WEEKLY SUNDAY NIGHT BROADCAST © 4 “AMERICAN BROADCASTING COMPANY ST. 3 [ By George E. Sokoleky, June 23, 1957 an GOOD EVENING. THIS IS GHORGE SOKOLSKY TRANSCRIBING OW THE EVENTS OF THESE GAYS. BUT FIRST MAY I PRESENT CUR ANNOUNCER FOR A MOMENT. Mr.’ Mr. | 0 The Great Commmnist Victory Y/Y Tele. The U. S. Supreme Court(has handed down a series of deciaima durin |e few weeks whi ave givani the Commmists of this country a victory suc they have not experienced ever before in American history. It is a clear man for them to continue their propaganda, their infiltration and their penetration throughout our land without restraint. In dowe agpecta, these deciaims are so far-reaching that they may benef kidnappers, forgers, and other malefactors. It would rather indicate that thers are too pany theoreticians and too few practical lawyers on the Supreme Court ben | The danger is great and the country should be alerted to the danger. Of course, the very worst decision was the Jencks Case according to whi a defendant may demand to see the PBI files upon which the case against him is based. This means that FEI files are no longer secret and the vast amount of mat Pial in then may, under certaln circumstances, be ordered by judges to be mde available to the defendant's counsel. Judges have been doing this since the Jenc decision came dom, I heard of one lawyer who applied 4t jocally to a labor boar ease, Obviously, it can be applied to kidnapping, murder and all other cases. Prom the standpoint of abstract justice, there may be a reason for this, From th standpoint of practical law-enforcement, 1t means that the lawyer can frighten of or blackmail 411 the witnesses against his client. We saw that in the Vic Riesel case, when the Prosecution had to drop the case against an alleged hirer of the acid throver because all the witnesses had been encouraged by someone to shut up. They would not talk in open court, under oath. In «a word, law-enforcement is al- ready belng weakened; the Jencks decision turns our country into an anarchy by opening up the FBI files. There can be no limit to the mlechief that this deciat ean do. .. In the other Cammmist decisions, the Supreme Court got itself entangle in the verbiage of Marxiat ideology with which apparently the learned judges are Jere too familiar. For instance, apparently do not believe that just ad re force and one means yery pom What a fellow who advocates ory and olendé mi ow howhe plans to upset the government by force and | violence. or course, “Kari Marx, Frederick Engels, Balnmin, Lenin, Stalin, IIc Tre-tung, William 2.
