Auer Says Russia CIu|

Support Of Dewey
BY the Associated Press.

by tue ASSOCIATED Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. t. Film
Comedian Mischa Auer has been ex-
PEELED from the Russian American
Club Of Los Angeles because Of
statements he made in speeches
favoring the presidential candidacy
of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, the actor
has disclosed.
Mr.. Auer, who was vice president
of the club, said letter he received
from the Board of Trustees charged
he had "indulged in malicious at
tacks against his own motherland,
Russia, and against the democratic
traditions of America"
The 39-year-old comedian, who
came to this country from Russia in
1920, told reporter his sympathies
are with the Russian people, but
that he is against communizing
America and want others to leave
the American way of life alone"
Mr.. Auer said he sent letter to
the Board of Trustees, stating that
the reasons given for his expulsion
were that Il made certain state
ments attacking my motherland and
the democratic traditions of America
and that while I had every right to
support any candidate pleased, the
club had decided by unanimous vote
to support President Roosevelt for a
fourth term"
1T is hard for me to understand,
wrote Mr.. Auer, "how anybody could
at the same time attack both the
Communism of Russia and the dem
ocratic traditions of America. That
would be facing both ways, indeed.
Il am even accused of being SO
undemocratic as to echo the senti-
ments of Gov. Bricker. Inasmuch
as Gov. Bricker won nearly half of
the votes in the last election, there
must be we'll over 100000 Amer
leans who are similarly guilty of
disloyalty to America as we'll as to
