Earl Carroll Witness.
Earl Carroll, Hollywood Snowman,
and a group of small manufacturers
also appeared before the House
committee.
Mr.. Carroll said James C. Petril-
los American Federation of Musi-
clans had forced him to hire three
$120-a-week musicians he does not
need for his Hollywood theater-res-
taurant. The place, he said, has a
12-piece orchestra and he has re-
fused to write scores for the rmde-
sired trio.
He charged the three extras
just showed up on orders of the
local AIM boss and that he pays
their salaries under protest because
he does not want his establishment
closed by strike. At the same time,
he added, the union Arbitrarily
demanded a 20 per cent wage in
crease which he paid without argu-
ment or negotiation.
Mr.. Carroll said there had been
mo collective bargaining" in his
dealing with four other unions in
his place.
Mr.. Carroll said he had received
no threats, but on advice of rela-
tives and friends a bodyguard es-
corted him to a plane in Los An
geles and another will pick me up
In New York"
Members Of the committee re-
ceived Carroll statement and a
booklet containing photographs of
scantily clad Carroll "cuties."
Representative Smith remarked
that if the union leaders are as ar
bitrary as Mr.. Carroll described
they might even force you to put
on girls who are not the most beau
tiful in the world" The boast of
Mr.. CAROLS showplace is Through
these portals pass the most beautiful
girls in the world"
The representatives of small man
ufacturing firms were introduced by
Dewitt Emery, president of the
National Small Business Mems As
sociation. They cited such union
"abuses" as secondary boycotts, jur-
isdictional strike and use of vio-
lence. which they said was destroy
ing their businesses.

AT 10Th Annual Party

Almost 1000 Shriners and their
guests celebrated the 10th Annual
Potentate's Party last night at the
Mayflower Hotel.
Bedouin costumes, be-fezzed cele-
brants and reedy music contributed
to the Oriental atmosphere in fete
Ralph M. Wolfe.
Besides Washington business and
professional men, those attending
included Government officials and
military leaders. Among them were
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson,
House Majority Leader, Halleck,
Republican, of Indiana, and Gen.
Carl Spaatz of the Army Air Forces.
Ceremonies began with the grand
entry of Potentate Wolfe, who
held court while burnoose- but
unsheikish looking cohorts produced
oriental dissonance with flute like
instruments.
The dinner was opened with
singing of the National Anthem
by Jean Warner, NBC vocalist.
Other entertainers included the
Dansettes, Dick and Dot Remy,
comedy novelty team; Roy Pickard,
"Zany of the xylophone," panto-
mime by the Calgary Brothers, Billy
Wells and -Four Fays, and the Buc-
cancers, SeXtet.

the whole party program in eight
weeks. But he told Mr.. Reece the
question now is, Are we going to
have it done in % weeks?"
Mr.. Reece agreed the 'impatience'
is due in some degree to lack of un-
derstanding. He said many with
whom he talked on recent swing
about the country failed to realize
that the new Congress elected last
November did not take Office until
January, or that longer time was
needed to organize under a wholly
new legislative procedure.
Some people seem to have wanted
immediate action once committees
were organized, Mr.. Reece said. But
he added such course would have
exposed the party to the same rub
ber stamp" criticism which the Re-
pubhcans leveled at the first Roose-
welt administration.
Must Revise Democratic Party.
Mr.. Sullivan has been given the
task, under the direction of Demo-
cratic National Chairman Hanne-
gan, of revamping and rebuilding
the party's national organization
and instilling new life. F&
He already has brought into the
organization Creekmore Faith of
Austin, Tex, as his assistant, and
Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse of
Connecticut as executive director of
the Women's Division of the COM
mittee. After Oscar r. Ewing re-
signed as vice chairman, Mr.. Sui
livan also took that post.
Sam ONeal, director Of publicity
of the Democratic committee, has
submitted his resignation to become
effective April IS. Mr.. Sullivan is in
search of another publicity director,
an officer who must necessarily play
a part of great Importance during
the precampaign period and during
the campaign itself.
1t has been rumored in some
quarters that there is also the pos
sibility of change in the Office of
national committee treasurer, now
held by George Killion, although
that change is not likely to come
Immediately.

Virginia, Arthur B. Koontz and Hrs.
Carl B. Galbraith.
Meanwhile, on the other side of
the political fence, Chairman Car
roll Reece of the Republican Ma
tional Committee agreed last night
with Senator Baldwin, Republican,
of Connecticut, that "the Republi-
cans back home are impatient" for
action by Congress on important
issues and renewed his call for
party unity and team-play."
1t was this party unity plea by
Mr.. Reece i'll an editorial in the
Republican News that aroused the
ire of Senator Morse, Republican,
of Oregon. Senator Morse, in a Sem
ate speech, called the editorial a
"brazen demand for reactionary con-
troll of the Republican Party"
Mr.. Reece did not mention the
Morse attack in replying to a letter
from Senator Baldwin in which the
Senator expressed deep concern"
about the party's obligations. But
Mr. Reece wrote:
"As chairman of the Republican
National Committee, allow me to
make it clear that the committee
recognizes full we'll that the primary
responsibility for the formulation
and execution of the legislative pro-
gram rests with the Republican
members of the Senate and the
House, and there is no disposition
on the part of the committee to at
tempt any infringement upon pre-
negatives of Congress.
Record Important in 1948.
He agreed with Senator Baldwin
that the record made by this Con-
gress will have an important bear
ing on the 1948 presidential election.
Since the most important respon-
sibility of the committee is to elect
a Republican President and Vice
President, he said, the facilities of
the committee are available to all
Republicans in Congress.
Senator Baldwin, who spear
headed the successful move of the
drst-term Senators for a greater
voice in party councils, wrote Mr.
Reece March 5 that a recent Gallup
poll showed the political trend "is
no longer in our direction" He
added this could be changed if the
Republicans become vigorous and
like-minded' in putting across a
constructive and far-reaching pro-
gram
Senator Baldwin said the impa-
tience among Republicans back
home was unreasonable" for they
seemed to be demanding action on

engaged in fighting the theology.

Representative Smith, Republi-
can, of Kansas, asked Mr.. Murray
DO you believe that member
of the Guild can 60 someplace and
report the news objectively?"
Yes, sir. They do 1t every day.
MI. Murray replied.
Gould he be objective if he were
a member of the Guild and also OF
the Communist Party?" Mr.. Smith
asked.
mo, sir. 7 do not think Com
munists report the news objective

it's solely because he's Communist
and not because he's a guild mem
ber."
Representative MacKinnon, Re-
publican, of Minnesota wanted to
know If Mr. Murray favored out
lawing the Communist Party.
L am sorry I can't go along with
that suggestion" he said. First,
I am a believer in democracy. Sec
ond, I think it would be very
dangerous, driving them under

tain morbid attraction to some
people in that sort of subterranean
organization"
Could Have Met Demands.
On the subject of the closing Of
the Stern papers, Mr.. Murray said
he believed Mr.. Stern could have
met the Guild wage demands in
full and still maintained profitable
position, adding that it was not
necessary for Mr.. Stern to grant
every demand Of the Guild to obtain
a reasonable contract settlement" f"
THE deplorable fact is that Mr..
Sterns conduct" he continued, "in
closing his plants not only to the
$50 striking Guild members but to

Mr.. Murray testified against a
proposal which would classify news

tators as professionals" and deny
them union bargaining rights. He

Answer: The reason for the leak
