Browder Acquitted in Contempt Case
Federal Judge F Dickinson Letts acquitted Earl Browder of a contempt of Congress charge. Browder, once a leading Communist, was accused of refusing to answer 16 questions at a Senate subcommittee hearing on communism in government. The judge ruled the committee failed to direct Browder to answer and noted his objections were acceptable. Browder called the case unsound and faulted Senator McCarthy for provoking the dispute.
