Maj. therefore denied App's. petition to practice law.

Min.: "In our view, the applicant has discharged the burden of proof that he has the requisite character and fitness. We know him well from protracted hearings and over-exposure to his views. He has demonstrated that he is a moral and patriotic American and that his views on the right of revolution are without significance. He is well thought of in the community and discharges important responsibilities . . . On this record, it is pure sophistry to hold that his refusals to answer have prevented our determining his character and fitness . . ."

333.14.. Brown v. U. S. (U.S.S.C.) (247 F. 2d 332.) Def., called as witness before Fed'l. grand jury, claimed Fifth Amdt. privilege as to questions re racketeering in garment trucking industry. Ct. granted complete immunity; Def. persisted in refusal to answer. Ct. found Def. guilty of criminal contempt; 15 mth. sentence. Mar. 9: U.S.S.C. affirmed, Stewart, J.: disobedience to ct. order, after grant of immunity, was in court's presence, and, as criminal contempt, proper for it to be punished summarily. Warren, C.J., Black, Douglas, Brennan, Jj., diss.: Def. entitled to hearing on contempt charge; 15 mth. sentence longest ever given for refusal to answer question of Fedl. judge or grand jury; in absence of indications Def. had violated Fedl. law, actual basis of refusal to answer may well have been fear of gangland reprisals.
