under technical arrest today after
his refusal TO testify in the grand
jury investigation Of the Fall-Sin-
clair jury surveillance scandal.

United States commissioner Turn
age where a complaint, similar to
the one previously lodged against
Harry +. Sinclair and another Of his
confidential agents, Henry Mason
Day, was made by Neil Burkinshaw,
assistant district attorney in charge
of the inquiry.

to testify then on the ground Of
fear Of self incrimination and was
recalled today so that a record might
