The tight lines about the mouth of United States Attorney John F.X. McGohey may have nothing whatever to do with the case of the eleven Communist leaders he is prosecuting under the Smith act. But it would be readily understandable if they were a direct effect, because to judge from the first few days of the trial the government is in for a long ordeal, almost as trying for itself as for the defendants-and more trying still for Judge Harold R. Meclina. In pursuit of these objectives the Communists' counsel launched the trial with a series of dilatory maneuvers which for more than a week prevented the selection of a single juryman.
