Field Would Reconsider Questions Before Senate Panel
Washington May 94 Fred erick Vanderbilt Field denied today that he was in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions from Senators investigating Communists in government charges. His attorney Harold Canier of New York asked for a chance to reconsider the queries. Field’s denial was conveyed through Canier who said a contempt citation would be inconsistent with the Fifth Amendment self incrimination privilege. Edward P. Morgan, counsel for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, recommended the citation after Field appeared under subpoena April 28. Field had earlier been linked by ex Communist Lewi F Budenz to a Soviet espionage agent and to Owen Lattimore, whom Senator McCarthy called the top Soviet agent in the U S. Lattimore denied the charge, swearing he is not a Communist. Field refused to say whether he is or has been a Communist on self incrimination grounds and declined to answer if he knew Earl Browder or used his home as a meeting place for any campaign. Morgan called Field’s refusals contemptuous and prepared citations against Field and Browder, though the committee had not acted yet. Chairman Tydings said he did not know when action would come.

Re-Arrest and Trial Possible Despite Collateral Forfeiture
A New Jersey case cited by Attorney General Hal Hammond and Deputy AG J. Edgar Harvey holds that forfeiture of collateral does not bar a future arrest or trial. The opinion, approved by Motor Commissioner Arthur W. Brice, notes that collateral forfeiture is not a satisfaction of the offense or a penalty. It states neither the department nor magistrates may return forfeited collateral, and a remittance by the governor does not erase the forfeiture if the defendant later stands trial.
