New Anti Red Bill Is Ready
Senate House conferees drafted a compromise anti Communist bill by removing a fine and imprisonment for Communist party membership and adding penalties for members of Communist action groups under the 1950 Internal Security Act. The act bars such members from defense plants federal jobs and passports with potential five year jail terms and ten thousand dollar fines for failure to register. Senator McCarran said the compromise ensures the act’s penalties prevail.
