Thus, Clark's action revers-ig himself was unusual. Dennis' lawyers contended that worker jurors, subject to res. Truman's loyalty investiga-on, cannot be expected to give communist a square break, even i a contempt case. The U. S.

ipreme Court split on the fair-ss of federal workers as jurors an ordinary criminal case a ar ago. In that case, Frazier v. U. re judges said the jury was fair, four disagreed. One jus-e from each side has since died, Clark has withdrawn, leaving osiderable doubt over the out-ne of the case.
