By House Committee

Justice Department Also Asked fo

Prosecute Eisler and WASHINGTON, April 9 (U, P.

Josephson

).—~The house un-American activi-

tles committee today cited Eugene Dennis, general secretary of the Communist party in the United States, for contempt of congress.

The committee also voted unani more serious charge of ‘conspiracy The committee voted that such an investigation be considered also against’ Gerhart Eisler and Leon Josephson, both of whom have refused to testify before the committee about gheir activities. Conspiracy to commit contempt is a felony carrying a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment and $10,000 fine. Contempt alone is ‘a misdemeanor. and carries a lesser punishment. Mr. Eisler, a refugee from Gere many, has been described as a top secret Communist agent in the U. 8. Mr, Josephson was alleged to: be involved in a Communist passport ring. ; Charges ‘Group Contempt’ Rep. Richard M. Nixon (R. Cal.) said their contempts were “group contempts following the same pattern. “They are guilty of crimes against the United States and know that if they came before the committee, they would subject themselves to perjury,” Nixon said. “They would rather take the risk of being eited for contempt than talk openly under oath.” He charged they had agreed together to avoid testifying. Mr. Dennis, instead of appearing before the committee today as subpenaed sent an attorney, who | presented a formal statement written by the Communist official. Calls Committee Unlawful Mr. Dennis contended in the] statement that the committee is not a lawful congressional com-

Labor Control

The house Republican steering committee was convened to coné sider a sweeping labor control bill which would authorize court injunctions against strikes in public utilities and the coal industry. Drafted by Republican members of the house labor committee, the measure would virtually outlaw the closed shop; outlaw industrywide bargaining, regulate internal union affairs and withhold recognition from Communist-dominated unions.
