Mexico City, Dec 8 ~ (UP) -
Diego Rivera, celebrated artist and
dissident Communist, charged today
that German Nazis and Stain Com
fnunists are converting" Mexico in
to base Of operations against all
Of the Americas, especially Mexico
and the United States.
Rivera was declining the invita-
ton Of the Dies committee Of the
United States House Of Representa-
tives to 60 to Texas and testify con-
corning anti United States activities
Of Communists.
\ His declination applied only to his
going to the United States, He said
he was willing to answer any Ques-
ton the committee wanted to ask
rin my own country" He suggested
that the committee send him dues-
tionnaire.
Rivera's former political mentor
Leon Trotsky, a father" Of the Rus
sian Communist revolution, an init
mate Of Lenin, who was exiled by
Dictator Josef Stain, said he would
60 to Texas las political duty" to
testify before the Dies committee on
any question concerning Stalinisrn.
Dies Plans Session
Dies had planned to hold hear
ing In some Texas town near the
border this month so as to hear
Trotsky tell Of the activities OF
American Communists. Trotsky spe-
I cifcally excluded this subject, say
I ing he knew nothing about their ac-
I. tivities.
Dies had also invited Rivera and
It was this invitation which the art
list declined with reservations in a
colorful press conference last nght,
He received the press In his apart
ment and came strolling in with a
large pistol sticking out Of the side
pocket Of his blue overalls.
He Is supporting the presidential
candidacy Of Juan Andrea Almazan
and opposing that of General Man
uel Avila Camancho, and, In conse-
quence, his statement reflected some
Of the partisanship Of Mexican pol
y tiles.
# Stain, Hitler Combine
He charged that the Avila Cam
ancho campaign was In "the
clutches Of the Stain Hitler COM
4 bination.' His desire. he said, was to
convince "the masses of all nations
OF the American continent Of the
need Of uniting themselves against
the common enemy. Fascism, Naz-
ism and Stalinisin". The evidence he
could give the Dies committee was
Of activities which I consider not
only un-American, but against the
while Of civilization and human
rights, carried out by Stalinists,
Nails. and Fascists."
"Inasmuch as the majority of the
points I have to make will no doubt
be concerning Mexico, which the
Na:is and Stalinists are converting
into base OF operations against all
Of America. especially Mexico and
the United States, wish to make
my declaration In my own country"
he said.

JOHNSTOWN 2 TO 5 AT ARLINGTON
ChalIedon Second Choice at 5.l Today; Sun Lover
 Heather Broom to Run

Arlington Heights, H., July p -- U.P0 Americas fastest. three- year-olds took up their stubborn pursuit of Johnstown today, this time in the $30 ,ooO-added Arlington classic, and the odds were 2-5 that none could catch him.
 Some 10000 Chicagoans took ad- vantage of clear weather and a fast track to watch Johnstown come back after month lay-off in quest for the richest purse in the middle west against eight of the strongest rivals in his division. Although handicaps virtually con. cetled tn emile and 8 quarter spin tc Big John" once they were sure the footing would be crisp, minority of fans hel dout for W. l.. Brann's Challedon, the Maryland-bred col, which conquered the Belair Bullet in the murk of the Preaknes' stakes. Challedon's price was 5-to-l on the morning line.
 Back of the two big boys came four other challengers with more than an outside chance. They were
 Millsdale Farms Sun Lover, J. H Whitneys Heather Broom. the Woolford Farm entry of Techniciar and Unerring.
 Three others, regarded as doubt. full starters, were given little con- sideration. They were Valdins Farms Viscounty, Valley Ora, Farms Total Eclipse, and Tom Tag. gart's Yale O'Nine.
 The feature is the sixth event or the eight-race card. Post time wa. 3:45 p. m. (5:45 p. m. EDT)

KAYAK FAVORED TO WIN $5O,0OO
 GALLOP TODAY
Strong Field Opposes 4 to 5 Choice at Ingle-
 wood Track

Inglewood, Cal, July 22.--UP.- Kayak II meets the severest teSt of his career today in the $50 1000 added gold cup classic at Hollywood park. Whether he is a wonder horse with a heart as stout as his illustrious stablemate, Seabiscuit, may be set- tied when the seven horse field pounds into the home stretch of the mile and one-quarter race along about 5:30 D. m. (9:30 p. m. EDTo
 There were many who believed he would shake of his rivals there and win as Q sly as he did in the last $10,0,000 Santa Anita handicap. Skeptics believed he would fade to some stretch-runner like Cravat, the secondary choice of bettors.
 Kayaks price in the mutuels was expected to shrink to 4 to 5 by the time the bugler summons the starters from the paddock-Kayak. Cravat, A. A. Baroni's Specify, My ron Selmick's Can't Wait, Maj. Austin 0. Taylor's Whichcee, Nelson Towards Gosum, and Binglin stables Olimpo, an Argentine im- port like Kayak.
 CraYat, the front-running Specify and the feather-weighted Can't Wait were regarded most likely to upset Kayak who has won 10 of his l3 races.

Backman Easy
 Tennis Winne,

George Backman, veteran city ten- his and seeded player, advanced in his quest of the East End Commu- nity club trophy which will be given to the winner of the Hamilton Park mems tennis tournament. Back man easily gained the semi finals of the tournament last night when he defeated Herb Pinter in straight sets of 6-1, so. Pinter was expect ed to give Backman his sternest op- position of the tournament thus far, but Backman's heady game and his hard drives were too much for Pinter. This victory for Backman gained him the right to meet John Stollar, youthful Chase Park repre- sentative, in the semi-fin tomor- row afternoon at 2 o'clock on the Idylwood courts. This Backman- Stollar match will be one Of age and cleverness against youth and speed Tn the other semi-final match Joe Sullivan, local clothier will meet John Tata, lanky Northender. Both Sullivan and Tata meets on an equal rating and 1t will be hard to pick the winner in advance of the match. The winners of both these semi- final matches will meet in the finals which will be held on Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock on the Idylwood courts. The winner Of the finals will be presented the East Commu- nity club trophy by Lawrence Ken- ney. president of the East End Com munity club.

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent)

story will outsell Gone With the Wind" ..
 This years prize for persistence goes to Frederic H. Rahr, inventor and promoter of the yellow baseball. He is going to have 1t adopted by the big leagues or die trying =. I am afraid, however, that the like- able Mir. Rahr Is putting his head against a stone wall, because base ball entrepeneurs have proved over and over again that the one thing they don't want is progress. The very fact that the yellow ball IS safer and, through its better visi- bility, would make for better hit- ting and fielding, operates against it. If MT. Rahr had brought out dark black ball that handi- capped play he would have had 8 much better chance to sell 1t to baseball's master minds . To one who follows as many golf tourna- ments as I do it is laugh to hear that such and such player reached eminence by great driving or pitch- ing or long iron play All golf tournaments today are settled on the putting green If you're hot on that velvet you win, and If you aren't you have prayer, no matter how long or straight you hit the ball. -.
 don't want to get into any argu- ment, but in rating the ability of baseball managers who would you say had done the best job so far this year--Joe Mccarthy or Jimmy Dukes? Mccarthy has one of the greatest teams in history out there in front Dykes has a group of misfits banging on the second place door with @ record of 16 victories in the last 20 games played. Jack Doyle's recent one round defeat in London recalls the remark someone made about the Irish thrush. He oughta quit singing Mother Machree and fight her" That is, of course, if Mother Machree would spot him 10 or 12 pounds. If they hook up in Saratoga in August, and the chances that they will are good, I'll have to take Kayak II to lick Johnstown. The South Ameri- can champion can go 1t, be 1t on lightning fast track or one up to here in goo Speaking of Johns- town and Kayak II, they'll breeze to wins in California and Illinois today. ...
