It stopped raining in Sub

and Sublimity firemen rushed,
lo their first grass fire of the
year.
"It's hard to believe," As
sistant Chief Delbert Diiter
said, "but a roaring fire got
started in a. patch of dead
grass that had been rained on
all week."
Diiter said thai the blaze
burned over an area 75 by 200

for stirring up the fire. Cause

any conspiracy" during his 13
years of party membership
He refused to name his party
associates, even after , Subcom
mittee Chairman James O. East
land (D-Miss.) ordered him to
do so. He contended that the
subcommittee's authority to in
quire into the beliefs and associa
tions of private citizens is "lim
ited." "I feel I cannot answer un
authorized questions that would
cause others harm and embar
rassment," Whitman said
Shelton was asked by subcom
mittee1; counsel : J. Gsgowwine
whether he is a Communist.
Shelton refused to answer. He
did not invoke the Fifth Amend

Instead, Shelton read a long
statement which said he is a
loyal American but added: "This
subcommittee is nudging the end
of my copy pencil, it is peeking
over my shoulder as I work.
"This subcommittee is engen
dering the fear that soon it will
be looking into news rooms all
over the country," he said.
In refusing to state whether
he is a Communist, Shelton in
voked the First Amendment,
which guarantees press freedom,
and challenged the authority of
the subcommittee to question
him.
Subcommittee Chairman James
O. Eastland (D-Miss.) overruled
Shelton's objections and ordered
him to answer under the threat
of a contempt of Congress cita
tion. Shelton still refused.
