Court Orders Freeing of Five Commies
The Supreme Court ordered freedom for five of 14 California Communist leaders convicted under the Smith Act and granted new trials to the other nine. It ruled that abstract preaching of forcible overthrow is not a crime under the act and faulted a trial instruction on distinguishing advocacy of doctrine from action. Justice Harlan wrote the majority, with a 6 to 1 vote for freeing five. Black and Douglas would free all 14, while Clark dissented.
