Sentencing Of Lawso.
is Held Up Pending
New Trial Decision

Film Writer John Howard Lawson
remained free under $1,000 bond to-
day, as his attorneys prepared TO
move for q new trial Of the con-
tempt-of Congress charge on which
he was convicted by a District Court
jury yesterday.
Sentencing, meanwhile, was held
in allegiance. The 53-year-old seem
artist could be given q maximum
penalty of a $1,000 fine and q year
in jail on the misdemeanor convic-
ton.
The jury of eight women and four
men arrived at its verdict after
considering the case for hours and
Is minutes. Lawson stood with face
solemn while it was announced by
the foreman, Francis j. Rackey, 80,
of 4577 Macarthur boulevard NV,
division manager for an Office ma
chimes firm.
Defense Polls Jury.
Robert w. Kenny, chief of de-
fense counsel, requested that the
jury be polled. Each Juror replied,
guilty" as his name was called by
the clerk.
Justice Edward M Curran then
pointed out the offense was q mis-
demeanor and said Lawson could
remain at liberty until disposition
of any motions his attorneys cared
to file.
The stocky defendant smiled as
he said to reporters later:
This Is just the beginning of the
fight"
Mr.. Kenny said he would seek
the new trial but, in any event,
would be ready Monday for the
trial of Dalton Trumbo, whom he
also represents. Trumbo, also
screen writer, is the second Of nine
other film industry figures scheduled
to be tried on the same charge.
Questioned on Affiiiation.
All are accused of contempt in al
legedly failing to answer a ques-
tion as to whether they were or ever
had been members of the Commu-
mist Party. The query was put to
them during the Hollywood COM
probe of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
last october.
In his charge to the Lawson jury
yesterday, Justice Curran said its
principal task was to decide whether
Lawson answered the question, since
the court had decided, as matter
of law, the query was a proper one.
Mr.. Kenny, in final argument
lasting nearly two hours, had in
sisted the writer was trying to
answer and would have completed
his reply if he had not been ordered
from the witness stand by Chairman
Thomas of the committee.
Assistant United States Attorneys
Willitm Hitz and Oliver Dibble rep
resented the Government in the
case. Their only witness was Mr.
Thomas. Lawson did not take the
stand.
Justice Curran decided against
holding Ben Margolis of Los An
geles, one of the defense attorneys,
in contempt of court for accusing
the Judge of directing an improper
question at Mr.. Thomas. Mr.. Mar
golis assured Justice Curran yester-
day he had not meant to imply the
Judge had wrongful motive.
