Completes Law Course.
He had begun his law course at
Georgetown while secretary to the
Excise Board, and now decided to
complete it. On graduation he hung
out his shingle here for a while and
then went back home again and was
admitted to the New Jersey bar. He
became assistant corporation coun-
sci of Jersey City in 1880 and re-
mained in that Office until his elec-
tion to the House 10 years ago.
AS for the House Committee on
Un-American Activities, now a
standing committee, he said 1t will
pursue its "own policy with fair
ness and thoroughness.
There's not going to be any per-
secution, and we're going to avoid
sensationalism," he said. We're
not going to strive after publicity
for publicity's sake.
"One of our first jobs will be to
come to some approximation of the
field of activity which the committee
is to engage in. We're going to find
out first what will be covered by the
term un-Amefican."

Bills Mailed 10 4 Million
For 'Unforgiven' Taxes
Ry the Associated Pre-,

By the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
announced yesterday that separate
bills are being mailed to about
100000 citizens who postponed
paying part of their "unforgiven'
income taxes.
The collection will be taken up no
later than March Is. The amount
due totals 5000, 0,000, 900.
When the pay-as-you-go system
started, Congress Cancelled in most
cases at least rs per cent of the 1912
or 1943 tax, whichever was smaller
At least half of the unforgiven por-
tion-if any-was due by March Is,
1914. The rest is coming due now.
The reason for sending separate
bills is this: Fifty million people
have to file 1914 income tax returns
by March Is, but only 10000 of
them have to pay any unforgiven
taxes from 1943.

Dies Successor Says Probers
Will Avoid |SensotionoIism'
Representative Hart
DisIikes Publicity;
Plans Thorough Job
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS.

Through hail of brickbats
and bouquets, the Dies Committee
plowed up and down the Nations
front pages for six controversial
years. Its successor, the Hart Com
mittee, right now is the center of
considerable speculation. How will
1t go about its job?
One clue to the answer is that red
haired Ed Hart, Martin Dies sue
cessor. doesn't like to see his picture
in the papers.
I'm not photogenic, anyway, so
you can't blame me-" he explained.
Short on Biography.
Another clue is his biography In
the Congressional Record, one OF the
shortest in the book. Here it is:
Edward j. Hart, Democrat, law
yer, Jersey City"
But the man who heads the newly
constituted House Committee on I'm
American Activities and who might
play significant part in influencing
many peoples thinking during criti-
cal wartime years, could have said a
lot more. He just doesn't like to
talk about himself.
For instance, Ed Hart is Demo-
cratic State chairman of New Jersey
"a fairly big job in itself. His close
association with Mayor Frank Hague
of Jersey City made no difference to
the CIO Political Action Committee,
which supported him last fall for bis
sixth term in Congress.
Ardent Party Worker.
At 81, Mr.. Hart is acquainted with
practically everybody in New Jersey
who counts politically and can prac-
tically walk up and down the State
blindfolded. Since 1919 he has
stumped every nook and Granny at
election time-always in the party of
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor and Senator. He figures that
in that time he has made 1900
speeches to keep the party flame
burning"
Thirty years ago-when his hair
was strawberry red"-he played
the leading role in an amateur pro-
duction of 1.-The County Chair
man" in st. Peters Hall, Jersey City.
From that time until today he's been
a cigar smoker.
81 had to lean to smoke cigars
for the part and I've been at 1t ever
since" he said, putting away.
Georgetown Graduate. 9
Born in Jersey City, he attended
st. Peters College there and received
A. B. and M. A. degrees. He was
graduated at Georgetown University
Law School here in 1924.
One of his earliest jobs was as
secretary to the District Excise
Board, which controlled issuance of
retail liquor licenses here in pre-
Volstead days. He held Tat post
from 1913 until 1917, when prohibi-
ton tossed him out.
He went back to Jersey City and

CITY is CHALLENGE
To CHURCHES

Deploring the lawlessness, disin-
tegration Of family life, and moral
collapse evident today throughout
America, DR.. Claiming A. Richard
son, of the Methodist Board of
Missions, says: In general this
moral breakdown is to be found in
those areas where missionary needs
are the greatest-both in urban and
rural fields. These are missionary
fields. If America is to save civili-
zation, it is perfectly evident that
We cannot neglect those fields" He
adds that the ministry of the
church must be determined by the
type OF neighborhood 1t serves, the
people, their advantages. or disad-
vantages, their opportunities or lack
Of opportunities. When a church S
neighborhood has changed, the
church has too often kept in its
traditional way for members and
officiary who live miles away New
groups who move in without notice
are not being cared for, though
they pass the church doors many
times a day. The cities are
yet largely unchurched The city is
still a supreme challenge for the
church"

DR.. Brown pointed out that were
