.Ex-Communist Tells
Probe Of Houndinq
After Quitting Party
BY the As.oeias.d prsss

A former Communist testified
yesterday that his one-time COM
rades bounded him with filthy
gossip and lies" and drove him from
his home after he quit the Com
munist Party.
George A. Mulkey, 47. organizer
for the AFL Electricians Union,
told q House Labor Subcommittee:
IT was q member Of the Com
munist Party from 1928 to late
1880.
Then a change occurred In the
Comintern. It took on q reactionary
trend. It tried to inforce discipline.
Up I'll then, 1t had been fun"
Mulkey testified that he was
driven from his Seattle home In
1885 by a campaign of Red vilifi-
cation and became 30 embittered
that he resolved to fight COM
munism In unions.
It was against this background,
he said, that he led the local Holly
wood electricians union out Of the
AFL Conference Of Studio Unions
In January, 1947.
1--WE left the CSU because we were
very concerned over the support
being given to the CSu by Commu-
nists," Mulkey said.
His testimony came as the House
subcommittee continued its hearings
on the 17-month-old Hollywood
movie strike. Other witnesses have
testified that the strike was Com
munist led. Herbert K. Sorrell,
CSU president. has denied that he
was q Communist.

is built. 1t was on this hill that
the Temple was built and it was
also on this hill that Abraham
brought Isaac to be sacrificed.
Consequently, both the promise
and the fulfillment of the Land of
Israel is tied up with this spot
and the Biblical literature refers to
the people of Israel as the "sons"
and daughters" of Zion. The
height and the exposure of this hill
made it dry and sunny and conse-
quently it was called Zion" The
word Zion" is also believed to be
associated with a root meaning
"to mark" or ito symbolic. :"
This, too, fits the term in our
usage since Zion has been a land
mark and eternal symbol to
Israels future. The coinage of the

Fourth of July
Safety Warming
Issued By Riley
Precautions On Boating,
Swimming, Sunburn, Rough
Play, Fireworks Urged

IF the statistics of past years
can provide the basis for a true
prediction, this years long Fourth
of July weekend will end in disa-
ster for many holiday-makers," &C
cording to recent warning issued
by DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health. Ger
tain health and safety precautions
are recommended in order to avoid
an unhappy climax to the week.
end opportunity for healthful re-
creation.
Automobile accidents are a
leading cause of death and injury
on holidays. Those who celebration
takes them onto the highways
| should remember that careful
driving is imperative on days
when widespread leisure causes
crowding on the roads. Safety is
more important than speed.
Boating accidents, most of them
preventable, are another major
cause of holiday diasters. Pleasure
boats should, as a primary pre-
caution, carry only as many pas
sengers as they can comfortably
accommodate. Rough play that
may capsize rowboats or canoes
should be strictly taboo. Motor
boat tragedies may be averted by
complying with the law that re-
quires carrying a fire extinguisher
at all times and having a life pre-
server for each passenger.
Swimmers should know the
depth, current and other character
istics of water before venturing
from shore and should swim only
as long and as far as they can con-
tinue without undue fatigue. 1t is
especially important for divers and
for persons unable to swim to
know to know the waters depth.
Another precaution, that may pre-
vent abdominal cramps, is to re-
main out of the water for at least
one or two hours after meals.
"Sunburn is a serious threat to
those who attempt to acquire a
deep tan in three days. A brief
exposure-ten to twenty minutes,

and the strength of the SUMS

An overdose of the suns rays can

although fireworks cannot be
bought legally in Maryland, a word
of warning concerning those
brought here from other states or
concocted at home by amateur
chemists is timely. Although many
people have enjoyed fireworks
without mishap, the are a serious
menace to safety in young or in
