Dr. Adler Joins
National Sobell
Defense Efforts
Several -rabbis are among the
noted Americans sponsoring a
national gathering to be held in
Washington, Nov. 19-21, to cli-
max appeals to the President to
free Morton Sobell from prison.
A banquet will be held at
Hotel Shoreham, Washington,
Nov. 19, to urge a commutation
of sentence for Sobell, now in
the 11th year of a 30-year sen-
tence on the charge of "conspir-
acy to commit espionage." Tried
together with the Rosenbergs in
1951, Sobell has maintained his
innocence.
Participants in the Washington
events have expressed diverse
views on the case, but agree that
the sentence was too severe and
should now be reduced to time
served. They are requesting a
Presidential commutation this
year. An appeal to the President
by more than 1,000 rabbis and
ministers is scheduled to be pre-
sented.
The Sobell Freedom Banquet
will be addressed by Rabbi Jacob
J. Weinstein of the KAM Temple
in Chicago, national chairman of
the Committee for Labor Israel;
the Rev. John Paul Jones- of
Ashfield, Mass.; Detroit attorney
Harold Cranefield, general coun-
sel to the International Union,
United Auto Workers, and
Burns Chalmers, of the Amer-
ican Friends Service Committee.
Mrs. Morton Sobell also will
speak. The banquet will be
chaired by attorney Gerhard Van -
Arkel of Washington, D.C.
Among the rabbis listed as
sponsors, together with such
eminent Americans as Dr. Rein-
hold Niebuhr, Roger Baldwin,
Norman Thomas, and Rev. Mar-
tin Luther King, is Rabbi Morris
Adler, of Detroit.
The • Central Conference of
American Rabbis, at its recent
convention in Detroit, passed the
following resolution: "A number
of eminent American jurists and
clergymen have raised questions
as to whether Morton Sobell was
guilty of the crimes for which
he was convicted and as to
whether, if guilty, he has not
already been sufficiently pun-
ished. The Central Conference of
American Rabbis, therefore, re-
spectfully urges the President of
the United States to review the
case, to determine whether there
are sufficient grounds either to
recommend a new trial or to
exercise executive clemency."
An independent inquiry into
the facts in the Sobell case was
made by a group that included
Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr and law
professor Edmond Cahn of New
York University. The statement
based on their findings held that
the case against Sobell was
"vague in content and slender in
proof," They pointed out that
Sobell was not accused of any
connection with atomic espi-
onage, and that his conviction
and sentence were undoubtedly
affected by the emotions sur-
rounding the Rosenberg trial.
