Supreme Court Rejects Passport Ban on Communists
The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, struck down the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950 for being too broad, prohibiting passport use by members of Communist groups even if not knowingly involved. Dissent argues the party top leaders were protected, while Flynn and Aptheker seek passport restoration.

Supreme Court At A Glance
Washington AP summary of Monday actions includes overturning several sit-in trespass convictions on technical grounds, striking down a Subversive Activities Control Law section on passports for designated Communist groups, and granting counsel when questioning authorities shifts to accusatory. It also bars trial juries from judging voluntariness of confessions before judges decide if voluntary, remands reapportionment cases, and preserves nonobscene film rulings while reviewing Maryland movie censorship later.
