The investigation of communism
in Hollywood, scheduled by the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities to begin September %,
got advance billing today as stu
pendous and colossal.
Almost, that is.
"It will be sensational" Repre-
sentative Nixon, Republican, OF
California predicted.
A member of the committee, Mr.
Nixon told reporters:
I'VE intend to name names and
to produce witnesses who will testify
they have seen some persons promi-
nent in Hollywood at Communist
meetings and who will report what
they said"
Just how many first dimension
stars will be brought into the hear
ings is not yet certain. Mr.. Nixon
said he thinks most big name stars
who may figure in the inquiry will
be listed as tinged with pink rather
than as bright red Communists.
The key figures in the Communist
movement in Hollywood are not well
known nationally, Mr.. Nixon said
but are important in the movie
industry.

will receive jury service question
naires within the next so days.
Montgomery is among the Mary
land counties affected by a law

in the Free State.
. The questionnaires, which also will
go to an equal number of men, will
determine the availability and quail
fications of the prospective jurors
for the November term Of Circuit
Court. For example, any one called
for jury service must be at least
Is years of age.
The names of the women to re-
ceive questionnaires will be selected

tionnaires will be chosen from a list
of the male taxable inhabitants of
the county furnished the court by
the clerk to the county commission
ers. From the 400 men and women
to whom questionnaires will be sent,
Judges Woodward and Prescott will
select approximately 100 men and
100 women. The 200 names will be
placed in box containing 13 COM
partments-one for each Of the 13
election districts in the county.

along with the foreman and the
remaining Is jurors will serve on
the petit jury,

| it is not necessary to own property
in the county to be eligible for jury
service. While atheists and Judges
of the Orphans Court are automa-
ticaliy disqualified from serzing or
the jury, anyone may be excused

Greece Sees Soviet Aim
To Continue Warfare

ATHENS, July 80 R.-Minister
of War Sophocles Venizelos de-
clared today that Russia's veto Of
American proposals for establish
ment of U. N. watchdog commits
sion in the Balkans revealed the
Soviet Unions desire that "un-
declared war" against Greece be
continued.
Greece has accused her northern
neighbors of aiding and abetting
the leftwing guerrilla forces now
battling government troops in
Northern Greece.
Premier Demetrios Maximos re-
fused to make a statement on the
Russian action, but Minister of
Public Works Stylianos Gonatas de-
clared:
"The veto does justice to our
claim that foreigners are causing
our troubles. We shall continue
calmly our endeavors to suppress
rebellion and let the great powers
whom we have warned and asked
for their assistance do their duty to
secure international peace"
Former Premier George Panan-
dreou, leader of the Social Demo-
Gratis, said in an interview:
"The anguish of the nation is only
natural, for the Soviet view is not
serving peace"

HOLLYWOOD Communist Probe
To Be Sensational Prober Says

The Californian indicated per-
sonal view that the committee might
accomplish more by training its fire
on Communists in the Government,
education, labor and other fields. But
he said the Hollywood inquiry should
be of value in giving the movie capi-
tai a dose of preventive medicine.
Spotlighting Communist influences
there, he said, may serve to prevent
Communists, in the event of another
depression, from stirring up the peo-
pie through this important medium
for influencing public opinion"
Mr.. Nixon said little evidence has
been uncovered that Communists
ever have been able to get COM
plete party line picture produced.
But there have been instances of
small bits of Red propaganda getting
into films, he said, and the commit
tee will try to trace how they got
there.
Whether any actual Hollywood
Communists or fellow travellers will
testify at the hearings, even under
subpoena, will develop later. Mr.
Nixon said they may follow the party
line of refusing to testify on grounds
they would incriminate themselves.

what belatedly, to undertake the
practical, concrete and efficacious
consolidation of our brotherhood on
basis of close political, economic,
and cultural cooperation.

the rapprochement of the Slav peo-
Piles was aimed at creating Slav
bloc were slanderous assertions of
"our enemies"

Balkans have not yet ceased to be
powder keg and hotbed of war,
Mr.. Dimitrov declared that "our
general task in the interests of both
of our peoples Is for the Balkan
Peninsula to be transformed from
powder keg into a firm pillar and
mighty factor of peace and democ-
racy. not only in this part of the
