Communism Can Be Curbed With Present Laws

WASHINGTON, (P - Attorney General Clark said yesterday Communism in this country can be curbed by tightening up laws already on the books.
 He said there is no use trying to outlaw the Communist party be- cause that would only drive the members underground. And, he said, such a law might be declared unconstitutional.
 There is mo more potent Wea- pon," he added than the work of the House committee on un-Amer- ican activities in Infringing into the spotlight of publicity the ac- tivities of individuals and groups"
 Clark suggested to a sub-com- mittee of this group, however, that Congress:
 1. Require all aliens to report their addresses once year.
 2. Permit the justice department to hold aliens for a definite length of time when their own countries refuse to take them back.
 3. Hold officers of Subversive groups responsible for seeing that they are registered under the Voorhis act. This act requires reg istration of groups which are un- der foreign control or aim to over throw the government by force.
 4. Strengthen the espionage act along lines to be recommended later.
 Clark disclosed that this coun- try now is holding about 3,400 aliens whose own countries will not admit them. About 2,100 of these aliens" he said, "are de- portable to countries behind the iron curtain"
 He said at least a hundred of those who should be sent back to the Russian-dominated nations are in custody because they have been found guilty of "suversive activi- ties"
