Responsibility for their safety is thenceforth up to Morgan | | county officials | Tension More Dangerous Now Than Last Spring At the time of the Scottsboro trial | this spring when the tension was| | nowhere near as dangsrous, Sheriff Hawkins used twelve deputies and thres cars to transfer the prisoners. In Decatur they were met by a | troop of some 35 soldiers which im-| | mediately surrounded the boys. When the boys were taken back to Bir- mingham for safe-keeping the Na- tional Guard acted as an escort. But with Judge Callahan’s state- ment that there will be no soldiers to guard the boys or their attorneys and with Sheriff Hawkins duty fin- ished when he gets a receipt for them, the job of bringing them back to Birmingham if they are to be brought back to Birmingham for safekeeping after they are arraigned is left in the hands of Morgan coun- ty deputies. These deputies are resi- dents of a county which has been loud in its announced purpose of finishing this case by means of a thirty-cent rope, whether Morgan County deputies will shoot into a lynch mob of Morgan County whites is considered very doubtful here. Sheriff Hawkins plans to lead his deputies personally in transporting the Scottsboro boys to Decatur, what roads he will use or how many cars Se ee ore | Hawkins said that when an insur- rection or riot threatens the sheriff | has the legal power to call out the National Guard himself. This méans that in the event of a mob movement it would fall upon Sheriff Davis to summon the soldiers, but in all cases where the sheriff calls the National Guard he is under the court's orders, and in this particular case the court has very specifically sald that it saw no reason to have soldiers present.

Total ...ccccsssoceccseees B18.85 nt and trial,! this coming arraignme: which is causing grave ar orehension, was further complicated by another statement from Judge Callahan} which, though trifling in itself, holds far-reaching significance. Judge Callahan refused to discuss anything even remotely connected with the case and would permit him- self to be quoted in only one sen- tence, Press men will be allowed in court, but no special arrangements such as press tables within the bars (the area arating the trial spree from the ctators’ seats) will be made for hen. At the last trial press tables were set up for white newspaper corres- pondents back of the prosecution table, two Negro correspondents were placed on the other side of the room near the section reserved for Negro ~pectators. Reporters Sense Fear of Shooting in Court During the entire trial newspaper nen naturally were as much at home in the barred area as the attorneys. Frequently speaking to them to ask explanations of mooted points, there was plenty of space, so the question of room cannot be in Judge Calla- han’s mind, for there was plenty of yoom when Judge Horton presided. The fact that this decision makes it inconvenient for reporters to take notes or write a running story of the trial and thus by discouraging them, thereby curtain the publicity about ‘he trial cannot have suggested this decision, because once & r has been assigned, he will cover it wheth- er he sits among the audience or at a convenient press table, In all courts where a large number of news- papermen is expected, arrangements are made to facilitate their work. Judges have been known to bar the press during certain portions of a trial which necessitated evidence be- ing heard in chambers, but Judge Callahan apparently does not have the slightest intention of barring the press from hte trial. He just does not want newspaper men in the space where the actual trial is being held. See Boys and Attorneys Isolated for Targets Newspapermen discussing this deci- sion found in it s very grave inter- pretation in view of the seeming set- up, which makes it possible for mob action and the open threats against the lives of the Scottsboro boys and the I. L. D. lawyers, the situation is explosive. Judge Callahan, living in Decatur, cannot possibly avoid knowing just how serious it is. An attempt to kill the Scottsboro boys and the attorneys might be made even in open court, since there will be no soldiers there for protection. ‘The only conclusion the newspaper men could come to, considering all angles, is that Judge Callahan made his decision to keep the press from within the barred enclosure because he himself fears that shooting might start in court and does not want re- porters where they might be in the way of spraying bullets, And having reached that conclu- ston, the newspaper men cannot un- derstand Judge Callahan's decision not to call soldiers to protect the boys, Leibowitz and Brodsky, OWNS RAZOR; JAILED DETROIT.—Because he carried a razor, Modie Gray, a Negro, was sen- tenced from two to five years in prison, Gray pleaded that he was moving and that the razor was his only “personal effects,” but the court did not believe him ‘Expect Declaration Soon In Washington (Continued from Page 1) the difficulties up to now have been real ones. New speculations of the nature of the difficulties arcse as all official sources remained “officially” & vacuum to the press. Among these it seemed to be agreed that debts and claims probably are the chief ob- stacles to be overcome. It was re- ported by one American who claims to have authentic information that Roosevelt has proposed a “solution” in the form of a suggestion that an American corporation similar to Am- torg be formed to handle exports to Russia and pay off the sums claimed by the United States without the So- viet Government necessarily recog- nizing the existence of the claims. According to this theory, the Presi- dent has implied that the American corporation might add to the prices of goods amounts which would be pooled and applied to the debts and claims without any official transac- tions taking place between the two governments. At this the Rurs!ans naturally balked, it was said, but the fantastic “solution” remains as a suggestion. This informant added that the Americans are insisting that debts and claims be considered alto~ gether, while the Russians maintain they are distinct, separate matters.

Walter White, who has consistently tried to knife the Scottsboro defense, is to be the main speaker. Together with the local leaders of the N.A.A.C.P., White has successfully exerted pressure on | many Negro churches to bar repre- sentatives of the Arrangement Com- mittee for the Public Inquiry and} Anti-Lynching Conference. ne eA Langston Hughes Wires NEW YORK.—The following tele- gram, calling for mass suppo:t for the Public Inquiry and Anti-Lynch- ing Conference to be held in Balti- more, Nov. 18 and 19, was received yesterday, from Langston Hughes, President of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, who is at present in San Francisco, Calif. “The fact that George Armwood is not the first Negro worker lynched this year, but the thirty-fourth, should make the Baltimore Anti- Lynching Conference and Public In- jquiry a mass roar of judgment and jof anger against all sheriffs, judges, attorney generals and public officials who join in mob lynching or legal lynching of workers. | “Demand the rivht of Negroes to bear arms in self-defense in the lynch districts, since state and fed- eral forces do not protect them! “Demand federal investigation of the Armwood lynching!

I’m for your tournament, your weightlifters, Pat Cush and your heavyweights, 180 and 205, respectively. I’m also more familiar with the premises around New York and vicinity. The labor sports clubs here have the wrestlers land the weight-lifters but no fight- lers of that calibre. And the regular local amateur club fighters charge too much.
