Subpoenaed Red
Fails 10 Appear TO
Testify 10 Dies Group
Communist Secretary
Was Called to Tell of Card
Bearing RooseveIt's Name
By the Associated Press.

Bv the Associated Press.
The Dies Committee ran into a
new difficulty today in its effort to
find out who was responsible for the
issuance of Communist party
membership card inscribed with he
name OF Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Committee officials announced
that George Powers, identified as
district secretary of the Communist
party in Allegheny County, Pa, had
failed to appear at committee head
quarters today at the time fixed in
subpoena served on him in Pitts
burgh yesterday.
Robert Stripping, secretary of the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities, told newsmen that Mr..
Powers was directed to appear at 10
am. An hour later, he said, the
Communist official had not shown
up. A telephone call to railway Of
ficials in Pittsburgh established
that he picked up ticket furnished
by the committee last night and
boarded train which was scheduled
to reach the Capital early today. Mr..
Stripping suggested that he might
be comforting with Communist lead
ers here.
The subpoena was served on Mr..
Powers yesterday following the
questioning of James H. Dolsen,
another Communist leader. in Pitts
burgh last Saturday. when the
membership card bearing the name
of Franklin D. Roosevelt was taken
in his ROOM
Before the committee here, Mr..
Dolsen said he knew President
Roosevelt was not a member of the
Communist party.
When Mr.. Dolsen declined to
answer questions about party affairs
and some of his own activities the
Dies Committee decided to start
contempt proceedings against him.
Chairman Dies issued a warning
last night that he would seek to
have every Communist leader in the
United States sent to Jail for con-
tempt unless they furnished the
committee complete list of Com
munist party members.

Tuition for Nom Residents.
One OF a series of legislative riders
attached to the bill would force all
nonresident children who enroll in
the public schools in the future to
pay tuition as prescribed by the
Board of Education. The subcom-
mittee said it was advised during
hearings on the bill that at the
present time there are between
2,700 and $500 children living in
Maryland and Virginia attending
the schools and that last year their
education cost the District about
$265 900.
The subcommittee took the posi-
ton 1t is unfair" for this burden
to be borne by taxpayers of the Dis
trict.
The long sought goal of employees
at Gallinger Hospital and the Tuber-
culosis Sanatoria at Glenn Dale,
Nd, for a shorter work week was
recognized by the subcommittee
which included funds in the bill for
personnel increases chiefly for that
purpose Nurses and employees in
the dietetic departments at Glenn
Dale, it was said, are working from
49l2 to Sc hours week. The pro-
posed increase in staff. according to
the subcommittee, will permit the
establishment of 44-hour week
for those employees.
Eight More Jail Guards.
Eight of the 13 additional guards
the Budget Bureau approved for the
enlarged District Jail were allowed
in the bill, but funds were denied
for 10 additional guards and a chief
steward at the workhouse and re-
formatory. The subcommittee report.
however, did praise the "efficient"
administration of affairs at these
two institutions.
THE so-called prison industries
are we'll planned and organized and
are being carried on under INTEL
ligent direction" the report de-
clared. discipline among the
prisoners is good and the physical
condition Of the plant is excellent.
Believing that economies in the
electric bill at the two institutions
might be effected if power was
generated by their own Diesel or
steam plants, the , subcommittee
recommended that District officials
make a careful study of the ques-
ton.

Mippy did not argue. She. like

had seen the tragic ending. What
the next step meant, she did not

step must be taken.
IL wasn't in Jan To be an out
