Prosecutors Reveal
Strategy Of Surprise
In Trial Of Top Reds
BY the AssoeIofsd Press

NEW YORK. April 80. The
strategy of the Communist trial
prosecutors in refusing to disclose
any of their witnesses or plans in
advance has become clear now
that their case has unfolded for
six weeks.
The three FBI informants who
have testified-two of them party
members in good standing until
they stepped to the witness chair
have undoubtedly had the
greatest impact Of any witnesses
on the defendants. If not the
jurors.
Latest undercover worker to
confront the II party leaders on
trial is Miss Angela Calomiris.
slender girl photographer who re-
ported on the Communists to the
Government for seven years.
Miss Calomiris, the Govern
ment's ninth witness, disclosed
officially for the first time that
the Communists are changing
their own security procedures be-
cause of the revelations Of defec-
tons in their ranks.
Membership Cards Destroyed.
She said that since the trial
began the party has quit issuing
membership cards and ordered all
old cards destroyed.
AS the historic case finished its
18th week with no END in sight.
Federal Judge Harold r. Medina
gave clear evidence he was feeling
the strain.
Last Monday. Judge Medina
hastily called a f1ve-minute ad-
| journment and walked off the
bench while Eugene Dennis, one
of the defendants. was continuing
/ to talk against court orders.
Dennis, general secretary Of the
party and perhaps the top de-
fendant, is representing himself
The Judge accused him Of dis
orderly, disobedient and disre-
spectful" conduct.
Objects TO Wrangling.
On Tuesday. after another clash
with the defense, Judge Medina
declared, "this continual wrau-
Cling is wearing me down 80 that
II don't see how I can finish this
trial. Something has to be done
to stop it,"
On Wednesday, the judge and
the defense carried on a running
half hour word battle, climaxed
with an assertion by Judge Me-
dina that the lawyers for the Com
munists were staging "rumpuses"
in court to try to prevent him
from conducting an orderly trial.
The judge also referred to at
tacks on him in the Daily Worker.
whose editor, John w. Gates, is .
defendant.
"Just let me tell you something
about these attacks on me-" Judge
Medina said. "You keep digging
at me, you and your colleagues.
1t is dig here and dig there all
day long. I suppose 1t is to wear
me down, and 1t does wear me
down.
Half Day Sessions Held.
ST have my reasons for per-
mitting you to do that. I feel q
lawyer should have the right to
challenge the integrity Of a Judge
II he thinks the Judge is corrupt
or doing the wrong thing.
But here there seems to be
so little justification-no justifi-
cation at all-and 1t Is just kept
up On and on"
On Thursday and Friday,
Judge Medina held halliday alb
breviated sessions.
The defense, as well as the Gov
ernment, gives no information on
