In the case of Kent against Dulles the Court held that the State Department could not require every applicant for a passport to file a nonCommunist affidavit. In the case of Dayton against Dulles the Court held that the State Department could not refuse to issue a passport to a research physicist who had lived for 8 months with a Communist who was involved in the Julius Rosenberg spy network. and who was going to work in India with another Communist who had recently renounced his American citizenship. The Supreme Court has always been able to find a way to save Harry Bridges from deportation and to prevent his conviction of any offense growing out of his proCommunist and subversive activities. These are by no means all of the decisions by the Supreme Court striking down and nullifying antiCommunist safeguards. The apparent determination of the Supreme Court to tie the hands of the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities. of the Senate Committee on Internal Security. of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. of the State Department and other Federal agencies and departments. of the State courts and State legislatures. and the apparent determination of the Court to nullify the efforts of all those who are striving to stamp out this dangerous menace in our country. has created great concern and alarm from one end of the country to the other.
