• Status: Published

Opinions

Certiorari, 358 U. S. 917, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, reported below, 260 F, 2d 21; and

Certiorari, 361 U. S. 813, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, reported below, 262 Fv2d 501.

These two cases were set for argument on February 23 next. In the meantime there intervened the filing of the petition in No. 537; which we have just granted. Nos. 8 and 464 arose under the Smith Act (Act of. June 25, 1948, c. 645, § 2385, 62 Stat. 808) and No. 537 under Title I of the Internal Security Act of 1950 (Act of September 23, 1950, c. 1024, 64 Stat. 987). However, some of the constitutional and statutory issues raised by these two enactments are clearly interrelated and their determination in the two former cases may affect their determination in the latter' case and 'dice versa. Accordingly, the Court deems it important that these three cases be heard and considered together. Since the Court’s calendar for the remainder of the Term precludes this, Nos. 8 and 464 are reset for argument on Monday, October 10, 1960, to be followed immediately by the argument in No. 537.
