Senators Push Inquiry
After Mrs. Rosenberq
Asks Quick Decision
BY the Associated Press

Senators today continued theil
inquiry into the appointment OF
Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg to be
Assistant Secretary of Defense
after receiving a plea from hel
for a quick decision.
At a closed session Friday, dur
ing which she repeated denials
that she had ever been associated
with Communist groups, it was
learned Mrs. Rosenberg urged the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee to finish up it's investigation
\ II plead with you to finish this,
she told the Senators.
More Secret Testimony Due.
Senator Russell, Democrat, o1
Georgia, acting committee chair.
man, called for more secret tes.
timony today from two witnesses
who are under subpoena.
One Is Benjamin Freedman, re-
tired New York City businessman
who told newsmen he put the
Senators in touch with Ralph De
Sola, self styled former Commu-
mist Party member. At Fridays
session de Sola said-and Mrs
Rosenberg denied-that he met
her as a Communist and saw her
at party meetings in New York is
years ago.
The other witness is j. B,
Matthews, former investigator
for the House Committee on Un-
American Activities.
Wife Contradicts Story.
Meanwhile it was learned that
portions of de Sola's testimony
have been contradicted by his
divorced wife, Miss Helen Winner,
of New York. Miss Winner said
she is a former Communist who
broke with the party.
Miss Winner denied that she
had known Mrs. Rosenberg as a
Communist or had seen her at
Communist meetings. She de-
scribed de Sola as a person who
"goes to great extremes" but al
ways for what he regards as noble
reasons"
She said she met Mrs. Rosen-
berg when the latter settled a
dispute on a WPA writer's project
in New York City about 1886. in
volving a Communist union head
ed by de Sola.
Tells Of Writer'S Protest.
Mrs. Rosenberg testified she did
not know de Sola but did remem-
ber trouble with Communists on
the WPA writer's project.
"They (the Communists) never
had any use for me and never
had any use for them. That Is
the only possible thing I can
think of that this man can have
against me-"
De Sola was brought In and
pointed to Mrs. Rosenberg and
insisted he could identify her al
though he had not seen her for
Is years.
De Sola Maintains Stand.
He remembered her, he said,
because "a fellow Communist
supervisor, a James Magraw,
had told him he should forget
about having met people like
Anna Rosenberg"
He said he had seen her at sew
eral John Reed Club meetings
and that she spoke about the
John Reed Club and what an
excellent device 1t had been for
a sounding board for Communist
propaganda and as q recruiting
ground"
And am I the woman that
you sat next to or talked to in
the John Reed Club?" Mrs. Rosen-
berg asked, after denying the
statement.
De Sola replied:
"Yes ma am. you are. am
sorry to say So"
Mrs. Rosenberg said she had
never seen he Sola before.
