Fifth Amendment Ple0ders Attempting
To Subyert Legal Function Of Congress

Ayirtual insurrection against
the Constitution Of the United
States Is under way among
some left wing groups In
America. It involves q studied
effort to encourage actions IN
contempt Of the Congress Of
the United States. II amounts
to an effort to Illustrate the
legitimate activities Of the
committees Of Congress per-
forming their law-writing
function.
The latest outcropping Of
defiance has occurred In con-
nection with the hearings Of
the House Committee on I'M
American Activities which Is
seeking information concern
ing Communist infiltration
and influence In the theatrical
field. Many witnesses not only
are invoking the Fifth Amend
ment by refusing to testify ct
the New York hearings but are
also crying out that the COM
mittee has no authority even
to call them or investigate
their activities. It looks like q
concerted move.
This type Of defiance was
urged by the late Albert Elm
stein, but 1t has also been
seconded by many left wing
groups. Even the American
civil Liberties Union. which
claims to be disinterestedly
concerned only with violations
Of civil liberties. has ques-
toned the right Of . congress

Arthritic Elephant
Put to Death in
Baltimore Zoo
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 10.-Min-
ME, the three-ton elephant who
was a delight for the youngsters
at Baltimore's zoo for IL years,
was put out of her misery yes
terday with an injection that
produced painless death.
Minnie had arthritis.
1T was the only humane thing
to do" said Arthur Watson, di-
rector of the ZOO.
Specialists on arthritis had
used all the modern drugs in
their efforts to save Minnie, but
creeping paralysis had crippled
both hind legs. It had been more
than a year since she was used
to entertain crowds at the ZOO.
Minnie was % and came to
Baltimore in 1912 as a gift. She
was captured by the late Frank
Buck, famous big game hunter.

luctant to express an opinion on
the location, however, because
I'm prejudiced." Mr.. Hoyt is
planning to develop a model
community on 460 acres he
owns near Centerville.
Undeveloped areas near Chan
tilly or in Loudoun County also
could be used to build up facili-
ties to serve the CHA employees,
Mr.. Hoyt said.
Mr.. Hoyt discussed the CHA
proposal in answer to questions
after he addressed the Arling-
ton Committee of 100 last night
at Evans Coffee Shop.
He told the group that de-
velopment of additional parking
facilities in the Clarendon area
would be prohibitively expensive.
The county's main shopping
areas are strung out for such a
long distance, he added, that a
single, huge commercial center
on the Cafritz-T ompkins prop
erty across Shirley highway from
the Pentagon might be success
full.
A proposal by Joseph Inter-
maggie, chief Arlington County
planner, for an international ex-
position center on the tract,
should be studied carefully, Mr..
Hoyt said.
Fairfax County will pass Ar
lington in population this year,
he added. Unofficial estimates
place Fairfax at 10000 and
Arlington at 10000.

Lee to Offer Bill
To Upset School Ban

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 10 (Spe-
ciaD Delegate Blair Lee, III,
Democratic chairman of the
Montgomery delegation, today
pledged a legislative move to
assure that Montgomery schools
may continue to be used for
political meetings or church
services.
A bill will be introduced very
soon," he said, to remedy a sit
uation brought to light at a
Montgomery School Board meet
ing Tuesday. The board at that
time reluctantly banned the use
of schools for political and
church meetings to comply with
ruling from the Maryland At
torney Generals office.
Mr.. Lee said such a prohibition
was contrary to the sound theory
that school buildings serve a
general community purpose"
