Bloomington 3

The Bloomington Defendants, Ralph Levitt, Jim Bingham and Tom Morgan once again face possible prison terms because of their advocacy of socialist ideas at the University of Indiana. This most important civil liberties case in the United States was reopened Jan. 25, when the Indiana Supreme Court upheld the McCarthyite Indiana “Anti-Communism” act under which the students were originally indicted in 1963. In March, 1964, a local court in Bloomington, Ind., quashed the indictments on the grounds that they were unconstitutional. A nationwide committee to combat this state witch-hunt has been formed and has over 800 sponsors. Funds which are urgently needed may be sent to CABS, P.O. Box 213, Cooper Sta., New York, N.Y. 10003.
