	Smith Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Act was proposed by Congressman Howard W. Smith of Virginia, a Democrat who supported the poll tax and was a leader of the "anti-labor" bloc of Congressmen.
		Several weeks later, twenty-eight people, either members of the SWP or Local 544 (or both) were indicted by a federal grand jury with violation of the 1861 Sedition Act, which had never before been used, and the 1940 Smith Act.
		After initially supporting the Smith Act, and refusing to aid SWP members first targeted, members of the Communist Party USA began facing prosecution beginning in 1949 under the law.

	In re Smith - March 11, 1997
		Smith contends that the record shows that neither a registration revocation nor a trading ban is necessary to protect the public interest.
		Smith also argues that the Division's aggravation evidence should be discounted because it involved trades for which he was not convicted and there was no showing of intent to harm any of the customers.
		The ALJ correctly concluded that Smith's felony conviction constituted a statutory disqualification from registration pursuant to Sections 8a(2)(D) and (E) of the Act, and Smith does not dispute that his felony violation consequently raised a presumption that he is disqualified from registration.

	About the Smith Act Trials
		The Alien and Registration Act of 1940 was proposed by Congressman Howard Smith of Virginia, a poll tax supporter and a leader of the anti-labor bloc in Congress, and is generally referred to as the Smith Act.
		The successful use of the Smith Act by the Truman administration against the top leaders of the Communist Party drove a large stake into the heart not only of the Party but of every organization in which the Communists had been active and influential.
		Those positions gravely undercut the credibility of the Party's efforts in the 1950s to characterize the Smith Act as unconstitutional and to mobilize a defense on the basis of political free speech and freedom of association.

	Lifetimetv.com: Our Lifetime Commitment - Stop Violence Against Women
		But Smith's idyll was shattered by the man who broke into her house, blindfolded her and forced her outside, into the woods behind her house, where he raped her repeatedly.
		Thanks to her husband, Smith did all the things a rape victim should do: She immediately went to the authorities, who collected what's known as a rape kit — samples of fluid and hair left by the rapist, which can reveal his DNA (or unique genetic makeup).
		The Justice Department reports that there are approximately 150,000 to 500,000 rape kits nationwide that have yet to be analyzed because law enforcement officials are short on both the funds and the skilled personnel necessary to process the kits and match the evidence collected to existing DNA samples of known criminals.

	Prentice Hall Documents Library: Smith-Hughes Act (1917)
		Although the Act’s intent was to avoid "raiding" of vocational funds by other segments of the comprehensive high school, the result was to separate the vocational education program from the mainstream of a school’s operations.
		The 1917 Act was virtually silent on manpower projections and on centralized assignment of training quotas to school districts.
		It is surprising to note that almost 50 years after the Smith-Hughes Act, in spite of all the intervening changes, the definition and purpose of vocational education as set out in the new VEA remained largely the same.
