FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ¢AGE NINE Washington Acts To Crack Down On Communists I n US. Would Make The Party Give List Of Members And Reveal Financing By William F. Arbogast Washington, May 14 (AP)--The House of Representatives aimed a legislative shotgun at the Communist party today and got set to pull the trigger. It probably won't fire until next week, when it expects to pass a bill making it a crime tg dictatorship in the United States. L 2 ry to set up a Communist The bill doesn't outlaw the Com-# munist party but it would crimp the party's operations and expose | its members and activities. The measure came before the House for debate today with: 1. A plea from Representative J. Parnell Thomas (Rep.-N.J.) to take firm action to cope with "the fore- most menace to democracy today." 2. A retort from Representative Leo Isacson (American Labor. New York) that the bill repudiates the concept of progress and "re- gards America as a finished prod- uct, rigid and unchangeable." Isacson is one of the newest members of Congress. He was elec~ ted from the Bronx earlier this year with the support of Henry Wallace, third.party presidential candidate. Thomas is chairman of the House Committee on Un-American Acti- vities. The bill is the first legisla- tive proposal ever drafted by that committee. In its preamble, it asserts that an international Communist move. ment is conspiring to set up totali- tarian dictatorships through or- ganizations it ccmtrols in other countries. The bill defines the Anterican | Communist Party as one of these organizations. It says it shall be illegal to try in any way to set up a foreign-controlled "totalitarian dictatorship" in the United States or to take part in a movement to create such a dictatorship, Violators would face 10 years in prison:and a $10,000 fine and would dpsed their U.S. citizenship. Another provision requires the Communist Party to register annu. ally with the Justice Department and furnish a list of all its mem- bers. Failure to register, or false registration, would be punishable by {rom two to five years in prison and a fine of $2,000 to $5,000. Communist fronts -- groups affi- liated with the party -- also would h have to register but they would not be required to file membership lists. Another section would deny pass- ports and non-eleciive government jobs to Communists, réquiré Com. munists to label written and radio propaganda as coming from a Com- munist source, and compel the par- ty to report where it gets its fin- ances and how it spends them.
