A new organization, "The Committee of One Hundred," has been formed in Bombay to undertake a campaign against the atrocities committed by the Johnson administration in Vietnam. Composed of leading scientists, artists, journalists and economists, it is seeking to set up broad-based committees throughout India to support the International War Crimes Tribunal initiated by Bertrand Russell.
The chairman of the committee is V.V.Prasad, a senior journalist, and the secretary is T.V.Jayaraman. The members include Dev Anand and Balraj Sahni, popular movie stars, and Harindranath Chattopadhyaya, a well-known poet.
The committee has been in touch with the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation. In a message to the committee, Bertrand Russell said, "I welcome any move in support of the Vietnamese and in opposition to American aggression in the world."
The Committee of One Hundred would welcome literature on the war in Vietnam. Its office is 6 Bueno Vista, Windy Hall Lane, Colaba, Bombay 5, India.
