An opinfon that persons under sub- Ppoena of courts or congressional com- mittees should honor such subpoenas by personal appearance, with objection to be taken subsequently on specific 1ssues, was expressed today by Judge Peyton Gordon in District Court dur- ing the tria) of L. Douglas Rice, vice Railway Audit and Inspection Co. Rice is charged with contempt of the Senate Civil Liberties Committee. Addressing himself to counsel in the presence of the jury, Judge Gordon | declared objection to responding to such subpoenas might properly follow the course of refusal to answer specific | questions or to surrender certain docu- ments, but that personal appearance | seemed advisable.

August 27 Exception Day. After introduction of the commit- tee records showing failure to appear on August 21, Wohlforth admitted | the company officials were informed ' they need not appear on the date of edjournment, August 27. | At this point the defense contended that action of the committee agents in intervening in connection with an order to show cause, issued against * Rice, prevented the defendant from actual compliance with the subpoena. I To this contention Government counsel insisted the contempt action Wwas complete when Rice failed to ap- pear on the morning of August 21, and that his action of seeking a re- straining order against himself simply confirmed the intention to flaunt the committee. John J. Abt, counsel for the Senate committee, also was scheduled to tes- tify during the day. Two or three other witnesses are | expected to appear for the prosecu- | ¢ tion, with that part of the trial prob- ably completed today. | velt can make an appointment to the Safe of Meisel Co.
