SCM Women Won't Oppose Murder?

SCM Women Won't Oppose Murder?

Franco is continuing his savage treatment of democratic youth in Spain. The World Federation of Democratic Youth has notified the Exec. that it has strongly protested against sentences recently, inflicted on members of Spanish Youth Organisations. These sentences include 8 executions, 4 life-imprisonments, 1 woman sentenced to 25 years and 11 sentences ranging from 6 to 14 years—all for allegedly being implicated in blowing up a gunpowder depot. The Exec. passed a motion to the effect that "a letter be sent to WFDY expressing full approval of their protest in connection with the recent sentences in Spain."

Miss McKenzie, Miss Langford and Miss IIott asked that their dissent be recorded.
