Peck Convicted
On 5Countsin
Iria!

Seymour Peck, 80, a copy
reader for the New York Times
Sunday Magazine. yesterday was
found guilty of five counts of
contempt of Congress stemming
from his refusal to name for
congressional investigators per-
sons believed affiliated with
communism.
A Federal jury returned the
verdict before Judge Luther w.
Youngdahl in U. S. District Court
after celebrating only half an
hour.
Peck was allowed to remain
free on bond pending appeal.
No date was set for sentencing
The newspaperman had been
cited for contempt following his
appearance before the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee
on January 6. 1855. At that
time, the subcommittee was IN
vestigating infiltration by Com
munists into the newspaper field.
Peck admitted being a men,
Der of the Communist Party for
a short time when he was en-
ployed by the -defunct New
York Star before going to the
New York Times. But he re-
fused to name others who might
have been active in Communist
affairs.
In charging the jury, Judge
oungdahl said that he already
had ruled that the congressional
investigation was valid and that
the questions put to Peck were
pertinent. The only thing left
for the jury to decide, the judge
said. was whether Peck will
fully refused to answer the
questions.
Maximum penalty for the
charge is one year in Jail and
$1,000 fine.

A spokesman said yesterday
the situation is causing FDA
concern because the products

I'VE think there is a definite

We are concerned over de-

The spokesman said. People
promoting these products are

Before the grand jury acted.
Barrett was to have appeared to-
day before the United States
commissioner in Baltimore on a
complaint filed March 13-the
final day allowable for 1850 taxes

The indictment made today's
hearing unnecessary.
The former chief. who spent
nearly 81 sometimes stormy
years on the force. came under
sharp scrutiny by the Senate
District Crime Subcommittee in

financial affairs of leading police
