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.

In 'Security Paradise'
By United Press International
The Kennedy - Macmillan
meeting in the Bahamas Wed
nesday and Thursday will
take place in a location best
described as a "security man's
paradise."
The site is the Lyford Cay
(pronounced key) develop
ment, 13 miles from Nassau,
on a narrow peninsula sur
rounded by forbidding reefs.
It is completely sealed off by
a security cordon.
Supplies Being
Massed in Trade
For Prisoners
Miami -IUPII- Arrangements
were reported being made to
day to mass supplies in the
Miami area for the ransom of
1,113 captured Cuban in
vaders, who may be freed
from Fidel Castro's prisons be
fore Christmas.
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.
The freighter African Pilot,
under charter to the American
Red Cross, left Baltimore
Monday on the way to Miami
with orders to stand by "in
anticipation of an agreement"
on the release of the prisoners.
Details Not Told
Details of the ransom deal
never have been made public.
At one point, Castro demand
ed S62 million for the release
of the prisoners, but he is be
lieved to have agreed to ac
cept supplies of less value.
New York attorney James
B. Donovan, who has been
negotiating for the release of
the prisoners, flew to Miami
Sunday night. It was believed
here that he has requested
and received permission to go
to Cuba, presumably to work
out final details of the deal.
No firm information could
be obtained either here or in
Havana as to the travel plans
of Donovan or others in his
parly, including' Berta Bar
reto, Cuban go-between in the
negotiations.
