Conviction Reversed
In Case Of 7 Failing
To Produce Records
AppeoIs Court Decides
On Refugee Committee
Action at House Hearing

The United States Court OF APP
peals. In q al decision. today re-
versed the District Court convic-
ton OF two persons accused OF
failure to produce records OF the
Joint Anti Fascist Refugee Com
mittee before the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities In
l946.
The majority held that the
question Of whether a quorum OF
the committee was present at the
time Of the alleged failure should
have been submitted to the jury.
The defendants involved were
Miss Helen r. Bryan. executive
secretary of the refugee commit
tee. and Mrs. Ernestina @. Fleisch-
man, a member. Each was SEN
fenced by Judge Richmond B
Keech last April TO serve three
months and to pay a $500 fine
/ for contempt of Congress.
| Conviction Of IL Affirmed.
/ Earlier, the Court OF Appeals
had affirmed the conviction OF
II other persons on the same
charge. The Supreme Court re-
! fused to certify the case, but q
petition for rehearing is now
pending.
/ Miss Bryan was not member
of the governing body OF the re-
fugee committee. and was named
in a separate indictment from the
others. Mrs. Fleischman was out
of the country when the others
were tried.
/ According to the evidence. the
opinion of the appellate court
noted, Mrs. Fleischman appeared
before members Of the congress
sional committee April 4. 1916, but
did not produce the records, testi-
| flying they were not In her posses
sion or control. Miss Bryan. the
court noted, was custodian OF the
records and refused TO produce
them.
Prettyman Dissents.
Judge z. Barrett Prettynan dis
sented from the opinion Of Judges
Henry w. Edgerton and James NJ.
Proctor on the quorum question.
holding 1t was immaterial 10 the
issues presented by the case.
The majority held that the de-
PENDANTS could not comply with
the summons TO produce records
before the congressional commit
tee unless the committee met.
adding that failure TO do what
cannot be done is not q willfui
crime. Neither Is failure. how
ever expressed. TO desire and at
tempt IL.
Judge Prettyman. on the other
hand. wrote that IL the judge had
said that q quorum need not have
been present under the eircurn-
stances. he would have been cor
rect. He held there was no error

J. Earl Whitley, former prin-
cipa1 of the Florence Elementary
school, has been appointed by
County Superintendent E. D.
Idol, as supervisor of Negro ru-
raj schools of Guilford County.
Prof. Whitley is a 1882 graduate
Of A.: g. =. College inSkhe field of
natural sciences. His first posi-
ton after graduation was that of
principal Of Benson Elementary
school in Benson, N. c., which he
held for two years. During that
time the faculty.was composed of
six teachers. In. 1885 he was ap-.
pointed to the principalship &of
Florence Elementary and High
school in Guilford County, sue
ceeding Walter McNair. He serv-
ed in that capacity for IA years,
with the exception of three
years, 1943-46, at which time he
served in the u. S. Army as spe-
cial instructor in a special train
ing corps, and one year at Co.
lumbia University at which time
he received his Masters degree
in Supervision and Administra-
ton. He has also done further
study toward a professional GER
tificate.
During Prof. Whitley's princi-
palship at Florence school, the
teaching staff grew from a five
teacher school to a nine in 1943,
and from a non-standard high
school to a standard in the same
year. Through his administration
he has been able to organize a
a more coherent school commun-
ity through the cooperation of
the Parent Teacher organiza-
tions, and especially the PIT. A.
