Representative Scotts listing of
''the first invitations to stag din
ners of Negroes in substantial
numbers" as condescension, but
simply as recognition that in the
White House, the President of the
American people represents all
Americans-that all segments of
the American people should be in
cluded in its functions.
It was a simple statement that,
as President, he had set his own
house in. order, including the ap-
pointments of a Negro Admins
trative Assistant in the Executive
offices, and a Negro secretary in
the office of the Assistant to the

Judge Pine had taken Miss

him without a jury. She had
waived jury trial.
The jurist today granted Miss
Hoag a Judgment of acquittal in
an eight and a half page mem
orandum opinion.
In so doing, the judge over
ruled prosecution contention
that Miss Hoag had waived her
right to invoke the Fifth Amend
ment by having answered a ques-

questions later asked her which
she refused to answer.
In the hearing before the sub
committee. Miss Hoag had been
asked: If the Communist Party
ordered you to sabotage the work
you are doing, assuming that we
were at war with Communist
Russia, would you obey those
orders or would you refuse to
obey them?"
At that point Miss Hoag de-
clared she wanted to make a
statement. She then told the
subcommittee

Judge Pine held that the mega
