The former Stanford professor
invoked the Fifth Amendment
and refused to answer.
Asked if his leaving Stanford

Iuntary or involuntary" he replied
"A combination"
DR.. Roberts refused to answer
a direct question by Richard
Arens, committee counsel, as tc
whether he is an active Commu-
mist Party member.
DR.. Roberts was identified in
Communist publications on ex-
hibit as director Of the California

Senator Kefauver. Democrat Of
Tennessee, next in line after
Senator Eastland for the chair
Imanship. said he had not heard
Iof any contemplated attack on
Senator Eastland's position and
declined any comment
Senator Eastland has been the
target for sharp criticism by the
National Association for the Adj
vancement Of Colored People
and other groups which have
attributed to him a major role
lin preventing Senate consider
alton of civil rights legislation.
Any such consideration would
be certain to start a Southern

IquireS the Affirmative votes Of
I64 Senators before debate can
be limited and a filibuster shut
loff, But even this rule doesn't
apply on a motion to establish
new rules such as Senator
Humphrey and his group plan.
SOutherners Outnumbered
The first real test on civil
rights legislation thus is likely
to come within the 15-member
Judiciary Committee where
Southern opponents of such bills
are far outnumbered.
The Senate has ousted some
chairmen in the past but mem
bers generally are reluctant to
break through the seniority rule.
Any attack on Senator East

come within the Democratic

One Of the two cases decided
yesterday grew out Of the con-
viction Of Ben Gold. former
president Of the Fur Workers
Union which later merged with
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butchers Workmen Of
North America. Gold was sem

The other case involved the

the union membership knew it

that the union was not in COM
