U S District Judge Joseph C McGarraghy denied author Harvey O Connor's motion for acquittal on a contempt of Congress indictment while leaving open his guilt or innocence on the matter.

O Connor, 58, of Winnetka and Dracut Rhode Island appeared before the Senate investigations subcommittee led by Senator McCarthy in July 1958, refusing to disclose if he was a Communist when the books were placed abroad.
