Red Leaders Counsel
Plan 10 Call Senior
u. 5. Judge 10 Stand
By the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Counsel
for II Communist leaders, continu-
ing their attack today on the Fed
eral jury system here. say they plan
to call the senior Federal judge for
questioning on the system.
The lawyers said yesterday during
long argument-punctuated at times
by sobs and shouts-that they would
call Judge John c. Knox, the COM
missioner of jurors and other jurys
selecting officials in the Federal
district.
Counsel for the Communist chiefs,
charged with working for the forci-
Bile overthrow of the United States
Government, contend the method Of
picking Federal grand juries and
trial juries here is undemocratic.
Judge Harold r. Medina, presid-
ing at the trial now in its fourth
day, reserved decision yesterday on
a prosecution motion to throw out
one part of the defense attack.
Claim Exclusion of Minorities.
That part Is an attempt to void
the conspiracy indictment on the
ground it was voted by a grand jury
from which members of minority
groups were excluded.
More argument was scheduled to-
day in the defense lawyers twin
attack on the panel of prospective
Jurors drawn for the trial.
The defense lost fight yester-
day to have Judge brought in
from outside the district to hear
the moves to prevent trial under
the present setup.
Judge Medina refused to dis
qualify himself or the other judges
Of the district as prejudiced in favor
of the jury system. The Com
munists' lawyers charged that Judge
Knox "fathered" the jury system
which they contend is illegal and
excludes persons of low income,
Negroes, Jews and members of other
minority groups.
Crowd Has Dwindled.
The crowd of spectators has
dwindled during the lengthy argu-
ments that started Monday, and
most of the guard of 400-odd police
and Federal agents has been with
drawn.
The defendants were indicted last
July, along with William z. Foster.

charges of conspiracy to organize a
party advocating overthrow of the
Government by force and violence
