S. Contempt Citations
Due Today AFTER Action
AGAINST Steve Nelson
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The House planned today to add
Sc contempt of Congress citations
to two already voted against wit
neses who defied the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
All are accused of refusing to
answer questions which the COM
mittee called pertinent to its in
vestigation of communism. These
included whether the witnesses
ever were members of the Com
munist Party or know persons who
have been linked by the committee
with Communist activity.
The voting of citations got un-
der way late yesterday.
The only dissent came from
Representative Marc cant toni o,
American-Labor, New York.
Mr.. Marcantonio said the wit
nesses were within their constitu-
tional rights in refusing to reply
to questions they contended might
tend to incriminate them.
Representative Walter, Demo-
crat. of Pennsylvania, said the wit
nesses offered only frivolous ex-
cuses" in refusing to aid the COM
mittee in its investigation of COM
muniSm.
The maximum penalty for con-
tempt Of Congress is a year in
jail and a $1,000 fine.
With the debate out of the way,
the HouSe-on a roll call de-
manded by Mr.. Marcantonio-
voted 372 to l to cite Julius
EmSpak for contempt. Emspak
is national secretary treasurer of
the United Electrical Workers, a
union expelled by the CIO for
following the Communist Party
line. Mr.. Marcantonio's was the
only no vote.
Next came Steve Nelson, Com
Party organizer for West
ern Pennsylvania. The committee
refers to him as "Steve Mesarosh,
alias Louis Evans, alias Steve
Nelson" He has been described
by the committee as a Communist
agent assigned to get atomic in
formation from the University of
California radiation laboratory.
This time there was no talk, no
roll call. The voice vote was unan-
imous.
Then Chairman Wood of the
committee called up the case of
Philip Bart, general manager of
the Daily Worker, Communist
Party newspaper.
The plan had been to put
through the rest of the citations
with the speed of the Nelson
case, but the House put them
aside until today.
