WIDELY KNOWN
 PERSONS IN PROBE
Private Investigator Re- vealed Them as Un.Amer-
 ican Names Unrevealed

Los Angeles, July Si --(UP)- A state legislative committee investi- gating un-American activities de- cides today whether to make pub- lie in full the testimony of Capt. Charles c. Bakcsy, a private in- vestigator' He named "so many widely known persons" that his testimony was censored.
 Richard Combs, general counsel for the committee, said Bakcsy con- vinced the committee in executive session that his Information was authentic"
 Tt will be censored pending care- full inquiry in accordance with the committees pledge to the public not to smear anyone or bandy names about" Combs said.
 Bakcsy, middle-aged, short and heavily built, came to the United States in 1898, and served in the navy during the Spanish American war. He said he had investigated Communists and other radicals for the Department of Justice, the navy and other federal agencies since 1916 as private agent.
 Part Is Omitted
 His testimony. emitting that part concerning widely known" persons was:
 He became fellow traveller" of the Communist party and paid $5,- GOO to establish a complete Con- munist library at his home in Palo Alto. Cal
 My home became a Communist headquarters, and I became good friends with such prominent people as Lincoln Steffens, Michale Gal kovich, Soviet consul at San Fran cisco; Michael Aisenstein, Soviet commissar of heavy industry, in charge of west coast activities, with headquarters at Palo Alto; his wife, Tamara, and Mir and Mrs. Albert Rhys Williams" he said.
 He said the AiSensteins suddenly decided to leave the United States and he offered to buy their summer home, paying $l00 down.
 We went to look over the place and fumbling in her large handbag Tamara inadvertently exposed the contents Of an envelope which noticed contained about 50, $20 bills.
 Later that day we went to the Williams home and I found jout that number of college professors, some of them still on the faculties of our educational institutions, were preparing pamphlets for the Com munist party.
 Money Pays for Books
 "Tamara told me the envelope and the money 1t contained were for Rhys Williams when he finished a book"
 (Williams has written several books and. articles on Russian cus- toms, life and the revolution.)
 He said he tried to delay the deal for the house until police could raid 1t, and finally Aisenstein re- fused to sell 1t to him.
 ''I went to Washington by plane and gave the evidence I had to con. gress in May. l936." he testified.
 Bakcsy said he was known among Communists as Capt. Charles J. Sharkey." but his double game" ended when he was returning from Washington to Los Angeles. He learned at Salt Lake City that two Los Angeles men were on their way to discipline" him.
 T got them into my car and took them out to a cemetery and beat the devil out Of them." he said. T never had any more trouble with the disciplinary committee"
