Sympathizers Chant.
They walked out after dark,
while about 100 sympathizers out
side the Federal Courthouse
cheered and sang their familiar
phrase:
Like a tree by the water. we
shall not be moved" .
The Government had asked no
less than $1,000.O00 in bail to
guarantee that the IL Commun-
lists will be around to serve their
prison terms If they lose their
appeals.
However, the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals set bail at
$4,000 each for four of the Com
munists. who have bail-jumping
records or are deportable aliens.
The bond for the Other seven
was fixed at $4,000 each.
The Civil Rights Congress,
tabled subversive by the Attorney
Generals Office, Immediately put
up Treasury Bonds as bail. It
took nearly 10 hours, however, to
satisfy the Government that the
group had right to use the bonds
for bail.
Constitutionality Questioned.
The Appeals Court pointed out
that even the Government con-
cedes that the Communists case
raises a substantial question" as
to the constitutionality of the
Smith Act.
The II were convicted under the
act after one of the longest trials
in history and all were fined $10,-
900 each. Ten drew prison sem
tences of five years. The other
got three years.
All are appealing their convic-
ton by a Federal jury last Octo-
ber IA and the sentences meted
out October 81 by Federal Judge
Harold r. Medina.
Judge Medina refused the IL
bail while they were making their
appeals.

|CAA Action CIearinq
Airline in Disaster
Causes CAB Dispute

Civil Aeronautics Board and
Civil Aeronautics Administration
officials today were seeking to
patch up a controversy that arose
when CAA Administrator D. w.
Rented issued a statement clear
ing Eastern Air Lines of blame in
the air disaster here Tuesday
prior to the CABS public inquiry
into the accident.
Board members are known to
be disturbed over the fact that
such a statement was issued by
Federal official whose employees
will be parties before a judicial
hearing on equal status with air.
line employees and Capt. Eric Rios
Bridoux, Bolivian pilot of the
P-38 involved in the collision.
The issue, they feel, is quite
aside from the accuracy of Mr..
Rentzel's conclusions. ALI facts
developed so far point to the cer-
tainty that the DC-4 was oper-
ating according to the regulations,
and its pilots did all possible to
save the passengers.
Question Right to Act.
Nevertheless, it was felt, the
CAA had no right officially to de-
clare one of the parties wholly
faultless before the CAB had held
its hearing and made an official
finding as to the cause of the &C
cident.
The CAB is an independent
agency, charged with the investi-
CATION and determination of the
causes Of air accidents, and with
the determination of rates, routes
and other economic matters in
the industry.
THE CAB might have to rule
against the CAA in certain cases" :"
1t was said. land for this rea-
son alone it seems improper that
the administrator should comment
upon the standing of another
party to the proceedings"
What was said by the CAA's
traffic controllers in the tower at
National Airport and the replies
they received will be key testi-'
mony at the hearing. This back
and-forth conversation went on in
the few minutes prior to the crash
that cost SIS lives.
Statement Approved.
On the other hand, the CAA
says the statement was discussed
with and approved by Secretary
OF Commerce Sawyer and Assist
ant Secretary c. V. Whitney and
released to reassure the public
at a time when commercial air.
lines were getting an unjustified
black eye" that was hurting busi-
ness.
The CAA is charged by law to
see that all aircraft operate in
conformity with the safety reg
ulations. A study of the accident
was made, 1t was said, and the
statement was issued on the basis
OF the study which disclosed the
aircraft was operating strictly &C
cording to the regulations.
In CAB circles it was said Mr..
Rented only issued the statement
because of pressure from above" ="
Top officials would not be
quoted directly except to say that
the CAB and CAA have never
enjoyed more amicable relations,
and are cooperating with each
other in every way"
