Court Refuses Help in Field Contempt Case for Millionaire
The Supreme Court declined to intervene in Frederick Vanderbilt Field's contempt conviction, a six month sentence, in a 7 to 2 vote. It also denied hearings for Dashiell Hammett and Alphaeus W. Hunton, who face similar sentences expiring next Sunday. The cases stem from four top Communist leaders who skipped bail after their convictions. Gus Hall was later captured in Mexico. Separately, the Court allowed state police raids on bookmaking equipment without warrants to yield usable evidence in state trials, reinforcing a split with federal search rules.
