Senate approves bill outlawing the Communist Party
The Senate unanimously passed a measure criminalizing membership in the Communist Party or any group aiming to overthrow the U S government. The bill imposes up to a $10 000 fine and five years in prison, with findings declaring the party an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the United States government. It targets groups sharing that objective and links acts to the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950.
