Ferguson Pushes Communist Bill WASHINGTON, April 9 (2?)— Sen. Homer. Ferguson (R-Mich) asked Congress today to declare by law that Communists, by re maining Communists, voluntarily sacrifice their U.S. citizenship. "This bill would . . . mean the end of the Communist party," Ferguson said •in a statement marking the introduction of the measure with Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine) as co sponsor. "It would not outlaw the party as such, but for all practical pur poses would destroy it." Citizens now have the right -of expatriation—the right to aban don their citizenship voluntarily. Ferguson's bill would allow the federal courts to declare that any individual found in a civil trial to have remained a Communist has automatically exercised that expatriation right.
