Monday 'l I Benjc jamin Davis, Gus Hall Face Federal Action Washingon-tUPD-The Justice Department, encouraged by a soeedy jury conviction of the Communist party of the United States, today sought an early trial for the party's chief leaders. Gus Hall and Benjamin Davis. A federal court jury delib erated only 35 minutes Mon day before finding the party guilty of 12 counts of failing to register as an agent of the Soviet Union. Judge Alexan der H o 1 1 z o f f immediately fined the organization $120,- 000, the maximum punish ment provided under the 1950 McCarran Act. Collection of the fine, how ever, will be held in abey ance pending an appeal to the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Hall, Davis Indicated Thomas K. Hall, executive assistant for the Justice De partment's Internal security division, said the government was now ready to proceed with prosecution of Hall and Davis, general and national chairmen of the party. Both have been Indicted for fail ure to register as officers of a Communist- action organi zation. We have asked the court to set trial dates as soon as possible but have not been informed when that will be," the Justice Department offi cial said. Under the 1950 law if an organization found by the Subversive Activities Control Board to be dominated and controlled by the world-wide Communist movement fails to register, then responsibil ity for It to do so reverts first to its officers and then to its members. To Appeal Conviction In addition to Hall and Da vis, the Justice Department said today registration peti tions would be filed at an early date against a number of other members. Party attorneys John Abt and Joseph Forer said they would seek an immediate ap peal of Monday s conviction, partly on the ground that any registration attempt would amount to self-incrimination in violation of the Fifth Amendment.

A spokesman for Trans- i World Airlines said it has ! been asked to fly 150 tons of 1 medical supplies - presumably j part of the multimillion dol-1 lar ransom - from New York i to an airfield near Miami Wednesday.
