probe Of Hollywood"
The chairman announced at the
beginning Of this congressional ses-
sion that the committee intends to
explore communism IN the movie
center. He said nothing has hap
pened that has Influenced the COM
mittee to get away" from that.
Frankly Mr.. Thomas said, II
was disappointed in Johnston's whole
testimony"
Asserting that the witness had
made zone naive statement right
after another" Mr.. Thomas listed as
examples:
THE fact that he admitted there
are some Communists in Hollywood
:" : but that the industry has done
nothing to get rid of these Com
munists.
His statement that he is not
interested in the pastel shades--the
parlor pinks or the salmon -colored
zealots who fall for every fad that
comes along
His statement that the American
moving picture industry hasn't pro-
duced any films to combat Com
munism, while he did admit that
propaganda films which had been
put out to combat Hitler and Mus
solini had been very effective"
The committee plans to issue
documentary report" probably to-
morrow, to prove that "the American
Communist is foreign agent" 1t

Clark evidence which, it believes,

list Party secretary, as bail Jump

The disputed name of Dennis

came dramatically into yesterdays
hearing when Representatives Nixon
and Mcdowell, Republican, of Penn
sylvania. at the request of Chair
man Thomas, read records obtained
from Los Angeles police, selective
service board in New York and a
vital statistics office in Seattle.
Dennis is due to face the commit
tee again on April Q. He was handed
subpoena Wednesday when he
caused a tunnult in the hearing
room by refusing to answer ques-
tions about his real name and date
and place OF birth.
! Mr.. Nixon reported the committee
has positively identified Dennis as
the Francis Eugene Waldron'' who
has been wanted by Los Angeles
police since 1880.
According to the committee rec
ord, a bench warrant was issued
against Dennis after he jumped an
appeal bond following conviction
April ID, 1880, on a misdemeanor
charge of attempting to riot. He
had been sentenced to $50 days and
a $500 fine.
"Not Fugitive
'The Los Angeles authorities do
not extradite on a misdemeanorI
charge" Mr.. Nixon stated. How
ever, the Los Angeles Police De-
partment says that if Waldron re-
turns to the Los Angeles jurisdiction
he will be apprehended and jailed.
He is not a fugitive from justice be-
cause he has already been tried. He
Is a bail Jumper on a misdemeanor
conviction"
Representative Mcdowell then

Communist revolutionary tactics de-
mand that they control the trade

fearless labor leaders," and rank

Communists.

Gov. Sigler said r. j.. Thomas
recently tried to obtain the dis
missal of a prominent. CIO labor
leader who is a good American
citizen and an outspoken two listed
opponent of Communism. He said
Mr.. Thomas has taken this typical
Communistic course" because the
leader is friendly toward the Coy
ernors' activities against the Reds.

Meanwhile, Chairman Thomas
promised that the committee will
press "a probe of Hollywood" but
Representative Nixon, Republican,
of California, a committee member
suggested that there are more I'M
portant places to direct our imme-
diate fire-f1rst the Government and
second, labor unions
Mr.. Nixon said, Those are the
two spots that are extremely i'm
pertant, so far as the defense of the
country is concerned"
Eric Johnston, president of the
Motion Picture Association, testified
to the committee yesterday that
there are Communists in the movie
capital.
But if the Communists set out to
capture Hollywood" he declared,
they have suffered an overwhelming
defeat"
Wouldn't Bar Communists.
MIR. Johnston said the. movie in
dustry is trying to set its own
house in order. But he opposed the
idea of tossing out actors and writer's
merely because they are Commu-
nists.
IF they are performing a con-
spiratorial act, yes," Mr.. Johnston
said. But in this country we prose-
cute, not persecute."
Mr.. Johnston opposed legislation
to outlaw the Communist Party.
Like several other witnesses, he pro-
posed instead pitiless exposure of
Communists and prosecuting them
to the limit for any illegal acts.
IF this is any indication of what
We might expect out there" Mr..
Thomas told newsmen, then I cer-

Dennis was born August 10, 1905, in
Seattle. His parents were married
In April, 1904. His mother died when
he was a child and his father died
: in State hospital in 1928, accord
ing to the record.
When Dennis registered as Francis
Waldron with a Selective Service
Board in New York City in October,
1910, Mr.. Mcdowell stated, he gave
his date of birth as August 10, 1904.
The effect of this. Mr.. Mcdowell
explained, was to put Dennis outside
Of the Group classification of
registrants born on or after October
II, 1904.

"It will be noted that the date is

somebody had seen them play
he'd tell the old man it was

defense"
Stagg has been quoted as say
ing Pacific's "A eleven was the
greatest team he ever coached
and the only blemish on its rec
ord was a disputed 60 setback
by Southern California. Holmes
is one of many persons who feel
that Pacific won the game but
was denied the victory by poor
officiating. Stages team scored
one touchdown on a pass that
was nullif1ed by a penalty, but
the decision that ranked Frank
most erased his 97-yard touch
down run with the kickoff after
the Trojans' touchdown.
"Art McCaffrey, an All-Amer-
lea tackle. who is with the Pitts
burgh Steelers this year, threw
the key block on that rum"
Holmes related. II had to cut to-
ward the sideline and just in
front Of Southern Calls bench one
of the officials said stepped out
of-bounds. He tried to prove it
by showing us my cleat marks,
but he forgot their players were
running in and out of the game
all afternoon and could have
made the marks. I'm positive I
didn't go out, but what could we
do? Even Stagg howled at the
officials, and they tell me he never
did anything like that before"
Apparently it would have been
a popular victory for the little
school because Holmes was
greeted in the end zone by a we'll
oiled customer who planted a
damp kiss on each cheek while
the winded halfback tried to
shake him of.

StSt Ssotf S0bVSP0Stoe"
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27.-"The
old man was a good coach, a real
good COACH" said Frank Holmes,
pausing to bend over and tie his
shoelace. Spending a year un-
der him was one of the greatest
experiences of my football career
and they may call him washed
up, too decrepit to coach, but he
was sharp-sharp as razor"
The rookie Redskin halfback
stood up to adjust kidney pad.
He's as solemn as a Judge, re-
served off the field, but as ag-
gressive as bill collector in his
working clothes. He was talking
about his year under venerable
Alonzo Stagg at the College Of
the Pacific-the 1914 Pacific team
of Viz players that unquestion-
ably was the greatest in the
schools history.
Mrs. Stagg knew as much foot
ball as he did," Holmes resumed.
'She attended every practice, sort
of keeping one eye on him and
the other on the team. But she
never interfered with us. Some-
times she'd call to him, 'Lonnie,
it's getting a little chilly now,
you'd better put on your sweater
And he'd hustle over to the side
line, get his sweater, and 60 back
to the squad"
But the old guy must have
been too archaic really to teach
football, we said. Did he actually
do any coaching?
"Sure," Holmes replied. "He
had help but lots of times Stagg
would take the ball and show us
how to run a play. He'd hum a
little ditty, "A thousand Swedes
came out Of the weeds at the
Battle of Copenhagen or some-
times it would be Yankee
Doodle but he'd sing the song
to give us the timing on the play.
1t was a show I wouldn't have
missed for anything.
And we never knew what de-
fense we were going to use until
a half hour before the game.

Racing War Looming
After Swamp Fever
Hits Rockingham
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

SALEM, N. H., Aug. 27.-As the
dread blood disease known to horse
men as swamp fever" continued
raging among the $50 thorpughbreds
quarantined at Rockingham Park,
New England's long-threatened rae
ing war today appeared to be roar
ing toward its explosive stage.
After Rockingham closes its meet
ing Saturday, more than 800 own
ers, whose horses are said to have
been insured for almost $4,000, 600,
will be forced to keep their strings
idle here for at least 80 days and,
veterinarians predict, until falls
first frost hits this rural track.
For many of the owners, such
inactivity will mean bankruptcy.
Their spokesmen, John Mcdowell
and Thomas Hoskos, representatives
of the New England division of the
Horsemen's Benevolent and Protec-
tive Association, yesterday failed to
persuade President James E. Dooley
Of Narragansett Park in Pawtucket,
r. T.. to postpone the opening Of its
, fall meeting.
DooleY, who also heads the Thor
oughbred Racing Association, told
them he could not grant their re-
quest because his track had re-
ceived assurances that enough
horses would be shipped in from
New Jersey to conduct a 30-day
meeting starting Monday.
Narragansett also will have avail
able about 200 other horses now
stabbed In It's own barns and at
nearby Lincoln Downs, newest of
the Rhode Island racing plants.
During all of Suffolk Downs sum-
mer meeting and for the first two
weeks Of the current Rockingham
session, Lincoln Downs has been
running in opposition in Rhode
Island. But q conflict between
Rockingham and Nerragansett
would upset New England racing's
status quo, for those tracks, along
with Suffolk Downs, have meshed
perfectly previously.
The latest developments in this
outbreak of infectious anemia, which
results In temperatures as high as

ruins horses for breeding purposes,
were widespread.
