jesatoosevenr, personally, conducted neg
4 oscil tia manner to indicnte symoathy with
those under inquiry and followed that demon
stration by inviting a bunch of them to the
While House. At the chicken salad orpy in the
White House, following the fourth inauturation,
the guests inchided William-Galilmor, originally
Alargotis, a wellknown thief whose notoriety and
yise from the status of obsacute and petiy knave
in the police records of New York was due to his
consistent preaching of the poidcies, or line, of
the Stalinis{ machine in the United States.
Many inuubitable Communists were turned up
in many departments of the Roosevelt Govern:
ment, but in not oue single case wos there any
acknowledgement from the White House or the
Roosevelt party that their presence was at all
regrettable or explanation of how they got there.
The Gécision of the Supreme Court in the
Jarrs“Rridces deportation case seems to frus-
trate hope of pinning communism on anyobdy.
Bridges was given a Jong and fair hearing by
Judge Charles B. Sears, a distinguished Jurist,
under an unchallanred act of Congress. As the
mintrity opinion ef the Supreme Court said,
Judte Sears recommended that he be deported
on two grounds (a) That he was a member of
the Communist party and (b) that he was “al-
fillated"’ with bolh the parity and the Marine
Workers’ Industria! Union ‘ebich was a part of
the Corununist party.”
The Board of Immigration Appeals of the
Department of Justice, a body by no means
comparable to Judec Sears in prestice but more
comparable to ony bureaucratic croup ef clerks.
reversed the judce. Francis Biddle, the Altorney
Generai, and certainly no Red-saiter, reversed
the Board and ordered Bridres’ deportation.
The ease then went to the Supreme Court and
the majority ruled for Gridces, reversing Sears,
the Couri of Appeals and Biddle, in 2 long and
wispy discussion of the meaning of the word
‘aftitiation.” In fine, however, & man could
assist and co-operate with @ violent, anti-Ameri-
ean group in its lesitimate activities without
becoming guilly of its Iliclt purposes,
Chief Justice Slone wrote a minority opinion
for himself, Frankfurter and Roberts which de-
molished the evil rubbish of the niatority opin-
fon. But that was only in the mature of a wail
of repret for. by this decision, Bridges was
welcomed to our midst and eventually to citizen-
ship, in which status, of course, he may, if he
desires, openiy demand the violent destruction
tha ft
of the ‘Gaverninent, 4s a citizen, he may advo
cate the illictt alins of the party, it he would,
A resolution is new pending by Contressman
MeDonourh of California, which unmistakably
damns coinnmunism as an internativnil con-
spiracy against our Government and a Commu-
nist as anyone who expounds communism as
rn enemy of the country “lo be dcait with
accardingly.”
