California Reds Get Substantial Bail Out
Eleven California Communist party leaders held in Los Angeles county jail since July may be free on bail this weekend after a court order lowered bail from 50000 to 5000 or 10000.

The group faces trial in Los Angeles January 28 for conspiracy to overthrow the government by force. one defendant from San Francisco, William Schneiderman, had bail set at 10086 and Mary Bernadette Doyle at 10000. The order was airmailed to Los Angeles as authorities consider appeals to higher courts.
