Budenz Describes
Reds Double Talk
By the Associo,ed P,ess

NEW YORK. April Com
munistS have a special kind of
double talk" called the "Aesopian
language" by which they can say
one thing, and mean something
else, says a Government witness
Louis F. Budenz, testifying in
the conspiracy trial of IL top Com
munists. said yesterday that the
language is understood by Com
munistS, but acts to deceive others
It's name, the witness said under
cross-examination, is derived from
Aesop's fables.
Mr.. Budenz. former Communist
who renounced the party in l945.
testified every Communist knew
that when party leaders called for
a return to the "Marxist-Leninist
line it meant return to a doctrine
of force and violence.
He said that while he was editor
of the Communist Daily Worker
no articles advocating forcible
overthrow of the Government were
published, and added:
1T was not the line of the party
to openly advocate overthrow of the
Government by violence. Aesopian
language had to be used"
Trial of the II Communists,
accused of conspiracy to advocate
violent overthrow of the Govern
ment, resumes Monday.

Swims by Nips
By the Assoeiated Press

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19.-Only
United States Olympic Champion
Wally Ris stands between the
astounding japanese swim team
and a complete sweep Of the Ma
tional AAU mems freestyle titles
today.
Ris, who holds the American
record of 57.6, will swim in the
1O0-meter event against Tokyo
Swim Clubs Yoshihiro Hamaguchi
and Shiegyuki Mar1yama.
Hironoshin Furuhashi, Mr.. Per-
petual Motion, rewrote the record
book again last night with 4:33.3
in winning the 400 meters and
anchoring the Tokyo Club to
victory in the So0-meter relay
in 8:45.4.
These figures eclipsed Alex
Jany's 1882 in the 400 and the
American Olympic teams 8:46 in
the 800 relay at Londan last year.
On the American side of the
ledger, Joe Verdeur and Allan
Stack. not faced with japanese
competition, retained their respec-
tive breast and backstroke crowns.
verdeur equalled Keith Carter's
American mark of 1855 for the
200-meter breast stroke. Stack
took the 100-Yneter backstroke in
1:07.1, which compared with his
own world standard of 1:04.
