that his sister, HLEN SOBELL, had arrived in Washington,, _D;4%:, on August 19, 1950, aecompa ied by her twoI 3 "en dren, §§DQ§%RQ££EHlIZ and nAnngfQngnt. He statedthat1/ /--~ n ~ " a -' 1 -" d r ~cLAnnhcs_Qr - s sister 1a eel previous y maizi 0

Jhe divorced him. She stated that SYDNEY was a child
;.,;b0rn of this marriage and that MARK was a child born of,q,,!-her marriage to neuron sonntr. hr. LEVITOV stated that- _shis sister, HELEN SOBELL, returned to Washington, D. C.,
H after her husband's arrest and stayed in Washingtonj%,l untill August 20, 1956, when she went to New York City
presumably to the home of the parents of MORTON SOBaLL.
Hr. LEVITOV stated that during the time HELEN
SOBELL was at his home in Arlington, Virginia, she did
not discuss the matter of her husband's arrest and did
not wish to talk about the case at all. He stated that she
offered no explanations as to why she and her husband
left New York City and went to Mexico.
The applicant stated that he was not aware of
any Communist Party affiliation on the part oi HORTON
SOBELL. He stated that he believed that his sister,
HELEN SOBELL, was formerly a member of the Communist
Party in Washington, D. C., during the time she was
married to CLARENCE D. GUREWITZ. He stated that during
the time that he, LEVITOV, was employed by the "Times
Herald" newspaper in Washington, D. C., he had observed
CLARENCE D. GUREWITZ delivering the communist newspaper
the "Daily Worker". He stated that he, therefore, assumed
that GUREZITZ was a member of the Communist Party and that
because HELEN SOBELL was his wife, she also was a member.
The applicant at that time stated that he had
never been a member of the Communist Party but that on one
occasion approximately twelve or thirteen years ago he
attended what he believed to he a Conmunist Party meeting
somewhere on U Street N. W., Washington, D. C. He stated
that he had attended this meeting in the company of another
fellow whose name he could not recall and that he observed
Ins sister, HELEN SOBELL, at this meeting. As far as he ~
could recall, she was the wife of CLARENCE D. GUREWITZ
at that time. '

' During the course of the above-mentioned investigation,
EDITH LEVITOV, the sister of the applicant, was interviewed
at the LEVITOV family home at 2133 Lee Highway, Arlington,
Virginia. KissLEVITOV was interviewed on August l, 1950,
-and-advised-that she had no information concerning the H
whereabouts of HORTON SOBELL,cr her brother-in-law,who
was presently the fugitive from justice. She stated
that she had no knowledge where her sister, HELEN SOBELL,
was presently located. She stated that she resided with
HELEN and HORTON SOBELL in Flushing, New York, from
February, 1940, to the latter part of June, 1350. She
stated that on Saturday, June 24, 1950, she had left the
SOBELL home to make arrangements to stay at a "private
place" which had been recommended to her by her psychiatrist.
She stated that at that time MORTON and HELEN SOBELL
were at home. She stated that upon returning to the
SOBELL residence later in the day she discovered that
they had departed. She was of the opinion that they had
departed for a vacation.
Kiss LEVITOV was reinterviewed on August 2, '
and in a signed statement stated that the last time she _
saw HORTON and HELEN SOBELL and their two children, SYDNEY
and MARK, was on June 22, 1950. She stated that the
SOSELLs had left and tht they had left her a note requesting
her to stop newspaper deliveries, milk deliveries and take
care of similar matters. She stated that prior to their
departure, HELEN SOBELL had requested her to make the next
payment on their house but that she, HELEN, had not furnished
her any money to make this payment. She stated that she made
this payment with her own funds. She stated that the only
reason she knew why the SOBELLS left their home in New
York without advising anyone of their destination was that
they wished to do this so that HELEN SOBELL's first husband,
CLARENCE D. GUREWITZ would not know the location of his
daughter, SYDNEY GUREUITZ; She stated that the SOBELLs
had agreed to allow SYDNEY to spend the summer with her
father in Washington, D. C., hut had subsequently decided
that they did not want her to visit her father.
It is noted that during the above-two interviews
with EDITH LSVITOV, she was evasive and relused to answer
certain questions. She stated that she had gone to the
post office and posed as Hrs. HELEH SOSELL in order to
obtain the SODELL's mail in July oi 1050 but averted that

investigation on August 23, 1950, at which time he advised
,that his sister, HELEN SOBELL, had arrived in Washington,
D. C., on August 19, 1950, accompanied by her two -
A L _chi1dren, SYDNEY QUHEWITZ and HARE SOBELL. He stated that
his sister had been previously married to CLABENCE~D. -
GUREWITZ from February, 1938, to December of 1944 when
she divorced him. She stated that SYDNEY was a child .
born of this marriage and that MARK was a child born of
her marriage to MORTON SOBELL. hr. LEVITOV stated that
his sister, HELEN SOBELL, returned to Washington, D. C.,
after her husband's arrest and stayed in Washington
untill August 20, 1950, when she went to New York City
presumably to the home of the parents of HORTON SOBELL. .
Hr. LEVITOV stated that during the time HELEN
SOBELL was at his home in Arlington, Virginia, she did .
not discuss the matter of her husband's arrest and did
not wish to talk about the ease at all. He stated that
offered no explanations as to why she and her husband
left New York City and went to Mexico.she
The applicant stated that he was not aware of
any Communist Party affiliation on the part of HORTON -
SOBELL. He stated that he believed that his sister,
HELEN SOBELL, was formerly a member of the Communist
Party in Washington, D. C., during the time she was
married to CLARENCE D. GUREWITZ. He stated that during
the time that he, LEVITOV, was employed by the "Times
Herald" newspaper in Washington, D. C., he had observed
CLARENCE D. GUBEWITZ delivering the communist? newspaper
the "Daily Worker". He stated that he, therefore, assumed
that GUREEITZ was a member of the Communist Party and that
' because HELEN SOBELL was his wife, she also was a member.
The applicant at that time stated that he had
never been a member of the Communist Party but that on one
occasion approximately twelve or thirteen years ago he
attended what he believed to be a Communist Party meeting
somewhere on U Street H. H., Washington, D. C. He stated
that he had attended this meeting in the company of another
fellow whose name he could not recall and that he observed
Ins sister, HELEN SOBELL, at this meeting. As far as he ' _
could recall, she was the wife of CLARENCE D. GUREHITZ
at that time.

During the course of the above-mentioned investigation
EDITH LEVITOV, the sister of the applicant, was interviewed
at the LEVITOV family home at 2135 Lee Highway, Arlington,
Virginia. HissLEVlTOV was~interviewed on August l,_l950, _
and advised that she had no information concerning the
whereabouts of HORTON SOBELL,ar her brother-in-law,who
was presently the fugitive from justice. She stated
that she had no knowledge where her sister, HELEN SOBELL,
was presently located. She stated that she resided with
HELEN and MORTON SOBELL in Flushing, New York, from
February, 1949, to the latter part of June, 1950. She
stated that on Saturday, June 24, 1950, sbe had_1eft the
SOBELL home to make arrangements to stay at a "private
place" which had been recommended to her by her psychiatrist.
She stated that at that time MORTON and HELEN SOBELL
were at home. She stated that upon returning to the
SOBELL residence later in the day she discovered that
they had departed. She was of the opinion that they had
departed for a vacation.
miss LEVITOV was reinterviewed on August 2, 1950,
and in a signed statement stated that the last time she
saw MORTON and HELEN SOBELL and their two children, SYDNEY
and MARK, was on June 22, 1950. She stated that the
SOBELLs had left and that they had left her a note requesting
her to stop newspaper deliveries, milk deliveries and take
care of similar matters. She stated that prior to their
departure, HELEN SOBELL had requested her to make the next
payment on their house but that she, HELEN, had not furnished
her any money to make this payment. She stated that she made
this payment with her own funds. She stated that the only
reason she knew why the SOBELLs left their home in New
York without advising anyone of their destination was that
they wished to do this so that HLEN SOBELL's first husband,
CLARENCE D. GUREWITZ would not know the location of his
daughter, SYDNEY GUREWITZ. She stated that the SOBELLs
had agreed to allow SYDNEY to spend the summer with her
father in Washington, D. C., but had subsequently decided
that they did not want her to visit her father.

with EDITH LEVITOV, she was evasive and refused to answer
certain questions. She stated that she had gone to the
post office and posed as Mrs. HELEN SOBELL in order to

§oéll's Wife Asks Milanese to Help Her Save Her Husband. 1 '
'" Helen, the wife of Morton Sobell who was sentenced in America to 30 years in
jail in the same trial in which the.death penalty was given the Rosenbergs, arrived
in Milan to'ask the Italians to aid her in obtaining freedom for her husband: a little
woman, _ intelligent, tenacious, armed with the iron conviction of her husband's
innocence. Beside her was Mark, the son who has never known his iathe:-: 'a boy of
£ourteen,..pa1lid,- wan,_prematurely aged by the_tragedy._ ' , ' '. .7-""-"-T"-r"'-' *-
The absolute illegality of the trial, which by now has become the historic
symbol of the MacCarthy period, was demonstrated with scientific exactness, at the
beginning of the meeting, by Avvocato GiuliaRUA', by Senator Gianfranco MARIS,
and by the journalist Vittorio ORILIA, The facts are known and clear: the arrest of
the scientist FUCHS in England and his confession oi having transmitted atomic _
secrets to the Soviets, brought about the arrest, in America, of Mr._ and Mrs. .
Rosenberg, of Morton Sobell and of the Rosenberg's brother-in-law, that
GHEENGLASS who, blackmailed by the secret service, agreed to become the
accuser of his companions-in-misfortune.
' America -was, at that time, in the most acute period of the "cold war"; the
announcement that the USSR also had atomic weapons, the Korean conflict, had
created a widespread hysteria of which MacCarthy had become the mouthpiece and
the organizer, In this atmosphere of organized violence, of anti-Semitism, of
blind anti-Communism the Rosenbergs were Jews and Communists! the tfnl took
place. No proof was presented. The only real witness for the prosecution was
Greenglass, the mechanic, who told of having passed on to the Rosenbergs the designs
of the atomic bomb 'reconstructed from memory with the relative calculatiom over-
heard from conversations of several scientists: he who had flunked mathematics in
high school. Ethel Rosenberg's refusal to testify against herself was considered a
confession, Military law was applied to deeds that, even were they true, were at
most committed in times of peace. The judge pronounced the sentence of death
which the jury had not requested. '
All this is today all too clear. The selisame Court of Appeals of New York,
in a judgment passed February 6 of this year, held that the judge has been 'uniair'
in English in the text!, that is, scorrettg, illegal, but refused review of the trial
on the grounds that the term had expired, A procedural excuse is invoked to bar the
road to justice. - . '
' This, the exposition of the facts, was recounted by the three orators in a clear,
terse, precise manner. At the end, Helen Sobell rose to speak. In a tone "
deliberately calm, in short, incisive sentences, she said: My husband is innocent.

The Rosenbergs were innocent. This is the incontrovertible truth. Because my
husband refused to serve as a false witness against the Rosenbergs, he was
sentenced to thirty years, Because the Rosenbergs refused to serve as false
witnessesigainst others, they were sentenced to death. Now I ask you to help
me save an innocent man who is being slowly killed, as his companions were
killed with one blow.
' In a silence tense and moving, l-lelen Sobell continued: '1 speak a '
foreign language -but we all speak the same language against injustice and Io!
truthfulness. It is the moment to unite our voices. For thirteen years I, my
rainy, "in'd*m§" triehds"ha've'be¬n£ighting; But not? my husband is seriously ill
he has lost twenty kilos in weight! and we must arrive in time to save his life
and return him to freedom. Morton is a good and honest man, a scientist who
-can still give his contribution to humanity. President Kennedy has the power to
tree him. I shall go to the White I-louse to ask him. But you can help me. You
can raise your voice, as Russell, Sartre, Pablo Casals, Martin Luther King,
the first Rabbi of Israel, hundreds of American ecclesiastics, half-a-score of
English Deputies, democratic personalities all over the world have done.
Within a few days, Kennedy will be among you in Milan; make him listen to the -
voice that asks for justice. -I am a foreigner and l don't know how it can be done,
but you do. ' Helen bowed her head. There was a long pause. Then, almost
whispered, the last words: My son was one year old when his father was .
imprisoned. Don't you think that's enough. _ A
The appeal did not fall in a vacuum. Proposed by Senator Maris, the
gathering approved the sending of a telegram to Kennedy asking for Sobell's -
freedom. Then other proposals were advanced for an energetic action here in
Milan, The generous capital of Lombardy will not let fall the appeal that was
addressed to its heart and to its sense of justice. " '

.., 9292' ' The arres,f.R6y¥Cdhn under the accusation of perjury and ofobstructing th@course of justice ought once again to draw the attention
of world public opinion to his conduct in the Rosenberg/Sobell oase of
which he was the principal architect. Before Roy Cohn becahe knoun to
the Aeerican public as a liar, who gave false testi:ony'durin3 the pub-'
lic Army/McCarthy hearings, he had used his wicked talent as the prose- _
outor of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and up husband, Horton Sobell. .1 '
-The innocent Rosenoerg couple was killed ten years ago an by
husband, equally innocent, for lb years has languished in Jail. History:
uill establish the truth, and Justice will be rendered to Horton Sobell
and to the Rosenbergs. One oannot help commenting bitterly on a'Justiee .
through which zy husband, sick in prison, has been refused provisional.~ -I liberty by the parole board of the United States while Roy Cohn wasI _ arrested for financial manipulation that made him a millionaire. - _
Only last spring Roy Cohn appeared on a radio program of the Barry
Gray Show of Neu_York, in order to defend in a debate against the famous
Catholic lawyer, Stephen S. Love of Chicago, and against me his role as_ '
prosecutor in that trial. His purpose then, as always, was that of . -
,hidin3 his own misdeeds by accusing innocent people of crimes and raising
hysterically the danger of Communism;- ' _ I - _
' ' ' g _ . .
On that occasion he said, and I repeat it again, that my husband '
never committed any crime. It was because Horton Sobell refused to __
become an instrument of Roy Cohn.in en atte=pt_to block Justice that he '-
met his hostility. when my husband refused to give false testimony '.
against-the Rosenbergs, Roy Cohn incriminetei my husband in the same .'
~ alleged crimes and the result'was that the Rosenbergs were_condemned to --
death and my husband to 30 years in Jail. _ ' _ __ I
That trial has been condemned by thousands or peoole in all the: -
world. Lawyers, Judges, scientists and the clergy have asked freedom "
for Morton_Scbell. Certainly these new facts that reveal the character
- of the prosecutor ought to bring an intensification of the aopeals to
.President Kennedy for the liberation of Morton Sobell and his rehabili-
.taticn. ' ' _ . ' 5 ,_ _ "'
