Mundt and Nixon Plan
Bill 10 Put Curbs on
Communist Party

Senator Mundt, Republican, of
South Dakota said today that he
and Representative Nixon, Repub-
lican, Of California will introduce
O bill later this month to impose
stern curbs on the Communist
Party.
Senator Mundt said the bill will
follow closely one which he and
Mr.. Nixon introduced in the last
session of Congress. That one
passed the House but died in the
Senate. The new bill will be clari-
fed and frightened up" Senator
Mundt said.
He said the statement of Amer
lean Communist leaders in New
York yesterday provided another
reason why legislation of this type
should be passed by Congress. ="
The Communists said that in
event of another war they would
not support the predatory war
aims of American imperialism.
DetauS OF BILL OuCl1ne0.
Mr.. Mundt plugged during his
senatorial campaign last year for
q broader and stronger Mundt-
Nixon bill. The principal features
Of the proposed bill are:
!. A requirement that all Com
munistS register with the Justice
Department under their correct
legal names. The Communists
would be required to register as
party and furnish the depart
ment with membership lists.
names of officers and financial
statements
2. A bar against all Commu-
nists from employment with the
Federal Government. 1t would
provide penalties for Communists
seeking employment as well as for.
the Government officer employing
them.
8. Denial of passports to any
members Of the Communist
Party.
4. A requirement that Commu-
nists identify all of their front"
organizations in which they main
tain any financial or directiona}

S. A requirement that Commu-

An overflow audience, full of

CARDS pELTED BY DODGERS,
 19 TO { GAME
By RALPH RIDDEN

The St. Louis Cardinals, down through the years, have gained a reputation as a never say die' team.
 Baseball fans are wondering today if the present crew of Cardinals will live up to the saying made famous by their illustrious prede- cessors.
 The Cardinal spirit should be low. They suffered one of the most humiliating defeats in their long history last night, a 1916 trouncing at the hands of the second place Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Coming or the heels of so beating the previous night the Car dinal pennant outlook, which was peaches and cream Wednesday af- ternoon, has curdled somewhat.
 The Cards now are only hall game in front of the charged-up Dodgers and they have seven games left to play to the Dodgers SIX.
 While the Dodgers mopped up the Cards before 30,765 fans at Sports man Park, the American League pennant picture remained un- changed. The first place New York Yankees scheduled night game with last place Washington was rained out. They will play double header tonight. The second place Boston Red Sox, who trail the Tanks by two games, were idle as was the rest of the American League.
 Brooklyn belted Red Munger and five St. Louis relief pitchers for 19 hits. The Dodgers scored in every
The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-09-23

inning except the second and seventh.
 Carl Furillo led the massacre, driving home seven runs on three doubles and two singles. Gil Hodges knocked home five runs on three singles.
 Lefty Joe Hatten, who had failed to finish against the Cards in pre- vlous starts, glided to his l2th vic- tory. Hatten allowed two hits over the first five rounds.
 Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers regained the circuit batting lead from the Cards Enos Slaughter. Robinson banged out two hits in four trips to boost his mark from .342 to .343. Slaughter went hit less in five tries and dropped from 345 to 342.
 Both contsnders are idle today.
