Narrative Opinion Summary
Certiorari was granted for three cases involving significant constitutional and statutory issues: two cases (Nos. 8 and 464) arising under the Smith Act and one case (No. 537) under Title I of the Internal Security Act of 1950. The Court noted that the issues presented in these cases are interrelated, suggesting that the outcomes of the first two cases may influence the resolution of the third. The cases were initially set for argument on February 23, but due to scheduling conflicts, Nos. 8 and 464 have been rescheduled for October 10, 1960, to be followed by the argument in No. 537.
