U.S. COMMUNIST LEADERS

JLJ JLJ-THI JLF J PRESENT BAIL NOT ACCEPTABLE

(Rec. 9 p.m.) WASHINGTON. Aug. 2. The Justice Department this morning ordered the Civil Rights Congress to produce, by this afternoon. 39 aliens for whom it had furnished bail in deportation proceedings. » All 39 are facing deportation on the ground that they are members of the ommunist Party, or have engaged in subversive activities. By this evening 15 of the aliens bad reported in person at immigration offices in New York. Detroit, Boston, and Philadelphia. They were confined to gaol pending the provision of acceptable bail. Twenty-two others aent word through their lawyers that they would surrender by to-morrow. Only two of the aliens failed to report. The Justice Department’s action was based on a recent ruling by the Federal Court in New York that the ball posted by the Civil Rights Congress, which is listed as a subversive organisation, was not acceptable. The congress was ruled as an unacceptable bondsman after four of the Communist Party’s leaders failed to appear on July 2 to begin prison terms for conspiracy to teach and advocate the overthrow of the United State* Government by force and violence.
