in their
minds at this time. When you grad
uate this spring they will be more
liberal in planning your social life.
For your parents to give their con-
sent to unbridled freedom would
seriously interfere with your COL
lege career. Give up the idea of
going away from home to work.
M. A. S.: l received the Guide
and it is really wonderful. I
wouldn't take four times the price
that I paid for it because it gives
me so much courage and puts new
things on my mind. I didn't know
that there was so much about my
own self that I really didn't under
stand and know. l study it almost
daily as get so much comfort
from reading it. I hope that can
get help and a Guide every year
from the Able Wallace Service.
Thanks lots and lots. Signed
M. A. S.
x. x: Please tell me what to do
in my case. My mother is about
the meanest person on earth. She
is insisting that 1 marry a boy
who is absolutely no good but she
can't see that. My brother Joined
the service and instead of being
proud of him, she raised the dickens
and acted a fool, cursed and car
ried on terrible. He joined the
church and because she acted so
bad, my sister and 1 didn't go to
church along with him and think
it was real ugly for none of US to
have gone with him. Should I
leave home and go heck knows
where or must 1 stay here and go
crazy?
Ans: With your strength of
character and determination you
can meet and conquer any crisis.
You are pillar of strength to your
brothers and sisters and your place
is there beside them. Ill health is
the cause of your mother being in
her present frame of mind and she
should not be condemned too Sc
verely. Talk to your brothers and
sisters and ask their cooperation in
shielding your mother from the
worries and confusion of the home
and she may be able to overcome
this weakness. Encourage your
mother to accept medical attention.
Her present attitude shows a sick
mind and you children must be will
ing to help her regain her health.
