.Scherer Is Acquitted
BY Judge Matthews Of
Contempt Of Congress

Marcel Scherer, a reputed prin-
cipal organizer for the Communist
Party, today became the 14th de-
fendant to be acquitted of con-
tempt of Congress charges this
year for refusal to answer con-
gressional committee questions.
District Court Judge Burnita S
Matthews returned the verdict
after a day and half of trial
This series of prosecutions has led
to only four convictions. Another
case resulted in hung jury.
Scherer appeared before the
House Un-American Activities
Committee investigating Com
activities last June. He re-
fused to answer a series of ques-
tions claiming possible self in
elimination, and So Of these ques-
tions were incorporated into the
indictment.
Government Prosecutor William
Hitz argued that since Scherer
had answered one key question
asked by the committee. he had
no right to refuse answers to GER
tain follow-up questions.
Scherer had acknowledged to
the committee that he organized
a local of the Federation of Ar
chitectS, Engineers, Chemists and
TechnicianS, alleged to be a Red
dominated union, in the Univer-
sity of California radiation lab
oratory during the i940s. He was
indicted on his subsequent refusal
to tell the committee who be-
longed to that local.
Judge Matthews ruling went
along the same lines of the other
acquittal rulings. She held that
because of the setting of the
committee hearings Scherer had
a reasonable fear that his answers
might incriminate him.
