Colds d'sCounseI Faces
Contempt in Quiz
OF Grand Jurors

A New York attorney for Ben
Gold. president Of the Interna-
tional Fur Workers Union, was
ordered to show cause yesterday
why he should not be held in
criminal contempt Of court.
The order. signed by Chief
Judge Bolitha j. Laws Of the
U. s. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia, charged Har-
old I. Cammer with "misbe-
havior."
He was ordered to appear
here at 10 am. May 81. He
will have to explain why he sent
an 18-point QUESTIONABLE to
nine members Of the grand jury
that indicted Gold for falsifying
a mont Communist affidavit.
Gold was convicted recently
and given q 1-to-3-year term
for denying his Red affiliations.
Former Representative Vito Mar
cantonio, American Labor Party.
of New York was associated with
Cammer in the Gold case.
Federal Employees Complain.
The court order grew out of
complaints from the nine Gov
ernment employees on the May,
1858, grand jury, who reported
to Justice Department Attorney
Joseph A. Lowther that they had
received questionnaires from
Cammer.
Mr.. Lowther turned his in
formation over to United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover and Oliver
Gasch, who investigated the case.
According to Mr.. GaSch, the
panel indicted Gold and several
officers of his union on August
%, 1853, on allegations of falsely
swearing to the National Labor
Relations Board they had never
been Communists.
Five weeks later, while the
grand jury was still impaneled,
the nine jurors employed by the
Federal Government received
special delivery letters signed by
Cammer.
Questions Cited.
The letters inclosed a ques-

Senate Ready 10 Vote
On Banning Changes
In High Courts Size
By J. A. O'Leory

The Senate may vote today on
q constitutional amendment to
protect the independence of the
Supreme Court by curbing the
power of Congress to change its
size or jurisdiction.
The. amendment, sponsored by
Senator Butler. Republican. Of
Maryland, also. would discourage
Justices from entertaining po-
litical ambitions. It would pre-
vent a member of the Supreme
Court from running for Presi-
dent or Vice President until five
years. or later after leaving the
court.
Senator Hennings, Democrat.
Of Missouri, was said by his office
to be planning speech against
the amendment today. but its
supporters expect it to pass.
3-Point Plan.
Highlights of the proposal
are:
/. Fix the number of justices
at nine, the number that has re-
mained unchanged since 1869.
2. Compel retirement of all
justices and judges at the age Of
IS, except judges serving for a
specified term.
3. Prevent Congress from with
drawing the authority of the
Supreme Court to consider con-
stitutional cases within its appel
late Jurisdiction, as occurred on
one occasion in 1868, when Con-
gresS eliminated the right of ap-
peal in habeas corpus cases at a
time when such a case was
awaiting decision by the Su-
preme Court.
Senator Butler told the Senate
yesterday that two attempts
have been made to affect the
Supreme Court by changing it's
size. He said the first attempt
originated in the reconstruction
Congress of 1866 and was sue
cesSful. It reduced the number

mittee. Mr.. Clardy said, recog-
nizes only the fifth amendment,
guaranteeing against self-in-
elimination, as a valid reason
for declining.
All five declined to answer the
direct questions: "Are you now
or have you ever been q member
of the Communist Party or of
any organization advocating the
overthrow of the Government
by force and violence?"
DR.. Harlan Hatcher, Michigan
president; said this was sufficient
grounds for the immediate sus-
pension Of Drs. Davis, Mar
kert and Nickerson pending an
investigation.
DR.. Hatcher said they had the
right of appeal to a special COM
mittee of the University Senate
before their cases go before the
Board Of Regents.
Witness Cut on.
Mr.. Sharp got of to a bad
start with Mr.. Clardy at once
by trying to make a statement.
Mr.. Clardy cut him of.
Asked If he were a member
of the Youth Labor League, Mr..
Sharp said: '"That is the kind
of question manufactured in
Nazi Germany. It is character
istic of Fascism. This commit
tee would destroy education.
You wish to use the Communist
label to destroy all liberal
thought.
Representative Scherer. Re-

member, charged that Mr.. Sharp
was "clearly in contempt OF
Congress"
Mr., Shaffer, who entered the
university in 1948 on the CT
bill after World War II service
in the Army, declined to answer
all questions about his employ
lnent, If he had ever been en-
ployed by the Communist Party
and if he had been employed by
the Chrysler Corp. in Detroit.
"You might decide Chrysler's

Michigan Suspends
; on Faculty Who
Defied Red Probers
BY the Assoeioied Press

LANSING, May IL. - Three
University of Michigan faculty
members were under suspension
today after they had refused to
answer questions by the House
Un-American Activities Subcom-
mittee.
One of the faculty members
and two students were recon-
mended for contempt citations
by the subcommittee after their
appearances yesterday.
The committee entered the
second day of hearings in LanS-
ing to hear John Hunter. Pontiac
attorney. Harold Shapiro Of the
independent Fur and Leather
Workers Union, Detroit. and
Richard L. Davis of Detroit, an
employe of the Concrete Wall Co.
Representative Clardy, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, committee
chairman, said the three were
all "unfriendly" witnesses.
Would Cite Three.
At the conclusion Of yester-
days session, the subcommittee
voted to recommend that the full
committee cite the following for
contempt of Congress:
Edward H. Shaffer. 81. of Ann
Arbor, graduate student in eco
nomicS at the university.
Byron E. (Mike) Sharp, Is,
university graduate student.
DR.. H. Chandler Davis, rs,
university mathematics instruc-
tor.
Mr.. Clardy said the subcom-
mittee would study further the
testimony of DR.. Mark Nickerson,
81, assistant professor of pharm-
acology, and DR.. Clement L.
Markert, 81, assistant professor
of Zoology, before deciding on
contempt proceedings.
Cites First Amendment.
Mr.. Clardy said Mr.. Shaffer
and Mr.. Sharp were in contempt
because of contenptuous atti-
tudes and answers and DR.. Davis
because he relied only on the
first amendment to the Consti-
tuition in declining to answer.
The first amendment guaran-
tees freedom of speech, press
