High Court Rules Defense Plant Reds Ban Unconstitutional
The Supreme Court struck down a section of the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950 barring members of Communist groups from defense plants as an unconstitutional abridgement of First Amendment rights. Chief Justice Warren wrote that guilt by association is not enough to justify the ban. Justices White and Harlan dissented, while Justice Brennan concurred on broader grounds. The decision preserves Congress’s broader authority to restrict sensitive positions but rejects blanket associations. The court also agreed to review school desegregation by freedom of choice in New Kent County and deemed the DuBois Clubs not yet eligible to appeal until the federal Board finishes proceedings. A separate ruling upheld a tax rule allowing deductions for out-of-town meals only when travel requires overnight stay.
