Red Registration Is Not legal Daly Says

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

City Councillor John D. Lynch's Communist registration bill ended in defeat yesterday when City Solicitor John A. Daly told the City Council that "there is no law under which the chief of police can require Communists to register or call people before him to determine their opinions."

City Solicitor Daly also said last week that the "Reeducate" list naming 68 faculty members as "Communists, Communist sympathizers, or fellow travelers," could not be legally distributed to the nine councillors and to the chief of police.

Lynch said that he is satisfied with Daly's opinion. "I think he gave a good opinion," he said.

But Lynch said that this will not end his anti-Communist bills. "By the good grace of the Lord that made me," he said, "I'll drive all the Reds out of Cambridge."
