Three Youths Escape
AS Car PIunges Down
Embankment, Burns

The second near-miraculous es-
cape from death in as many days
i nths Washington area was re-
ported this morning when three
men crawled to safety after their
automobile ricocheted from guard
rail, cut through q barrbed-wirs
fence, rolled down q 15-foot EN-.
bankment and burst into flames.
Montgomery County police said
the three men, all medical corps
men stationed at the Bethesda Naval
Medical Center, crawled from the
wreckage before 1t started to burn.
The accident occurred about 4
miles west of Rockville.
Injured were:
Robert L. Provencal, 10, the driver,
who suffered head injuries; William
J. Hausherr. 10. head cuts and, and
John Pake, 20, leg scratches.
After being taken to the Naval
Hospital by the Rockville Rescue
Squad, Mr.. Provencal and Mr..
Hausherr were admitted while Mr..
Pake was treated and released.
Police said the driver of the 1895
Chevrolet sedan told them he failed
to make curve on bridge over
Muddy Branch. They said that the
car struck the guard rail on the
bridge, slid along the rail for about
as feet and crashed through q

from st. Elizabeths Hospital, Mr..
Ewing said, but the hospital is re-
imbursed by the FSA for the cooks
part-time services in the admini-
strator's private dining room.
Defends Practice.
Declaring he had been assured by
his budget officers that such finan-
cial procedure was entirely proper,
Mr.. Ewing defended the practice
and said he intended to go ahead
with it.
Asked whether the hospital en-
ploye would cook the noon meal
today, the administrator replied
that he didn't know but he hoped so.
Precedent existed, Mr.. Ewing en-
phasized, for having such luncheons
for executives and for official guests
who come to Washington on Federal
business.
Mr.. Ewing said he pays for all the
food consumed at these special
luncheons out of his own pocket
and at no cost to the Government.
Cook Testifies.
Testifying before the committee
yesterday, the st. Elizabeths cook
said that on the day he cooks for
Mr.. Ewing he spends about five
hours there and the rest Of the day
at the hospital. Ofiicials estimated
on the basis of this that to date the
cook had spent about so days total
time preparing meals for the FSA
chief and his guests.
Leo Miller, Mr.. Ewing's assistant,
defended the entertainment projec.
and declared 1t involved good public
relations.
The Appropriations subcommittee
made no charges against Mr.. Ewing
during the hearing as to his use Of
appropriations.
H. E. Finnegan, chief Of the per-
sonnet section at the hospital, and
Mildred P. Bennett, chief dietitian,
also testified.

"betraying the Chinese people by
supporting financially and militarily
the most hated and corrupt Chang

THE sufferings of the Chinese
people have been prolonged, the
American taxpayers money has
been thrown down a rat-hole and
the traditional friendship between
China and the United States has
been damaged" by American aid to

Budenz Declares Reds
Ordered Civil War if
US. EnteredWarin 90
BY the Associated Rrssx

HONOLULU, Aug. eff the
United States had joined Britain in
the last war before the German in
vasion Of Russia, American Com
munists would have tried to pro-
mote civil war, says Louis Budenz.
The former editor of the New
Fork Communist Daily Worker, who
deserted the party and became .
Catholic. testified yesterday at .
hearing for two veteran Hawaiian
teachers, accused Of being Com
munists. MIR. Budenz will be cross
examined today.
He testified that in 1899, before
violation Of the German Russian
nonaggression pact, American Reds
were ordered to stand on the side
of Russia in case Of American entry
into the war against Germany.
Told of Inside Workings.
For four hours Mr.. Budenz told
of the inside workings of the Com
munist Party. Never once did he
mention the names of the two &C
cused teachers, DR.. and Mrs. John
e. Reinecke, who were suspended
last November by the Hawaii School
Board. The current hearing is to
decide whether they shall be per-
manently ousted.
Mr.. Budenz said an expanded and
intensified Communist inflltration
Of Hawaii was ordered in June, 1915.
The 1889 order for American Com
munists to be prepared to start q
civil war in the United States came
from Communist Leader Eugene
Dennis, Mr.. Budenz said. Dennis is
now general secretary of the Com
munist Party in the United States.
Hawaii Infiltration Discussed.
In June, 1915, Mr.. Budenz testi-
ned, he heard a discussion OF the
Hawaiian inf1ltration plans at a
session of the party's National Po-
litical Committee.
He said the committee, which was
the policy making organ OF the
Communist Party, ordered the in
filtration along a new party line"
Mr.. Budenz explained that the
party line" changed at that time
from the policy in vogue at the
Teheran conference, when the Com
munists talked of lasting peace with
the Western countries, to one OF
,"cold war tactics and attacks on
American policy as imperialistic."

| There's no mistake about that" Mr.
Mundt said.
"The Investigator believes that
testimony taken from this witness
will lead to another new witness and
between them they will break the
case next week, "the acting chair
man added.
The mystery man, said Mr.. Mundt
has very definitely corroborative
evidence "of the stories told by Miss
Bentley and Mr.. Chambers as to the
existence of Communist apparatus
in Government. But he does not
necessarily know the idividuals in
volved in the underground machin-
cry, Mr.. Mundt explained.
Hiss Denies Chambers Charges.
That apparently lets the mystery
man out in the committees efforts
to resolve the Hiss Chambers con-
troversy.
Testifying under oath yesterday
Mr.. Hiss fatty denied that he hae
ever been a member of the Com.
munist Party. He said as far as hi
knew, he had never laid eyes on Mr.
Chambers.
Two days earlier, Mr.. Chamber.
not only put Mr.. Hiss name on 6
list of underground leaders but de.
scrlbed a touching scene when hi
said he went to Mr.. Hiss home tt
urge him to break with the party
On that occasion, he had testified
he left Mr.. Hiss in tears but firm ir
his refusal not to break with the
Communists.
Mr.. Mundt said if the results Of
further investigation of both Mr.
Hiss and Mr.. Chambers show some
body is guilty OF perjury, we cite
him"
The acting chairman said there
may be an "out"-a case of mis-
taken identity or use of false
name.
We're not sure perjury is in
volved," he said, "but at the present
there seems to be an unusual con-
f1ict Of testimony"
Committee Divided in Views.
Mr.. Mundt conceded that Mr.. Hiss
made rather convincing and per-
suasive case"
In, fact he revealed, the commit
tee members are divided on which
man to believe.
After the investigators make their
report, he said, both Mr.. Hiss and
Mr.. Chambers will be recalled to
the stand.
Mr.. Mundt went on to declare that
If ultimately Mr.. Hiss can establish
the truth of his statements, che
should give the committee a vote
Of thanks"
He pointed out Mr.. Hiss had tes-
titled that then Secretary Of State
Byrnes had asked him about reports
he was a Communist in 1916. He
added that then Undersecretary OF
State Dean Acheson issued state
ment about Mr.. Hiss late in 194e
in which, Mr.. Mundt said, Mr.
Acheson was trying to allay rumors
that Mr.. Hiss was a Communist.
This is the first opportunity Mr.
Hiss has had any place to deny, un-
der oath at a public hearing, these
charges against himself" Mr.. Mundt
declared.
