Court Hears Arguments
On WoLottimore Counts

days arguments are the i've
surviving counts of the old in
dictment. Mr.. Lattimore's at
torneys call them trivial. The
Government has never said
whether it would go ahead and
bring Mr.. baltimore to trial on
what remains Of the old indict-
ment if it fails to get the new
one reinstated.
The Court of Appeals granted
a motion by United States Attor-
ney Leo A. Rover that its entire
membership. instead of the usual
three-member panel, hear the
baltimore arguments. Chief
Judge Harold M. Stephens died
last weekend. The remaining
eight judges decided to go ahead
without waiting for the vacancy
to be filled.

The Owen baltimore perjury
case. which has shuttled around
in the courts for 21a years with
out coming to trial, comes UP
today for still another legal 60
around.
The United States Court Of
Appeals called for arguments on
a Government move to reinstate
a two-count indictment against
the controversial Far Eastern
specialist.
The appeal is from a ruling by
United States District Judge
Luther w. Youngdahl throwing
out the two charges as form
less and obscure"
They allege Mr.. baltimore, oc-
casional State Department con-
sultant in the past. swore falsely
when he denied before the Sem
ate Internal Security Subcom-
mittee he had ever been (1) a
follower of the Communist line.
Cd a promoter of Red interests.
Target of 2 Senators
Mr.. baltimore frequently has
been a target of Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican. of Wis
consin, and the late Senator
McCarran. Democrat, of Nevada.
He has replied to all attacks on
him with assertions that he is
a loyal American.
The indictment figuring in the
current proceedings was re-
turned last october. 1t replaced
the key count of a December,
1852, indictment which charged
Mr.. baltimore with lying when
he said he had never been a
"sympathizer or any other kind
of promoter of communism or
Communist interests"
Judge Youngdahl threw out
this charge. along with three
other counts of the original in
dictment. The court of appeals
upheld him on the key count.
holding the word "sympathizer"
was invalidly vague. but re-
instated two of the tlifee lesser
charges thrown out by Judge
Youngdahl.

Of Tennessee has modified q
weekend statement in which
he was not a candidate for

Court 10 Test
NcCarran Act
BY L. EDGAR PRINA

The Supreme Court has cleared
the way for a test of the con-
stitutionality of a key provision
of the McCarran Internal Sc
curity Act of 1850.
The high tribunal yesterday
agreed to review-probably next
fall-the appeal of the Commu-
mist Party of the United States
from an order of the Subversive
Activities Control Board that it
register as a Communist ac-
ton" group.
Under the McCarran Act, such
groups must list their officers
and members and account for
contributions and expenditures.
If the party does not register
its members. and ifs in that
case, the members do not reg
lister themselves, the law pro-
vides a penalty of five years
imprisonment. a $4,000 fine, or
both, for each violation. Each
day of failure to register con-
stitutes a separate offense.
Case on Appeal
The Communist Party ap-
pealed from a 2-to-1 decision by
the United States Court of Ap-
peals for the District of Colum-
bia last year which sustained
the SACB order. In its appeal,
the party asserted that the Nc
Carran Acts registration provi-
sion not only would outlaw the
party itself but would "jeopar-
die the trade union movement
and imperil the liberties of
countless non-C Communists"
In a reply brief, the Justice
Department urged the Supreme
Court to find that the board
gave the Communist Party a
fair and exhaustive hearing be-
fore ruling that it was "substan-
TALLY directed, dominated and
controlled by the Soviet Union
and operates primarily to ad-
vance the objectives of the
world Communist movement.
The Communist Party appeal
was urged on a number of counts
including one that the appeals
court denied the party's motion
to adduce additional evidence
based on revelations of perjury
by paid Government informers.
It mentioned, in this connection,
that Harvey Matusow, the turn
about witness, admitted he lied
in testimony before the SACB
in this case.
First Amendment Cited
1t also argued that clearly,
the question whether the act,
on it's face and as applied,
violates the First Amendment,
requires review by this court"
The Governments case against
sthe Communist Party under the
registration provision has been
going on for more than four
years.
After the Justice Department
petitioned the SACB to cite the
party. hearings began April 90,
1851. They went on for IA
months. being completed July /,
1852. From then until January
Z. 1858, briefs and arguments
were in order. The board, after
taking $4,000 pages of testimony
and evidence, issued it's finding
against the party on April 20.
1853.
The party then appealed, and
the appeals court last December
ruled the McCarran Act consti-
tutional and upheld the boards

Nearly 400 guests we're in
attendance last evening when
q portrait OF Mrs. Gilbert Gros-
venor and her 6-year-old
granddaughter, Elsie Frances
Myers, was displayed for the
first time at a private showing
and reception in Explorers

John D. Slavin Of Richmond
and Washington, was shown at
a'party given by the Gros-
venors' daughter and son-in-
law, DR.. and Mrs. Walter K.
Myers.
Private Showing
After the private showing,
the portrait will be hung tenn
porarily in the Geographic So
ciety's library in Hubbard Me-
mortal Hall. The building was
named for Mrs. Grosvenor's
grandfather. the late Gardiner
Green Hubbard, Washington
philanthropist and a founder
and first president Of the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Interesting background to
the portrait reveals the story
of a ood-humored family
struggle to have it executed.
The family prodded Mrs. Gros-
venor for years to have her
portrait painted, but to no
avail.
Finally. four years ago. she
agreed to a portrait - only,
however, if her namesake,
Elsie, would sit with her. Mrs.
Grosvenor, the mother of six,
grandmother of Is and great
grandmother of three ex-
planned: Il feel comfortable
