They crowd the State Depart
ment and can be found in many

can be found as heads of United
States embassies abroad. They
are appointed as directors Of
large concerns and Of banks.
There was a time when in the
United States the university dons
and scientists were transferred

More Representatives
May Testify tuesday
0nChrisioffeI Quorum

Six or seven members Of the
House Labor Committee probably
will be called to testify Tuesday in
the District Court perjury trial of
Harold Christoffel, former Milwau-
kee labor leader accused of lying to
the committee when he disavowed
communistic activities at hearing
last March.
The trial was recessed yesterday
until Tuesday, after seven members
of the committee had been called
to the stand by the Government in
an attempt to refute the defense
contention that the committee
lacked a quorum when Christoffel
testified. Thirteen members are re-
quired to make quorum.
Budenz May Testify Tuesday.
John S. Pratt, special assistant to
the Attorney General said another
witness Tuesday probably will be
Louis F. Budenz, former managing
editor of the Daily Worker, who
renounced communism in 1945 and
Joined the Catholic Church. Mr.
ouOClih, lIO" ell uLoGl uCIoI dt rUlu-
ham University, testified as to
ChristoffePs alleged Communist ac-
tivities before the House committee.
Defense Attorney o. John Rogge
contends the committee lacked a
quorum when Christoffel appeared
and therefore his oath is not bind
ing in a criminal case
Judge Edward M. Curran, how
ever, ruled yesterday the committee
was legally constituted body" if
as many as 13 members were
present when the afternoon session
In question was opened. He de-
clared the question Of whether some
members left and others took their
places later is irrelevant.
Testimony on 1875 Activity.
The Government went many
years into the past yesterday in an
effort to prove the 34-year-old
defendant associated with Com
munists and spoke on the aims of
Soviet Russia at meeting Of a
front" organization.
Farrell Schnering Of Milwaukee,
who said he was an official of the
party from 1881 through 1885, teSti-
fed he saw Christoffel with various
known Communists during this
period and on one occasion heard
him discuss Soviet aims before a
convention of the National Youth
Conference, described as front
organization.
The witness testified that Chris
toffel had married the former Anne
Sabljak, described as former
secretary in Communist Party head
quarters in Milwaukee and an "un-
dercover" worker in the Epworth
League of the Methodist Church.
Got "Sick Of Lying"
Mr.. Schnering said he quit the
party because AL Communists lie
as a matter Of policy and he got
sick and tired Of lying for the
cause" He said some of the Com
munists he had seen with Christof-
fel were associated with him as union
officers during the seven years the
defendant was president Of the Allis
Chalmer local of United Automobile
Workers (CIO), and president of the
Milwaukee Industrial Union Council
Six Representatives yesterday tes-
tilted they were present at the af-
ternoon session w-ten the alleged
perjury occurred: sIn addition to
Chairman Hartley, who testified
earlier in the week, they were:
Representatives McCowen Of Ohio,
Schwabe Of Missouri, Kersten Of
Wisconsin, and Smith Of Kansas, all
Republicans, and Fisher of Texas

Sales Tax Division
To Be ReOrganized


Comptroller James J. Lacy an
nounced today that he has assign
ed Walter E, Kennedy, Chief Of
the Retail Sales Tax Division, to
reorganize the Income Tax Divi-
son of the State of Maryland.
A survey of the activities and
procedure of the Income Tax Di-
vision has revealed that the staff
available has been unable to stay
abreast of the administrative end
of the work. The time required
under existing practices to ex-
anime and classify the returns
leaves little time for field investi-
cation.
1t is expected that Mr.. Kennedy,
who organized the, Retail Sales
Tax Division, and who has had
considerable experience in account
ing and business procedure, will
be able to reorganize the admin
istrative work of the Income Tax
Division so that some of the per-
sonnet will be available for assign
ment to field work for purpose of
uncovering delinquent taxpayers.
In this reorganization Mr.. Lacy
has instructed Mr.. Kennedy to
develop a, fraud division to seek
cut willful tax dodgers.
