In reversing the convictions, the court declared that grand jury indictments in contempt of Congress cases must pin point the subject being inves tigated when the witness is questioned. For the majority, Justice Potter Stewart said: "In each case, the indictment returned by the grand jury failed to identify the subject under con gressional subcommittee in quiry at the time the witness was interrogated." Must Spell Out Purpose In recent years, the court has held that congressional committee's must clearly spell out the purposes of their in vestigations. Stewart pointed out in today's rulings that the court had never before decided whether a grand jury indictment must do the same. Stewart pointed out that many contempt cases previ ously decided by the court have pointed up the impor tance of determining wheth er the question addressed to the witnesses were pertinent. Stewart then developed the importance to an accused in dividual of an indictment by a grand jury. He said this is basic in common law going back to the 12th Century. Basic Principle Cited "The vice which inheres in the failure of an indictment (under the contempt statute) to identify the subject matter under Inquiry Is . . , the vio lation of the basic principle 'that the accused must be ap prised by the Indictment, with reasonable certainty of, the nature of the accusation against him . . .'

Sees Three New Seats Montgomery expects h 1 s party to capture at least three new state representative seats in November, putting Republi cans in control of the 1963 House, 32-28. House Speaker Robert B. Duncan (D-Medford) strongly disagreed. He predicted tiie Democrats will increase their present edge by at least three i seats, controlling the House in Salem next year, 34-26. ' I Although Duncan won't re turn as a state representative since he is running for con gress, he said he too has re viewed nominees for the Ore gon House and the chances of continued Democratic control are "excellent."
