Dear Al:

In reply to yours of the 23 to Cliff, who 4% 221,

let me say that I hope you understand that the Department

of Justice people think Purcell, Endo's attorney, is wrong,

and he ought to re-open the case with the District Court

and get the case advanced so that it will be heard in the

Supreme Court with the other cases.

the Yepartment of Justice people are pretty certain

that only a writ case will be successful. `he important

point is that all these cases should get to the Supreme

Court together, and if the Endo case goes over it won't

nor any one like it.

Sincerely yours,

ROGER BALDWIN
