Drive On to Smash Red Party in State
Federal cases target West Coast Communist leaders. Assistant U S Attorney John Foley described the arrestees as the party’s active head and strategists in a sweeping crackdown. Bail for the principal figure was set at 700000, with other arrests in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The conspiracy allegedly spanned from 1945 to last night, with meetings at several addresses and ties to national figures. The case, led by U S District Attorney Ernest Tolin, continues toward the grand jury as the government pursues Smith Act violations.
