Dallas Contempt Hearing Aids By Communist Front Attorneys
Dallas Sunday saw attorney Mrs Carol King, head counsel for the American Committee for Protection of the Foreign Born and allied with the National Civil Rights Congress, enter Fred Estes case. Estes, a Grand Prairie tree surgeon, faces a contempt of court hearing Monday in federal court over his refusal to answer Immigration Service questions about possible Communist ties of seven Dallas aliens. Judge William H Atwell has twice ordered Estes to testify. Mrs King said her role focuses on immigration law and privilege against self incrimination. She added she will assist two German aliens in Houston similar matters.
