London, Feb. 6.

The_Cominunist Member of Parliament, Phil Piratin, who struck the Press, Association Parliamentary reporter T. D. Lucy in an in- cident in the House of Commons cafeteria on December 19, was today declared by the Com- mittee of Privilege to be "guilty of gross con- tempt of the House."

The

Committee also found that Lucy's demand for an explanation an hour and a half later was "couched in provocative térms" and that he 'had insulted Mr. Piratin. They therefore found

him guilty of "contempt of the House.'
