On March (25 Pre Jeépnonsey Thomas Hoadley announced at a press confer— ence that he intended to appeal against the ruling made by Judge Nat. Hill that the Indiana Communism ict of 1951 was unconstitutional. It was because of this ruling that the indictment against 3 members of the Young Socialist Alliance was dismissed (see Week number 14 for details). It will be several months at least before a date for arguments before a state court will even bo set. That date may not be before 1965.
Hoadley's appeal represents a continuing threat to academic freedom, The victory at the original trial has inspired a determination to do away with the witech—hunting Act altogether, Philip Appleman, Professor of English at Indiana University, who is a sponsor of the Committee to Aid the Bloomington Students, has issued a statement emphasising the need to cortinue the struggle. The Committee itself is continuing its activities whilst there is a threat that Judge Hill's ruling will be overturned. The committee is still raising funds to wipe out the legal debt of some $3,000 incurred by the case. Donations should be sent to CABS, Box 213, Cooper Station, New York, N.Y., U.SeAe Bd. Notez A resolution condemning the prosecution of the young social~ ists was passed at the Annual Conference of the Young Socialists at Brighton. This was passed before information about Judge Hill's ruling was available. There is also a resolution on the question at the NALSO conference being held this week. This will probably be amended to take into account the new situation.
