Challenges Committees Authority.
Dennis said he challenged the au-
thority of the committee to issue
8 subpoena.
AS soon as Dennis had taken the
witness chair, Mr.. STRIPPING asked
him to give his real name"
I'm known as Eugene Dennis" !"
the Communist official replied. "And
under that name I am now giving
testimony"
Have you ever gone under any
other name?" Mr. Stripping pursued.
THAT is quite irrelevant" the
witness retorted angrily. @What-
ever other name I may or may not
have gone under. I have never sui
lied my honor or the honor of the
United States"
Turning to Committee Chairman
Thomas, Dennis pointed to Mr..
Stripping and asserted that "the
underling of this committee is not
qualified to question me-"
Chairman Thomas and other
members of the committee then
took up the questioning.

Mr.. Thomas asked him whether
he had ever taken out a passport in

point" Dennis responded. II may

That has nothing to do with this

BY this time Dennis was flushed
with anger and was shaking his
finger at the various committee

Insurgents Reported
To Have Begun Drive
On Paraguay Capital
By fhs Assoeiofsd Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Mar. 2e.-The
Brazilian news agency Asapress
quoted the Paraguayan rebel radio
today as saying the insurgents had
started an offensive toward Asun-
cion, tanning out southwark from
Conception in the direction Of the
capital.
1.-THE rebels have started their first
movements Of a great offensive to-
ward Asuncion," Asapress quoted the
Conception radio as saying. The
broadcast called the drive a slow
march, adding:
with weapons and ammunition
furnished by the Chaco garrison,
the power of the rebel offensive
is greatly increasing"
Headed for Port Rosario.
Another rebel broadcast heard in
Argentina said the insurgents were
under command of Col Alfredo Ra-
mos and that some units were head
ed for Port Rosario, key to the de-
fense of the Paraguayan capital.
Port Rosario is 81 miles north OF
Asuncion on the Paraguay River.
Other rebel units were reported
approaching the Jejui-Guazu River,
Just south of the Loyalist strong
hold Of San Pedro, but were said
not to have crossed the river
One rebel claim, which the Para
guam government had not confirmed,
was that the rebels had overrun
San Pedro after defeating Loyalist
troops. However, correspondent
for the Buenos Aires newspaper Ell
Mundo, said, Everything indicates
the insurgents are trying to isolate
San Pedro"
Rebel Positions Attacked.
A report direct from Asuncion,
which the government had not con-
firu1ed, said Loyalist troops sup
ported by planes and river torpedo
boat were attacking rebel positions
at Ybapobo, 16 miles south OF Con-
cepcion.
The Buenos Aires newspaper La
Nacion reported from the Para
guayan border that rebel planes had
appeared over Asuncion, where food
was scarce, terrorizing the capital
and causing thousands to flee.

comment on the proposal itself.
House committee officials said
service Of subpoena might put
Dennis In the position Of being cited
for contempt of Congress If at his
later appearance he refuses to pro-
vide information requested by the
committee.
In the prepared statement which
ne failed to read to the committee,
Dennis stated he had come ito de-
fend the inalienable right OF Amer
leans to be Communists and the
Constitutional right Of the Com
munist Party to function as a legal
political party which openly pre-
sents its views, its program and its
candidates to the American people.
Denies Foreign Dictation.
He asserted that the proposed bills
to outlaw the party would nullify the
Constitution and the Bill OF Rights
and also prevent the American peo-
pie from promoting social progress
of the nation by democratic means.
He denied that the Communist
party seeks to overthrow the United
States by violence or that 1t Is SUD-
ject to foreign dictation.
Before the hearing this morning,
three Communist pamphlets were
distributed at the press table and
among the audience. One was q
booklet written by Dennis, The Peo-
pie Against the Trusts" Another
was entitled, "Is Communism Un-
American" The third was a copy OF
the constitution of the Communist
party Of the United States.
C. of C. Witness Heard.
The Dennis statement contended
that Congress, instead OF passing
legislation to outlaw the Commun-
list party, should pass joint resolu-
ton declaring that the Communist
party is entitled to the same pro-
lection given all other American
citizens.
Opposition to outlawing the party
was voiced by today's first witness,
DR.. Emerson Schmidt, secretary OF
the United States Chamber of Com
merce Committee on Socialism and
Communism.
DR.. Schmidt suggested that the
most effective way to combat the
party would be by q Justice De-
partment official pronouncement de-
aning it as an agency Of foreign
power. This, he explained, would
make the party subject directly to
an existing statute requiring full
statement of activities, membership
lists and finances.
Stricter Control Seen.
It also would provide for stricter
control of the party under a statute
prohibiting United States citizens or
foreign agents from attempting to
influence relations between this

The Washington Board of Trade

companion legislation to the Senate

unn1ask the party and show it in its
real light as an instrument whereby
American citizens have become
agents of foreign power and trail
tors to their own government.
But suppression of the party by
statute would only drive its activ-
tiles underground. It would make
the party functionaries more subtle,
more discreet and conceivably more
effective"
The committee yesterday after
noon heard a spokesman for the
American Veterans Of World War II
recommend that the Communist
Party be banned because it consti-
tutes a conspiracy against the Amer
ican way of life and the United
States Government.

the funds cuts stick after hearing
Democratic criticism that their
highly publicized economy move has
';bogged down."
Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriations Committee COM
mented: :.
1--WE Republicans are determined
to do our job and if the administra-
tors cannot give sufficient service
on the appropriations granted, then
we manifestly need new administra-
tors
Mr.. Taber pointed to yesterdays
passage-by a vote of 343 to 39-of
the 81 1884, 4,5S6,700 appropriation for
the Labor Department and the Fed
eral Security Agency as evidence
that Republicans not only intend to
"cut to the bone," but to dismiss
agency heads they do not regard as
suitable.
Statistics Bureau Cut Further.
The bills total was $7S, 1926 $50 be-
low budget estimates and coupled
with the already-passed Treasury
Post Office supply bill, brought to
s975, ,898, ,270 the budget reductions
voted by the House this year.
The House Republican member
ship not only upheld its Appropria-
tions Committee on every recon-
mended flash, but went further and
cut an additional 81 ,000, 900 from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. This re-
duced BIS funds to 2,373,400 as
compared with its request for S.
100000.
Evan Clague. commissioner of
BIS, told reporters that about 1000
employees would have to be dis
missed, leaving only 900 on the staff.
He said it would mean elimination Of
many statistics now provided on
prices, wages, strikes, housing, etc.
Vote on Party Lines.
The voting followed party lines
almost without variation as the
House batted down Democratic
drives to add funds for the veterans
job placement service, the Con-
ciliation Service, hospital construc-
ton, the National Labor Relations
Board and other bureaus within
the Labor Department and FSA.
MIR. Taber's defense of COP econ
omy moves followed claim by Rep
resentative Gore, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, that Republican budget
cutting so far has fallen far short
of the rate necessary to accomplish
the promised 16 per cent, $6,0O0,-
100000 reduction.
With a little more than 40 per
cent of the Presidents $37, SOC, 100000
budget for the fiscal year 1948 al
ready disposed of by the House, Mr..
Gore said, reductions have been less
than per cent, if "phonies" are not
considered and slightly over 6 per
cent "if you consider the phonies."
The "phonies," Mr.. Gore declared,
are reductions in appropriations for
tax refunds and for aid to States
for hospital construction.

ton that there is a peaceful and

Austin to Air U. S. Proposals.
Meanwhile, President Truman's
proposals for American aid to Greece
and Turkey were expected to re-
ceive an airing before the United
Nations Friday when Warren r.
Austin makes statement to the
Security Council on the situation in
those countries.
The world peace-keeping organi-
zation yesterday revised its schedule
especially in order to hear what
the American U. N. representative
has to say about the proposals.
which have been interpreted in
some quarters as showing lack Of
faith in the United Nations.
Mr.. Austin told reporters in
Washington yesterday after a con-
ference with Mr.. Truman that he
would IDEAL thoroughly" with the
Greek border situation and also the
Turkish problem.
Authoritative sources here said
1t was safe to assume" that he
would mention the Presidents pro-
jected plans to aid Greece and
Turkey financially. The basic aim
of the American plans is to shore
up the two governments against
communism. .,..s
Truman Sends Message. r
Immediately after Mr.. Austin an
nounced he would make statement
to the Security Council relating to
Greece and Turkey, President Tru-
man disclosed he had sent mes
sage to MIR. Lie on the first anniver-
sary of the initial U. N. meeting in
the United States.
Repledging full faith in the world
organization, Mr.. Truman said: =
The United States in all lbs acts,
seeks to add strength to the United
Nations and to give effect to the
principles and purposes of the
United Nations Charter"
Mr.. Truman's statement was con-
sidered by observers here to be
aimed apparently at quieting fears
that the new American policy-spe-
cifically regarding Greece and Tur-
key-would damage the U. Ms pres
tige. American delegation experts
here have argued that the American
action in the East Mediterranean
will strengthen rather than weaken
the hand of the United Nations.

that ave have much evidence that
Eugene Dennis Is not his proper
name"
He added that the committee
should not allow Dennis to testify
under a phony name"
When Mr.. Dennis persisted in his
refusal to answer the questions
about his name and further inquiries
about his place and date of birth,
Chairman Thomas cautioned him:
IF you don't answer these ques-
tions, we will serve you with sub
poena. You asked to testify before
this committee and received permis-
sion to do so for two hours today.
We are going to identify you before
you are allowed to testify"
Witness Is Excused.
The blowup came when Mr.. Strip
ling asked: When and where were
you born?"
Dennis: "Mr. Chairman"
Chairman Thomas: II want you
to answer the question"
Dennis: did you ask any other
witnesses that question:"
Mr.. Thomas: Were asking it Of
you"
Dennis: "The color of my hair
is gray. I'm in my early 40s-."
Mr.. Thomas: mo, no, no. We
don't want that. No, no. Mr..
STRIPPING, serve a subpoena on this
man. He's through for the day.
You're excused"
Capitol police crowded around.
One seized Dennis by the arm, as
MIR. Stripping arrived with the sub
poena.
Dennis told reporters he chal-
lenged the committees authority to
issue the subpoena for three rea-
sons.
First, the Congress of the United
States has not specified exactly the
authority of this committee.
Second, the Communist Party and
Communism are not un-American
and do not come under the jurisdic-
tion of this committee.
Third, this committee Is un-

The committee arranged to hear
later today FBI Director ]. Edgar
Hoover's idea on outlawing the

Labor Schwellenbach already has
advocated.

In introducing the bill, Senator
