pLEMENCY —
ROSENBERES

Millions of decent citizens in

_ all countries of the world felt

a weight lifted from their hearts
on Wednesday this week when
the wires from Washington flash-
ed the welcome news that) Su-
preme Court Justice Douglas had
granted a stay of execution to
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg be-
cause of his “serious doubt” of
the legality of their death sen-
tence.

And in the minds of these mil-
lions of decent citizens, there is
a feeling of certainty that their
actions opposing the barbarous
judicial verdict of electrocution
—expressed in picket line vigils
before U.S. embassies in many
countries, in wires and in letters
to President Eisenhower urging
executive clemency for the young
American victims of the cold war
—had played a major role in
gaining this new reprieve for the
Rosenbergs.

ALD DEMANDS

@ A_ round-the-clock Clemency
Vigil before the U.S. consulate
in Vancouver has been stead-
ily growing in numbers since
it began Tuesday this week,
when the above picture was
taken. The Vigil was organ-
ized by the local Save the Ro-
senbergs Committee,

Clemency!

World - wide protests
against the execution of the
Rosenbergs included these:

@ Uruguayan Chamber
of Deputies, with one dis-

senting voice, passed a re- -

solution urging President
Eisenhower to grant clem-
ency.

@® Poland offered asyl-
um to the Rosenbergs; the
U.S. State Department hys-
terically denounced the of-
fer as “an impertinence.”

@ Edouard Heriot, pres-
ident of the French Nation-
al Assembly, cabled Eisen-
hower asking “for reasons
of humanity the Rosen-
bergs be reprieved.”

@ Britain’s biggest un-
ion — the Transport and
General Workers’ Union —
appealed for clemency. The
National Union of Railway-
men joined with the trans-
port union to speak for
1,700,00 British workers.

@ Two French cardin-
als — Cardinal Archbishop
Gerlier of Lyons and Car-
dinal Feltin, Archbishop of
Paris—added their voices.
