ALIENS IN U.S.A.
SUPREME COURT RULING. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYEIGHT.] (Recd. April 18, 12.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, April 17. The Supreme Court has given a. ruling in the famous Strecker case, which is expected to set a precedent in connection with Harry Bridges, to the effect that the former’s membership of the Communist Party, of itself,. is not sufficient grounds for deportation of an unnaturalised alien. The Court did not rule whether an alien still belonging to the Communist, or any other party, advocating the overthrow of the United State Government by force, could be deported. The decision, from which Judges Butler and Reynolds dissented, ordered that Stretcher be discharged from the deportation proceedings, and it is expected that the pending proceedings against Bridges will now be dropped.
