 But while Taft discussed this and other issues, Mrs. Taft unwittingly stole the show with a cracking speech before a womens Republican club meeting in which she urged members to work for President Tru- mans defeat in the 1948 election.

 It was signed Eleanor Roose- welt" and was written on White House stationery, dated January II, 1889.
 Robert E. Stripping, committee investigator, produced ttc latter and read it to the committee.
 The committee is investigating how Eisler now Hollywood song writer and a native Of Germany, was allowed to remain in t. e United States.
 The letter urged Welles to study the facts in the application of EiSler and his wife for admission to the United States for perman- ent residence and bring it out in the open and let the Eislers defend themselves"
 EisIer Testifies
 On the stand earlier, Eisler had acknowledged that he joined the Communist party in Germany in 1926 cut contended he never took an active part in it and was "au- tonatically suspended for inactivity and lack of interest
 He testified he first came to the United States in 1885 and was ordered deported in 1889 He said he went to Mexico, applied for non-quota admissions to the Uni ted States for himself and his wife, was denied it, but won on an appear 10 the immigration DOaIu.

 Welles read his reply of Jan uary 24. 1889, to Mrs. Roosevelt $ first letter. He wrote that our file indicates that Mir. Eisler has been connected in some measure with Communistic organizations and the facts will therefore have to be gone into very carefully by the Consul General when he inter- views MT Eisler and his wife.

pretty in any mirror, especially on
the face of the eloquent defender
of democracy in other parts of the
world.
So urgent did the need to do
something about it appear, that
the Supreme Court agreed to review
a series of cases challenging the
legality of restrictive property
covenants that have barred Negroes
from white areas.
Hearings on these cases, the first
of their kind to reach the high
court, are scheduled for December
"a. When all the evidence is in, the
Supreme Court may say whether or
not such restrictive covenants can
be inforced in the greatest democ-
racy on earth. One may be sure
that a great many foreign eyes,
both in colored and white faces,
will be watching the result.
The court will review two Wash
ington cases dealing with restrictive
deeds, another from st. Louis,
third from Detroit, and, perhaps
additional ones from Columbus,
Ohio, and Los Angeles. 1t has been
announced by counsel for the white
property owners that they will base
their arguments on the validity OF
private contracts and on what they
regard as the weight of legal prece-
dent in similar cases in various
State courts.

Lawyers who hope to have the
covenants invalidated by the court
will assert that their enforcement
by Injunction violates the due proc

to the Constitution, as we'll as the

is enjoyed by white citizens to in

out with soap and take back my
words.
Perhaps some Of you need a little
explanation. Back in June or July
or one of those summer months
when banks are in full flower and
at their loveliest, I did a piece for
the papers describing my emotions
when I realized I needed to go to a
bank and attempt to negotiate a
500 loan.
Letters Were Explosive.
Yesterday, a batch of mail that
had accumulated in the New York
Office while I was gadding about in
South America reached me, and a
goodly part of it was from bankers.
Mercy, what those bankers had to
say to me! Fortunately, live on
the ocean and thus was able to run
out into the waves and put out the
flames when the letters got too hot.
I had always thought that bankers
were dignified, level-headed men;
cool, judicious men who never al
lowed themselves to become ruf1ed
But am telling you that I got let
ters from bankers that were every
bit as explosive as those used to
get from wrestlers back in my
sports writing days.
I never dreamed that bankers
were 50 sensitive. I thought they
had hides as tough as their vaults
but I'm all wrong. The gist of the
letters was that a bank, not the
country club, or the bowling alley
or the pool hall, was the real social
and recreation center of town or
city. The more letters I read the
more regretted that my ignorance
had kept me from spending most of
my spare time in banks. A bank
If bankers from all 48 States are to
be believed-is where one will find
the welcome mat always out; the
glad hand of fellowship and friend
ship always extended.
If q man had never been in a
bank, and based his opinion of banks
solely on the letters I got, he would
spend his last penny trying to buy a
membership in one. He would un-
doubtedly get the idea that a dance
band played there all day and half
the night; that the floor was
crowded with men and women sing
ing and laughing and calling one
another by first names; and that the
