speakers This year Portland Staters were offered a smorgas- bord of speakers from which they could sample opin- ions of communism, poetry, civil rights, laws, busi- ness, sex mores. Henry Winston (far left), the blind Negro com- munist leader, glorified socialism before an overflow audience; Clinton Duffy, former San Quentin prison warden and now president of the American League to Abandon Capital Punishment, took a negative view toward "legalized murder." Other speakers were Ste- phen Spender, poet; Roger Chaffee, NASA astronaut; Carlin Capper Johnson, Lewis and Clark political sci- entist; Felix Greene, British journalist.
