Sets Bail For Con
victed Communists
NEW YORK, </P) — The U. S.
Court of Appeals ruled yesterday
that the 11 top American commun
ists convicted of conspiracy may
be released in bail pending appeal
of their case.
The court ruled that seven could
be released in $20,000 bail each
and four in $30,000 bail apiece.
The government originally ask
ed that their total bail be set at
$1,000,000.
An opinion handed down by
were Clarence Anderson, Territo
rial commissioner of fisheries; j
Lester Roberts of the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood; E. B. Erickson,
Territorial executive secretary of
the Alaska federation of labor; at
torney William Paul. Sr., for the
Native Brotherhood; Harry Doug
las, mayor of Hoonah; Andy Bar
low, of the United Trailers and
Alfred White, a fisherman.
At a noon luncheon by the
chamber of commerse, the Con
gressmen predicted the proposed
Alaska development act never
would have a chance of passing
Congress.
Judges Learned Hand, Thomas W.
Swan and Jerome M. Frank said
that bail was being set because
the government “conceded that
the appeal herein raises a “sub
stantial question’.”
Bail of $30,000 was set for Eu
gene Dennis, John B. Williamson,
Jacob Stachel, and Irving Potash.
$20,000 bail was fixed for Rob
ert G. Thompson, Benjamin J. Da
vis, Jr., Harry Winston, John
Gates, Gilbert Green, Carl Winter
and Gus Hall.
Previously the government had
asked $100,000 bail each for Den
nis, Potash, Stachel, Williamson,
Hall, Green and Thompson. It
recommended $75,000 bail each
for Davis, Winston, Gates and
Winter.
Irving S. Shapiro, special as
sistant to the U. S. attorney, told
the court of appeals last Tuesday
in urging the high bail for the
communists that “men like that
cannot be relied upon (to surren
der) if their convictions are con
firmed."
At the end of the trial the pros
ecution described the 11 as poten
tially great security risks.
The 11 were convicted of con
spiracy to advocate violent over
throw of the U. S. government.
