Conviction of Reds Overturned
A federal appeals court overturned the conviction of the Communist party for failure to register as an agent of the Soviet Union. The DC Circuit ruled the government must prove a volunteer available to register under the 1950 Subversive Activities Control Act. The party faced up to 120000 in fines across 12 counts for daily registration failures and for information on officers members and finances. The decision sent the case back to the district court for a new trial or a directed acquittal.
