Supreme Court may force witness to reveal Communist ties
The U S circuit court of appeals ruled that Congress can compel witnesses to state whether they are Communist. The decision kept intact contempt convictions of John Howard Lawson and Dalton Trumbo, pending potential appeals to the Supreme Court. Fellow movie figures like Ring Lardner Jr and others await outcomes as echoes of wartime right to inquire into political beliefs persist.

Rise in Jobless Prop Plan Fails to Stir Capital Support
Washington reports rising unemployment but little enthusiasm for a federal prosperity plan. Senator Murray D Montana circulates his Economic Expansion Act of 1949 with few sponsors and unlikely Senate action this session. Officials say government intervention could scare business, while Truman pushes anti inflation policy. A new census shows May unemployment rising, potentially boosting support for Murray’s bill among downtown policymakers. ADA calls Murray proposals a necessary step toward proactive economic planning amid recession fears.
