Days to Answer on
Probe Suspension.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa. Aug. 9.-Chief
Justice John W. Kephart of the Penn
sylvania Supreme Court today issued
q rule which. in effect. halted both a
grand jury and a legislative investiga-
ton Of charges against Gov. George
H. Earle and 13 associates.
He gave the Dauphin County Court
10 days to show why the grand jury
deliberations. scheduled to start
Thursday, should not be suspended
until the Supreme Court has ruled on
the constitutionality of a program by
which the legislature sought to take
over the inquiry.
Judicial INVASION Seen.
The chief justice promised the stay
after Attorney General Guy K. Bard
appealed from a decision by Judge
Paul N. Schaeffer in the Dauphin
County Court that the grand jury
suspending program was an invasion
Of judicial power"
Bard also asked that Judge Schaeffer
be directed to lift an order impounding
evidence collected for the grand jury
inquiry by District Attorney Carl B.
Shelley.
Justice Kephart said this and the
constitutionality issue would be placed
before the entire Supreme Court.
Court Action Pledged.
He said the other members of the
court asked him to say that the Su-
preme Court is going to do everything
in its power to prevent any legislative
judicial conflict
He indicated the court might not be
able to take up the appeal until Sep
tember.
Representative Herbert Cohen, chair
man of the Legislative Investigating
Committee. said it probably would re-
cess until the Supreme Court hands
down a decision.
The charges the grand jury was to
study included political coercion. bri-
berry, blackmail and conspiracy to de-
fraud the Commonwealth.
