Court Edicts Stir Criticism From Congress
Congressional critics blasted two Supreme Court decisions on communism as reshaping anti subversive law use. Rep. Smith said the 1940 Smith Act remains clear in intent, while Sen. Jenner warned the court has set the nation back 20 years in Communist cases. The rulings freed five of 14 California Communists and ordered retrials for nine others. The court also overturned John Watkins's contempt conviction, prompting Miller defense plans for reversal. Service won an 8 0 ruling that he was wrongly discharged by the State Department in 1951.
