"The committee had declared earlier, Lee said,
that it 'wes never represented! by Oswald, ‘whether guilty
or innocent.!
"He said:
“tmhe Fair Pley for Cuba Committee has alweys
peacefully and legally sought only that measure of good
which would achieve the body and spirit of peace and
friendship besween peoples. Always we have shunned and
opposed aggression élthough we have often been victims
of violence as we tried to express oursélves.'!
"thave our people so abandoned their humanity
that this year of shocking deaths has not awakened an
urgent need to end our terrible pursuit of violence and
vengerce?' asked Lee. ‘Have we 89 iittle conscience that
the brutal slaying of Medgar Evers, the horrible destruc-
tion of the Birmingham cnildren, the senseless assassination
of the President followed by a sudden murder of an accused
can only be concluded in calumny and vindictive political
persecution for who lnows what motive?
"tWe appeal today that we not become another
victim in the terrible wilderness of hatred and political
4ntrigue which besets a cold war world so frighteningly
near destruction. !"
‘the Worker" is an east coast Communist
newspaper.
