Uncle Ruy's Corner BY eono" cott"eo

Recently there have appeared
several lists of men and women who
did most to influence the human
race during the past half century
One list was headed by Franklin D
Roosevelt, with Adolph Hitler and
Winston Churchill among those who
followed. :
It may appear strange, at first
glance, that Hitler should have been
on any list, but it was made plain
that the poll was a measure of inf1u-
ence, whether or not the person was
truly great. Hitler did influence
mankind-for the worse. He turned
the switch which brought on one
of the horrors of history.
Strangely enough, I failed to find
on that list single man with the
profession OF a writer. Some OF
those listed have written books, but
these have been extras" in their
lives.
Writers have deep influence, but
1t is hard to tell just how much they
bring about. Many years may pass

Only three years and two months

writer died. I am thinking Of Her.

Whether Wells should have been

novels opened the minds of people

dealing with the story of mankind
Wells was born in 1866 and was a

torney for the State Senate Un-
American Activities Committed

obtained indicating three students
at the University of California at
Los Angeles were murdered by
Communist agents.
Richard E. Coombs, counsel for

pected that mysterious methods
were used in the killings, includ-
ing use of a subtle poison by in
detachable injection, suffocation
with dry ice and application of
pressure to vital nerve centerss
The committee counsel dis
closed that the matter has been
under investigation for two years.
He reported that one UCLA stu
dent, whose body was found Oh
the campus two years ago. MAJ
have been liquidated because
Communist Party leaders feared
he was about to reveal party
secrets.
Mr.. Coombs conferred with
Chief County Autopsy Surgeon
Frederick NeWbarr about this case
yesterday. DR.. Newbarr said no
evidence of foul play was detected
in two autopsies. He said it was
found the cause of death was pull
monary edema. which means that
tissue fluids had seeped into the
lungs.
However. Mr.. CoombS said evi-
dence uncovered by his committee
indicates that four Communist
Party members in Los Angeles
have been murdered, including
three victims at UCLA. He said
that in each of the students cases
there is documentary evidence of
their Communist Party afflliation
in the hands of the committee, and
that one of the students expressed
fear for his life before he died.
Mr.. Coombs did not say on what
the suspicious of mysterious meth
DDS were based Neither did he
indicate the nature or source of
the evidence of the four suspected
killings.
The committee attorney said it
has been learned that several
students, believed to have been
Communists. were warned about
their behavior by Communist
Party leaders.
Hearings on this case are to be
conducted here by the committee
next Thursday and Friday.

Communists Charge
Attack on Unions in
Thomas Testimony

The Communist Party of the
District and Maryland today ac-
cused the House Committee on
Un- American Activities of trying
to weaken organized labor by TAX
ing testimony of a former Com
munist who heads Local "a of
the AFL Building Laborers" Union
here.
Roy Wood, the party's city
chairman. and Philip Frankfeld,
head of the Maryland-District Or
ganization. declared the party was
very proud" of the support it has
given to "organiZing and building
of all bona fde trade unions. -
House committee officials said,
meanwhile, that Henry Thomas,
Local IA president, who is sched-
uled to resume testifying at an
open hearing Monday, complained
of receiving further threats. The
origin of the threats was not dis
closed. Thomas was on the stand
all day Wednesday and attended
a union meeting that night. He
sent word Thursday he was i'll
and the hearing was postponed
until Monday.
The Wood-Frankfeld statement
not only asserted that the House
committee was trying to assault,
weaken and destroy" Local IA, but
also described as "contemptible'
the action of Thomas and Thomas
G.. Sampler in cooperating with
the committee. Sampler. secre-
tary-treasurer of the local, is an
other avowed former Communist
scheduled to testify at the hear
ingS.
Calling Thomas and Sampler

day that he and other Local "a
officers he described as former
Communists influenced policies
and actions of the union of more
than 1000 building laborers in
