the Yashington State House of Representatives joined ina similar appeal to the
President.

Francisco Chapter of the National Lawyers' Guild.

Guild. The Honorable Edward P. Murphy, Judge of the San Francisco Superior Court,
was president of the chapter when Brown served as a vice president in 195. Serving
as vice-president with him was Walter Gordon, now chairman of the California State
Adult Authority (an appointee of Governor Warren). Many other prominent California
attorneys likewise held memberships in its State chapters, including such leaders
of the legal fraternity as Philip H. Angell, of San Francisco, former President of
