Not For Public,
Judge Says

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Nov. 19.-tP)
An ominous quiet settled over the
grand jury investigation Of the gov
ernment's charges Of jury tamper-
ing in the Fall-Sinclair oil conspir-
acy trial as the jury reconvened in a
short session today without taking
up anything in connection with the
case.
Assistant District Attorney Burkin-
shaw said that while the grand jury
was devoting its time to other eases
the government still was carrying on
its investigation into charges that
efforts had been made improperly TO
influence the Fall-Sinclair trial jury.
This inquiry he said might not be
completed for several days.
But the silence that marked the
grand jury investigation was broken
BY an order from Justice Siddons, of
the District Of Columbia supreme
court who in an order removing Dis
trict Attorney Gordon's name from
d committee he had appointed 10 in
vestigate possible contempt Of his
court in the mistrial Of the conspir-
acy case announced that correspon-
dence between himself and Gordon
had been made public without his
permission.
The justice further ordered that
the exchange between himself and
Gordon should be made part Of the
record Of the contempt order.
The correspondence included Cor
don's letter asking Justice Siddons
10 permit him TO withdraw from the
committee. This committee. now COM
posed Of John Il. Laskey and James
r. Easby-Smith. was instructed TO in
vestigate events leading up to the
mistrial on the conspiracy case and
determine whether there had been
contempt of court.
