U.S. Court upholds immunity law in national security cases
The Court of Appeals, in a unanimous ruling written by Judge Jerome N. Frank, affirms the immunity statute for witnesses in grand jury and congressional probes on national security. Judge Charles E. Clark and Judge Clarence Galston concurred, while Chief Judge Clark voiced concerns over Fifth Amendment implications. William Ullman, a former Air Force major, was sentenced six months for contempt after refusing to testify despite immunity, and the case heads toward the Supreme Court for review.
