In Communist
Trial Monday

The trial Of the Communist
Party of the United States
turned into a legal sparring
match yesterday with each side
unleaShing a barrage of objec-
lions, citations and motions.
After denying a defense mo-
ton for a directed verdict of
acquittal, District Court Judge
Alexander Holtzoff recessed the
trial until Monday morning.
The Party is being tried on q
l2-count indictment charging
it with failure to register under
the Subversive Activities Con-
troll Act of 1850 as an agent of
the Soviet Union.
The Government rested its
case yesterday after placing on
the stand only one Of its two
witnesses. The defense rested
Immediately thereafter without
offering any testimony in its
behalf.
Each side will be allotted one
hour to sum up its case before
the jury Monday morning.
"Willful" Denied
In arguing the motion for
acquittal yesterday, defense at
torney Joseph Forer denied that
the Communist Party had will
fully" refused to register as
charged in the Indictment.
He referred to a letter mailed
on party letterhead stationery
to the Justice Department 10
days before the November 20,
1861, registration deadline. This
letter, he said, contained the
only information required-the
name and address Of the party.
He said officers had declined
to fill out a special Justice De-
partment form because by do
ing so they would be admitting
that the party was a "Commu-
mist action" organization, and
in effect would be incriminat-
ing themselves, in violation Of
their privileges under the Fifth
Amendment.
Party officials also had re-
fused to fill out a related state
ment indicating the officers
names and addresses, party fl
nances and duplicating equip
ment for the same reason, Mr..
Forer said.
In denying the motion, Judge
Holtzoff said he was going to
leave the question Of "willful-
ness" to the jury. Concerning
the other point. Judge Holtzoff
said he was mot going to carry
the privilege against self
determination further than it
has ever been carried" in pre-
vious court decisions.

it, the publishers took out.
1t involved a Col. Casey in
the book, q married Marine,
who goes to New York on a
terribly important mission
for the President and runs
into q former girl friend. His
mission accomplished, he
devotes ardent attention to

Chuck Bailey told how the
books came about. "It was
written because Knebel is a
nickel-nurser." He parked his
car on a fringe lot so far from
the office he had to walk
past the White House every
night and that's how he got
the idea.
TO MAKE THE BACK
GROUND authentic, he said,
they asked to see the upstairs
of the White House and Pi-
ere Salinger arranged it for
them. But by the time the
book had come out, Mrs.
Kennedy had converted the
blue Monroe Room into the
green and red Treaty Room,
and moved the family dining
room upstairs.
How did the two authors
collaborate? First, each wrote
an outline, then Mr.. Bailey
produced one outline from
the two. Then Mr.. Knebel
wrote the first draft and Mr..
Bailey wrote the second draft.
After that they passed it
back and forth for retouch-
ing. That must be the ideal
outline for successful collabo-
ration because $1,000 copies
already have been printed,
and Joel Productions will
start shooting the movie in
January.
