By International News Service

DR.. william A. Writ, head Of
the Gary (Ind.) school system,
who charged that the socalled
members Of the Administrations
"brain trust" told him last sum-
mer of their plans to conduct the
country into a communistic
state, may get chance to tell
his story before a Congressional
investigating committee, it ap-
peared today. 49,.
Representative Bulwinkle O0
Of North Carolina said today he
would introduce a resolution next
week to investigate his SenSar
tional charge.
No Names Cited
Writ told Of his conversations
with members Of the Socalled
"brain trust" in a letter to James
H. Rand, jr., Of the Committee Of
the Nation, which Rand read to
the committee which Is consider
ing the stock Exchange regular
tion bill. Writ did not name the
"brain trust" with whom he
talked. .
But, according to his account
he said they told him:
1--WE believe We have Mr..
Roosevelt in the middle Of .
swift stream and that the cur
rent Is 20 strong that he can"
not turn back or escape from
it. We believe we can keep MIR.
Roosevelt there until We are
ready to suppIant him With .
Stalin.. We all think Mr. ROose-
welt is only the KercnSky Oe
this revolution.
Chairman Rayburn Of the
House Interstate Commerce Com
n1ittee, before which the letter
was read, said he had no tnten-
ton Of calling Writ to testify.
Move Supported
The hearing is due to close
today. Representative Rayburn
said:
"Just q lot Of billingsgate.
He can't add anything to our
information about the stock
exchange bill. From my con-
facts with members Of the So
called brain trust, I think
Wlrt's statements are . lot Of
fOOlishnesS." -....
But Bulwinkle said he thought
they ought not to 60 unchal-
lenged, and he proposed to ask
the House to consider them.
In that position, he was sup
ported by some other members

HAZEN PLEA

District Commissioner Melvin
C. Hazen today appeared before
the Budget Bureau to urge that
an appropriation be included in
the fiscal 1886 budget to curb
the breeding of mosquitoes in
the District.
It is understood that President
Roosevelt favors resumption of
the local war on the disease
spreading pest, the last appropria-
ton for this purpose having been
made in 1888, when 100000 was
made available. During 1882,
$45,0 was used by the District
in the war against mosquitoes.
Under the plans being consid-
cred by District officials, Civilian
Conservation Corps men would be
used to carry on the work.
Local officials will confer with
officials of the U. S. Public Health
Service, the Park and Planning
Commission, and the Interior De-
partment in the best methods to
combat the pest. District SAM
tary Engineer j. B. Gordon will
direct the activities.
