TWO SCOTTSBORO BOYS IN PRISON DENIED PARDON (CNA)--The Alabama Pardon Board this week rejected applications for freedom for two of the five Scottsboro boys still held in prison despite acquittal last year of four of the original nine tried on the same discredited charge of "raping" Victoria Price, white complaining witness. The Board unanimously recommended that pardons not be granted to Clarence Norris and Haywood Patterson. The Board, following recommendation of the Alabama Attorney General A. A. Carmichael, said application for pardons for three other boys were presented "prematurely," because the time had not expired for appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court in their cases. Final decision of the pardon rests with Gov. Bibb Graves. He may or may not follow recommendations of the Pardon Board on application for clemacy. Graves said he would not act on any of the five applications for pardons in the Scottsboro Case until after Sept. 16, last date for appeal in the U. S. Supreme  Court on three of the convictions. The Board turned down pleas of clergymen and attorneys representing the Scottsboro Defense Committee and Alabama progressives that the five boys be released and the notorious Scottsboro Case ended.
