A special meeting was set up
yesterday to get Mr.. Scull's tes-

The petition said Mr.. Scull
is "willfully, deliberately and
fiagrantly in contempt Of court"
for violating the courts order
TO testify.
Judge Hosmer scheduled the
hearing on the contempt action
for 10 am. October 80 in Ar

Since the Thomson Commit
tee goes out of existence
