I Advancement of Colored People am particularly interested in getting a first Nanette Dembltz hand report of events in Mississippi, which N. Y. Civil Liberties Union are even more shocking than I had naively Saul C. Downes Comm. on Civil Rights, supposed. N. Y. County Lawyers Assn. Edward J. Ennis As for your legal questions, I am afraid Irwin Feinberg, M.D. that the civil liberties program doesn't work quite that way. We do not regard our work Arnold Forster Anti-Defamation League as generally available for questions of the Murray Gordon character you raise. If the General Counsel BUI of Rights Comm., Assn. of CORE thinks that any or all of them are of of the Bar of /he City of N. Y. sufficient importance to the organization, I Bernard C.

JUDSON 6-8397 October 18, 1963 Mr. R. Hunter Morey 90l!< Nelson Street Greenville, Mississippi Dear Mr. Morey: I am in receipt of your letter of October 9th. The Legal Defense Fund will pay the legal cost of these cases as well as court costs, but we cannot pay any appeal bonds which is what I gather you were referring to in connection with the $500 discussed in your letter. We do not have a Legal Handbook out but we are in the process of preparing one. It is something that involves a great deal of effort while we must at the same time try all our cases. As to the question concerning a bonding company I do not have the answer but I am referring it to John Pratt of the National Council of Churches who may be able to help in this area although I am not at all certain.
