YoungdahI Dismisses
Patterson Case Of
Contempt Of Congress

District Court Judge Luther w.
Youngdahl late yesterday dis
missed contempt Of Congress
charges against William L. Pat
terson. executive secretary Of the
Civil Rights Congress.
Judge Youngdahl based the dis
missal on recent three Judge tri-
bunal ruling, which held certain
sections Of the lobbying act itself,
providing for prosecution under it,
are unconstitutional.
The charges against Mr.. Patter-
son. who is colored, were dis
missed as he came up for retrial

ing him Of failing to produce GER

Had Sought Records.
The committee had sought rec
ordS relating to finances of Pat
terson's organization and activi-
ties of its officers, employees and
others pertaining to legislation.
Judge Youngdahl expressed the
view that in the light Of the re-
cent three judge court ruling on
the lobbying act, Mr.. Patterson
could not be convicted of the con-
tempt charge.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney William Hitz argued before
the court that Mr.. Patterson was
not charged with violating the
lobbying act and that, therefore,
it did not matter whether the
lobbying act was constitutional or
not. MIR. Hitz pointed out that
Mr.. Patterson was accused Of fail
ing to produce records before the
House Committee on Lobbying
Activities.
MarcantOniO Contention Upheld.
But Defense Attorney Vito Mar
cantonio, former Representative
from New York, argued that the
investigation by the committee
came as a result of the lobbying
act. He was sustained in this
view by Judge Youngdahl, who

NEW Y0RK-NC)-More than
100000 pounds Of clothing, blan-
kets and shoes were collected in
the Bishops emergency clothing
campaign conducted in Catholic
churches throughout the United
States during Thanksgiving week,
according to an announcement by
Msgr. Edward E. Swanstrom, exec
utive director of War Relief Serv-
ices-National Catholic Welfare
Conference, under whose auspices
the campaign was conducted.
Monsignor Swanstrom said that
$500, 900 pounds of these needed
materials already are on their way
to the suffering people in Korea,
the refugees and expelleeS in Ger
many, Austria, Italy and other
Western European countries, and
to hundreds of thousands of ref
ugees in the Middle East. Ship
ments have also gone forward for
thousands of refugees in Hong
Kong and Formosa.
Because of the great suffering
in war-torn Korea, nearly 1.500, 1000
pounds of materials have been for
warded to that area" Monsignor
Swanstrom stated. Similarly be-
cause of the suffering occasioned
by the recent floods in Italy, an
equally large shipment was for
warded to that country for distri-
button through the Pontifical Com
mission of Assistance. A shipment
was made to those who were vic
Tins of volcanic eruption in the
Philippine Islands.
"The tremendous response to
this campaign by the good people
of the United States" Monsignor
Swanstrom said, ''is an indication
of their continuous sympathy for
the suffering that is going on in
other parts of the world and of
their desire to lend the sufferers
every possible assistance.
