Convicted Pair
Loses Appeal In
Supreme Court
WASHINGTON. May 29-UP)
The supreme court today stood pat
on its refusal to review the con
tempt of Congress convictions of
movie writers John Howard Law-
son and Dalton Trumbo.
Both refused to tell the House
un-American Activities committee
during its 1947 Reds-in-Hollywood
hearing whether they were mem
bers of the Communist party. They
were fined $1,000 each, and sen
tenced to a year in prison.
The U. S. court of appeals in
upholding the contempt convictions
declared Congress may abridge
freedom of speech and freedom to
remain silent "when legislating to
avert what it believes to be a
threat of substantive evil to na
tional welfare.
The supreme court b a 6-2 vote
on April 10 denied Lawson and
Trumbo a review of the court of
appeals decision. The Hollywood
writers then asked the high tribu
nal to reconsider its refusal. They
said, among other points, that they
are residents of California which
has laws guaranteeing the right
to refuse to state political affilia
tions. Today's vote also was 6-2. In
both instances. Justices Black and
Douglas favored a hearing. Jus
tice Clark took no part in consid
eration of the appeal.
Today's second refusal means:
1, The government now will ask
the U. S. district court here to
order Lawson and Trumbo to pay
their fines and go to prison.
2. The way is clear for the dis
trict court to dispose of the cases
of eight other prominent screen
figures similarly charged with con
tempt. At the time of the Lawson-Trum-bo
trial the eight agreed to accept
the law held to be binding in the
Lawson and Trumbo cases, and
to submit their cases to the dis
trict court for a decision on the
basis of the record. The eight:
Ring Lardner Jr., Albert Maltz,
Alvah Bessie, Samuel Ornitz, Her
bert Biberman, Edward Dmytryk,
Adrian Scott and Lester Cole.

tor KepuDiican inactivity."
B. Carroll Reece, former Tennes

Scott as GOP chairman. reDlied:
"He must be mad at me because
I led the revolt against his leader
ship of 'me-too-ism.' Scott, who led
the party to a political Waterloo in
1948 . . . seems to want to impute
to me the consequences of his own
action."

comments on domestic politics in
a television interview Sunday. He
said that if President Truman cam
paigned for Taft's Democratic oo-
1 ponent this fall
I think it would
