This effort comes at a time when
the Soviet Republic is strenuously
striving to poison the minds Of all
other nations against US. 1t would
seem stupid to permit its sympa-
thizers, whether many or few, to nest
in Hollywood or anywhere else where
they have an opportunity to drop the
white lead in the coffee cups of our
own people. The job Of putting an end
tc this should commend itself to
every normal American. Yet, what
has happened? Immediately the COM
Inittee started to sustain the charge,
which every informed man knows to
be true, that Hollywood is a hotbed
of communism, the individuals af-
fected, plus their hired attorneys,
their radical supporters, all the cheap
little left-wing agtators, journalists
and politicians set up a tremendous
caterwauling about their "constitu-
tional rights

"PhOnuS BOlOnuS"

If the men who rule Russia have a
sense of humor (Which is not toe
sure) they must be laughing until
their sides ache over the manner in
which they have been able to handle
the investigation of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities in
to Communist saturation of and in
fluence on the moving picture indus
try.
On the other hand, many discern
ing citizens of this country are filled
with humiliation and chagrin. 1t is
no laughing matter with them. For
the plain truth is the Communists
have made monkeys Of US in this
business of showing them up, Instead
of themselves being discredited, they
have almost succeeded in discrediting
the investigation. Instead of suffering
from exposure Of their subversive
enterprises, they have made Congress
seem silly and our system inept.
The mortifying phase of this is that
it has been accomplished through re-
sort to the great traditional inSti-
tutions upon which this nation was
founded and to the destruction of
which all Communists are pledged.
In addition, they have had the en-
thusiastc aid of many of our "lead-
ing liberals" literary and political.
Also of the CIO, all the radical
publications and, strangely enough,
some usually conservative newspapers
whose dctcstation OF all things COM
munistic is not to be doubted. I'm
doubtedly, the fumbling of the COM
mittee has been factor, too. But the
real effects were achieved by the
sickness with which individuals seek
ing to overthrow the American sys-
TEN sheltered themselves under its
wings. 1t really is an astounding eX-
hibition. Here is a great industry, the
psychological effect of which on the
American people is hard to eXagger-
ate. And here is a committee of Con-
gress charged with uncovering un-
American activities making an honest
(no matter how clumsy effort to
drive out the anti-American propa-
gandists known to infest it.

TNIFTEEN years ago l was crime
reporter in London. One night
was walking by the Adelphi Theater
in the Strand, when a stocky red
haired man with the sharpest fea-
lures have ever seen jumped on me.
Before knew what was happen
ing, he had given me the worst
shellacking of my life Worse than
any ever got in short and inglori-
Gus career in the prize ring.
The police rescued me. Next day
he got three months in the gaol, and
was earmarked for deportation to his
native Australia.
In vain l tried to find out what he
had against me. All he would snarl
was, "I'll fix you yet"

crime in which one of his friends had
figured, or perhaps he had lost
some money betting on me when
was in the fight game.
UNTIL one night in the old Fred
Payne bar in Paris, entirely forgot
the incident. The year was 1885, and
l was editing the Paris edition of an
American newsreel.
Again as in London, had no time
to defend myself. l remembered that
queer-looking face, the flaming red
hair. I didn't see the blackjack.
Three days later came to pain
full consciousness in the American
Hospital at Neuilly. Red had got
away, the police had no clue, and
they were not interested. Trouble in
Pigalle was an old story to the
gendarmes. But I still have the scar
on my forehead.
My friends kidded me unmer-
cifully. You'd better get yourself a
bodyguard," they laughed.

every red-haired man l saw. Even
the most harmless of them made me
nervous.
One night in 1899 was sitting in
the R,.ban Bieu, little night spot
on the French Riviera. Most of the
clients were professional gamblers or
celebrities on a spree.
In MY party was a handsome
Italian boxer, a blonde millionaire
divorce, and fabulous White Rus
sian beauty with an Afghan hound,
named Dushka.
All at once, it seemed to me, there
was formidable silence in the place.
The warm, scented atmosphere sud-
denly went cold and clammy. Dushka
barked. My scar began to throb.
A red-haired, sharp-faced man,
stouter now, and wearing a white
tuxedo, had come in. He halted in
front of our table.
I stood up and went into action.
Remembering a trick l had learned
in the ring, I jabbed at his chin with
a straight left, ducked his right
swing, and hit him hard with my
right. Then I forgot to duck. was

On VI day, back in New York

around to see whose fist had cap

1t was Red, and there was murder
in his eyes. Two men he pushed aside
to get room went in a heap. Then
fists started flying, but fast.
Second Avenue bars have efficient
systems for dealing with such incl
dents. Soon we were sprawled on the
sidewalk, with a few innocent by
ISLANDERS thrown out for good measure.
Red hadn't Jared so well. His lip
was bleeding, and his collar was torn.
But he was full of fight. He came
barging in. swinging madly, Before
he could get at me. my buddies had
clamped couple of judo holds on
him. They sat him on the sidewalk.
"WHAT's the trouble, bud?" l
asked. knew this was the original
Red who had licked me in London
and blackjacked me in Paris. What
have l done to you, anyway"
He didn't speak. His sharp-featured
face got purple. He tried to jump at
me, and beloved as the judo holds
cracked on his muscles.
Finally he talked. Walters" he
cried. YOU'RE dirty. low-down,
double-crossing rat-you know it.
1t took all of us quite time to
convince him that my name was not
Walters, and that had never been
