House Group B|ames
'DeIuded Liberals for
Red Papers Success

Support by "deluded liberals"
accounts largely for the success
of Communist-front publications,
the House Committee on I'm
American Activities declared to-
day.
In report declaring that the
Honolulu Record is a front for
the Communist Party, the COM
mittee criticized William K. Bas-
sett. administrative assistant to
the Mayor of Honolulu, for aiding
that paper.
by serving as a columnist for
the Record" the committee said,
he has impaired an aura of re-
spectability which the subversive
publication does not deserve. This
definitely was not in the best in
terests of the people of Hawaii or
the Government of which he is
an official"
The committees investigation,
seecording to the report, showed
Gi4at Koji Ariyoshi, editor of the
paper, lis probably one of the best
qualified persons in Hawaii to-
propagandize the Communist
Party line through the medium
of the press
The report described him as a
native of Hawaii. journalism
graduate of the University of
Georgia in 1941, a wartime Army
lieutenant and later a field repre-
sentative of the old Office of War
Information
1t accused him of using the
Record to promote the Chinese
Communists and the Hawaii Civil
Liberties Committee" an organi-
cation listed by the Attorney Gen
eral as subversive.
The report resulted from a sub
committee inquiry last April into
Communist activities in Hawaii
Besides declaring that most of
the papers stockholders have
Communists links, the report said
the paper consistently followed
the Communist line and used ma
terial from 'well-known Commu-
mist press services"
AS for the Records denial that
it is Communist front, the re-
port commented: During the past
decade all Communist Party pub
locations have gone to great
lengths to give the impression of
having no direct connections with
the Communist Party The
Communist recognize that most
Americans would not knowingly
support the Communist Party and
therefore the Communists have
devised various front organiza-
tons and publications so as to
ensnare the unwary liberal"

! Postscriptual report on the night
clubs by Harry Macarthur:
| Things keep happening around
the town, no matter how hard a
man tries to stay in front OF a
television set with his shoes off.
One of the things that has hap
pened recently is that Mischa.
the Troika fixture for so many
years, has been installed at the
Dupont Plaza's tastefully done
dining room. On Friday and Sat-
urday nights this becomes a night
club, with music by a Sidney unit
led by Drummer Jimmy Sinner.
Last Saturday night Burrus VIII
liams, one of the towns ace piano
players, was on hand, too, some
tof those Cole Porter melodies he
was playing taking everyone old
enough right back to Pete Macias'
Heigh-Ho.
Mischa's presence at the Du-
pont Plaza means, of course, that
the cuisine will be fine. the service
impeccable and that there is an
authority on the premises on most
of the arts and sciences to settle
any disputes which occur.
Other items: Vivienne Allen and
Bert Sheldon, singers out of sew
eral Broadway shows who joined
forces as cabaret act, have been
held over for an additional two
weeks at the Old New Orleans
Sazerac Room. It's one of the
best musical acts around here In
