gress and the President was
released yesterday.
Attorney General Rogers said
there are a number of organ
izations that may be potenti-
ally suitable subjects for Com
munist- front petitions under
the definitions" of the Internal
Security Act Of 1850.
But, he continued. the de-
partment must decide whether
the evidence necessary to estab-
lish the Communist character
of the organization before
the Subversive Activities Con-
troll Board can be made avail
able without unduly impairing
the current intelligence cover
age of the national Commu-
mist conspiracy"
However. he said, efforts are
being made "to develop EVIL
dence from sources already
disclosed and it is ex-
pected that new petitions will
be filed this year"
Get Court Delays
Under the 1850 act, organ
izationS deemed to be Com
munist-action and Commu-
nist-front groups must register
with the Justice Department.
But an organization need
not comply until all court &C
ton has been exhausted.
The registration wheel is set
in motion by the filing of a
petition by the Attorney Cen
eral with the Subversive Ac-
tivitieS Control Board, asking
that an organization be ordered
to register. The SACB holds
hearings before arriving at a
determination. Court appeal
is open to the organization if
1t chooses to fight the result.
Thus far, the Justice De-
partment has sought to have
81 organizations, including the
Communist Party, ordered to
register. But none has actually
had to do so yet.
The Communist Party case
is now in the courts. Action in
the other cases has been held
up pending outcome of. the
Communist Party appeal.
