BURTON, J., Concurring Opinion

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES


354 U.S. 298

Yates v. United States

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT


No. 6 Argued: October 8-9, 1956 --- Decided: June 17, 1957 [*]

MR. JUSTICE BURTON, concurring in the result.

I agree with the result reached by the Court, and with the opinion of the Court except as to its interpretation of the term "organize" as used in the Smith Act. As to that, I agree with the interpretation given it by the Court of Appeals. 225 F.2d 146.

MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN and MR. JUSTICE WHITTAKER took no part in the consideration or decision of this case. [p339]
