ing before too long A prize of 500

Not Soon lo49oAe~

The names OF Julius and Ethel Rosenberg will be
forgotten but their deeds which caused them be sentenced
atom spies will not be erased for many years.
We live in a county of $4,000 individuals. We have
many churches here and privileged to worship God
conscences dictate We free to to other
choose for visit to live there to spend six days, six
months years there We engage in work and provide
for families We select the type of work employ
ment We can spend the time away from work involved in
our pleasures and there is fear that secret
police will appear your door before the night is
We say what think, with the exception of TO-
menting and the Constitution will protect from
undue harm When return to homes at night we are
assured of privacy from tyrants
We able to property and protect it from en-
croachment by others We shopping today and pur
chase whatever desire, if have the credit
We are able to enjoy life and freedom.
The Rosenbergs found guilty of transmitting
atomic secrets to another power that would like to destroy
these things we have country suppreses them
under its subiecon That country kills without trial
individual desires without just These two traitors
would have revealed the power that could have wiped every
person in this county from the face of the EARTH and people
from hundreds of other counties like ours.
BENJAMIN Franklin explained the kind OF govern
men that had been created the Constitutional convention
of 1887 You have repubcf you can keep it, Thus far

have eternal vigilance against persons like the Rosenbergs
We haven't yet person in this county they
