Reinhold Niebuhr, visiting professor of Theology, is a principal signer of a petition asking President Kennedy to pardon Junius Scales, a former North Carolina Communist serving a six-year prison sentence for violation of the Smith Act.
The petition calls Scales' conviction "unique in American history" and characterizes his sentence as "grossly excessive." It points out that Scales quit the Communist party in 1957, more than four years before he entered Lewisburg Penitentiary last October.
David Riesman '31, Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences, and H. Stuart Hughes, professor of History, have signed a statement endorsing the clemency petition. Mark DeWolfe Howe, '23 professor of Law, has also written to the Attorney-General on Scales' behalf.
