To Hear Case Of
Reds Lawyers
Reverses Its 'Stond,
Will Review Conviction
Of Six for Contempt
By Robert K. WoIsh

The Supreme Court today re-
versed itself and agreed to hear
the appeal of six attorneys held
in contempt of court by Federal
Judge Harold r. Medina as a re-
suit of their conduct at the trial
Iof II Communist Party leaders in
I1949.
The II leaders were convicted
Iof conspiracy to teach and advo-
cate overthrow of the United
States Government and those
convictions were upheld last June
by the Supreme Court. At that
time the court refused to hear the
lawyers appeal.
After the lengthy trial in Fed
eral Court in New York City. Judge
Medina on October 13, 1949, hand
ed out contempt sentences against
five lawyers and Eugene Dennis,
Communist Party secretary. who
acted as his own attorney.
Dennis, Harry Sacher and Rich
ard Gladstein were given six
months each: Abraham j. Isser-
man and George w. Crockett, jr.,
four months, and Louis F. McCabe
80 days. Those contempt senten-
ces were upheld by the United
States Court of Appeals in New
York by a 2-to-1 decision in April,
1850.
Dennis now Is serving a FIVE
year prison sentence as a result
|of his conviction with the other
Communist Party leaders. Four
|of the II leaders jumped bail
after the convictions were upheld
by the Supreme Court and three
of them have not yet been found.
Clark Does Not Participate.
Justice Clark. who was attor-
.ney general at the time of the
prosecution of the Communist
leaders, took no part in the
courts action today granting re-
view Of the contempt judgment
against the lawyers.
The Court announced it would
limit review to a single question.
This was whether Judge Medina.
under Federal Court Rules, was
authorized to hand down a con-
tempt judgment and impose pun
ishment or whether contempt
should be adjudged and punished
only by some other judge and
after notice and a formal hearing.
The attorneys contended also
that Judge Medina erred in watt
ing until the end of the trial to
cite them for contempt. They
denied that they had been con-
temptuous in their conduct during
the trial.
