WASHINGTON, April 30 -lR- The Supreme Court today wiped out = pending fur, her hearings = the Communistic designation Of three organizations listed as sub versive under President Truman's loyalty program.
 The high tribu1lsl in it's 5 to 3 decision did not rule on the validity of the loyalty program itself.
 The majority simply held that the government had failed to give g proper hearing to these organiza- tions before proclaiming them to be subversive:
 The joint anti-Fascist Refugee Committee, the National Council oi American-Soviet Friendship Inc, and the International Workers Or der, Inc, of New York City.
 The tribunal sent all three cases back to the U. s. District Court here for hearing on their contention that the loyalty program is uncon- stitutional and their names hence should be stricken from the sub versive list.
 The District Court had thrown out the cases on the government motion the organizations had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.

 Secretary of State Acheson today

His audience had up for consider ation a resolution endorsing direct negotiations with Russia for world peace. The proposed policy state ment. one of dozens to be voted on at the chambers 39th annual meet ing here, called for Soviet-Ameri- can effort to reach truly effective solutions" not mere paper agree ments."
 Acheson in his prepared address stayed away from the controversy over Gen. Douglas MacArthur's pro- posal to adopt new strategy 1T Korea He made no mention of Taft or other critics.
 He gave this summation of hi' views:

He does not plan house-to-house street fighting or to sacrifice his men un- necessarily in the city's defense. Gen. Douglas MacArthur and It. Gen. Matthew B.
