Court Hits
Secrecy of
FBI Facts
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (.4'l—
U.S. Court of Appeals ruled
today•the government must pro
duce material documents, includ
ing FBI reports, in proceedings
before federal boards.
A sthree-judge panel agreed un-,
animously that the fundamentals
of fair play which apply in fed-'
eral courts also govern adminis-!
trative proceedings.
The ruling specifically applied'
to the government's seven-year
effort to require the Communist
party to register with the Justice
Department as a tool of Moscow.
The decision means the Subver
sive Activities -Control Board
must conduct still further pro
'
ceedings.
When the case gets back to the
board it must deride whether to
order the Justice Department to
bring in certain reports made to
the FBI by Mrs. Mary Stalcup
Markward, or delete her testi
mony entirely. .
"If this were a civil action in
a' court, or if it were a criminal
case, the party would be entitled
to the production of these re
ports," Judge E. Barrett Pretty
man wrote for the court.
"The question here is whether
production is one of the funda
mentals of fair play required in
an administrative proceeding. We
think that it is," he said.
Nixon Optimistic
On Current Stress
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8 (JP)—
Vice President Nixon said today
the current period of economic
and military stress is "no time to
throw in the sponge."
The vice president spoke at the
35th meeting of the American
Football Coaches Assn., held in
conjunction with the windup of
the annual conference of the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Assn.
Noting that "we are hearing a
lot of pessimistic talk today,"
Nixon said "the facts are these:
"The United States militarily is
stronger today than.any potential
aggressor. Our economy is basic
ally sound and produces three
times as much as does the Soviet
Union."
