1t affirmed the contempt judg-
ment and six months sentence
imposed in Federal court in
New York City a little more than
a year ago on William Ludwig
Ullmann. He refused to answer
question after being offered i'm
munity from prosecution for
whatever testimony he might
give to a grand jury inveStigat-
ing wartime espionage.
First Court Test
That presented the first court
test of the law enacted by
Congress in August, 1854. in an
effort to cope with numerous
court and congressional COM
mittee witnesses who invoked
the Fifth Amendment provision
against possible self-incrim-
nation.
The statute provides that in
cases involving national security
a Federal district court judge
can give reluctant witnesses i'm
munity from prosecution and or
der them to testify. If they still
refuse they can be punished for
contempt of court.
Although the Ullman case
dealt specifically with refusal to
answer grand jury questions, the
Supreme Court opinion was be-
ing studied at the Capitol today
for it's possible direct applica-
ton to balky witnesses at COM
mittee hearings on Communist
activities.
The law provides that the i'm
munity grant can be made by a
Federal judge on application Of
the Attorney General. a United
States Attorney or a congress
sional committee. In the Ullmann
case the immunity application
of the United States Attorney in
New York was granted by Fed
eral Judge Edward Weinefeld.
Ullmann, a former Treasury
official whe had been an Army
Air Force major. had refused on
various occasions to answer con-
gressional committee questions
here. Several years ago he was
accused by Elizabeth Bentley,
former Communist courier, of
having belonged to a Soviet spy
ring here.
Similar Case Cited?
The Justice Department said
today that one other case close
ly resembling the Ullman case
is on its way to the Supreme
Court. 1t involves Edward j.
Fitzgerald who last August re-
fused to answer grand jury
questions in New York City after
being granted immunity by Fed
eral Judge Lawrence E. Walsh
