Vestigators read into the record long
lists of their alleged Communist ac-
tivities.
Thomas, sole member still in Con-
gress of the original Dies Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee set up in
1898, declared: "We have found more
evidence of Communist activity in
Hollywood than any other place we
have ever investigated"
Loud sound effects punctuated the
hearings: shouting witnesses, crash
ing gavels, buzzing newsreel cameras
and the mingled boos and applause
from spectators, including glamorous
movie stars flown in from Hollywood.
Paul V. McNutt, counsel for the
Motion Picture Producers Association,
accused the committee of charging by
"insinuation and innuendo" that the
organizations he represented had tried
to stife the inquiry.
British newspapers Cleft, center and
right) characterized the inquiry as a
witch hunt" ''nauseating spectacle"
and "circus"
Commented Viscount Astor's Sum-
dag Observer, independent conserva-
tive: 'The present Red scare in Amer
lea is no doubt stimulated by the
Canadian spy revelations and the fear
that atom secrets might be stolen, but
it would be a poor bargain to keep
the atom secrets and lose the free
donls which are the secret of Ameri-
cas- greatness"
The left-of-center Reynolds Neaus
said the atmosphere of America is
such that "it takes courage even to
express the mildest liberal ideas"
adding: GAS Sam Goldwyn might
have (and probably has) said: If
Roosevelt were alive today, he would
turn over in his grave"

The communist strategy is to smash

under direction of the Russian Polit-

and slave loan conditions" thereby
precipitating (according to Moscow
an economic crisis in the United

and other dignitaries about the board. There
we're speeches from everybody - except
Captain Garrish - until Captain Garrish
made what the Commandant said afterwards
was the most eloquent speech he had ever
heard in his life 1t did not come easy. Captain
Garrish was dumb and miserable man when
they pushed him to his feet. He got more red
and more silent than ever in the applause.
And finally the Commandant himself said
almost peremptorily:
"Weu, just tell us in your own words what
happened"
Captain Garrish's Adams apple bobbed up
like red whaleboat in storm.
"Well, we seen 'em out there and went and
brung 'em in"
The Commandant himself led the tumul-
tuous applause.

10HE last of the surfmen are disappearing
i from the wide arc of sea islands which
screen the graveyard of the Atlantic, " before
the beak of Cape Hatteras, where 50 many
ships have been pounded ashore. There are
planes watching in the sky now. A whole
mass of new equipment for the saving of ships
and men is succeeding the old combination of
tough surfboats and surfmen which served
the shore and the ships for so many years.
One of the last of the surfmen was old
Captain" James Henry Garrish of Ocracoke
Island and the U. S. Coast Guard, a huge
man who never wore shoes in the summer
time, even when Coast Guard brass came
inspecting, and who sometimes astonished
visitors by striking matches on the soles of
fis feet. His real rank was warrant boatswain,
but everyone called him Captain.
Those who knew him believe that the most
panicky moment of his life was not spent
in a dune-high surf on the way to ship
in distress but at dinner when he received

ELEPHANT1AlGA. Recently we've
received some curious information
about elephants, including the fact
that the base of the trunk makes the
best eating - that is, if you were
thinking of cooking an elephant.
African natives often do just this,
and after the trunk they scramble for
such delicacies as the feet and cheeks.
The same source of information
estimates that an elephants heart
weighs 60 pounds. This seemed ex-
cessive to us, 50 we checked with a
local ZOO. AS luck would have it, one
of its elephants had just passed on
to pachydermic paradise and an
autopsy was underway at the very
moment of our call. The presiding
doctor phoned us back in half an
hour that the heart weighed tidy
25.3 pounds. Cause of death, Incl
dentally, was merely serene old age,
which leads us to remark that ele-
phants live only so or 60 years and
not a couple of hundred, as is popu-
larly supposed.
