Judge Arrests In Test Case For Supreme Court Test
In Philadelphia on April 6 a federal court ordered the arrest of two Dies committee investigators and a policeman on charges of conspiring to deprive a Communist of his civil rights. Judge George A. Welsh directed warrants for Lieutenant Albert Granitz, George F. Hurley, and Cheater Howe of the committee. Communist Carl Reeve and others say their rights were infringed by a raid on their headquarters. Reeve contends he was denied the right to summon a lawyer. Welsh hopes the case reaches the Supreme Court quickly, urging restraint in the name of liberty. Dies urged the public to judge the anti-Communist drive. Reeve said material seized was not subversive. Dies claimed it belongs in committee records. Trial motions against Dies and others were rejected. Judge Welsh called for accountability elsewhere.
