P e ters’ refusal to answ e r ques tions balked the sub-ocm m ittee’s attem p ts to fill gaps in testim o n y about Red spying. Conviction by a jury on a con tem p t charge could bring a jail sentence. Rep. Me Dowell iR-Pori, ch rirm a n of the sub-committee, and Rep.

The long-sought P e ters — 54 years old; a native of Czechoslo v a k ia and now a resident of New York — was handed a Congress ional subpoena as he appeared for a deportation hearing early in the day.
