Upholds Subver

WASHINGTON, (/P)—'The U. S.
court of appeals upheld the gov

groups “subversive.”
The 2-to-l decision had handed
down in the cast of the joint anti
fascist refugee committee which
had appealed to the courts after it
was included on attorney general
! Clark’s "subversive list” two years
ago.
The appeals court affirmed the
[ U. S. district court here indismiss

A list of alleged subsersive or
I ganizations was published by the
[ attorney general in connection
j with the loyalty check on federal
I employees.
Justice H. W. Edgerton filed
a sharp dissent. He said that since
the challenge was thrown out of
the district court on a simple mo
tion to dismiss, the appeals court
had to accept the statements of the
joint anti-fascist refugee commit
tee. It claimed it was a charitable
organization.
If this were true, Edgerton said,
l to call it subversive was damaging
and “contrary to fact.”
