Justice Pine Denies
Defense Motion for
Trumbo' S Acquitta|

District Court Justice David A
Pine today denied a defense motion
for acquittal of Dalton Trumbo
film writer, on trial for contempt
Of Congress.
The motion for acquittal was
based on a defense argument that
the Government had not shown the
questions Trumbo is accused of
having failed to answer before a
House committee were pertinent to
the committees inquiry.
Trumbo is charged with having
refused to answer questions as to
whether he was a member of the
Screen Writers Guild or the Com
munist Party baore the House
Committee on Un-American Activ-
tiles hearing on communism in the
motion picture industry.
Charles Katz, one of Trumbo's at
torneys. argued that to justify legis-
lative inquiry it is necessary to show
the potential threat to the Govern
ment.
mo rational man could assert that
potential threat to the United
States exists from membership ir
the Screen Writers Guild" Mr.. Kats
declared. 1T is a duly certified col.
lective bargaining agent for screer
writer's in Hollywood"
ITO suggest that membership ir
the guild or that the guild itsel.
could conceivable constitute a po.
tential threat to the security of oul
Nation is to suggest there is ne
meaning in the language that 6
private citizen still has certain rights
as against congressional investi-
gatory body"
Mr.. Katz said ii seemed to hin
that agreeing with the Govern
ment lis to suggest there is simply
no limitation on the congressional
power of investigation of any citi-
zen"
Mr.. Katz said that to justify the
question on communism it WoulC
be necessary for the Government tc
show there is something in the mo-
tion-picture industry which con.
stituted a potential threat to the
security of the Nation.
Appeals Decision Cited.
Referring to recent Court OF
Appeals decision holding that the
Un-American Activities Committee
could ask person whether he was
a Communist. Assistant United
States Attorney William Hitz ar
gued 'it would be ridiculous to
say that you could ask a man
whether he is Communist, but
can't ask, where do you operate"
Representative Mcdowell, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, was to re-
turn to the witness stand later to-
day.
Mr., Hitz said he also expects
to call Lewis Deschler, parliament
tartan of the House, and Robert E

ties.
Mr.. Hitz questioned Mr.. McDow-

of the questions Trumbo is charged
