Never Agent Or Even
Comintern Member,
EisIer Tells Court
Reputed U. S.-Communist
Boss AssoiIs Stories
As Perfect Fobrieutions'
By NewboId Moves, T.

Gerhart Eisler, alleged back
stage boss of American Commu-
nists, who is charged with pass
port fraud. categorically denied
in District Court today that he
had ever been representative OF
the Communist International. +.
Eisler has been denounced as the
chief agent of the Kremlin and in
ternational Communism in the
United States.
He is being tried on the charge
that, when he applied for an alien
exit permit to his native Germany
in 1915, he fraudulently neglected to
state that he had Communist affili-
ations, had used aliases and had
been in this country in 1885 and
1886.
Il never in my life was member
of the Communist International,
Eisler told the jury. II never in my
life went any place in the whole
world as representative of the
Comintern."
Charges False, He Says.
Assertions to the contrary, &C
cording to the chubby little defend
ant, are perfect fabrications.
Eisler was asked by Abraham j
Isserman, his chief counsel
whether he now is a member of any
Communist party or affiliated with
any Communist party.
Unfortunately not Eisler re-
piled.
This, he said, is because there Il
no such thing as affiliation in the
Communist set-up and because q
man can belong to only one ma.
tional Communist party.
Until 1916 he was member of the
German Communist Party, Eislel
said. But there is now no German
Communist Party in the Russian
occupation zone where he lived
There, the Communists have merged
with the Socialists to form the So
cialist Unity Party. Eisler said, add
ing he is not member of this new
organization.
Joined Party in 1921.
The defense purpose this morning
was to show that in Communist
theory it was impossible for Eislel
to have been anything but Ger.
man Communist since he joined the
party in that country in 1921.

nti-Semitism Flares
For Fourth Successive
Day in British Cities
Jew-Boiting Mob Damages
Eight Manchester Shops;
80 Arrested in Liverpool
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 5.-A Jew
batting crowd of 700 persons
damaged eight Jewish-owned
shops in Manchester last night
and early today as anti-Semitic
incidents flared for the fourth
successive day in widely scat
tered British cities-including
London, Birmingham and Liver
pool.
Police arrested SO demonstrators
in Liverpool, where street lights
were turned on during the night
for the first time since power
saving blackout restrictions were
ordered last winter.
Several Liverpool police were in
jured battling the demonstrators
as firemen stood by ready to douse
the rioters with hoses in case the
situation got beyond police control.
Although some quarters expressed
belief that the riots were melted
by "Fascist-like" organizations, po-
lice said they thought the vandalism
was the work of irresponsible youths
rather than an organized campaign
of anti-Semitism.
Windows Are Smashed.
Shop windows were smashed in
London's Bethnal Green section,
where many Jews live, and Com
munist headquarters in the same
district also was battered. Other
window smashing outbreaks were
reported in Newcastle, Collyhurst
and Chorlton- Medlock.

Broad Powers Asked

Threatening Crisis
Labor Regime Introduces
Bill to Spur Farm and
industrial Output
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Prime Min
lister Attlee introduced surprise
legislation in the House of Com
mons today to give his govern
ment broad new powers for
increasing agricultural and in
dustrial production to meet
Britain's impending dollar crisis.
The precise powers sought for the
Labor regime were not Immediately
clear, but a highly placed source
said it did not provide for power to
direct labor.
Deputy Prime Minister Herbert
Morrison said the legislation would
make possible "the full mobilization
of the economic resources Of the
nation"
Anthony Eden, a conservative
spokesman and former foreign Sec
retary, protested that the House
could not deal with such broad legis-
lation before its scheduled adjourn
ment this week end.
May Delay Adjournment.
Mr.. Morrison replied that, if it
became necessary in the national
interest, the House could postpone
adjournment and "sit bit longer" ."
The measure introduced would ex-
pand provisions of a 1945 act under
which the government was given
added powers to direct the nations
transition from a wartime to a
peacetime basis.
The authoritative British Press
Association said the bill extends the
purposes of the act of 1945 so that
it applies to the following objectives:
"O Promoting the productivity of
industry, commerce and agriculture
(2) fostering and directing exports
and reducing imports and redressing
the balance of trade, and 90 en-
suring that the. whole resources OF
the community are used in man
ner calculated to serve the interests
of the community"
