Charles Schramm died early Fri
day evening at the Mt. Edgecumbc

dent which occurred Wednesdaj
morning.
Mr. Schramm and Carl Nelson,
heads of the maintenance depart

an alarm sounded. They jumped
onto the truck and were racing to
the fire. The truck turned a sharp
corner and threw Schramm who
was hanging onto the side of the
engine. Mr. Nelson, who was riding
in the cab, apparently opened the
door to see what had happened to
Schramm and also fell or jumped
out. His injuries are not believed to
be serious but he is being kept in
the hospital for observation.
Mr. Schramm suffered severe
head injuries and never regained
consciousness.
Funeral services were conducted
Lhis morning at the Mt. Edgecumbc
chapel and were attended by local
Masons of which lodge Mr.
Schramm was wor hipful master.

The all school play. “They
i Shoo:: the Family Tree,’ was a
roaring success, literally. The au
dience roared with laughter from
beginning to end. Play and cast,
both, were well chosen and the
performance was far above aver
age under any standard. Susan
Kinberg in the lead, as Bridget,
stole the show which took some do
ing with the keep competition she
was given by the rest of the cast.
The School Band, under the di
rection of Walter Birkeland, added
considerably to the enjoyment of
the evening by playing selections
before the play and between the
acts. A tap dance by Leonora Pet
erson was warmly applauded.
At the end of the performance
the cast presented their director.
Miss Dorothy Kull with a beautiful
bouquet of roses. It should have
been an armload of orchids as Miss
Kull baa been wonderful
job of directing m all the plays this
year.

BROWDER,
CONTEMPT
WASHINGTON, March 15 —(iP)—
Federal Judge F. Dickinson Letts
has acquitted Earl Browder of a
contempt of Congress charge.
Browder is the former No. 1 Com
munist in this country. He was ac
cused of refusing to answer ques
tions at a Senate Foreign Rela
tions subcommittee hearing on Com
munism-in-Government.
Judge Letts held that the com
mittee failed to direct Browder to
answer questions over his objec
tions and explanations.
The judge’s ruling ended Brow
der’s trial and he walked out of
the courtroom a free man. Thus, he
had escaped going to jail for a
fourth time during his long career.
Browder testified before the sub
committee last April 27 during an
investigation of charges by Senator
McCarthy (R-Wis) that the State
Department was infested with Com
! munists.
Specifically, he was accused of
not answering 1G questions put to
him by Senator Hiekenlooper (R
!a), a member of the committee.
Judge Letts said a search of the
record did not disclose any instance
in which the committee or the
chairman, former Senator Tydings
iD-Md) overruled objections by
Browder to answering questions.
The judge remarked that Browder
answered freely 140 to 150 questions
"with no attempt to evade the con
equences of information imported.”
Browder’s first jail term was in
1917 when he was sentenced in
Kansas City, Mo, to serve a year
for failure to register for the draft.
