In 1957, the Supreme Court voted 6 to 1 against the contempt-of-Congress conviction of John Watkins, onetime official of the Red-led Farm Equipment Workers International Union, who had refused to answer House un-American Activities Committee questions about Communism.

The Communists (21) gained a seat; so did the Red-lining Nenni Socialists (11). But the biggest gains were made by Milazzo, who captured a pivotal nine seats...
...revival of the techniques of Gandhi that won India its independence, thousands of demonstrators last week began a nonviolent mass defiance campaign designed to oust the floundering Red government of Kerala (pop. 13.5 million), India's only Communist-ruled state. Shops and factories closed and the docks of Cochin port were idle. In the streets of Trivandrum, Kerala's capital, a 1½-mile-long procession waved black banners and chanted, "Red rule is killer's rule...
