While House Is Implicated In Communist Propaganda
 Films; Committee Reports

WASHINGTON, May 28.-tR- A subcommittee reported to the House Un-American Activities Com mittee today that some of the most fragrant Communist propaganda films were produced as result of White House pressure"
 The report did not say who oc- cupied the White House at the time the films were produced.
 The report was based on an in vestigation recently completed in Hollywood by Chairman J. Parnell Thomas R-NJD and Rep McDowell (R-Pa).
 The subcommittee reported, also, that the National Labor Relations Board has given great aid to the Communists in their efforts to in- filtrate and control the motion pie ture industry"
 The report did not say who in the White House or Labor Board was responsible for helping Com munism in the movie capitol, nor did it say when such assistance was given.
 The report recommended that;
 l. The full committee intensity it's investigation of Communist in- fluences in the motion picture in- dustry" with view to public hear ings here at the earliest possible date.
 2. The committee subpoena Com munist actors. writers, directors and producers and confront them in public session with the testimony and evidence against them''
 In addition, the report proposed an investigation to determine the responsibility and extent of the in- fluence and interference on the part of government agencies or of ficials in the production of fragrant Communist propaganda films"

The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - It looks as if politics had entered into the fight against cancer.
 That is the only interpretation placed upon the strange fact that James Adams, chairman of the Am erican Cancer Society and also chairman of the giant Standard Brands Corporation never friendly toward the Truman administration, has told the Senate the cancer so- ciety did not want approximately $5, 100000.
 The House of Representatives earlier voted $17,328,0 ,000 for study of the disease which claims 175.0OO American lives per year. Ordinarily the House of Representatives is much more parsimonious than the Senate. Time after time, House penny pinhing has been restored by the Senate. But this time even the leading nickel-nursers in the House of Representatives did not balk at the sl7,328,000 voted for cancer research.
 When the appropriation got over to the Senate, however, a strange thing happened. The much more generous Senate voted to cut the Sl7,328, 900 down to $12.0O0,0O0. Rea- son for the Senate action was tes-

Ruling Is Made on Work Stoppdge Meetings for
 Discussing Problems

SAN FRANCISCO. May 28.--tar-- A Labor Relations Committee rul- ing was studied today by CIC longshore officials planning a series of work storpage meetings up and down the coast to discuss contract problems.
 Clark Kerr, Chairman of the committee, ruled that all such meetings must be held during over time or holiday hours.

He also suggested that the San Francisco Bay area ILWU choose another opening hour than 10 am. Thursday.
 ILWU officials called meetings tonight and tomorrow at all Pacific coast ports to vote on a mo con- tract-no work" policy when their contracts with the waterfront ex- pire June l5. Portland members al- ready have voted but the vote has not been tailed.
 Kerr said that none of the meet ings can last longer than six con- secutive hours and that union hir- ing halls must remain open.
 He made the ruling after M. c. Ringeberg, President of the Wash ington Waterfront Employers wired a protest of plans for the Seattle 5 to T pm. session Thursday Rim eeberg called 1t contract viola tion" and asked Kerr to call off the meeting.
 Los Angeles-Long Beach and Portland dock workers planned meetings tonight.
 The ILWU has rejected water front proposals to extend the con- tracts three months and countered with proposals to extend them a year.

KANSAS CITY, May 28-tR- Primary election ballots checked by a County Grand Jury in it's investi- gation of alleged vote frauds were reported missing today from the vault of the Kansas City Board of Election Commissions.
 Ludwick Graves, Chairman of the Board, said both doors of the large storage vaul. in the County Court house had been pried open and three ballot boxes containing bal lots checked by the Grand Jury had been opened"
 One of the boxes" he added "is definitely empty"

 Slaughter, running for reelection, was defeated by Enos Axtell who was endorsed both by President Truman and James M. Pendergast, head of a Kansas City Democratic faction. Axtell was defeated in the general election by Albert M. Reeves, Republican.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Jan. A.
North Carolina's White Phantoms

Jim Hamilton, one of the two

most of the season because of in
juries, is reported packing up to
leave town and it is rumored that
he will be traded to the Los Angeles
Rams. But again no comment from

It wouldn't take two minutes to
start rumors about every member OF
the squad because Edwards will not
hesitate to make a deal that will

reliable source says couple of deals
have been made but announcement
is being withheld until all parties
involved are in agreement. In the
National League player must re-
port to his new club before any trade
is considered legal and binding.
Most of the Redskin plans for AT
are only beginning to jell. Edwards
expects to bring in a score or more
of draftees for preliminary trials
here before proceeding to camp next
August and it is probable that many
lesser lights will supplant highly
publicized stars who won't even go

Signing ofMcKee, SyrocuseA Ace,

By Lewis F. Atchison

Paul Mckee, 6.foot-3, 220-pound
end from Syracuse, has signed a
Redskin contract, it was announced
last night, beginning the overhaul
ing job Coach Turk Edwards hopes
will give his team the National Foot
ball Leagues 1947 championship.
Mckee is not the only new player
under contract to the Redskins. Pub
licity Director Dick McCann said
the club would announce more
names this week. Future announce
ments hinge on word from Edwards,
due back from a West Coast trip
this week, and President George P.
Marshall, who is hibernating on the
coast.
Mckee was drafted by the Tribe
two years ago and since has been
on it's reserve list. He was a Marine
Corps first lieutenant during the war
and played enough football to at
tract the eye of Dick Hanley, one
time Northwestern coach, who called
him "the finest end I've seen in a
long time Mckee presently is COM

There will be no more one-game
stands for Georgetown University
basket ball teams during the Christ
mas holidays, such as the one that
cost them an 11-point defeat at the
hands of North Carolina State last
week.
Rome Schwagel, director of ath-
letics at the Hilltop, said yesterday
the good college basket ball teams
no longer could afford to take a two
week layoff during the holiday
season and that he had scheduled
extended road trips for the Hoyas
from December 81 through January
a in 1947 and 194S.
1--WE have one trip scheduled
: through the South and Southwest" :"
Schwagel said yesterday, "and one
to the Pacific Coast, which is pend
ing. If the Coast deal falls through,
we'll double back through the
Southern teams a second time"
By this time it is obvious that
Hoya Coach Elmer Ripley's speech
delivered at the beginning OF the
season, in which he said he had the
greatest team in the country, three
all Americas and II first string
players" was planted for publicity
purposes.
Trouble Just Ahead.
The Hoyas have lost to Penn
State, a team that has played four
games in addition to Georgetown
and lost three of them. They looked
bad in losing to N. C. State. They
should get by Kings Point next
Wednesday for victory No. 6, but
then trouble follows in George
Washington, st. Louis and Western
Kentucky, particularly the latter.
The Kentucky team beat Bowling
Green by 20 points last week.
Ripley is wishing that statement
about strength 12-deep was true,
After his first five men, Ripley has
appeared to be undecided as to his
replacements and some OF the ex-
Hoya players and the college coaches
have been criticizing Ripley for not
using 6-foot-4 Ken Brown and b.

For Three Basket
TiIts This Week

Revising its original strategy to
fit the needs of the moment,
George Washington's court team
will use the pivot this week against
Kings Point Merchant Marine, Navy
and Maryland.
We'll keep the fast break, too,
said Coach Otis Zahn, "but we're
using the pivot to take advantage
of our height. I've had Barry Kreis-
berg and Don McNary on it and
they've looked good in practice.
think it will give us more scoring
power and we'll need it in the con-
ference"
Meanwhile, G. w. has been weak
ened by the temporary loss of Moe
Schulman, reserve guard, who has
dropped out of sports to concentrate
on studies. Schulman, however, has
Zahn's permission to rejoin the
squad when he gets his grades back
to par.
George Washington will play all
three of this weeks opponents
cold" as Zahn neither has seen nor
had any of them secuted. The Colo
malls open their postholiday activi-
ties Tuesday night against Kings
Point at Tech High School gym at
$3.50. Wednesday they have an en-
gagement with Navy at Annapolis,
and Friday takes them to College
Park for a tilt with Maryland.
Zahn saw North Carolina State
humble Georgetown last week and
was impressed by the Wolfpack's
power, but not dismayed.
"I think G. w. has enough power
to figure in the Southern Conference
championship" he said. Were
aiming for the tournament. Cnce
in it anything can happen-as North

foot-3 George Benigni to greater
advantage.
Both players give Georgetown the
height it lacks but have seen little
action to date, although they came
to the Hoyas with great high school
regulations, Benigni at Mount Car
mel in Chicago and Brown at Mum
Gle, Ind. Ripleys answer is that the
big boys do not fit into his system
at present.
Schwagel admitted that two boys
who would have given the George
town starting team the necessary
height were ticketed for the Hilltop
but turned up elsewhere. One OF
them, 6-foot-4 Connie Simmons went
from high school to pro ball and Is
playing for the Boston Celtics in the
Basket Ball Association of America.
AS it is now, Georgetown has to click
on phenomenal number of shots to
offset its lack of height.
Georgetown Crowd Pleaser.
Win or lose, Georgetown is crowd
pleaser. The Hoyas are ball handling
experts and have been well coached
in this respect. Andy Kostecka and
Danny Kraus are terrific as individ-
uals. The team works the ball in pro-
fessional style, some beautiful blind
pass plays and cuts, but, to date, 1t
hasn't won enough ball games.
The Hoyas are badly crippled at
present with Ray Corley sidelined
with a broken right wrist, suffered
against N. c. State, Kraus in bed
with a fever after playing against
State when he was ill and Kostecka
off his feet after aggravating a leg
injury. In addition Ed Brembs &C
quired bashed-up nose.
Schwagel was not referring to this
years injuries but he said that in
the long trips planned for the future
| it would be necessary to get players
with endurance who could take the
punishment meted out on one-night
stands.
It's an old Schwagel saying, Wait
| till next year"
