Appeals Court Clears
Two Women Of Congress
Contempt Conviction

WASHINGTON, Up - The U. S.
Court of Appeals Saturday struck
down the contempt of Congress
conviction of Mary Knowles, IL
brarian of a Quaker-operated Ii
brary at Plymouth Meeting, Pa.
The court also set aside the con-
viction of Goldie E. Watson, a
former Philadelphia school teach
err, and upheld the convictions of
six others.
All of the cases involved re-
fusals to answer, in one way or
another, questions involving Com
munism before the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
or the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee.
In none of the cases decided
did the witness invoke the Fifth
Amendment guarantee against self
determination. Instead, all relied
on the First Amendment, which
guarantees, among other things,
freedom of speech and assembly.
Among questions Mrs. Watson
refused to answer was whether
she ever had been a member of
the Communist party.
In reversing Mrs. Watson's con-
viction, the court said no attempt
had been made by the committee
or its counsel to explain to Mrs.
Watson the basis for the questions,
the nature and scope of the in
quiry, and he pertinency of the
questions.
The court directed that indict-
ments against both Mrs. Knowles
and Mrs. Watson be dismissed.
This means that they cannot be
tried again.
