AFTER LONG hInESS
NEW YORK, June 30—(CN-
A) Calling for observance of a
National Scottsboro ^gek bet
ween July 1 and July 6, the
Scottsboi'o Defense Committee
this week anounced a natioral
I campaign in behalf of the nine
Scottsboro boys imprisoned for
Scottfl)oro boys imprisoned for
the last six years in Alabama,
and in protest against Haywood
Patterson’s ”t5-yeor sentence, re
cently confirmed by the Alabama
Supffeme court. '
Tile date of the niew trials was
recently set for July 6 in Deca
tur, Ala., by Circuit
William (Speed) W.,^feallali-jn
who presided over previous
boys. "*"
“Keeping them in jail, in the
shadow of thg electric chaiir, for
six years without trial has clear
ly been the deliberate aim of cer.
tain elements in the state, With
it, undoubtly went the hope that
the case, removed from the eye
of the public would gradually be
forgotten by the jnillions of peo
ple throughout the world who
have voiced their support of
thcfip' Negro boys.
“The Scottsboro Committee
knows that these millidiis do not
forget so easily. Andi . confideni
a prompt respome, we n«w

“The conviction and sentenc^o
to 7.5 years of Haywood Patter
son was upheld by the Supreme
Court of, the State of Alabama
with record speed, which offers
sharp contrast to the delay in
calling the remaining Scottsboro
triala," the Rev. Allen Knight
Chalmers, chairman of the com
mittee, pointed out.. “The.jnotivj
for this delay must be clear to
I all right-thinking people who have
long since been wholly conyin-
Iced of the innocenpe of these
given in the past.
The Committee's program cen
ters around the seting, aside of a
National Scottsboro Week' from
July 6. During this- period, mas^
meetings, church services, parad
es, and similar observances will
