Padden, hood, and two cam-
paign staffers passed out
"PEOPLE a'e reattv respon-
sive," commented one cam-
paign worker. "I've been work-
ing for Udnit for abot a month
and pelote are st-rting to know
what he's abont."
"We're doing as mrach as we
can to bring his name before
the people." said Padden.
tlood added, "The withhold-
ing of the matching campaign
funds has hurt Udall. lie isn't
receiving the free publicity like
Carter is."
"IT'S IRONIC," said Hood
when asked about Udall's sup-

port from state legislators, "Of
the 33 legislators who endorsed
Carter, none have been out
knocking on doors. We are a
force of only nine but we are
s'mporting otr candidate."
Padden said he believes the
differences between Carter and
IUlatl is: "Udall will deal with
the issues in public and to the
media. Carter hasn't spoken
clearly on anything yet. Udall
isn't afraid to make his views
known."
The Udall supporters claim
the Michigan primary will be
instrumental. "We expect a lot
of cross-over vote like in 1972-
Wallaceites going for Reagan,"
said Padden.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI)-
A $2.5 million libel and slander
suit was filed yesterday against
the National Broadcasting Corp.
and two of its Alabama affiliates
on behalf of one of two women
allegedly raped by 9 blacks 45
years ago in the spectacular
"Scottsboro Boys" case.
The suit, filed by attorney Ar-
thur Hanes, stems from the
broadcast by NBC-TV last month
of the movie ".udge Iorton and
the Scottsboro Boys."
IANES SAID the movie indi-
cited that Ruby Bates and Vic-
toria Price, two yotng Hunts-
ville women who said they were
raped by the black youths
aboard a freight train in 1931,
both died in 1961.
Ilowever, the attorney said he
was contacted by relatives of
Miss Bates, who is now Ruby
Bates Schut and lives in Union
Gap, Wash., following the show-
ing of the movie April 22. He
s-id he is convinced she is the
same woman involved in the
case.
The suit said the movie ex-
toed Schut to "hatred, shame,
contempt, ridicule, aversion, de-
gradation, or disgrace" by false-
ty accusing her of "committing
perjury, false swearing, falsely
imputing to plaintiff a want of
chastity, being sexually promis-
cuous and of loose character,
being of bad character, being
dead."
THE OTHER woman involved
ir the snectacular case, which
attracted worldwide attention,
was Victoria Price. She is re-

Street of Lincoln County, Tenn.,
and an attorney in Fayetteville,
Tenn., said he is planning to file
uit on her behalf.
Bates, who was 17, and Price,
who was 21, said they went to
Chattanooga to look for jobs and
were returning home on a
reight train and were attacked
there by the men.
There was a fight among
whites and blacks traveling on
the train and all but one of the
whites were thrown off in Jack-

Senate subcommittee calls
PBC 'a propaganda tool'

(Continued from rage 3)
for comment, but a spokesman
for the senator said Eastland
was standing behind the report,
which included an introduction
over his name.
THE CHICAGO Sun Times
quoted senators and staff aides
who have challenged the report
as saying "they were told by
Eastland that he did not know
anything about it."
However, the Eastland spokes-
man said, "He has not and does
not disavow the report."
Rifkin said the report was
"full of falsehoods and decep-
tions and it's no wonder that
senators are trying to disasso-
ciate themselves from it. I
think it really illustrates that
the Joe McCarthy mentality is
still alive in some quarters of
the United States Senate."
"I COULD NOT and do not
condone the fact that neither
you nor anyone else associated

Commission was given any op-
portunity to appear before the
subcommittee or to submit testi-
mony," Bayh said in his letter
to Rifkin.
"The fact that the hearing and
the report itself seem to have
had no other purpose than to
discredit you and the PBC based
on the unchallenged testimony of
two witnesses is unacceptable to
me," Bayh said.
The introduction printed over
Eastland's name contends that
"the evidence presented in this
report and in the hearing record
on which it is based points to
the conclusion that a privately
funded organization, the Peo-
ple's Bicentennial Commission,
operating with some hundred of
thousands of dollars, has been
far more successful in reaching
our churches, our schools and
our media than has the official
bicentennial organization.
"What is more," the introduc-
tion says, "this heavily docu-
mented evidence establishes be-
yond challenge that the People's
Bicentennial Commission is a
far-left organization whose true
views are far closer to those of
Castro and Mao than they are
to those of our fir u n d i n g
frthiers.''
'Its participation in the bi-
centennial is a deception and a
fraud," Eastland said. "By mus-
clingino ir the aicentennial oh
servance, it seeks first of all ts
pervert its meaning, and sec
ondly, to exploit it for the pur-
pose of overthro'ingor frec
society."

son County near Scottsboro. A
posse of 10 men and a sheriff
met the train near the Paint
Rock community and arrested
the blacks.
The nine were were convicted
of rape and sentenced to die but
the U.S. Supreme Court over-
turned the convictions and or-
dered a new trial. During a sec-
ond trial in Decatur, Miss.,
Bates repudiated her earlier tes-
timony and said Price had told
her to say she was raped. The
jury again convicted the blacks.
