Court Win for Reds Rules Raids legal
Federal Judge George A. Welsh ruled that raids on local offices of the Communist party and the International Workers order by Dies committee agents investigating un American activities were illegal. The ruling dismissed the Dies agents motion to throw out the complaint by Carl Reeve and Frank Hellman and left return of seized records undecided. The truckload of materials had been brought to Washington then Philadelphia and is under police guard. The opinion found the Hurley affidavit deficient and based on information and belief rather than fact, and the court rejected the argument of lack of jurisdiction due to a state warrant.
