Dennis A. Healy, star Government witness in the seditious conspiracy trial of 17 Christian Front members and supporters, resumed his testimony in Brooklyn Federal Court today, relating that William Gerald Bishop, chief defendant, had said Brigadier-General Anderson and Lieutenant-Colonel Meany of the New York National Guard were members of the so-called Christian Front Action Committee.

Healy, who joined the Action Committee to report on its activities to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, amplified his account of the alleged plot to incite the Communists to revolution and seize control of the Government by staging a counter-revolution.
