ON GOLD PROBED
House Committee Studying
Possibility of Money
Influence.

BY the Associated Press.
Evidence as to whether money might
have been used to influence the 1888
American Legion Convention to indorse
the gold standard was sought yester-
day by the House committee studying
un-American activities.
The committee, in executive session.
turned from its inquiry into COM
munism to confer for more than two
hours with Albert G. Christmas about
money repeatedly given to Gerald C.
MacGuire.
Attorney for Clark.
Christmas was identified by the
committee as an attorney for Robert
Sterling Clark, sewing machine manu-
facturer, now in Europe.
MacGuire, employe in a New York
brokerage firm, also was interesting to
the committee because of charges by
Gen. Smedley D. Butler that MacGuire
suggested the Marine become Fascist
chief of the United States. MacGuire
was described by the committee as hav-
ing been interested in a committee
for a sound dollar" and to have been
in Chicago when the Legion Endorsed
the gold standard
While the committee hearing pro-
ceeded at the Capitol, the American
Federation of Labor downtown moved
to scotch reports that the federation
was interested in a call for Ma
tional Congress for Unemployment and
Social Insurance"
Called by Communists"
William Green, federation president,
said in a broadcast letter that this
impression was a "grievous error" and
that those who called the meeting
were Communists using the unem-
ployment insurance issue for the pur-
pose of gaining converts to their
Objectionable philosophy"
Christmas entered the House Com
mittee room during the morning to
be asked about these assertions which
the committee says MacGuire made:
That MacGuire received $4,000 from

ent. for work in connection with the
committee for a sound dollar.
Bond Purchase Money.
That Clark gave MacGuire $25,000
for the purchase of municipal bonds,
although MacGuire did not talk with
any one about bonds and bought none.
That MacGuire returned most Of
the money to Christmas, although he
had no receipts to show for it. That
Christmas gave $4,000 in cash to
MacGuire at luncheon in New York,
and that although MacGuire deposited
the money in a savings bank it was
no longer there and he did not know
what happened to it.
