Forty- four have been convicted. The tac- tics of the first 11 convicted fol- lowed instructions laid down years ago. They were jailed. “And, since their conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court, the result may have bad a quieting, or diseourag- ing effect, on party members who went on trial later. In the early 1930s the Interna- tional Labor Defense, which for- mer Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle later called the “legal arm of the Communist party,’ issued a 31- Page paper bound booklet which sold at the time for 5 cents. ‘It has become so hard to find now that it is a collector’s item, selling for as much as $12. The cover shows a man in work clothes leaning over a judge’s bench and holding him up by the scruff of his neck. The judge has a dagger and a blackjack tucked in his belt. This booklet—the title on the cover is “Under Arrest! Workers’ Self-Defense in the Courts”—tells “workers” what to do when picked up by the police. So far as dealing with the police goes, the advice of the booklet can be summed up: “Tell ’em noth- ing.” But it goes into quite a bit of detail on how to act when in court, For example: “Make the court your forum. Bring out the class is- sues at the trial. In most cases the judge and prosecutor will try to evade the class character of the case.” And it further advises: “If you are charged with teaching ... overthrow of the government ... then it is absolutely necessary for you to use the court for a clear and correct explanation of the econo- mic and social views which you hold, of the facts of the class strug- gle as applied to your case.” . Eugene Dennis, one of the top 11 leaders convicted in the first trial, apparently followed the advice of the bogklet even to the title. He was his own defense counsel. The other 10 had lawyers. The trial of the 11, in Judge Har- old R. Medina’s Federa) Court, took 39 weeks. Five lawyers in the case drew jail sentences, rang- ing from 30 days to six months, for contemptuous conduct toward Medina. The 11 leaders got peni- tentiary terms. The Communists tried to turn the courtroom into a forum. Pro- Communists picketed outside, chanting. Heckled as probably no other judge in American history, Medina kept his temper. He knew ‘that if he blew up the men before him, if convicted by the jury, might win a new trial be- cause of his conduct. So he stayed calm although several times he left the bench until the wrangling died down. The next trial—five Communist second-string leaders and a party lawyer—was in Baltimore but was much quieter and lasted only six weeks. The six were convicted April 1, 1952. Fourteen leading California Com- munists were convicted next after a trial that lasted six months in a Los Angeles court before U. S. Judge William C, Mathes. In spite of its long-drawn-out nature the judge commended the defense counsel for “care and quality of FOR HOME or COMMERCIAL USE...
