Must the Rosenbergs Die?

ETHEL AND JULIUS ROSENBERG are sched-
= uled to die the week of January IL. They
were charged with conspiring to convey mill
tary secrets to the U.S.SR. when that country
was our World War II ally.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans believe
that serious questions concerning this case
remain unanswered Further, they feel that the
death penalty would be an expression of hys-
terra rather than an act of justice by great
country
Lest they die and future evidence prove, too
late, their innocence, we urge you most seri-
ousiy to consider: i.
Why the Unprecedented Sentence?
Never before in American history, either in
peace or war, has a civil court imposed the
death penalty for passing information even to
an enemy, let alone an ally. In recent cases
similar to that of the Rosenbergs = both at
home and abroad = no death penalties have
been imposed.
. Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose, found guilty
of treason during World War II-ten
years imprisonment
Four American Nazis, convicted of pass
ing vital aircraft information to Germany
in 1o41 (Mulzahn Case, Detroit) = FIVE
to fifteen years.
David Greenglass, confessed spy-fifteen
years.
Ruth Greenglass, confessed spy freed.
Harry Gold, confessed spy-thrty years.
DR.. Klaus Fuchs, British, who confessed
to transmitting atomic information
fourteen years imprisonment.
Canadian spy cases. Sentences as low as
two years in prison.
And recently a us. Military Court in
Korea charged Staff Sergeant Giuseppe Casco
with having conspired to give intelligence to
the enemy" If found guilty, the maximum
sentence is lite imprisonment.
Why the death sentence for the Rosenbergs?
Atmosphere or Evidence?
According to Dr. Roland H. Bainton of Yale
Divinity School, II can see no other explana-
ton than wave of public hysteria.
Arthur Garfield Hays, famous American
lawyer, says, It is the dannable death penalty
that causes the uneasiness."
The Churchman protestant Episcopal
publication) in Nov. l, 1852 editorial, char
acterized the sentence of the Rosenbergs as
both excessive and cruel" pointing out that
"only the Rosenbergs who appear by any rea-
sonable standards to have been small fry
alongside such brilliant physicists as >. Fuchs.
received the death sentence"
Whof Proof OF Guilt?
The case against the Rosenbergs hinged on
the testimony Of David and Ruth Greenglass.
The US. Court of Appeals declared that, with
out this testimony "the conviction could not
stand" Yet this testimony was not corrobo-
rated by single other witness,

lawyer and Queens Counsel, D. N. Prtt,

reasons Tor mlStruStlng the evidence OF David
Greenglass. To begin with, he had pleaded
guilty to the conspiracy for which the Rosen-
bergs were being tried, and had not yet been
brought up for sentence; thus he might hope
and he expressly said he did hope, to obtain
some advantage for himself as result of giving
evidence against the Rosenberes.
1T is my considered professional opinion
that conviction based upon such evidence
from such sources cannot be regarded as reli-
able and should not be sustained"
David Greenglass was sentenced to fifteen
years. His wife Ruth, who also confessed, was
never brought to trial.
Truly David Greenglass, as Mr.. Pritt sad
had terrible incentive for lying!
What About the Atom Bomb "Seerets"7
Of the evidence of Greenglass on the atom
bomb secrets" Life Magazines science editor
wrote: "Greengass' imploson bomb appears
illogical, if not downright unworkable."
John Desmond Bernal, Professor of Physics
at the University of London, states: I'm my
opinion as a scientist with special knowledge
of the physics of explosives, the exhibits do not
involve the use of new and original principle,
and ;. would not be of advantage to foreign
nation"
In support of his opinions, Prof Bernal cites
six different books or publications, dating back
to 1888, all dealing with the supposed new
principle"i
Recently affidavits were submitted to US.
Court by three world famous scientists
Prof. Jacques S. Hadamard member of
the American Academy of Sciences the
French Academy of Sciences, Honorary

in nuclear physics
. James Gerald Crowther lecturer at Har.
ward University, author of sixteen scien.
tiflc books wartime director of the Sci.
entifc Department Of the British Council.
All three affdavits pointed to the Green.
glass testimony about the exhibits as bein6
"in1plausible" and "inconcevable"
Yet the supposed value Of the alleged secret
information" which Greenglass claimed he
gave the Rosenbergs was the basis for tho
death penalty!
An Appeal to Reason
In the words of Waldo Frank noted author,
PERSONALLY, am in no position to question the
verdict against the Rosenberes But 50 many
worthy men and women throughout the world,
who have studied the testimony, express grave
doubts; so much irrelevant emotion has been
allowed to pern1eafe the case and the trial, that
it is surely the act of wisdom and of justice in
a great nation not irrevocably to destroy the
f.,<. II
wrong !. !. For the sake OF our good name and
of human love, the death sentence should Be
con7n1ufed."

"Sure. EIlery grinned. But then
the grin faded. and his fork clat-

His father stared. The Burke
case? What about the Burke case?"

end of it.
But it was not, and it broke out
again in the oldest way.

tor Queen came home bemoaning
the deterioration of the new gen.
Grafton of police officers. They had
all reverted to childhood, the
Inspector snorted at dinner, spend

Crime puzzles. They make 'em

Chief Inspector doing it! Come to
think of it, the Inspector chuck
led, lone he tossed at me today is
pretty darned clever, good detec-
tive story situation: Rich. man
with three no-good heirs who need
money bad. He's bumped off; one
of the three did it, and each claims
an alibi for the time of the murder.
One suspect says he was in the
Metropolitan Museum looking at
some Eighteenth Century Ameri-
can paintings. The second says he
was dialing his bookie's private
phone number, Aqueduct 4-2320,
placing a horse bet. The third says
he was in a Flatbush bar talking to
a French sailor named Jacques du
Evening star., 1953-09-13
Editors Query: HOsU did ELIery
knOsu? Avad scIsO killed Burke?

Take your crime puzzle" said
Ellery. The Metropolitan Mus
cum alibi and the Flatbush bar
alibi might or might not have been
false and only an investigation
would tell - but the phone-call-
to-the-bookie alibi needs no inves-
tigation. IT'S false on the face of it.
No one can dial an exchange like
Aqueduct, which starts with the
letters 40, because every phone
dial in the United States has one
letter of the alphabet missing. II
has no letter @. And that told me
what we'd missed in the Burke
setup.
Dad" Ellery went on, that
note tn Lester Bmrke'S handwriting
wGs q forgery. If it was a forgery.
Burke didn't write it. If Burke
didn't write it, he didn't commit
suicide - he was murdered. The
crook knocked Burke out, all right,
and placed the unconscious man
carefully in the armchair; then he
shot him with his own gun, put
Burke's fingerprints on the gun
and forged suicide note. left the
note on the desk - the kind of
note Burke might have written,
with its Shakesperian quotation
pocketed the money and letters,
and joined his alibi-ing pals.
''RUT the fact that the note was
a forgery identifies the killer. Ack-
ley is a jewel thief and society i'm

Benson is a confidence man - but
he's something else. too. One of his
aliases is Phil the Penman "a tag

Eyes, but wait, watt" protested
Inspector Queen. But how do you
knOV the suicide note was faked?"
Benson pulled a boner. Do you
remember how he spelled the word
honor - spelled it twice in the
quotation?"
Honor" The Inspector was
frowning. Honor. What's
wrong with that, Ellery?"
Burke was an Englishman,
Dad. Had he written that quota
ton, he'd have spelled honor the
way Shakespeare spelled it, the
way all Englishmen spell it to this
day - honour. 1t had no letter

A QUESTION OF HONOR

Continued from page thtrty-four
I'VE - he retired at two am. Will
you please get out!'
AFTER you, your lordship," said
the Inspector; and the jewel thief
shrugged and went along.
Ellery followed in troubled ST.
lence.
He was not to break that silence
for a long time, for the three alibis
remained mistaken, and Ackley,
Chase, and Benson had to be re-
leased for lack of evidence.
"One of those alibis is rigged"
yelped the Inspector. But which
one?"
The letters and the money failed
to turn up. Inspector Queen ragged
and fumed, but the case had to be
written off. Ellery fumed. too, but
for other reasons. He felt some
thing about the circumstances of
Burke's death was wrong. He felt
it in his bones, but what it was
he simply couldn't diagnose. And
Inspector Burke's body and effects
were shipped back to England,
and the cables from London sud-
