Christmas
Is EorLy

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 9 Up
The Bob Riley family had a
Christmas after all - and a
couple weeks early at that.
Sunday night, their small
home eight miles southeast of
here was burned to the ground.
With it went all their personal
possessions.
The holiday season looked
pretty bleak for Mr.. and Mrs.
Riley and their 16-year. old son,
Robert, .Jr. But that was before
their neighbors got on the tele.
phone.
One phone call led to another.
Almost before they knew it, the
rural church in which the neigh
bors planned to hold a shower
for the family was too small. So,
yesterday, an estimated 200 per-
sons gathered in the nearby Good
Hope town hall.
They all came bearing gifts -
canned foods, kitchenware, lin
ems, set of silver. There was
some much-needed cash, too.
The Rileys had nothing to say;
they were much too happy.
Said Riley's brother, Mailyn,
with whom the family has stay
ed since the fire:
"You just can't realize what
this means to Bob"

Reds Wife
Tells Jury
About Hiss
By JAMES pARLAToRE

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 R-Ger-
hart Eisler's ex-wife testified to.
day that she and Alger Hiss
once argued over who would use
Noel Field as a Communist
underground tool.
Field, employed In the prewar
state department at the same
time as Hiss, mysteriously disap-
peared in Europe a few weeks
ago, presumably behind the iron
curtain. .sa
Mrs. Hede Massing, thrice.
married former wife of Eisler,
who fled from the u. S. A. q few
months ago, testified at Hiss
second perjury trial after the de-
tense blocked her appearance at
the first. ~ ~
NO OBJECTIONS RAISED
There was no objection to her
taking the stand this time.
The bespectacled woman said
she met Hiss at Fields home in
1885, year after she began
working as communist party
sympathizer. She said she was
not a party member.
Atthat time, Mrs. Massing tes-
titled: e@ -
81 said to Mr.. Hiss Z under
stand that you are trying to get
Noel Field away from my organi-
cation into yours"
She said Hiss replied:
$50 you are the famous girl
that is trying to get Noel Field
away from me-" -
Added Mrs. Massing:
81 said Yes" .....
Then, she said, Hiss told her:
well, we'll see who is going
to win"
Mrs. Massing testified:
GIVES HIM ANSWER
IT said, Mr.. Hiss, you are com.
peting with a woman"
Then she testified, either she
or Hiss remarked:
"Whoever is going to win, we
are working for the same boss.
Whitaker Chambers, star gov
eminent witness against Hiss,
charged that the one-time high
state department official headed
Red underground unit in WASH
ington and passed him govern.
ment secrets for a Soviet spy
ring.
Hiss was indicted on perjury
scharges when he denied Champ
ers' accusations. His first trial
ended last July In a hung jury,
unable to agree on his guilt or
innocence.
