Communist Breakdown.
He gave this breakdown of Com
munists and their sympathizers In
this country:
/. Upward of 100, 600 card-carrying
members of the Communist Party.
2. Another 100000 candidates for
party membership.
3. Approximately 4,800, 600 men,
bers of Communist front organiza-
tions.
AS for their political activity, Mr.
Steele asserted:
They are now pushing for q

tation of forming a major third
party
Mr.. Steele called the front or
ganizations far more dangerous
than the party. He explained:

Mr.. Steele said he submitted to
the War Department two months
ago a list of 1000 Army officers OF
men who are members Of the Com
munist party or of fronts.
When Representative Nixon, Re-
publican, of California commented
that all people belonging to fronts
may not be deliberately sympathetic
with the Communist party, Mr.
Steele agreed. But he estimated
that 60 per cent of the 1000 are
active party members.
Before taking the stand Mr.. Steele
gave reporters a statement saying
many of these men are now in the
Army reserve.
Their loyalty is to the Soviet
Union" the statement declared. 1t
gave this quotation from the wit
ness prepared testimony:
THE most alarming phase OF
the situation is the manner in which
these forces penetrated our armed
services, and the fact that our
Government permits in the United
States the functioning of reserved

Billy Gibson Is Found
Dead in Hotel Room;
WAS Tunney Manager
BY the Asseeiatsd Press


NEW YORK, July 2k-William
(Billy) Gibson, who guided Gene
Tunney to the world heavyweight
boxing title and Benny Leonard to
the lightweight crown, was found
dead in his room in a midtown
hotel today.
Martin Walter, hotel manager,
said Gibson apparently had died
of natural causes. He had been
living at the hotel since 1888.
Mr.. Walter said he entered the
room when a maid received no
response to a knock and found the
one-time boxing manager dead in
a chair.
Gibson, who was II, and who
in his prime was usually identified
by his ever-present polo coat, made
fortune with his handling of
Tunney and the late Leonard.
Leonard died last spring while
refereeing a boxing match.
In 1928, Gibson was hospitalized
when g sheriff's jury appointed by
the New York Supreme Court ruled
that the death of his wife two years
before had affected his mind. At
that time 1t was made a part of
the record that virtually all of Glib
sons holdings had disappeared.
In addition to managing Tunney
and Leonard, Gibson also was q
nrannoter directfr,r for q time the
flstic enterprise of the old Madison
Square Garden. He also held shows
in Havana, Cuba.

At first Judy was fascinated by the
flashlights but she soon tired OF
them and finished her act in tears.
From time immemorial, Mr.. Gar
land said, the diaper was folded in
a triangle and fastened with one pin.
About 20 years ago." he said,
squaring off the diaper and folding
it again, "the rectangular fold with
two or four pins as fasteners was
introduced in America and began
to grow in popularity.
During the war, the War Produc:-
ton Board asked the cotton mills
to conserve textiles by making
smaller diapers. The diaper was
sreduced from 30x30 inches to 27x27
inches. This called for some inven-
ton to make it work as well as the
result was the kite diaper
Mr.. Garland demonstrated by
folding a diaper first into a figure
like narrow kite, then turning the
lower end up to form pentagon.
You see," he said, holding up the
diaper proudly, with two pins it
shapes up like little training panties
with banjo seat and six folds in
front"
The latest thing in diaper tech
niques, however. Mr.. Garland con-
tinued. is the Darrahfold, named
after Mrs. Charles Darrah, Pitts
burgh nurse who invented it. The
Darrahfold goes back to the rec
tangular shape, but because 1t Is
arrived at by folding toward the
center and doubling the folds there,
it comes out with double thickness
at the outside and five thicknesses
the full length of the center.
THAT. as you know" Mr.. Garland
concluded, lis the strategic sector"
