women and four men will retire
to consider their verdict.
The immediate issue is whether
the II top Red leaders on trial
are guilty of charges that they
conspired to advocate forcible
overthrow of the Government.
Future Status Involved.
But the case also has wider
implications involving the future
status of the Communist Party
in this country.
The defendants have maintained
that conviction would be tanta-
mount to outlawing the party and
making illegal the activities of it's
leaders and members.
If the IL are found guilty, they
face maximum penalty of 10
years in prison and a $4,000 fine
each.
The historic trial, the first Of its
kind directed at American Com
munism. has been in progress nine
months.
Tense silence settled over the
courtroom yesterday as Mr.. Nc
Gohey, the tall, dignif1ed, white
haired prosecutor, began his sum-
nation.
He spoke in a strong, grave
voice, without courtroom forensics.
"Ours is a Government of laws
rather than a Government of
men," he said. 1T is at once self
evident that such Government
not merely has the right, but the
duty to safeguard its institutions
of libery against destruction from
within, as well as from without" !"
The prosecutor traced the his
tory of the Communists in this
country. He laid stress On the
partys reorganization in 1945
when, the Government charges,
the party renewed its teaching of
violence after a one-year interval
of less militant activity.
Testimony Assailed.
THAT teaching is, as the evi-
dence shows" Mr.. McGohey said.
that Socialism can be established
only by the violent overthrow and
destruction of our constitutional
form of government"
He assailed testimony by de-

violence and claiming they only

means as a legitimate political
party.
Every one of them, without
exception" Mr.. McGohey said,
has been demonstrated to be I'M
worthy of belief. They were
shown to have sworn falsely on
many prior occasions"
Mr.. McGohey compared the
American Communists to the Boil
sheviks who seized power in Rus
sia during the October Red revo-
luton of 1919.
He cited Communist textbooks
which quoted Joseph Stain as
saying "the manner in which the
October insurrection was carried
out may be taken as a model of
such strategy.

This Medea- like creature never
seems overplayed In the hysterical
frame of The Tragic Hunt" Miss
Gioi sees to this and no one could
do it more effectively. Yet, IN
their quieter dimensions. other
roles in the film are almost equal

Certainly this is true Of Actor
Checchi's performance as the

collaborators.
The large native cast does not
simply act out this story. 1t Is
ignited by 1t.
It makes no difference that the
names of those associated with
The Tragic Hunt" are not those
familiar to American audiences.
Italy apparently has q boundless
supply Of fiery writer's. producers
and players for this sort Of thing.
The dominant performers here
are an infiammatory brunette.
Vivi Gioi; Andrea Checchi. Carla
Del Poggio and Massimo Girotti.
They are all quite up TO Italy's
acting standard. which needs no
definition beyond their own.
Corrado Alvaro wrote the brisk
and meaty screenplay on which
the new Dupont film Is based. His
broad purpose is to show the ef-
fects Of protracted battle fatigue
upon q basically peaceful people.
This he accomplishes IN the
dramatically effective fashion OF
singing out predominant types
and setting them into conflict.
Most vivid human in his gal
lery is the girl Daniela. played
by Miss Gioi. She is the complete
victim of the Nazi debauchery
process. Through the cunning she
has learned from them, she col
lects a band of gangsters which
arranges to hi-jack the truck
which is carrying the money to
pay for the cooperative farm, its
machinery and its livestock. This
piece Of cleverness has but a single
defect in it. the bandit queens
use of her lover as one Of the
pawns in the operation. He is re-
cognized by a former wartime
buddy who is one of the leaders
Of the cooperative re-settlement
project.
1t is thus that the stage is set
for q film that resolves itself into
an exciting chase. The woman-led
gangsters recognize that with q
whole countryside alerted against
them, the chances are that they
will be caught. Nevertheless, they
provide against this contingency
by resort to one Of the Oldest and
most effective of the Nazi tricks,
namely, that of seizing the bride Of
a cooperative leader as hostage.
Using her as q screen, they
escape trap after trap and
Director Giuseppe de SAINTS Is an
artful one at working this melo-
dramatic device to the hilt.
The personal aspects Of the
drama are equally fully developed.
Alvaro's story Is complete revela-
ton of how little Of human de-
cency is left in q woman of DAN
iela's type after the Nazis have
| finished her re-education. Through

most basic Of the lusts, that for

delegates to the recent London

''Not only in the United States

"Closely knit international
groups, such as those in medicine,

have proved that nations can CO.
operate along professional lines
even when they cannot do so poll

DR.. Felix said continental psy-
chiatrists seemed extremely pre-
occupied with questions of feelings
of national guilt, of historic origin,
and it's influence-in group be-
havior and thinking-upon interna-

He cited a French paper on Ger

Special Session May Be Void Of Any Tax Measure
(By James Hutcheson)

JUNEAU, (P)-The l7-day spe- cial session of the Alaska Legisla- ture heads into it's final week to- day amid growing indications that it may not put a single new piece of legislation on the books.
 The income tax bill is the only one which appears to have fight ing chance of enactment during a session which some Republicans insistently contend is invalid Al ready approved unanimously by an overwhelmingly Democratic House, it reposes today in the Sen ate taxation committee which is split evenly between the two par ties.
 After emerging, however, it must go to a finance committee which is composed of three Re- publicans and one Democrat. Its progress is handicapped by the at titude of some Republicans who favor a new basic tax program, the adoption of which should await the regular session starting next Monday.
 Many Democrats are now recog- nizing that even if the income tax
 
 bill is stymied, the groundwork has been Tai dat the special ses- sion for speedier enactment at the regular session.
 An indication that several Re- publicans stand against enactment has been laid at the special ses- sion was seen in the treatment ac- corded a routine bill to set up a new legal code for Alaska. There

Catholic Mission Popular

At St. Joseph's Catholic church Sunday evening an attentive con- creation greeted the missionary Father Francis Toner, S.J.
 In the course of the sermon Father Toner explained the pur- pose of mission. "A Mission," he said, "is an honest consideration of the most fundamental ideas of life. Let each of us face the fact of our own personal existence and then present ourself with three questions"
 In answering the first question, Whence did I come?" the mis- sionary maintained that the only adequate answer to the question of my origin is God the Creator. And due to the fact that God did create us, He has rights over us, the right to command, the right to demand our eternal fealty. And since every right has correspond ing obligation, we on our part have an obligation to obey and adore our God"
 The second and third questions, "Why are I here?" And "Where am I going?" Were answered in the logical manner and interesting delivery that has made Father Toner popular in the Northwest.
 The Mission exercises begin at 7:30 each evening during the week. To accommodate the over flow crowd Father Murphy, the pastor of the church is making ar- arrangements for folding chairs. The public is invited.
