.Co|ored Communists
Fewer Than 100 Here,
Committee Is Told
Only ! 400 in U. S. Party,
Negro Investigator Soys;
jackie Robinson DELAYED
By Chris Mothisen

The Communist Party in the
District has fewer than 100 colored
Alvin w. Stokes. an in
vestigator for the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities,
declared today.
Mr.. Stokes, who is colored, testi-
fled at a committee hearing on
Communist efforts to subvert
Negroes.
The hearing was to have been
featured by the appearance OF
Jackie Robinson, second baseman
of the Brooklyn Dodgers. But
Chairman Wood announced that
Robinson had asked that his testi-
mony be postponed until Monday
The committee has invited
prominent Negroes to give the lie''
to a statement by Singer Paul
Robson that members Of their
race would not fight If the United
States became involved in war
with Russia.
Only 1,4OO in Nation. He Says.
Throughout the Nation, Mr..
Stokes testified, Il can report
that not more than 1,400 Negroes
one tenth Of l per cent of the
population-are members of the
Communist Party" The investi-
gator said his estimates of Com
munist strength among Negroes,
both nationally and in the Dis
trict, were based on his own in
vestigations and on records of
the committee.
He said Communists are en-
gagged in 4 carefully camou-
flaged" effort to consolidate the
race in support of a Soviet Negro
republic in the South. He termed
it "a proposal cunningly calcu-
lated to promote civil war"
The committee also heard Rabbi
Benjamin Schultz, executive di-
rector of the American Jewish
League Against Communism.
Robson Charged With Plot.
Robeson's attempted provoca-
ton of American Negroes he
said, is an example of "a deliber-
ate Communist conspiracy to in
flame racial and religious minori-
ties here against the United
States"
Communists are seeking to en-
courage racial and religious ami
mosities to bring about a ma
tional confusion in which they can
seize control. Rabbi Schultz said.
Failure to win many recruits
among American Jews has caused
the Communist Party line to
change abruptly, he told the COM
mittee.
He said the attempt to convince
Jews that they should be grateful

This Changing World
Paris Conference May Come to Quick End
Unless Vishinsky Drops Usual Tactics

The Western nations are fully
prepared to make some conces-
sions-without departing from the
essential points Of providing the
Germans with q truly democratic
state-but under no circumstances
are they willing TO accept a face
saving device which would simply
hide the conversion Of the Reich
into another totalitarian state,
which Is the aim Of the Eastern
German plan for Q unified Reich
II is UP to Mr.. vishinsky now to
decide whether he wishes to see
the meeting end or play ball and
come to some constructive conclu-
sions which. with his help. could
be embodied In q treaty before the
month Is over.
Solid Front by West.
For the first time since the
Potsdam conference the three
Western powers have a really
solid front on the problems of
Germany. The fears expressed
before Mr.. Acheson departed for
Paris that the French govern
ment. under the pressure of
domestic problems In which the
Communists still have Q good deal
to say. might urge . departure
from the basic principles agreed
on by the Big Three now have
been dissipated.
Foreign Minister Schuman has
not wavered, in spite of certain
leftist pressures. in full co-opera-
ton with Washington and London.
Furthermore. 1t appears that
French fear Of their neighbors
across the Rhine has subsidized to
such an extent that the French
chief Of staff. the highest rank
ing military man In France. Is
suggesting an eventual rearma-
ment Of Germany. provided, Of
course. that 1t remains inferior
to France.
In this project the French are
now far ahead of the American
and British governments. which
still insist on keeping the Reich
fully disarmed. except for q small
police force.
The Paris conference is intended
by the Western powers to produce
cut-and-dried results. II Moscow

stitution. with no strings attached.

Roman Candles Thus Far
Hickenlooper Must Produce Dynamite
To Blast Lilienthal From Atomic Post
By Harry Honon

crat 70 the senate In o aepopu-
cans place.
Senator Hickenlooper. his col
leagues said. was shocked and
chagrined. The powerful Atomic
Committee went back to Senator
Mcmahon. author Of the Atomic
Energy Act. and Senator Hicken-
looper began to mend his fences
at home with a zeal he had not
been displaying previously.
The Democrats. who think they
can hold the farm vote with the
Brannan plan and at least will
make o high-powered try. have
promptly produced q candidate
to run against Senator Hicken-
looper. He is undersecretary Of
Agriculture Albert J. Loveland
and the grapevine has 1t that he
will be formally unveiled June
1918 at the Democrats l3-farm
State conference in Des Moines.
Immediate Impetus.
The immediate impetus Of the
Hickenlooper probe is laid to
Senator Vandenberg. A few days
before Senator Hickenlooper
spoke up, Senator Vandenberg
told . Michigan reporter he
doubted If Mr.. Lilienthal could
be confirmed again because Of the
recent security disclosures. This
interview appeared here in The
Star and Senator Hickenlooper
promptly jumped into the fray.
There are Senators who gladly
sound OF on any topic from
China to Patagonia but Senator
Hickenlooper is emphatically not
Of their number. He has had two
years as chairman to learn o lot
about the Atomic Commission. He
has impressed his colleagues as
a careful. sensible man. They
admit to considerable curiosity
about what viii happen in the
present fracas. .s
Senator Hickenlooper cannot
make q partisan. personal at
tack on Mr.. Lilienthal stand up
even though the chairman Is q
controversial figure. Chairman
Mcmahon. who wants Americans
to know more and think more
about atomic energy. rather well
comes q public review of the COM
missions work, but Democrats are
not going to let one man be the
fall guy for any United States
hySteria about the bomb.
