Acting on advice of his counsel, Ben Golder, Cunningham refused to respond to any inquiries as to the source of a $50,000 contribution he |made to the campaign fund of Wil- m S. Vare, who won the repub- lican senatorial nomination last May. Cunningham contended that this was a personal matter. Before that Golder had challeng- ed the right of the committee to go into the Pennsylvania primary at all, declaring that this was a matter “for the commonwealth of Penn- sylvania to deal with.,” With Cunningham's persistent re- fusal to respond to questions, Chair- man Reed said he wanted to inform him that it would be “the duty of the eommittee to report you to the United States senate for contempt.” “What the result may be will have to be determined by the senate and the committes,” Reed added. “This is not a threat,” the senator |continued, “but a statement of fact. |1 ask you now if you adhere to the | position you have taken?” | “I do,” Cunningham replied. “Very well, that's all.” The authority of the senate to |punish citizens for contempt in re- |tusing to answer questions before an investigating committee is now be- fo the courts in the case of ”arr_\'l Sinelair, oil magnate who tused finally to testify in the Teapot Senator Willfam B.
