lions vastly misleading" and
charged that some States and
municipalities are misusing it in
such a way as to threaten secur-
ity and freedom.
In his second major assault
on the list, the Republican MEM
Der of the Subversive Activities
Control Board asserted last
night that of the 275 organiza-
lions cited to date, approx
mately $50 no longer exist and
that of the remaining mot more

Mr.. Cain added that busy
bodies. superpatriots and vigil
lante groups have been active in
passing, along the contagion of
suspicion and distrust."
Although specifically absolving
Attorney General Brownell. the
former Senator said that many
people in authority, both in and

ment," believe that mere men,

considered in security evalua-
lions of employees and applicants
to the Federal SERVICE" Mr.. Cain
said.
He urged publication of a
descriptive handbook" which
would give a short history and
pertinent facts on each listed
organization - identifying those
now defunct and classifying
them as to Communist, Fascist,
totalitarian and subversive.
These handbooks should be
made available to the public as
well as to security officers at
every level of government.
If this were done, he argued,
the people of the Nation would
not be "needlessly inclined to
over-rate the scope of organized
Communist activity in the United
States" as they are today.
''The Attorney Generals list

misleading and q threat to a
continuing vitality and strength
of your Nations Internal Sc
curity."
AS one example Of how the list
is being misapplied in the States,
Mr.. Cain cited the Broyles loyal
ty oath bills now up for a third
consideration in the Illinois Leg
islature-having passed twice,
only to be vetoed by the Gov
ernor.
He said that one of these bills
would make a future continuing
membership in one of the 275
prescribed groups a crime-pun-
ishable by as much as a $4,000
fine and 20 years in jail-four
times as severe as the punish
ment melted out to the top Red
leaders under the Smith Act
trials.
A second measure imposes on
every teacher the necessity of
swearing he does not belong to
any of these organizations.
by what means has Illinois
found that mere membership in
a listed organization is an evil
or subversive thing in itself?"
Mr.. Cain asked.
I'VE on the Federal level know
all too little about the nature
and characteristics Of listed or
CARNATIONS which have never
benefited from any adjudication
on the merits" he added. ut is
a tragic thing that some respon-
sible leaders in the sovereign
State of Illinois seem bent on
misusing the list to the certain
detriment of education"
Mr.. Cain also cited what he
called "a fantastic" statute ap-
proved by the State of Alabama
in 1853 but since overturned by
the courts.
Under this law, the publisher
Of every textbook used in Ala
bama schools was required to
take non-Communist oath on
behalf not only of a books au-
thor, "but for the author of
every other book mentioned in
the books photography" he said.

that Mr.. Petersilge could finish.
Judge Julius Kovachy, head Of
the three-judge court which also
includes Joy Seth Hurd and Lee
E. Skeel. said he believed the
State could conclude its argu-
ments today.
The defense wants the court to
upset the jury verdict that the
Bay Village osteopath was guilty
of second degree murder in the
bludegoning death Of his wife
last July 4. The defense con-
tends there were errors in the
trial and that the evidence did
not justify the verdict.

theory yesterday-that the real
