Buchman Conviction Exception To Usual Acoyittal h Usual In Contempt Cases v WASHINGTON, (UP>—The recent conviction of Sidney Buchmgn, Hollywood film producer, on contempt of congress changes was the exception rather than the rule. Acquittals have been the rule in the bulk of contempt cases since the supreme- court decided that witnesses before congressional committees mw refuse to answer questions on grounds of possible self-incrimination. The record shows that, generally speaking, prosecutions of congressional witnesses have mbre successful when the charge was perjury rather than contempt. The charge on whidh was convicted last Thursday was different from most congressional contempt indictments in that it wm) not based on mere refusal to answer questions. He was prosecuted because he did not answer a subpena to appear before the house un-American activities ct&nmittee. ; Ii ’ ' If Buchman had appeared be» /Ore the comuiittee and then- declined to h QBn Y er questions oh "constitutional grounds of possible sielf-incrimination\ the .chanced are that hq would have escaped cbnvictipn. -| Although the government has ha‘d more success with perjury than contempt prosecutions, its last perjury case ended in acquittAl of the accused man. That was the “Scientist X” case. On March 5 a federal court jury found that Dr. Joseph W. Weinberg, 3i5-yeaF-old atomie sci-i enlist, had pot lied to the house un-American activities committee when he testified he had never been a Communist. But the government’s failure in this instance 1 was as much against the rule in perjury cases as Buchman's conviction was in contempt cases. The justice i department’s most famous perjury conviction of recent years was that of Alger Hiss. It stemmed from grand jury rath--er than congressional testimony, but the case started in congress. Hiss was convicted of lying in connection w i t h \ Communist charges by WhHtaker Chambers, pnevtirn’e courier for the Soviets. . Others cdnvicted' pf perjury in recynt years have included William W. Remington, former government economist, and Harold R. Chrlstoffel, former Milwaukee labor upion leader. Both convictions were reversed and the cases were tried all over again, toy the government. Sepond convictions are how being apbepled. John Maragqp. former White House habitue, served a jail term for lying to Senate “five percentContempt citations have come from 10 committees of the house and senate.

■| ! — Says Ammunition Supply Now Ample Army Secretary In Report To Congress \ WASHINGTONUP The army told congress flatly todav there is no shortage of ammunition in Korea now. X Supplies of weapons, \fodd and clothing also are adequate, army secretary Robert T. Stevena said in a formal report to the house. James A. Van Fleet, farmer eighth army commander, tes\ tified recently his forces had been short of ammunition throughout \ his 22 months in 'Korda. Today's statement -was the latent in a series oj confusing and apparently \ eoqffadictory pronouncements on thaissue. > K'hame as a We-wcird answer to h question, put to the army formhprby the ho.use in behalf of an inquiring member: j the present time* have the arise& forces in Korea an adequate supply of ammunition (and weapons; adequate food and clothing?” "yes,” Stevens replied. Th<e reassuring word pn Korean stocks came as chairman Homer Ferguson (rl-Mich.) said his senate military subcommltfad will look into reports that serious ammunition shortages face Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway’s NATO troops in Europe. Informed sources said ip Paris Mohday , that shortages of some ammunition types are so acute in Europe that some Units could offer only ‘’token” resistance in the eventfeof attack. The Paris sources indicated the shortages resulted from a failure of European Allies Jo ,-mhet their own ammunition reduction quotas. Another senate subcommittee, especially to check on 'the ammunition situation, aiready haa announced it will check Europeap stocks. That group Is headed "• by §ei|. Margaret Chase (RMb.) •. ’

Millions See Atom Test On Television Picture Story II Shown To Viewers NEW YORK, UP — Major, television networks brought TV vieweri a “much clearer and bettqr” picture story of the Nevada atomic explosion today than, they were able to in first attempt to screen a nuclear blast last year. The TV networks — ABG, NBC, and CB@Aes|imated that millions of Americans got up early to watch the atomic detonation near Las Vegas. Nev. The* program began fat 7 a.m., c.s,t. Those w*bo didn’t own TV could tune in on radio for an eyewitness account from those networks ' hnd the. Mutual Broadcasting System. j ' Millions more will see the after effects of the blast on a dummy community grid its mannequin occupants this afternoon at 3 :!30 p.m. cis.t. on CBS and ABC television ;networka and rit 3:45 p.m. on NBC. networks will carry recorded radio highlights Os the event tonight. j l” ' , All in all, it was the best covered atomic explosion so far. Network spokesman agreed that TV coverage was far superior to the intermittent gray and wavy pictures that weqe transmitted from the Nevada proving grounds last April 22 to disappointed TV viewers. ‘ \. One minute before the explosion, the screen was darkened when technicians capped the television camera lens to protect it from damagq, and the voice of an announce? tolled off the Seconds remaining before blast t|me. At “second zero” the screen i-emaihed dark, A flash that lighted the screen was mistaken by many for the K explosion of the bomb. In Los Angeles, a spokesman for the television networks explained it wgs caused by interference. One minute before the explosion the screen was darkened and the announcer tolled off' the seconds remaining before blast time. At “iecond zero f * the screen remained blacked out so that the aotual blast, was not qeen by TV watchers.
