Fother to Rebuild
Bombed Home
BY the Associaied Press

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, May a.
Negro teacher. who lodged sni-
pers' bullets on Saipan, wrote his
father to rebuild his dynamited
Birmingham home-"if you have
not lost your courage"
The father. DR.. J. A. Boykin, a
56-year-old dentist, said yesterday
he plans to have his house COM
pleted on the spot where it was
wrecked by a blast April 13.
The house Is across a street
from three white residences. It's
interior was damaged by an ex-
plosion before he could move
into it.
Dr. Boykin's almost completed
$11 900 residence-o -office was the
last of six Negro houses in border
line areas to be bombed in the
past IA months. None of the
bombings has been solved. State,
county and city officers are con-
tinuing investigations.
Tried to Make Things Safe.
The dentist received a letter
from his son, Joel S. Boykin. q
teacher at Union Springs. Ala,
which said in part:
Il served in Saipan during the
war, risking sniping from all
angles. trying to help make things
comfortable and safe for the folks
back home, and perhaps for those
who were implicated in doing us
damage, or on the other hand
felt themselves too good to live
near me.
II have looked forward and sac
riflced too much. If I stood 1t at
Saipan, I surely would be less a
soldier to shirk my duty at home
especially when all local require
mentS have been satisfied"
DR.. Boykin said in a statement
the house which was bombed was
the answer to the dream of my
wife and myself" and Il have de-
cided to again make the sacrifice
whatever 1t may cost me-"
Believes Harmony Possible.
Il still believe" he added, IF
enough of the square thinking
whites and blacks will stick to-
gether and decide. we are going to
make our home place the most
harmonious community of our
section.
1--WE can do so. in spite Of all
outside and inside influence to
the contrary"
The dentist said Detective Capt.
Charles L. Pierce had promised
"all the protection the depart
ment can reasonably afford"
DR.. Boykin said a paved street
between his home, on the corner
of a Negro block, and the white
residences affords "our usual pat
tern Of separation or segrega-
ton"

New Delay in Serving
Contempt Sentences
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, May 2.-Five law
yers, sentenced to jail for con-
tempt of court during the Com
munist conspiracy trial last year,
have won a new delay in serving
their terms.
They were to have begun serving
their sentences today.
The United States Circuit Court
of Appeals granted the stay yes
terday pending decision on mo-
ton made by the five lawyers and
by Eugene Dennis. defendant,
who served as his own counsel.
The six men moved for a stay
of their contempt sentences until
Is days after the Supreme Court
has ruled on the convictions and
prison sentences of II Communist
leaders on conspiracy charges.
Fined $4,000.
Dennis and 10 co-defendants
were convicted in Federal Court
last fall on charges of conspiracy
to advocate violent overthrow OF
the Government. They were fined
$4,000 each in addition to prison
sentences-five years for 10 OF
them and three years for one.
Paul L. Ross, counsel for the
six men sentenced for contempt
said he would ask the appeals
court for a rehearing today on its
previous decision upholding the
contempt sentences. If the re-
hearing is not granted. Mr.. Ross
said. he will appeal to the Su-
preme Court.
Mr.. Ross argued that the law
yers should remain at liberty SO
they could prepare their clients
cases before the appeals court and
the Supreme Court, and also their
own cases. The conspiracy cases
Of the II Communist leaders are
scheduled for argument in the
appeals court on June IL.
Prosecution Opposes Delay.
The five lawyers involved are
Harry Sacher and Richard Glad
stein, sentenced to six months;
A. j. Isserman and George w
Crockett. jr.. four months each
and Louis F. McCabe, 80 days
Dennis drew six months.
Government attorneys opposed
delay in the contempt sentences
on the ground the application
was premature and designed to
cause prolonged and unneces-
sary stay"
In another court move, the IL
Communist leaders filed with the
appeals court a lengthy brief in
support of their move to have the
conspiracy convictions reversed.
The brief attacked the consti-
tutionality of the Smith act, un-
der which the IL men were tried.
The brief also cited many other
issues. A supplemental brief at
