Mafusow 10 Appeal
3-Year Federal Term
In Contempt Case
BY the Asseeia,sd Press

Ell PASO, Tex. Mar. IT.
United States District Judge r.
E. Thomason yesterday sentenced
turnabout witness Harvey Matu-
SOW to three years in a Federal
prison.
The Judge said he was con-
WINGED Matusow was lying in
recanting testimony against &C
cused Communists.
The stocky, 28-year-old New
Yorker was led from the court
house in handouts and locked in
the county Jail until he can
raise $4,000 appeal bond. Matu>
SOW said 1t might take three or
four days to raise the money
land it won't come from the
Communist Party"
Judge Thomason sentenced
Matusow for criminal contempt
of court for filing an affidavit
taking back testimony as to the
Communist connections of Clin-
ton Jencks at a trial here in 1854.
Jencks Appealed Term
Matusow and other witnesses
testified against Jencks, who was
convicted of classifying a nom
Communist affidavit under the
Taft-Hartley Act and sentenced
to five years in prison. Jencks.
an official of the Independent
international Union Of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers. has
appealed the sentence.
The judge said he believed
Matusow's original testimony to
have been the truth and his re-
versal to have been part of a
deliberate scheme to obstruct
justice.
II am firmly convinced from
the evidence Of the witnesses, in
Guiding Matusow himself .
that the evidence offered in sup
port Of the (Jencks rehearing)
motion was not worthy of belief
-. that Matusow alone or with
others nefariously schemed
to use this court as a forum for
the purpose Of calling public at
tention to a book. repeatedly
written by Matusow, entitled
False Witness" Judge Thoma-
son said.
Finds Book Subsidized
"This court finds the fact to
be that as early as September
81, 1854, responsible officials of
the mine-mill union, under the
guise of seeking evidence in
Jencks' behalf, subsidized the
writing and publication of this
book by authorizing the eXpendi-
ture of union funds for that
purpose"
Judge Thomason overruled five
motions by Matusow's attorneys
to throw out the contempt
charge. Matusow denied from
the stand that he had conspired
with the mine-mill union or the
publishers of his book to OBJ
struct Justice. He said he had
been a Communist, but was ex-
PEELED from the party in 1851,
had served in World War II and
Korea and wasn't sympathetic
with the Communists.
Given a chance to make a
. statement before sentencing,
Matusow proclaimed: b
II am motivated to Secure
justice fol someone had wrongly
accused. I'm prepared to accept
the courts decision. I know I'll
be able to live with myself for
my conscience is clear. ;"

LIFE IN
THE COUN TRY
A Hunter Who Doesn't Kill
BY JAMES BIRcHFIELD

use to ask Louis that, because he
wouldn't kin one for anything.
In fact. Louis Is an unusual
hunting man. He doesn't kill.
He has as pretty q little 40
gauge shotgun as you'll find any
where, but when it comes to
putting it on the birds and
pulling the trigger. Louis Just
isn't interested.
There is something about q
Bob White. he says. You Just
cant shoot one. Especially after
you have been friends with them
for SO long.
Louis and the Loudoun County
game warden came hunting
down on the 20 Acres one day
last fall. and ! expect they viii
be back again this fall. Just as
soon as hunting season opens.
They brought their heagles
Ialong. and the music back In the
Ipine field was sweet to hear.
But when it came to shooting
the rabbits. Louis just wasn't
there. His partner got q few.
but not Louis. That isn't what
he goes hunting for. It is for the
dogs.
But back to those turkey
shoots. Louis says there still are
q lot Of people who would rather
brave the uncomforts Of the OUT
Of doors than take their turkey
wrapped in cellophane.
And. he says. there ought to
be more.
"Ycu can't appreciate this
great country Of ours. he says.
until you get look at it close
up. without benefit Of the frflls
|of civilization .
Take to the woods and fields
this fall. he says. Youn love II.

The culture Of the pansy Is

The young plants win live over

times serve but q fence or wire

As Rim or Cover
Pansies make an ideal border
for early spring towering borders
and bulb beds. In fact, they
make q most acceptable cover for
bulb beds both ending their use-
fulness about the same time
early June. The time win depend
upon how completely the blooms
are kept picked because pansies
viii continue to flower until seed
has formed. Families with chill
dren will find the pansy d most
valuable garden flower because
the kiddies may be allowed to
pick all Of the flowers they wish.
It is easy to teach children how
to pick the blossoms without pull
ing the plants. It win give the
youngsters pleasure and the
plants will flower all the more.
OF course. pansies may be
grown from seed sown In July
or early August but now II is
November. So. unless your
plants grown from seed are
ready to be set out. you Wili need
70 purchase your supply. Plants
purchased at this season are In

ductiye than spring set plants.

Frost last week end put an
end to the ANIMALS. dahlias and
other tender plants in the gar
dens. The dahlia tops should
be removed promptly.
Now that frost has stopped
the growth Of many plants We
can think about the fall garden
ing chores such as piling leaves
and other plant material in the
compost pile; spading the gar
den area in preparation for
spring planting. and the finish

Pansies should be set out
promptly now.

that must be done ahead Of
freezing weather taken care Of.
Roses, Shrubs, Trees
Dormant roses. shrubs and
trees should be available for fall
planting soon. Local and North
ern nurseries should be the
source. rather than Southern
nurseries whose stock does not
become dormant enough for

so as to insure delivery within

Der is the average date for start
