But this is no perfect protection. For example: suppose you admitted to a congressional committee you had violated a federal law. True, what you said to the committee could never be used against you in court. And you couldn't be charged with a crime on the basis of what you told the committee. But the FBI could use what you said as a lead, go out, dig up evidence on its own. Then you could be charged and the FBI edence, not your congressional testimony, would be used at your trial. .

So if you hide behind that Fifth amendment you can refuse to an swer on the grounds that: "What I say may tend to incriminate me (that is, lead to my arrest, trial and imprisonment). Must Have Reason But you can't even use that "out" unless you really have some reason for fearing your answer might incriminate you. You just can't use its a trick for refusing tonswer. And if you use it, and congress doesn't think you have a good rea son for it, you can be cited for contempt and tried. Then it's up to jury to decide tfcethcr you really mifbV have beert incrimi nated by answering.

Nina "Honeybear" Warren, 17, daughter of Gov. EarWVarrcn, was elected Wednesday. The cl:e)s likes the spirit of the girl who is con valescing from an attack of polio. Along with Christmas gifts, the class sent a letter to Nina saying: "We Sought our humble offer of mawlig you our 'sweetljjart' i would bring a little more joy to . you.

She was found guilty of con tempt and sentenced to a year in jail. She appealed to the supreme court. And this week the court ruled: She souldn't have been held in contempt and had a right to re fuse to answer on the grounds she might incriminate herself. Why? Because, the court said, she had rosoii to fear prosecution under the Smith act if she admitted mem bership in, or knowledge of, the Communist party. But right now 20 people stand indicted in Washington on a charge of contempt for having refused to answer congressional committees' questions about Communism. Does the Supreme court decision mean the government will have to drop I its charges against all these I people? Not at all. jO',i,i h. ,w . -niwai rJ" nruwucr, lormer neaa r .
