Reds Decline To Fight Case In California Trial
In Los Angeles 10 of 14 California Communist leaders facing conspiracy charges declined to contest the government case.

The defendants issued a statement claiming innocence and noting no evidence beyond Communist party membership. Names listed include Connelly, Dorothy, Fox, Lambert, Dobbs, Steinberg, Lima, Kusnitz, Richmond, and Spector. The remaining four are Schneiderman, Yates, Stack, and Carlson.

New York would remain the national hub for wartime activities while a major Midwest office serves as a bridge to a future interdenominational center. The Midwest site should be as far west as St Louis or Chicago.
