The defense argued the party risked Smith Act prosecution if registered, while jurors heard eleven counts for failing to provide name and address by the Nov 20 1961 deadline and a separate count about officers and finances. John J. Abt contended the party had supplied required info in a Nov 10 letter and acted in an American tradition by refusing to sign a guilty verdict. Justice Dept lawyer F Kirk Maddrix noted the form changed after a Supreme Court ruling to avoid self incrimination.
