secuted after he assailed the com
mittee members as "non-patriots"
and "un-Americans" at a stormy
hearing.
The singer was subpoenaed be-
fore the committee supposedly to
discuss State Department rules
governing the issuance Of pass
ports. Actually Robson was ques-
toned throughout the hearing on
his alleged affiliation with the
Communist party, and his report
ed friendly attitude toward Stain
and ths Soviet Union.
Starting off calmly. Robson
quietly invoked the fifth amend
ment regarding his acquaintance
with a number of people who were
reported to be members Of the
Communist party.
But the hearing became more
and more heated as II progressed,
and finally came TO a head when
Richard Arens, staff director and
counsel for the committee, asked
Robson II he knew Benjamin Da-
Wis.
Robson admitted that he not
only knew Davis, but that Davis
was a personal friend Of his.
At this point, Robson was in
terrupted by Chairman Francis
Walter, who raped his gavei and
ordered Robson to answer the
question. I'VE know all Of that, "
snapped Walter you answer
whether or not you know Davis"
I've answered the question"
Robson snapped back.

When another member Of the

The four Congressman present
at the subcommittee hearing i'm
mediately voted 10 recommend 10
the fun committee that Robson
be cited for contempt Of congress
because Of his attitude which OBJ

tack upon the committee, and for
smearing a U. s. Senator.

upon Senator Eastland when
Robson was questioned on a

garding Negroes taking up arms
