Justice Department Moves To Rout Underground Reds
The Justice Department moves to rout the underground American Communist party after the Smith Act ruling. Officials expect a multi year drive with grand juries and prosecutions across the nation. FBI files show about 12,000 suspected communists, with roughly 10,000 going underground and 42,000 known dues payers remaining. The action follows Supreme Court upholding the Smith Act as constitutional.
