11 Top Commies
Denied Retrial
WASHINGTON, Oct. &—(AP)— The Supreme Court'today de
clined to reconsider its decision against 11 U. S. Communist party
leaders but agreed, to hear two other major cases affecting Com.-
munists’ rights.
The leaders, seven of whom now are serving prison sentences,
while four are fugitives, were
convicted of plotting to teach the,
violent overthrow of this govern-1
merit. Their lawyers asked the
Supreme Court to rehear the case
and reverse its decision of -last
June upholding the convictions., ,
The court did agree to rule on
(1) constitutionality of a section
of federal law requiring deporta
tion of aliens for past, member
ship in the Communist party; and
(2) whether aliens facing depor
tation may be held without bail
on a finding by'the attorney gen
eral that they have been, active
Communists.
The high tribunal took no ac
tion today on a petition for-fur
ther consideration to six attor
neys for the 11 Red leaders.
The attorneys were sentenced to
prison on contempt of court
charges. They were sentenced by
Federal Judge Harold Medina to
terms ranging. from one to six
months. The judge held they con
ducted themselves improperly m
court during the long, stormy
New York trial of the Red lead
ers. They had been granted a stay
of their terms pending the su
preme court’s decisiorfon the peti
tion. ' ..
Stassen
Says Reds
After India
WASHINGTON, Oct. B—(AF)
—Harold E. Stassen, charged to
day a Red “pattern of action!’ is
being cut out for the domination
of India, , just like the one that
led to the Communist conquest of
China.
Stassen also declared the record
makes it clear that the' State De
partment—despite denials by Sec
retary of State Acheson—played
a part in undermining Generalis
simo Chiang Kai-Shek’s Chinese
Nationalist regime.
Testifying before a Senate for
eign relations subcommittee, the
former Republican governor of
Minnesota said;/
“The ( denials by the State De
partment of things which I know
are true, the claims by the State
Department of thingp I know are
not true, leave me very uneasy

British Suez
Threatened
By Egypt
CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. B—(AP)
Egyßt announced tonight she is
cancelling her treaties with Britain
in an effort to drive the British out
of the Suez Canal area and the
Sudan.
(The Foreign Office in Lon
don said Britain would refuse to
recognize the one-sided cancella
tion of treaties providing for mu
tual defense and for joint rule of
the Sudan.
Embassy Issues Statement
' (The Foreign Office showed
signs, of shock that Egypt had
acted before, receiving new; pro
posals which Britain promised
over the weekend would be forth
coming. These proposals were be
lieved based on decisions reached
at the recent Ottawa Conference
of the North Atlantic Treaty, or
ganization to create a new Middle
East defense command. This plan
envisaged a compromise by which
a garrison from several nations
might hold the Suez, the ex
tremely important link between
the Mediterranean and the Or
ient.)
The British embassy in Cairo
tonight issued a statement saying
“a unilateral abrogation by the
Egyptian 1 government of the 1936
treaty with Great Britain has no
legal force since that-treaty con
tains no provisions for deuncia
tion at any time.”
No Negotiation Basis
It pointed out that the treaty is
to last for 20 years, after which
it might be renegotiated by either
party.

Approved by Senate
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 (&) The Senate approved two big
money bills—one authorizing a $7,483,400,000 foreign aid program
and another appropriating $1,744,000,000, largely for defense and
economic control activities.

toward a fall adjournment of
Congress.
However, senators debated all
afternoon on the smaller money
bill. It made cuts of a little less
than $7,000,000 in the amount
recommended by its appropria
tions committee.
The bill now goes to confer
ence between the House and
Senate. It is one of the 13 money
bills which must be disposed of
before Congress can quit this
year.

are: $790,000,000 for development
of strategic and critical materials,
$272,000,000 for the Atomic En
ergy Commission, $116,000,000 for
the Veterans Administration,
$192,000,000 for emergency agen
cies such as the Economic Stab
ilization Agency, and $290,000,000
for the Civil Defense Adminis
tration. _

gressional action on the foreign
aid measure. It now goes to Pres
