COMMUNISTS IN AMERICA
Ban To Be Defied By Party (Rec. 11 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 26. A Communist Party spokesman said here last night that the party would openly defy the new law that outlawed his party in the United States. The party’s candidates for public office would continue to campaign, its newspaper, the "Daily Worker,” would continue to be published and its leaders would fulfil public speaking engagements, he said. The spokesman added that the next move was up to the Federal Government. If and when the Government moved to curtail any party activities, a Court test of the new law was planned. In a six-page statement, three senior members of the party criticised the new law as “the most extreme step ever taken against political and democratic liberties in the history of our country.”
