A Lewis comment on recent jailing of Prof S L Popkin for his refusal to answer Govt's questions about Pentagon papers compares action to jailing of Dr E K Barsky, who refused to give House Un-Amer Activities Com records of Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Com; says both cases are alike in showing how vindictive men may use law to threaten interests of privacy and professional integrity; says Govt's claim of citizen's traditional duty to testify is notably weak in Popkin case because Govt has shown so little need for answers to questions it asks except in terms of 'fishing expedition'
