Red Registration Rules Listed By Department of Justice
The Department of Justice issued official rules for compelling Communist group registration under the anti subversive act. Groups must register by Monday or face forceful action after a bipartisan board is named by President Truman. The Communist Party resists registering, with FBI estimates around 54,000 members. The rule requires disclosure of income sources and member lists including active participants, and allows appeals up to the Supreme Court, potentially taking years to enforce.
