Mrs. Helen R. Bryan (left) and Mrs. Ernestina G. Fleischman, both of New York City, are shown arriving at U.S. District Court building today to being their three-month prison terms for contempt of Congress. The two were among 17 officials of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee cited for contempt by the House in 1946 after they had refused to turn over records of the organization to the House Unamerican Activities Committee.
