NEWBERRY CAMPAIGN
UP In SUPREME COURT
Validity of Federal Corrupt Prac-

Charges of violation of the Fed
eral corrupt practices act in the pri-
mary campaign of Truman Newberry

laid before the Supreme Court for
final decision yesterday.
The court was asked to free

Ludlow Street jail. New York. on a
charge of contempt Of court for re-
fusing to answer questions before
the grand jury which was investi-
eating the case.
The three men refused to answer
the questions on advice of counsel,
on the ground that the Federal cor
rupt practices act, many features of
which it was contended had already
been held unconstitutional, did not
authorize the Federal government
interfering in State primaries.
