rounding up a pair of decent

With Johnny Steadman's help
a pair was found in a satisfac-

wet and cold. The friends wife
got sick and he couldn't use the

Yesterday we heard the con-

3 Convicted
OfHidine Red
Win New TriuI
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

The Supreme Court today or
dered a new trial for three per-
sons convicted on charges of
having sheltered Robert Thomp-
son. a top Communist Party
leader who fed after his convic-
ton on charges Of advocating
violent overthrow Of the Govern
ment.
The reversal in a 6-to-2 deci-
sion was based solely on a claim
that FBI agents illegally
searched and seized property in
a California mountain cabin
where Thompson was hiding.
Thompson was one Of the 10
Communist Party leaders con-
victed in New York several years
ago in the first major test OF
the Smith Act. He fed before
he could be sent to prison. As
a result Of his capture several
months later, FBI agents ar
rested Sidney Steinberg, Samuel
Coleman and Mrs. Shirley Kre-
men, Communist leaders, who
had sheltered him there on
charges of hindering his capture.
The Supreme Court opinion to-
day was unsigned but noted dis
sents by Justices Burton and
Clark. Justice Whitaker did not
participate. The opinion noted
that the FBI agent had kept the
cabin under surveillance for "a
hours after finding it.
Besides arresting the occu-
pants of the cabin. they seized
the entire contents Of the cabin
without a search warrant, the
opinion said.

Teamster President Dave Beck
will have another opportunity
probably Wednesday-to tell his
story to the Senate Labor Rackets
Committee or to take refuge in
the Fifth Amendment.
Committee Counsel Robert F.
Kennedy said Beck will be re.
called as a witness at the close
Iof the current phase of hearings

however, that Beck would be
more cooperative in the forth
coming appearance than he has
been in the past. Already his

approaches the 200 mark.
Edward Bennett Williams.
Beck's new attorney, said this
morning he had not yet been
notified by the committee as to,
the exact time set for Beck's
appearance. He said, however.
that he himself could not be in
the Senate caucus room on We'd
nesday because of prior COM
mittments in New York-at court
in the morning and. at q United
Jewish Appeal dinner in the
evening.
Mr.. Williams indicated he
would ask the committee to hear
Beck either tomorrow or Thurs
day.
The attorney refused to COM
ment when asked whether Beck
would be more cooperative this
time. Asked about Beck's health,
Mr.. Williams said he understood
that Beck is suffering some pain
from kidney stones.
