arguments, perhaps late in De.
cember, on whether Federal Judge
Harold r. Medina went beyond
his authority and due process OF
law in slapping contempt sem
tences on six lawyers at the l94s
trial of II Communist Party

In a comparatively rare move
the high court yesterday reversed
its refusal of last June and agreed
to review the appeal of the at
torneys from jail sentences rang
ing from one TO six months.
The tribunal, however, limited
the review to one question instead
OF eight specific points raised by
the attorneys. The question is
whether Judge Medina had au-
thority to determine and punish
contempt as he did after the close
OF the trial, or whether contempt
could be "adjudged and punished
only by a judge other than the
accusing one and after notice.

Mr.. Seddon was told last week

It was the third such note in the

Francis D. Flanagan said. It will
be the first phase Of a preliminary
Inquiry ordered by Chairman

lima.
After newspaper disclosures. Mr..
Shaver explained yesterday that
he and Mrs. Bratton asked RFC
lin May. 1850. to approve q $l.1
million loan for construction Of
Ia projected Chalfonte Hotel at
Miami Beach, Fla. They also
urged RFC In June. 1850. to lend
I$325, 900 to the Mercury Record
Iof Chicago. he said. Mr.. Shaver
told reporters he had done
nothing wrong and was making
mo apologies.
Returning to See Barkley.
Mrs. Bratton was said, at her
home in Cold Spring. KY. to be
returning to Washington to talk
to Mr.. Barkley. The Vice Presi-
dent said he had no comment at
this time because II haven't had
Ia chance to talk to her to get her
side Of the story"
Senator Hoey's move for a pre-
liminary inquiry came at the re-
quest of Senator Sparkman. Dem
ocrat. of Alabama. chairman of
the Small Business Committee.
Senator Sparkman's request dealt
with Mr.. Shaver. He noted that
both loan transactions occurred
before Mr.. Shaver was employed
as committee counsel.
Mr.. Flanagan said that in ac-
|cordance with the subcommittee's
usual procedure, he and some
members Of the subcommittee will
talk with Mrs. Bratton as well as
Mr.. Shaver ''as soon as it can be
arranged" He added that he
would let developments determine
whether the subcommittee would
discuss the matter with MIR.

Iings will be scheduled.

Earlier yesterday Senators Thye,
Republican. of Minnesota, and
|Schoeppel, Republican, Of Kansas,
demanded that Mr.. Shaver be
suspended pending an investiga-
ton.
The Chalfonte loan, although
approved after several reflections
by RFC directors, never was COM
pleted. The apr licants. a group
of Detroit businessmen, rejected
terms of the loan last January.
Mr.. Shaver said. He added that
he entered the picture at the re-
quest Of an "old friend" Sam

To Head Army Unit Of
National Guard Bureau
By WiIIiom J. WheotIey


Brig. Gen. William II. Aben-
droth, commanding general o1
the District National Guard, yes
terday was named by President
Truman to be chief of the Army
division Of the National Guard
Bureau in the Army Department
The appointment is subject to
Senate confirmation when Con-
gress convenes In January.
Gen. Abendroth, 56. takes the
position made vacant by the ap-
pointment Of Mai. Gen. Raymond
A. Fleming to become chief OF
the bureau. These positions must
be filled by National Guard off,
GERS.
Changes Required.
The appointment and call to
active duty in the bureau does not
require the appointee to give up
his command or assignment.
However, in the case Of the Dis
trict Guard it will require some
change. Gen. Abendroth came
into command of the District
Guard after a period of internal
strife. The President turned the
matter over to the Army Depart
Iment to handle as a result of the
dispute.
At that time Gen. Abendroth
was chairman of the Section 5
Committee which sets up National
Guard policies at the Pentagon
level. He was selected to take
command Of the Guard and
placed on active duty as an officer
of the Guard bureau and detailed
here. He was the first paid COM
|manding general Of the District
Guard.
Entitled to Adjutant General.
Under the law, the local Guard
lis entitled to have an officer of
the Army detailed here as adju-
tant general, and up until Gen.
Abendroth's appointment this had
been done over long period Of
years. However. with a paid gen.
erd here the Army did not assign
an adjutant general.
But with the appointment to
the Pentagon. Gen. Abendroth said
that it will be necessary for the
President to detail an Army officer
to take up full-time administra-
tive duties Of the local Guard. He
does not know who will be as
signed here. but undoubtedly will
be consulted concerning the ap-
pointment.
Gen. Abendroth indicated that
he would take a short period of
leave before reporting to his new
Pentagon assignment.
Son of Army Man.
He was born at Fort Meade, S.
OAK. December "a, 1895, while his
father. an Army man. was serving
in the Indian country. Most of his
early education was obtained
under difficulties as his father was
shifted from post to post In the
west. He finally came to Fort
Boise. Idaho. in 1907. where the
family settled down.
In June, 1915. Gen. Abendroth
entered the Idaho Guard as a pri-
yate. He went to France in World
War ! with the 116th Engineers
serving until 1919. He re-entered
the Guard in 1927. as captain of
a troop Of cavalry, which he COM
manded for 13 years.
He was called to active duty In
World War II and assigned to the
9Th Corps at Fort Lewis, Wash.
He served later in Hawaii, the
Philippines and Japan.
Returning from active duty he
became adjutant general of the
Idaho Guard in 1916, and subse-
quently resigned to resume active
duty here with the guard policies
