The four freed men were wearing Communist blue trousers and faded tan shirts without collars.

Cplonel Simpson greeted them warmly, saying that the American people have been waiting for this day for a long time. "Boy, so have we," the airmen replied.

High Court Ruling Pledged on Reds To Review Appeal On Registration WASHINGTON, May 31 (UP) The Supreme Court agreed today to decide whether the Communist Party must register with the Justice Department as a Moscow-controlled conspiracy aimed at overthrowing the U. S. Government. In a brief order, the court agreed review the Communist Party's appeal from lower court rulings upholding the constitutionality of the 19,30 Internal Security Act. This law, which the Communists contend would destroy their party in the United States, requires foreign-controlled subversive organizations to file complete membership lists and regular financial statements with the Justice Department, and imposes other stringent legal restrictions on their activities.

It was the first Federal law designed to crack down on the party as a whole rather than on individual members. The Subversive Activities Control Board has ruled that the Communist Party Is a foreign-controlled conspiracy as defined by the law and has ordered it to register accordingly. It is this ruling and the constitutionality of the law itselfthat the Communist Party Is challenging before the high tribunal. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on the case next fall.
