Supreme Court to rule on bans of Communist candidates
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the Communist Party of Michigan’s appeal challenging state laws barring Communist candidates from primary and general election ballots. The hearing date will be set later as the court also considers whether states may restrict Communist ties or registration for other penalties. The decision could also address segregation rule validity on public transport and related damages cases from a Texas ship explosion.

Waril Slaghter And Big Politics On Probe Agenda
Washington news reports that Supreme Court Justice Rol Jackson testifies today before a bipartisan probe on Soviet actions during World War II. The committee, led by Rep Madden, alleges Russia killed Polish officials to influence postwar Poland and to shield U.S. Russian relations around the Yalta era. Jackson, Nuernberg prosecutor, is among 27 witnesses, and the panel seeks why Nazi cases at Katyn were dropped and whether U.S. officials suppressed Russian responsibility.
