Approval Of Clapp
In IVA Post Hinges
On Communism Quiz
BY ths Assoeiossd Press

A committees decision ON wheth-
er, 1t believes Gordon r. Clapp has
Communist leanings apparently will
De deciding factor in whether 1t
recommends or disapproves his
domination to dictatorship OF the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
The committee will begin its sixth
day of hearings into the contested
nomination tomorrow when it will
continue its inquiry into the polit-
ical opinions of MIR. Clapp. Senator
McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee
opposes confirmation.
The nominee, general manager OF
IVA for many years, has consist
entity denied he is a Communist or
has Communist sympathies.
Two witnesses at the hearing yes
terday declared iva workers gen.
orally regarded MFR. Clapp as a.
Communist sympathizer.
Former Dies Prober Heard.
Robert B. Barker, a former in
vestigator for the House Un-Amer-
lean Activities Committee, who also
testified on alleged communism in
the IVA, said in answer to ques-
ton by Senator McKeller that Her
bert S. Marks was generally known
as Communist"
Mr.. Marks, former iva employe,
now is general counsel for the
Atomic Energy Commission, headed
by David E.. Lilienthal, whom Mr.
Clapp would succeed on the iva
board.
At its meeting tomorrow, the COM
nlittee will hear further testimony
from L. B. Bolt, jr., former IVA
attorney, who told members yester-
day that Mr. Clapp was a 100 per
cent, stooge for David E. Lilienthal"
Chairman Revercomb told report
ers the committee will decide in
closed session whether or not to call
another former iva employe. Henry
G. Hart, jr, member of a prominent
Nashville, Tenn, family.
Mr.. Hart, who told Dies Com
mittee investigation in 1910 that he
had once been a Communist and had
later renounced the party, is for
mer Army officer and now student
at the University of Wisconsin.
Named as Writer of Letter.
While iva employe, the young
man was named by Knoxville news
papers as the writer of a letter to
Communist Party leader In Bir-
mingham, Ala, describing Com
munist progress within iva.
Another former iva employe,
James Smith of Knoxville, told the
committee yesterday one of the chief
reasons why Mr.. Clapp's name was
linked with Communism was that
Mr.. Hart was retained at iva after
publication of the letter Mr. Smith
said he himself was fired because
he was blocking Communist Party
expansion" in IVA.
Senator Revercomb has asked the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities to conduct further
search in its files for the original
copy or a Photographic copy of the
alleged Hart letter. The House
committee reported yesterday it had
only a mimeographed copy.
Testifying yesterday, MIR. Bolt said
Mr.. Clapp was mo. 2 man in per-
sonal, rather vicious political clique
within TVA)." He said Mr. Lilien-
thai had been able to name Mr..
Clapp general manager and thereby
obtain "viselike grip on the whole

if he hits-the batter runs to what
is normally third base. He is guided
incidentally by another wire which
runs along the base line and on
which he can rest a hand.
Three basemen stand directly be-
hind the pitcher, their function be-
ing to stop the ring in its backward
travel along the wire. If the first
one, the first basemen, can stop it.

catcher at the plate before the bat

it, but it is a highly exciting vari-
alton on the game. And, as Pete
photographs it, much more drama

playing by Ear" is Pete's perfect
title for this item 1t tells the story
of how the blind are taught to play
golf, baseball and other ball games
which those with sight have been
breaking their hearts over for cen
turies.
Every one who has ever missed an
eight-inch putt, left an odd pin
standing on what should have been
a-strike in bowling, or struck out
with three on bases in a ball game
should see Playing by Ear
AS Pete's sightless players per-
form, they make you think you were
crazy to listen to that coach's ad-
vice to keep your eye on the ball
These athletes, blinded in the war or
in other ways, play entirely by ear
and brilliantly.
The most brilliant of the lot-and
you don't believe it until you see it
is the blind golfer who sinks a 30
foot putt on green that looks no
better than some of those you may
have been playing lately.
X X X X
Leading character in playing by
Ear" is fellow named Bob Ander-
son. For him there should be a spe-
cial Hall of Fame. Although you
may never have heard of him, he
cerainly is one of the most remark
able athletes who ever lived. He is
an expert at all the games illus
trated in the latest Smith short,
most expert perhaps in golf.
Anderson, a great athlete in his
seeing days, became blind IA years
ago. Sports were his love and he
refused to abandon them. He began
to experiment with ways to play
them without vision, to supplant the
seemingly all important sense of
sight with more highly developed
senses of hearing and touch.
The results of these years of patti
ent experiment he is now passing
along to others as coach of one of
the most fascinating aggregations OF
athletes ever assembled.
X X X X
Golf for the blind, which seems
incredible until you see playing by
Ear" turns out to be comparatively
simple. The first steps, of course,
are teaching the muscle eoordina-
ton that goes into the use of the
different clubs. Once this has been
mastered, actual play begins.
Line of ball fight is given to the
player by the caddy, who also calls
off yardage between the ball lie and
the green. The shots illustrated in
the film are little short of astound-
ing, especially to any one who has
learned from bitter experience what
follows failure to keep an eye on
the ball. Apart from the putt men,
toned previously, the most miraeu-
lous shot by Anderson is one made
from well-tracked sand-trap.
Even after seeing that one, you
have doubts that it can be done.
The best piece of imagination that
is illustrated in playing by Ear"
is that which has developed the
variation of baseball.
Instead of a ball, a metal ring
that travels along wire is used,
The pitcher propels the ring along
the wire at speeds which vary from
Bob Feller's fireball rate to the
dawdling "blooper" introduced by
Rip SeWell. The batter judges the
position of the ring by the sound
it makes as it travels along the
wire.
To keep the batter from running
into wire which is slightly above
belt level, bases are run from left
to right, instead of In the standard
game. In other words, after he hits
