The United States Court of
Appeals here is expected to rule
this week on eight contempt
convictions resulting from con-
gressional probings into alleged
Communist activities in this
country.
A librarian, two newspaper
men, a retired school teacher,
a physicist, an engineer, a
union leader and a businessman
await the appellate decision.
They had been convicted after
refusing to answer congress
sional committees questions.
In refusing, the defendants
maintained the Constitutions
First Amendment prohibits the
committees from inquiring in
a citizens associations and be-
liefs.
5-4 Decision by Court
The never-ending conflict be-
tween the individuals claim to
immunity from such investiga-
tons and the Nations claim to
security swung in favor of the
latter last summer. The Su-
preme Court then, in a 5 to 4
opinion, maintained that Con-
gresS' right to investigate Com
lnunist activities is virtually
limitless.
The District Court judges
who had tried the cases now
pending in the appeals court
had taken the view that the
House Un-Amercian Activities
Committee and the Senate In
ternal Security Subcommittee
were conducting legitimate in
vestigations.
The eight cases were held up
by the appellate court until the
Supreme Court decision, which
sent former Vassar psychology
instructor to prison here. Lloyd
Barenblatt. 81, the subject of
the landmark case, began serv-
ing his six-month sentence late
last year.
Three Judges Consider Gases
The pending cases here are
being considered by three
judges-Walter M. Bastian,
Warren E. Burger and George
T. Washington. The first two
voted with the five-judge ma
jority when the Court of Ap-
peals refused to reverse the
BarenJlatt conviction before it
went to the Supreme Court.
The defendants, who were
questioned between 1854 and
1856 and their sentences, if
the convictions are affirmed:
l. Mrs. Mary Knowles, 46-
year-old librarian at Plymouth
Meeting, Pa, a Quaker COM
munity, who was convicted for
refusing to answer questions
about her previous political af-
filiations. -Four months and

New High Of 804
Tops 1853 Record Of 70l
Kills By lob

An all-time record number Of
8O4 deer were killed in Garrett
county during the seven-day sea-
son which ended last Saturday
Ninety-five bucks were felled on the
final day of the season, which was
the third highest day of the week
Thursday and Friday kills had
diminished greatly with only 10
and 3S being reported on those
days.
The number of deer kills in this
county topped all other counties
of the state and topped the former
record of FOL, by 1903. This record
was accomplished with less hunt
ers than in previous seasons.
Joseph Minke, regional game
warden, estimated $4,000 sports
men had hunted in Allegany coun-
ty, which is a far cry from the
number hunting in the forests OF
