/ A citizens right to privacy
under the First Amendment 4.
secondary to the Government
right ito know" Assistant United
States Attorney William Hitz ar
gued today in summing up the
Governments case against au-
thor Harvey O'Connor.
I Mr.. O'Connor is being tried
son q contempt of Congress
charge. The charge stems from
the writer's refusal to tell the
Mccarthy Senate Investigations
Subcommittee in 1858 whether
he was q member of the Com
munist conspiracy" when he
wrote certain books. His refusal
was based on the First tfreedom
of belief Amendment. The sub
committee at the time was in
vestigating efficiency in the OPP
Grafton of United States Infor-
nation Agency libraries overseas.
Mccarthy Told of Complaints
Senator Mccarthy had testi-
fed that his committee had re-
ceived a number of complaints
that anti-American books and
books by Communists were on
the libraries shelves, But the
contents of Mr.. O'Connor's
books were not at issue.
Opening the summation for
the defense today. Attorney
Leonard Boudin asserted that
the Mccarthy subcommittee
was authorized only TO delve
into fiscal and auditing aspects
Of Government agencies. He
said the Government Opera
lions Committee, parent COM
mittee Of the Mccarthy group,
was limited to the study Of fiscal
affairs, and hence the subcom-
mittee was so limited.
He recited that by Senate res
olution. the Senate Foreign At
fairs Committee was authorized
to investigate the libraries and
did so.
The writer was Subpoenaed by
the subcommittee and asked If
he was q member of the rCom-
munist conspiracy" He declined
to answer on the grounds that
the question violated his right
to privacy Of belief under the
First Amendment.
So he was cited for contempt
and eventually indicted.
In testimony yesterday. Sena-
tor Mccarthy said Mr.. O'Connor
was q well-known Communist
and a paid Communist propa-
gandizer.
Cites Public Denial
On the witness stand, the
writer testified he had publicly
denied being q Communist.
Mr.. Hitz asked him whether
he, under oath in court. would
answer the question as to Com
munist Party membership.
Mr.. O'Connor replied that he

rived in Washington today ac-
companied by Nine. Cork.
The Gorks will reside in a
hotel here until the present
Ambassador and Nine. Erkin
depart on June 16 for their

Before coming here. the ST.
year-old' envoy, who has been
in Turkeys diplomatic service
since 1929, was Secretary Gen.
eral to President Celal Bayar

The new Ambassador comes
to Washington with the un-
usual advantage of having been
educated by Americans in Tur-
key. He is a graduate Of
Robert College in Istanbul and
is the first alumnus of that
college to become Ambassador
to the UniSed States.
According to the Turkish En-
bassy, Ambassador designate
Cork served previously in Mos
COW, Rome, Tokyo and War
saw. And about 10 years ago
he developed an ever-increas-
ing interest in economics and
has had a great deal to do with
Turkeys economic develop
ment over the past decade.
When not occupied with eco

Mr.. Cork finds diversion in
