Reds in u. ). Have
No Foreign Contacts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Earl Browder told Congress today
that he did not know of American
Communists having any contacts
outside the United States" since
November. 1910.
Browder, former Communist party
leader, made the statement before
the House Committee Investigating
Un-American Activities.
He told the committee, however,
he could be sure only that no
contacts" existed up until July, l945,
when he was replaced as party chief
by William T. Foster.
In answer to further questioning
he said he is still a Communist
party member but added:
Il am not active at present. I am
unemployed"
Objects to Questions.
Browder frequently objected to
questioning on grounds that it dealt
with political opinions, which are
outside the scope of this committee" :"
At one point he remarked he could
not answer many questions because
he is no longer a party official.
When members asked if this meant
they should question others BroWder
replied:
1T would be better if no one is
called unless we have a real inveS-
tigation and not a smear campaign.
Chairman Wood interrupted to
tell Browder, We'll have no insinu-
atlons of smear campaign by this
committee We will have a fair in
vestigation"
Davis Request Rejected.
Before Browder was questioned
counsel for Benjamin Davis, Negro
vice president of the party. asked
that Davis be heard first. The COM
mittee refused.
AS the committee concluded the
morning session Davis arose and
asked the group to lend this witch
hunt"
He told the committee Il want to
protest against this delay in hearing
my testimony. 1t is taking valuable
time from my work"
I'VE will accommodate you as
quickly as we can," Chairman Wood
replied 1--WE are not interested in
what you brand this Investigation"
Committee members said they
want more data about the party's
August reorganization which result
ed in Browder's replacement by
Foster.
Questioning of Davis regarding
his campaign for reelection to New
York's City Council was planned.
In this connection committeeman
called Edward j. Loughlin, Tam
many Hall leader. to explain his
groups Endorsement later with

ter operation in the District and
nearby areas.
Besides the Warner groups, the
suit named Warner executives and
others who, it is claimed, fit into the
alleged monopoly.
The suit asks that the court ap-
point such receivers and trustees
as may be necessary and appropriate
to effectuate a dissolution of said
Warner circuit, Stanley Co. of Amer
lea, Inc, or other affiliates and sub
salaries of Warner Bros Pictures,
Inc, operating or holding theater

But the United Nations Relief

said in it's second quarterly re-
port that these countries them
selves would furnish about w per
cent of their own needs.
Total import requirements, ex-
elusive of those of Russia and
China, were estimated at $780,
10000, of which UNRRA will
chip in $4,000, 900, 900.
However, the international relief

slow in coming. &
Even though the main back of
the Nazi military power may be
broken before long," the report
said, sit may take some time to
clean up pockets of Nazi resist
ance. If this eventually does &C.
cur, UNRRA may also be limited,
by such military operations, in
carrying out fully the tasks for
which it was created"
