Deputy Attorney General Wil liam P. Rogers told Chairman James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) of the Senate Judiciary committee in a letter Thursday that the de partment favors the bill intro duced by Sen. Styles Bridges (R N.H.). The Supreme Court ruled re cently that Congress made the federal government the exclu sive prosecutor of sedition cases when it passed the Smith anti subversive act in 1940. The decision invalidated the sedition laws in effect in 43 states. Bridges and other law makers have introduced-legislation to restore these laws to the statute books.
