register as a tool of the Soviet Union by midnight tonight or face an avalanche of government legal action Atty Gen Robert Kennedy said over the weekend the party had notified the Justice Department it would ignore the deadline for registration under the 1960 Internal Security Act Thus the Justice Department expects another long round of legal fighting with the Cdmmu-msts But it has not yet been decided how or when the battle will start Party Must Register The law which1 Kennedy reiterated he would enforce requires the party to register with the Justice Department turn over the names and addresses of its officers and file a financial accounting and a list of its printing presses Kennedy told reporters that no decision has been made on what the government will do first The question of when to do- it has been complicated by other facets of the law If the party iteself does not register the law then requires that the party leaders register by midnight Nov 30 If they fail to register the burden then shifts to the entire- membership estimated at 10000 which would have to register by Dec 20 Might Delay Action The- government could if it wished seek an Indictment this week against the party if it fails to register But some persons have argued that the government would have a stronger case if it permits the full 30-day period to elapse before launching action Failure to comply with the law subjects the party its leaders and the membership to fines of $10000 a day for every day they fail to register In addition the individuals would be liable to five years in prison for
