Jail and Fine
Given Shelton

Robert Shelton was sentenced
yesterday to six months in jail
and q $500 fine for contempt
Of Congress.
Shelton, a copyreader for the
New York Times. was held in
contempt by the Senate Inter-
nal Subcommittee in 1856.
He refused to answer a COM
nittee question as TO whether
he was a member Of the Com
munist Party and whether he
had conversations with a wom-
an under investigation by the
subcommittee.
Shelton had invoked the
First Amendment, pleading
that the questions unconsti-
tutionally invaded his freedom
OF speech and conscience.
Judge Leonard Walsh OF the
United States District Court
gave Shelton two six-month
sentences TO be served concur
rently, and a $500 fine on the
two counts.
Judge Walsh. who heard
Shelton's case without a jury,
released him on $500 bond
pending an appeal TO the
United States Court of APP
peals.
Joseph L. Rauh, IT,, the de-
tense attorney, had asked for
O suspended sentence. Mr.
Rauh said that Shelton will
answer the two questions put
TO him by the subcommittee II
and when the case goes against
him on the appeal.
The sentence came down In
Shelton's retrial. His conviction
In the first trial was upset by
the Supreme Court, which
found that the original indict-
ment had been faulty.

know it's insane to want to
hold on to someone who no
longer cares for you"
Police said that was in a let
ter American Opera Star Fran
ces Mccain had in her purse
when she was found shot dead
in her room in a Rome hotel.
The author. they said. was tai
ent agent Ernest Arthur Box
mann, accused of pumping four
bullets into the singer, then
shooting himself in the head.
But for me-" the letter con-
tinued. you will always be the
most beautiful, adorable
woman that God ever created"
Miss Mccain, Al, was mature
and lovely, with red hair and
green eyes. Boxmann, SO, was
paunchy and balding.
Had Four Children
She was a married woman
with four children at home in
Altadena, Calf, and a brilliant
singing career in Europe.
Today, she lay dead in a
Rome morgue. her body torn
by bullets. Boxmann tossed in
delirium at a Rome hospital
suffering from a head wound
caused by a bullet from the
same gun.
Police said he killed her with
four shots in her room at the
Bernini- Bristol Hotel, returned
TO his own room down the hall
and then. hours later. turned
the gun against himself.
Her body, clad in a rose
colored nightgown, was found
in a pool Of blood yesterday
after Boxmann staggered into
the hall. The bullet had en-
tered his right temple and
emerged from his forehead.
leaving him badly but not crit
ically injured.
Boxmann and Miss Mccain
arrived in Italy from West Ber-
lin four days before. He told
the hotel they we're there -
a business trip. She repeatedly
planned TO make some record
ings here.
She was at the peak Of her
career. After film and stage APP
pearances in the United States
she had come 10 Europe seven
years ago. Since 1861 sh, had
sung regularly with the West
Berlin Opera.

Referendo Requested
On County Ordinances

A Montgomery County citi-
zens group urged last night
that the county's charter be
amended to provide for refer
enda on ordinances.
The Allied Civic Group, Inc
described some of the ordi-
nanceS enacted in past years by
the county council as being
"of far-reaching nature"
Citizen rights" should cover
referenda on ordinances, the
group said, since most local
regulations take that form. The
charter provides for referen-
