LL. D. Attocneys Arrive in Birmingham Despite this extreme.y grave indif- | | ference to provide sufticient protec- | tion and in view of the intense iynch sentiment seething in Decatur, Sam- \uel Leibowitz and Joseph Brodsky arrived in Birmingham by plane late| |this evening ready to go into court| jin Decatur Monday morning. Imme- | diately upon their arrival they went into conference with David Schrift- man, LL.D, attorney whe has been | here during the past month. General | George W. Chamlee, Southern coun- sel from Chattanooga, is expected to- morrow to join in the conferences and lay plans for the coming arraign- ment and trial. | Whether Leibowitz will remain in Birmingham until the 27th when the actual trial starts or return to New York and come down again has not yet been determined. To Demand Miller Afford Protection Due to Judge W. W. Callahan's announcement that he does not in- tend to have soldiers in and around the courthouse and jail during the} Davis’ statement that there probably | will not be more than a dozen or so | deputies it is believed that I. L. D. | counsel will seek an audience with | Governor Miller in Montgomery to- morrow or Sunday to demand that | proper steps be taken to protect the | defendants and themselves since the | threats against the lives of the counsel have been more open than against the | defendants, | At the last trial not only did Sheriff | Davis have all available deputies on | hand but there were some 35 soldiers {heavily armed always around the | courtroom and jail. Even at that, two |mob movements started which were stopped with difficulty. And at that | time the sentiment was nowhere near as bitter as it is now. Simultaneously many leading citi- \zens of Alabama, fearful that the |seeming set-up may result in a | Shocking massacre are urging the | Attorney General Judge Callahan jand the governor to see to it that proper protection is afforded both the defendants and their attorneys. “State Has Perfect Set-up for Slaugther” In @ last minut effort to forestall |the imminent danger David Schrift- }man left this morning for Decatur to confer with Judge Callahan on the question of protection though he had [little hope that the presiding judge} | would change his mind, | “It seems that the State has a perfect set-up for a slaughter,” Schriftman said before he left. Sheriff “Bud Davis, during. the |telephone conversation in which he said he was taking no special pre- cautions to protect the defendants or their attorneys said that he had not even asked the National Guardsmen stationed at Haritselle, some 13 miles | away, to be in readiness for a call. |“Of course they're always there,” he | explained, “but I am under orders from the court and I have received no orders to ask them to be in readiness. | The whole matter of protection is in| }the hands of Attorney General | Knight,” he repeated. Judge Bars Tab‘es for Press “Will the Scottsboro boys be kept in jail in Decatur betwen the time they are arraigned on Monday morn- | |ing and the time they go to trial a/ | Week later or will they be returned to | sheriff said. On the question of news- |Papermen not being allowed press tables within the trial area space | Sheriff Davis said: | “I can’t put up press tables if the| judge won't let me. He's running the | court.” the sheriff was asked what | | the sentiment was in Decatur. “Oh, | | there's no sentiment against the Ne~ | groes,” he said genialy, “How aobut Leibowitz and Brodsky,” he was asked. | “Oh, I don’t know. I don’t think there’s any sentiment against Lei- | bowitz here. No, I don’t think so. I haven’t found any.” | Sheriff Vague on Protection | | “You don’t think that five deputies | | you have around the Decatur jail will | be sufficient to protect the Negroes in the event of trouble do you?” “There may be other deputies from another county,” the sheriff explained. “Maybe there'll be a total of twelve or fif- teen?” That Judge Callahan planed to ask Sheriff Hawkins of Jefferson County to remain with the prisoners and co- |operate with Sheriff Davis ‘has been rumored for several days. ‘Sheriff Hawkins himself says that he has not yet received orders to transport the | boys to Decatur nor whether he would | stay with them or return to Birming- jham. The fact that Sheriff Davis is of the opinion that “deputies from another county may be asked to stay” | with him is but one more link in the chain tending to show that the whole | thing was carefully planned out and the orders that will be issued probably | agreed upon long in advance other- | wise how did the rumor about Sheriff | Hawkins being asked to stay with Sheriff Davis get out--and those | Persons who had the rumor were influential Alabama citizens with ex- | cellent sources of information. Decatur Hourly Growing More Tense | During the pact thzco days the at- torney general has been in Decatur conferring and laying plans for the waignment and trial, Reports from Decatur show that the town is hourly growing more tense as Monday mornings draws nearer though there is a possibi‘ity that nothing may happen at the time of the arraignment lest it look too much like the state deliberately led the defendenas and their at- torneys into a trap to be slaught- ered. Leibowitz sems to be hated in Decatur right now with a greater intensity than they hate the Scotts- boro boys and the L L, D. no one can foretell what will happen Mon- day morning when Leibowitz walks into court.

Total $19.85 Cut 187,000 Off Chicago Relief in Forced Labor Plan (Continued from Page 1) state that « oes not transfer people Hopkins said, “If any state wants to continue on a relief basis, there will be no civil] works there.” This is a clear ad- mission that the purpose of the Roosevelt forced labor program is to take four million off of relief rolls. These will be dropped from both relief and public works rolls, if Roosevelt’s program goes through. Admission that the public works program of the N.R.A. which Roosevelt said would put six mil- lion unemployed back to work, is a flat failure, was made in the dis- cussions centering around Roose- velt’s forced labor program. Ad- ministrator Ickes told the local re- 580 million dollars left of the pub- lic works fund of three billion, three. hundred million dollars set aside by the N.R.A. Of this, 238 million was given’ to the navy, 135 million to the railroads, which went mostly for equipment and $21 mil-| lion for the militarized conservation camps for the youth, who receive $1aday, pay. The money has been spent for war projects and for bankers and employers, and little is left for the unemployed. Unem- ployment increased under the pub-| lie works program of the N.R.A., which Roosevelt said would end un- employment. . e:18 | Mayors Would Give Smaller Wages | NEW YORK.—At a conference | of mayors and relief ofieials of New| York state yesterday, a resolution was passed calling on Roosevelt to lower the minimum wages of fifty cents an hour for part time work- ers on Roosevelt's forced labor pro- jects. The resolution was proposed by Mayor Allen, the general elec- trie company’s mayor of Schenec-| tady. The resolution was proposed | as a means of using low forced labor wages to reduce the wages of | workers generally, In a banquet at the Hotel Astor, the ci ding millionaires, such as George Baker, leading politicians, headed by Al Smith, and A. F. of Matthew Woll, mobilized relief can- yassers to extract four million dol- lars from the workers for unem- ployment relief. The keynote of the banquet, called by the “Citizens Family Welfare Committee,” was sounded by the multi-millionaire, Mrs. Dwight Morrow, who said, “Ring every door bell, and pray on every door step.” The purpose is to force the workers to give unem- ployment relig’ funds, in order to save the pocketbooks of the em- ployers. Many, of the biggest em- ployers we! resent, and urged the relief canvassers not to miss any workers. to ask for the Heywood Patterson case first, Patterson “was tried this sprihg, convicted, seritencéd to death end. then the conviction set aside by | Judge Horton who had presided over | the trial. So far as can be learned | the State has little or no additional | evidence bestdes what it introduced | at the spring trial and which Judge Morton found insufficient to sustain a conviction. The state: does, how- ever, intend to produce Orville Gilley who is supposed to have been in the now famous gondola car where the alleged “rape” upon Virginia Price and Ruby Bates occurred. -Where Orville Gilley is now is a ae kept secret, To Russia?
