The contempt of Congress con-
viction of Mrs. Mary Jane
Keeney, a former United Nations
employee, was reversed today on
grounds that the trial jury should
not have been allowed to- hear
testimony linking her to com
munism.
The U. S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia
ordered a new trial.
Mrs. Keeney, a New Yorker,
was convicted March II. 1858,
of refusing to tell the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee
whether any one in the State
Department had helped her get
the U. N. job. She based her re-
fusal on the grounds that silence
in such matters was mandatory
by U. N. regulations. Following
her conviction. she was given a
one-year suspended sentence and
fined $3.50.
The three appellate court
judges who heard the case,
Edgerton, Danaher and Pretty
man. agreed that the conviction
should be set aside and a new
trial ordered because of the
"prejudicial" testimony heard by
the jury.
Within U. N. Rules.
In addition. Judge Edgerton,
who wrote the main opinion,
speaking solely for himself held
that Mrs. Keeney was within her
rights in declining to answer, by
virtue of the U. N. rules.
His viewpoint on this was con-
CURED in partially by Judge
Prettyman, who said her refusal
was justified if the answer only
could have been given through
knowledge cleaned from U. N.
files. But, he said. if she had
received the information as to
who aided her from outside
sources her silence was not justi-
fed.

and Irving Davis. New York law

perrin, an attorney occupying

Appeal Court Voids Conviction
Of Mrs. Keeney in Contempt

stances, Judge Prettyman said,
"the question of whether Mrs.
Keeney intentionally refused
to answer, or merely raised a
question as to her ability to ans
werf under binding legal compul-
sior1S, was q question to be de-
termined by the jury from all the
circumstances"
Cites independence.
Judge Edgerton stated fatty:
Compulsory disclosure Of the
persons who influence appoint
ments to the staff of the United
Nations would not be consistent
with the independence of the
organization or the exclusively
international character of the
responsibilities of the Secretary
General and the staff :"
"The prospect of such disclo-
sure might influence staff mem
bers . to regulate their official
conduct with a view to avoiding
embarrassment of sponsors" He
held that the privilege of mon
disclosure" is necessary for the
independent functioning of the
organization.
But Judge Danaher, in his
Eopfnion on this matter declared
There is not the slightest sug-
gestion at any stage that by vir-
tue Of official position the ap-
pelant MRS. Keeney) cleaned
knowledge from the official files
as to how her employment came
about"
Is Bound to Answer"
He held that unless she ac-
quired information by virtue OF
her U. N. position that some one
in the State Department helped
her in getting the job, she was
bound to answer"
Judge Danaher agreed that
the testimony bearing on COM
munism prejudiced Mrs. Kee-
ney's case before the jury.
This testimony concerned
charges that she had attended
Communist meetings and had
numbered among hen friends
Nathan Silvermaster and Leon
ard Ullman, both of whom have
been called Soviet spies.
Other testimony was to the eff
feet that the subcommittee had
"unevaluated information" that
Mrs. Keeney had been placed in
the United Nations with the help
of persons in the Institute OF
Pacific Relations and the State
Department. The testimony was
offered to show the pertinency
of the question asked OF Mrs
Keeney by the subcommittee
The appellate court ruled that
at the future trial, the jury must
be excluded when the evidence
as to pertinency is taken.

Red Ban Is Law, but Action
Under 1t Is a Long Way Off
Several Sections of Act Will Have
Little Effect on Existing Party Setup

gress has a right to iegislate
about elections conducted by
States.
The States generally have au-
thority over voting procedure.
The courts have not even de-
cided firmly whether the cleo
ton of a Congressman is Fed
eral or State matter.
With these legal complexities
in sight, it seems doubtful that
the law can hurt the Communist
Party Importantly even in rela-
ton to this years elections.
Barred From Contracts.
The OUTLAW" section Of the
new law bars the Communist
Party from acting as a legal
entity in holding a bank account,
making contracts or owning
property. This could be a severe
blow to an ordinary corporation.
The Communist Party, how
ever, does not hold funds in it's
own name. Party funds are held
in accounts of individual party
members. Under the same STRAIT
egg, the party probably owns no
property and makes no contracts.
Under the new law, members
of the Communist Party eventu-
ally would be barred from hold
ing United States passports. But
the 1850 Internal Security Act
aims at the same thing. This act
has not been used to deny pass
ports because the act is being
challenged in the courts. For
years, however, the State Depart
ment acting on its own has
avoided giving passports to Reds
even though they have not
formally joined the party. So
in this respect, the new law adds
nothing.
One semi-joker in the new law
is a kind of footnote which
states: ". Provided, however,
that nothing in this section shall
be construed as amending the
Internal Security Act Of 1885,"
