Electronic Corporation Of Amer
lea. During the war, Novick en-
ployed Gailmor and Johannes
Steel to preach the Communist
Party line by radio to Ameri-
cans, and had the effrontery to
charge the expense to the people
by adding It to the price Of Sc
crst equipment which he manu-
featured for the Army. Gailmor
ID an alias for Margolis. Steel
is an alias for Stahl. Steel, for
merly Stahl came here Is 4 Ger
man refugee from Adolf Hitler
after 4 period Of participation in
or collabor alton with thu Nazi
movement. After victory ID Eur
ops, the War Department, Spois-
oned with the political infection
that was needed in by agents
who were graduates Of Harvard
Law, invited Steel to visit the
triumphant American armies in
Germany. AZ q crowning insult
to the Americans who had fought
to make Germany safe for Johan

hung 4 medal on him for some
imaginary service In the war.

rupted at one point by John Nc
Dowell, Of Pennsylvania, the
chairman Of this subcommittee,
with q warning that at would
be well Tor you and your coun-
sci to pay some thought to the
penalties for perjury" which
were ''very severe.
The purpose Il this sxatnina-
ton was to SHOW that Novick

lance with Adams. He professed
not to remember many contribu-
tons which he had made to Or
carnations that are NAMED as
Communist fronts on the official
roster Of the committee and the
Depar tment Of Justice.
The hearing closed on a note
reminiscent Of the ominous fury
Of the patriotic pre-Fascist TIA
uans and prs-Nazi Germans n
sainst treacherous ingratss who
had come among them for asy-
lum.
The committee finally had COR
nered Novick and made him ad-
nit that:
He did vouch for Arthur
Adams as an old and trusted
employee Of one Of his many &C.
tive and inactive" corporations.
Thus he assisted 4 man to enter
the country who was now accus-
ed Of being an agent Of the So
Wet secret police, who came to
get atomic information" and
''radar information.
He believed" he had employ
ed Frank L. Asher, Of AS Con-
trail Park West, who was iden-
titled for the record al "the Sec

ployed Carl Bristol. notorious T.
mons those exposed by the Con-

was employed also by the Com
munist publication, the New
Masses. He admitted. too, af-
ter much squirming that Ne had
given money to the New Masses
but denied that he knew it was
4 Communist paper.
