With surprising swiftness,
both sides rested their cases
this morning in the District
Court trial of the Communist
Party of the United States.
The party is accused in a
12-count indictment with
failure to register with the At
torney General as an agent OF
the Soviet Union. If convicted,
it faces a fine Of $4,000 on
each count.
Immediately after resting ii
case, and without introducing
testimony, the defense moved
for acquittal on each count OF
the indictment.
Judge Alexander HoltZoff
sent the jury home until 10
am. Monday and heard argu-
ments on the motion for ac-
quital, which he denied.
Attorney Joseph Forer, rep
resenting the Communist Party
argued that the party had not
"willfully" violated the Subver-
sive Activities Control Act o1
1850 as charged in II counts
of the indictment.
/ Referred TO Letter
He referred to a lettel
mailed on party stationery II
the Justice Department 10 day
before the registration dead
line. This letter, he said, con
tained the only information
necesSary-the name and ad'
dress of the party.
Officials of the party de-
clined to fill out two specia
forms because in doing so they
would be admitting that tht
Communist Party was a Com.
munist action" organization
Mr.. Forer said. This, he said
would violate the officials
rights against self-incrimina'
ton.
The Government closed II
case without calling to tn
stand one of its two witnesses

been described as a Hungarian
freedom fighter.

to the General Assembly, Will
liam j. Brannan. jr., law
partner of States Attorney
Leonard T. Hardy, said he will
present a bill which would
grant some pouring (liquor
by the drink licenses.
Mr.. Brannan said he repre-
sented an association of res
taurant and hotel owners. He
said his proposed legislation
would tighten the law in some
respects" while granting more
licenses but he did not say how
1t would be tightened.
Pouring License Bill
Henry Deitle, a restaurant
owner who represented the
Licensed Beverage Association,
submitted to the delegation a
bill that was presented to the
former delegation in 1859 but
which was not enacted. 1t also
would open the door for any
restaurant which met certain
qualifications to get a pouring
license.
Under the present law, only
three restaurants which were
in existence when prohibition
was lifted have licenses to sell
liquor by the drink. However,
several country clubs have such
licenses and several bring your
own bottle clubs have sprung
up in the past two years to
get around the restrictions.
other restaurants and taverns
are restricted to sale of beer
and wine and even this is
barred in some districts.
Mrs. Samuel Stackhouse of
Spencerville. representing the
Women's Christian Temper
ance Union, said that to relax
the laws would be detrimental
to the health, safety and econ
omy of our citizens" She said
that one Of every eight social"
drinkers become an alcoholic.

James v. Scully. of the In
ternational Temperance ASso-
citation, said Montgomery's IL
quor laws are the best in the
State" and should not be re-
laXed.
The Rev. Andrew L. Gum,
pastor of Grace Nj hodist
Church in Gaithersburg, said
efforts to loosen the liquor laws
have failed in the past and
will continue to fail because
the good people Of Montgom-
cry have been well satisfied
with the restrictions of the
present law"
State Senator Gilbert Guide
told those present that the
delegation has not yet COM
mitted itself to introduce any
bills and that hearings will be
held on any legislation to be
introduced if sufficient inter-
est is expressed.

Both Sides Rest Cases
In Trial of Red Party

According to Mr.. Lissner's
account, Mr.. Hall stated
at the press conference
that the party was planning
an "all out education cam
paign" against the Supreme
Courts decision which required
the party to register. The court
upheld the Subversive Activities
Control Act of 1850 which was
the beginning of the Govern
ment's effort to force the party
to file certain information.
Saw police State"
Mr.. Hall was quoted as say
ing the Supreme Court deci-
sion of June, 1861. would have
the effect Of outlawing the
Communist Party in this coun-
try and would lead to the
United States becoming "a
police state"
He was further quoted by
Mr.. Lissner as saying party Of
ficials would not become stool
pigeons" by disclosing men,
bers' names as required under
the act.
Mr.. Maddrix introduced as
evidence a photograph taken
at the press conference and a
statement Mr.. Lissner made to
the FBI concerning the gather
ing.
In opening statements yes
terday, defense attorney John
L. Abt said the Communist
Party has consistently denied
being a communist action"
organization.
Requirements Cited
He said the requirement to
register with the Attorney
General would force the Of
ficers Ito be witnesses against
themselves" in violation Of
their privileges under the Fifth
Amendment.
Both sides agreed yesterday
to a series of stipulations con-
cerning the non-controversial
aspects of the case. One such
stipulation was the agreement
by both sides as to the legiti-
macy Of a letter written by
the party to the Justice De-
partment and a subsequent
reply telegram.
The letter, dated 10 days
before the November 20, 1861
registration deadline. said the
party would decline to file the
statements. basing its refusa
on the Fifth Amendment privi'
lege. The Justice Department
telegram rejected the party
argument.

CORTEZ--The crisis here over
the US. Interior department pro-
posal that the original Navajo trail
dedication at Four Corners be post
poned from Sept. 10 to the middle
of October is subsiding. 1t is
expected the original dedication
date will stand.
The crisis started when Russ
Brown, editor of the 'Montezuma
Valley Journal received letter
from Orren Beatty. assistant to
Secretary Steward Udall saying,
because of schedule conflicts
and because the proposed highway
dedication date of Sept. 16 comes
so soon after the Navajo Dam
dedication (Sept. 15), we are at
tempting to reschedule the high
way observance for the middle
to the latter part of October. "
The Journal headlined the story,
"Udall will change date for high
way dedication. The fat was in
the fire. Word spread quickly by
telephone from one end of the
Trail to the other.
Months of work and thousands
of locally raised dollars have al
ready been spent on the Sept. 10
event. Dignitaries have already
made reservations. The Four Cor
ners states have been at work on
the details. The Navajo and Noun
tain Ute tribal counCi lis are deeply
involved.
The motels want busines at this
time of year, as does Mesa Verde.
A major goal is to promote travel
next fall over the new highway
shortening the distance to Phoenix,
the Grand Canyon and the west
coast.
The Interior department pro-
posal was calamity. The Nava-
10 Trail associations Executive
Vice President Joe Childers of
Durango quickly announced.
''There will be no changes.
Brown was contacted by Davoren,
former aide to Gov McNichols,
now with the Interior depa artment.
DaVOren is to serve as liaSon be-
tween federal agencies and the as
sociation on detail plans.
Davoren arrived for an emer-
gency luncheon Friday at the Pony
Express. Expecting few associa-
tion officials. he found that more
than so had gathered. When he saw
the crowd. he said. 81 am afraid
this is a lynching party, not a

Davoren who knew nothing of

and Mike Valentine of the Durango
chamber.

did not want TO appear in con-
flict publicly with top Interior De-
partment officials.
He also brought out his sus-
picions that the department had
acted assuming the Navajo Trail
association dedication was a cas-
ual one which could easily be
changed, that the department did
not know the background either.
Davoren who is stationed in
Salt Lake City, plans TO contact
the Department and the expectation
is that it will back Sept 16 when
it hears the Davoren story.
Friday was the first time there
had been face to face talk be-
tween the Interior Dept and as
Sociation people since the Interior
Dept. decided to sponsor the dedi-
cation and make it an event of
national importance.
DaVoren said he considered it
more important to consider how
the Interior Dept. could help, than
argue over the date which should
be easily settled. A meeting for
this purpose will take place in
Durango June l9.
Bill Peterson said it was be-
coming hard for the association to
raise money as towns along the
Trail now expected the Interior
Department was going to foot the
bill.
Childers and Arndt we're en-
phatic that the $4,000 budget re-
mains essential. Childers pointed
out that the 10000 brochures

ton is responsible for StickerS.
ties, most of the costs of promot-
ing the dedication and travel along
the Trail.
While the Interior Dept. may help
with few of the costs, its chief
services are likely to be: Mailing
the invitations, helping obtain nat
ional publicity and supplying speak
ers like Sec. Udall whose remarks
may command wide attention.
George Grandbouche of Cortez
will take over the money raising
during the summer months. Chill
ders said that President r Ralph
Burress who has moved to Delta to
take over the Phillips sc distribu-
torship has been off the association
payroll since May /.
Valentine raised the point
whether the desire of the Interior
Dept. to hold the dedic alton in
October might not have something
to do with the fall elections. He
pointed out that Sec. Udall's BROTH
