Trotsky and Rivera
May Give Testimony
Before Dies Probers
Expected to Tell About
Communist Inrouds
In Lotin America

BY the Associated Press.
ORANGE, Tex, Dec. 7.-Exiled
Leon Trotsky and Diego Rivera,
leftist Mexican muralist, may come
to Texas in a few days to testify
on Communist inroads In Latin
America, Chairman Martin Dies,
Democrat, of Texas, Of the House
Un-Americanism Committee has
disclosed.
If permission can be obtained
from the State Department for
Trotsky to enter the United States,
q committee hearing will be held
before January 3, probably on the
Mexican border.
Mr.. Dies secretary, Robert e.
Stripping, said the hearing would
be aimed at authenticating docu-
ments obtained by committee in
vestigators who have conferred
with the exiled Russian and Rivera.
ON document purportedly discloses
Soviet instructions to its agents in
Mexico aimed at giving all belliger-
ent nations access to Mexico's oil
resources.
"The committee has no intention
Of becoming q sounding board for
Trotsky and his theories, but we
know he has access to accurate in
formation on the work OF Com
munists In Mexico and other coun-
tries, and the committee hopes to
establish the authenticity of the
document 1t has, Mr.. Stripping said.
Chairman Dies Is under physi-
cians' orders to rest for 80 days to
recuperate from his strenuous work
In recent months. The chairman
said, however, he might have to dis
regard the orders in order to con-
duct the hearing.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 7 R.-
Diego Rivera, the noted painter
hooked a thumb in the pocket of
his overall jacket last night and
said, Its all very strange" to see
Orange, Tex, dispatches announc-
ing he would appear before a
United States congressional COM
mittee investigating Communism.
Il have received no communica-
ton from the committee, and II
was interviewed by one of its in
vestigators, as the dispatch says, I
wasn't aware of It," the genial Riv-
era commented He intimated,
however, he would not be averse
to appearing.
His one-time friend, Leon Trotsky,
former Russian war minister now
in exile here and also mentioned
as a probable witness before the
Dies Committee, could not be
reached for direct comment.
Through one of his secretaries,
who customarily go about his re-
treat with pistols on their hips, he
first sent out word he knew Moth
ing about the matter. Later a sec
retary modified the statement to
the fact that Trotsky had nothing
to say"
