OIL0PERATOR
FACES THREE
MONTHS Term
Conviction By Senate
Committee For Con-
tempt Upheld By SUI
prerne Body

WASHINGTON, April 8.-(P)-
The conviction of Harry F.. Sinclair
for contempt for refusing to answer
questions during the Teapot Dome
investigation by the senate oil conf
mittee was approved today by the
supreme court.
Under the decision the oil opera
tor must serve three months in jail
and pay fine of $500.
Justice Butler spoke for the court.
Emphasizing the Importance Of
protecting the individual from un-
reasonable and arbitrary disclosure
of his private affairs, he said ques-
tions put to Sinclair were not of
that character.
Questions Pertinent
The fact that information sought
by the committee might be of i'm
portance in a suit pending against
Sinclair did not excuse him from
answering, tie justice stated, be-
cause the information was properly
within the inquiry of the commit
tee and the questions were peril
nent.
Justice Butler stated the court in
its decision in the Nal S. Daugherty
case had laid down the rights of
the two houses of congress to con-
duct Investigations necessary to aid
legislation but that neither house
had the right to inquire into the
private affairs by requiring dis
closures not in aid of legislation.
During the investigation of the
naval oil reserve leases by the sem
ate committee, Sinclair testified
several times, but refused to answer
certain questions concerning the
Teapot Dome lease, taking the po-
sition that because a grand jury
was considering indictments, the
senate committee had lost jurisdic-
ton.
His counsel contended that as
