(AP) A reporter for the Evening News of Newark was found guilty and ordered jailed for contempt of court yesterday for refusing to answer grancl-jur-questions concerning an alleged $10,000 hribe offered to 'influence appointment of a Newark Housing Authority director.

The reporter, Peter Bridge, was given until 2 p.rn. today to answer questions aimed iit uncovering the identity of the person who made the bribe, or go to jail. Judge H. Curtis Meanor, who imposed sentence after hearing brief defense arguments yesterday, pointed out that Bridge could appeal the decision to the Appellate Division of Superior Court. Attorney Edward Gilhooley, representing Bridge and the newspaper, said it had not yet been decided whether the decision will be appealed.

Beatty was to vote were not revealed. Bridge, during several appearances before the grand jury, answered only those questions dealing directly with the information in his story. He argued that testifying about other matters would dry up his sources as a reporter. He cited the protection of the First" Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Judge Meanor, however, cited the U.S. Supreme Court ruling of last week that stated newsmen do not have First Amendment protection against answering questions regarding their sources. "IT'S OBVIOUS that this ruling might have some effect it's unknown how great on news-gathering ability," the judge said. "But against this must be balanced the interest of enforcement of criminal laws Bridge could be confined for the term of the grand jury, expected to last all summer. New Jersey has a Newspaperman's Shield Law that prohibits grand juries or other bodies from forcing newsmen to reveal confidential sources.

Judge Meanor held that Bridge "waived immunity" under this law. The source whose coun evidently reasons to believe that a final decision has not yet been taken. In counseling a settlement, the big Communist powers presumably have been motivated also by the latest American bombing of North Vietnam and the effect it has had so far. The Russians, for instance, were reported by Western defense sources earlier this week to be worried about the effect of the bombing on the Soviet-supplied SAM ground-to-air missiles, the installations for which have been hit frequently. 41 try has full diplomatic repre moves.

On the contrary, both countries have confirmed that they support North Vietnam politically, morally and militarily. Both support Hanoi's terms for a Vietnam peace and neither has suggested any specific concessions to the United States, the source said.
