Legislature Passes
Anti-Communist Bill
HARRISBURG, Dec. 10—(?P)—Legislation outlawing the Com
munist party in Pennsylvania received final approval of the General
Assembly tonight.
The House , which originally passed the bill making membership
in the adimunist party a felony, approved by a unanimous vote
Senate amendments and sent it to Gov. John S. Fine for signature.
The anti-Communist bill would
impose a maximum jail sentence
of 20 years or a maximum fine of
$lO,OOO for anyone "who parti
cipates in the revolutionary ac
tivities of the Communist party."
The legislation was introduced
in the General Assembly under
bi-partisan sponsorship, with the
backing of State Supreme Court
Justice-Elect Michael A. Mus
manno, Pittsburgh Democrat.
Rep. H. G. Andrews, Demo
cratic floor leader, although vot
ing for the bill, expressed the
belief that it would not reduce
the number of Communists.
"There will be . just as many
Communist floating around," he
said. "What will they do? They
c)uld very well organize as other
parties."
Rep. Edwin W. Tompkins' (R.
Cameron) replied that the mea
sure not only outlaws the Com
munist party "but makes it ille
gal for persons to advocate over
throw of the government by vio,
lence."
The bill . sent to the Governor
would: •
1. Make it unlawful for the
Communist party to receive any
of the privileges of an incorpor
ated body in the State.
2. Prohibit membership in the
party in Pennsylvania.
3. Prohibit anyone from tak
ing part in the "revolutionary ac
tivities of the Communist Party"
or any other party committed to
the overthrow .of th e United
States Government.
