from a CND reader Relieved of all restraint by the emasculation of the Nottingham City Labour Party, resulting from the disciplinary actions taken by Transport House last year, Nottingham's conservative Labour Council has refused permission for the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation's Vietnam Exhibition to be displayed at one of the city's art galleries, Labour aldermen and Tory councillors spoke with indistinguishable voices in defence of their refusal to permit "propaganda". This was also the line taken by Alderman Mrs. Case, who is Chairman of the Art Galleries Committee and is also, ironically, a paid-up member of C.N.D. With widespread support from C.S.2., C.N.D., Labour Party members and trade unionists, the Exhibition has been found an alternative venue at the Co-operative Education Centre, Broad Street, Nottingham, where it will be open on Friday, 10th February from 12 noon until 9.30 p.m, and on Saturday, 11th February, from 10 a.m. to 5.30 pm. Allied with the Exhibition is a Public Meeting on Vietnam, sponsored by CSE, to be held at the Albert Hall Institute, Derby Road, on Friday 10th February, at 7.30 pem. The speakers include Ralph Schoenman, Secretary- General of the International War Crimes Tribunal, and Professor Setsure Tsurushima, a member of one of its Investigating Teams, Both have only just returned from Cambodia and Vietnam.
