action and Communist front
groups but no one has registered.
The Attorney General has asked
the Subversive Activities Control
Boar to order the Communist
Party to register. The issue is
likely to reach the Supreme Court.
In deciding that, Mrs. Blau had
a right to remain silent before a
Federal grand jury, the Supreme
Court stated that the Smith Act
was in effect at the time. It's pro-
visions, the court said, made fu-
ture prosecution of Mrs. Blau "far
more than a mere imaginary
possibility"
No Ruling in Two Other Cases.
-"She reasonably could fear that
criminal charges might be brought
against her if she admitted en-
ployment by the Communist Par
ty or intimate knowledge of its
workings" Justice Black wrote.
The opinion added that it did
not matter whether any answers,
by themselves, would be sufficient
to support criminal conviction.
Justice Department lawyers OBJ
served that the Supreme Court
has not yet ruled on the appeal of
two other persons, including Mrs,
Blau's husband, who also were held
in contempt by the lower court for
refusal to answer questions before
the same grand jury. Their con-
victions and Jail sentences, rang
ing from four months to a year,
were upheld by the Court of Ap-
peals.
Department experts also noted
that the Supreme Court has not
yet announced whether it will re-
view a somewhat similar case
from California. In that in
stance the Court of Appeals re-
versed contempt judgment
against a man who refused to
answer grand jury questions on
the ground of possible self
incrimination.
Hearing Situation Different.
Circumstances were different to
some extent in that case, Justice
Department officials explained.
The witness had been instructed
by the judge to tell the grand
jury whether he knew whether
another man was Communist
Party officer.
Some Justice Department law
yers and Representative Walter,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, acting
chairman of the House committee,
believe that congressional COM
mittees might not be greatly, or
at least Immediately, affected by
yesterdays ruling by the Supreme
Court.
They explain that a committee
investigation and hearing differs
essentially from a court proceed
ing because no one is on trial at
committee hearings.
Moreover, they say, Congress
and it's committees derive their
powers directly from the Consti-
tuition, whereas most court proc
esses and grand jury proceedings
are based on the common law.
There also is a special law that
allows committees to give wit
nesses immunity from prosecu-
ton for testimony.
THAT makes a big difference" ,"
Mr.. Walter said.

service could oust a non-veterar
career worker with Is or more
years of service, under the terms
of the bill.
This, however. evoked the strong
protests of veterans organizations
and Congress failed to enact it.
Point System Possible.
Now, there is talk of working
out a point system in Government
observation-disclosures programs, ir
which veterans would still get con.
siderable preference, but not the
absolute preference that they nov
receive. Also, veterans who saw
overseas combat or who were in
jured or disabled would receive
preference over veterans who never
served overseas.
Also, the point system would be
Isc arranged that non-veteran en-
|ployes with many years of service
would be retained in their jobs
ahead of veterans with only few
years of Federal service.
The system would give all en-
ployes a certain number of points
for their years in Government
Veterans would get additiona,
points for military services. over
seas service, and disability.
In this way, veterans still woulc
have considerable preference over
non-veterans, but not to an alb.
solute degree.
A proposal along this line was
favored recently by the Nationa
Federation of Federal Employees al
its convention in Los Angeles
The NFFE is hopeful of getting
