* Ithat An informant advised on May 22,
the Los Angeles Committee to Secure Justice Morton
Sobell, which was formerly known as the Los geles
Committee to Secure Justice in the Roeenbe g Case and also
referred to as the Loo An eles Rosenberg-Sobell Committee,adopted its present name §Los Angeles Committee to SecureJustice for Morton Sobell about Auguet, 195%. The avowed
purpose of this Committee is to have MORTON SCBELL trans-
ferred from the Federal Prison on Alcatraz Island and to see
cure for him a new trial and eventually his complete
release. , j
Both the Lee Angeles Committee to Secure Justice
in the Rosenberg Case and the Loe Angeles Committee to
secure Justice for Morton Sobell were, from their inception,
dominated and controlled by the Les Angeles County Communist
Party through the assignment of Communist Party CP! members
to work on the Committees and to direct the activities of
the Committees. _
In March, 1956, critical discussion by CP members
was that the Les Angeles Committee to Secure Justice for
Morton Sobell should be reactivated and revitalized in a
more aggressive way than it had been in the past and that
its activities should be expanded in terms of according
maximum mobilization of forces to insure attainment of its
objectives.
