Chairman of Un-American Probe Group Makes Sen.
 satiOnaI Charge

Washington, July l.-(UP)- Chairman Martin Dies, D., Tex, of the house un-A American activities in- vestigation committee, said today he had evidence that one organization burned its records just before com- mittee agents arrived at its offices.
 He declined to reveal the name of the organization or its location and said no word of operations now under way could be divulged because of the danger that other records would be destroyed.
 Chairman Samuel Dickstein, D., N. Y, of the house immigration committee, charged recently that de. lay in beginning investigations had allowed organizations to destroy evidence of vital importance.
 Dies said his group now plans to meet in Washington early in August to hear testimony of pa- patriotic organizations which have done independent work in revealing un-American activities and foreign propaganda.
 The committee will then decide whether to send 8 subcommittee or go as a body to the west coast, as tentatively planned.

 Whether Gray had just received the letter from Newcastle and whether 1t had bearing on his death had not been determined by Poice Captain J. J. Jones. He said there was a possibility that friend might have been driving Gray to a hospital after an accidental shoot ing, and becoming panicky, had parked the car and fled. Jones said, however, that in this case 1t was not likely that Grays body would have been behind the steering wheel.

500 TO BE KILLED
 OVER WEEKEND

Hartford, Conn, July 1 - CU.PJ -Actuaries of Travellers Insurance Company estimated today that 500 persons would be killed by automo- piles and 14,000 others would be in- jured over the holiday weekend.
 The prediction was based on ex- periences in previous years when July 4 fell on Sunday or Mon- day.
 Deaths from fireworks were con- sidered mo longer a major factor in the fatality list" and were expected to be relatively low.
 Drownings, however, 1t was said will reach their summer peak this weekend and may be expected to account for from 150 to 200 lives" The company announced reduc- tion of 10 per cent in motor fatal itie.s during the first six months of this year as compared with the same period a year ago, resulting Tn saving of 3210 lives. Non-fatal in- juries decreased 9.5 per cent.
 Safer and slower driving were said to have been responsible for the decreases, rather than weather, geographical factors or a slackening in travel.
