House Committee Wants
To Question Sam Carr

The House Committee on Un-
American Activities may try to ques-
ton Sam Carr. alleged central fig-
ure in a Soviet atomic spy ring in
Canada.
Representative Nixon, Republican,
of California, committee member,
told a reported he certainly would
like to have a chance to question
Carr He said he understood Chair
man Wood also was interested.
Mr.. Nixon said he had read the
testimony in the Canadian spy trials
and there were clear indications of
connections between the atomic es-
pionage ring In the Dominion and
one in the United States.
Whether the. FBI would allow
the committee to get hold of Carr
for a hearing was questionable. 1t
was uncertain, too, MIR. Nixon said,
whether a hearing would produce
any results, since Carr might re-
fuse to answer questions on grounds
of Standardization.
Even so, he said, the committee
should explore the situation be-
cause the statute of limitations is
running out on atomic spying cases
in this country.
1.-THE Attorney General has said
there is insufficient evidence for
prosecution" Mr.. Nixon said. But
/ think we ought to exhaust all
lines Of inquiry in an effort to
develop evidence
He said the Canadian trials
brought in the names Of two Amer
leans and the committee might well
look into their activities too.

Eskimo Sole Survivor Of )
Marooned II Days on Ice
by the Asseeioted Press

NOME, Alaska, Jan. 28.-An
amazing story of survival for II days
on an Arctic ice foe told today by
a 24-year-old Eskimo whose two
companions died.
Gregory Ayac of King Island, only
survivor of an Eskimo hunting
party, reached a fishing camp near
Shishmaref, 500 miles from where
he and two others were swept out
into the Bering Sea in q storm.
Ayac was found on the ice by an
Eskimo from the Shishmaref camp
In q hospital mere with frozen
feet, Ayac told his story to Emily
Boucher of the Nome Nugget.
"Parkas were frozen stiff" he said
I'VE jumped from one ice cake to
another, building shelters at night;
budding together until daybreak
We lived on raw meat from two seals
we caught"
First to die four days out, Ayac
said, was a 30-year-old father OF
three children. Next his other COM
panion, youngest of the group, lost
his mind. Finally he froze to death
Ayac, a devout Catholic, attributed
his survival to prayers of his COM
panions. He said he saw Air Force
search planes but was unable to
attract them as all three Eskimos
wore white hunting parkas.

Counsel for II Reds
Threatens 10 Call
All Harlem Negroes
BY the Assoeiotsd Press


NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-An attor-
ney for II American Communist
leaders says he plans-if necessary
to call every qualified Negro in Har-
lem to the witness stand in their
conspiracy trial to prove a defense
claim that the Federal jury-selec-
tion system here is discriminatory.
THAT will take some time" re-
torted Federal Judge Harold r.
Medina yesterday before the con-
spiracy trial of the Communist lead
ers was adjourned. do you intend
to do it?" he asked.
Il said," George w. Crockett, a
Detroit Negro, replied, that If it is
necessary to prove my case, will do
that"
The exchange between judge and
counsel came after Judge Medina
ruled the battery of defense attor-
neys no longer could call members
OF the jury panel as witnesses in
their challenge of the jury-picking
method.
Claim Method Favors Rich.
Defense counsel contend that the
method of picking jurors in the
Southern New York Federal District
favors the rich against the poor and
members of minority groups, includ-
Ing Negroes and Jews, and that
therefore the grand jury's indict-
ment of their clients, all members
of the American Communist Partys
National Committee, should be
thrown out.
The II are charged with conspir-
ing to organize a party advocating
the overthrow of the United States
Government by force.
Before Judge Medina's ruling yes
terday, defense counsel had been
calling to the stand prospective ju-
rors and members of the former
Federal grand jury which indicted
the Communists.
What you are going to do is that
you are not going to call any more
jurors and you are going ahead with
the other part Of the proof" Judge
Medina told the lawyers.
Richard j. Gladstein, q defense
attorney who returned to the court
yesterday after appearing in a case
in San Francisco, informed the
court he would be ready to proceed
with the "other proofs"
Judge Accused Of Prejudice.
Even before Judge Medina called
a halt to the parade of witnesses,
he was accused by Harry Sacher, a
defense attorney, of prejudice
against Negroes, two of whom are
defendants.
Judge Medina denied the charge
and asked Mr.. Sacher:
DO you move for my disquali-
fication on that ground?"
Il do, your honor" replied Mr..
Sacher.
The motion is denied" Judge
Medina said.
The matter arose over the ques-
ton of whether defense counsel
should continue asking prospective
jurors about their race.
When Louis McCabe, another de-
fense lawyer, was going to put the
query to witness, Judge Medina
interrupted.
"I1l put on the record whether
the witness is white or Negro. Don't
you think that would be a little
more sensible?
Let us suppose a witness may
have family in which Negro blood
goes back four or five generations.
Is it necessary to bring up such
a sore spot 4
Mr.. Sacher then shouted his OBJ,
jections. saying:
Negro blood is as good as any
kind Of white blood. The question
put by your honor indicates preju-
dice on your honors part"

Second Alleged Leader
Of Red Spy Ring in
Canada Under Arrest
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Sam Carr
alleged co-leader of a one-time Rus
sian spy ring in Canada, was ar
rested yesterday by the Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation. He is wanted
on espionage charges in Canada.
Carr was named by a Royal Es-
pionage Commission three years ago
as one of two Canadian leaders of
Russian spy ring. He held the post
Of organizing secretary of the Cana
dian Communist Party.
A Canadian Justice Department
official said the 42-year-old Carr
probably would be tried in Toronto
on accusation that he violated the
Oncial Secrets Act.
Disappeared in 1916.
Carr was picked up at basement
apartment on the West Side of
Manhattan at lis West Seventy
fourth street, near Central Park.
The FBI said he had occupied the
apartment two weeks and had been
the object of an intensive hunt since
he disappeared from Canada in
March, 1916. At one time he was
reported living in Mexico.
Fred Rose, former Communist
member of Parliament, was the
other alleged ringleader in the spy
network. He is serving a six-year
prison term for violation of the
Omcial Secrets Act.
Igor Gouzenko, Russian Embassy
cipher clerk in Canada who dis
closed the espionage ring, said Carr
recruited Russian agents In Canada.
Nine persons were fined or impris-
oned and nine acquitted in the
Canadian spy trials.
Carr Born in Russia. "a
Carr, whose real name was said
by the FBI to be Schmil Hogan,
was born in Russia. He entered
Canada in 1925 and assisted in
organizing the Young Communist
League. - .,'.,,'.,.ssd - C.
- Edward Scheidt, chief FBT agent
in New York, said Carr would be
turned over to the immigration and
Naturalization Service and held at
Ellis Island pending deportation
proceedings.
Carr and his wife rented the
apartment January 10 and had been
living there as Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
]. Lewis, Mr.. Scheidt said. The
landlord said Carr had told him
he was an engineer from Boston
who had come here to get material
for a book. %
Mrs. Carr was not arrested but
voluntarily agreed to be ques-
toned by the FBI, MIR. Scheidt said.

If they are hops it doesn't hurt
your reputation. You were doing
something because you felt 1t
needed to be done. Here, every
thing must be a hit. If it isn't
hit, there's something wrong
with you. 1t doesn't matter that
something was an artistic sue
cess"
This still is not unhealthy, Miss
Bergner feels, because it is a
period of growth and the Ameri-
can theater is growing out OF one
phase and into a better one.
Take the happy ending" she
says. "A few years ago. you
couldn't do a Death of Sales
man. because you had to have a
happy ending. But now you can.
The theater is growing all the
time. There's nothing wrong
with it, don't you worry"
Another of Miss Bergner's opti-
mistic views is held toward the
state of the world in general. She
doesn't think a world tour she
has in mind is in danger of being
held up by war. She departs for
Europe in October, for a sort of
preliminary survey.
"I'll do a number Of cities In
Europe with recitals-you don't
have them here, but they are
very popular in Europe. I give
readings and A typica.
Bergner gesture with the hand
finishes the sentence. "I'll be
able to see how things are in
various places and then I hope
to go back with a repertoire o1
several plays-classical and semi
classical. I hope not only to tour
Europe but go on around the
world. It will be good to gel
the smell of Europe again"
Movie fans, who fell in love
with Miss Bergner in Escape Me
Never" and remained faithful
through even her one Hollywood
mishap. will be happy to know
that she hasn't abandoned that
medium. She may not return tt
Hollywood. but a picture in Paris
is definite possibility during the
coming European jaunt.
