House Group Invites
VishinskY 10 Testify
On Baltic Seizure
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Dec. -3.-Andrei
Vishinsky, Soviet deputy foreign
minister, has been invited to
appear before a House commit
tee and defend himself" on the
issue of Russian seizure of three
Baltic nations.
Last Tuesday Alfred Derzins,
former Latvian cabinet member,
said in Washington that Mr..
Vishinsky was in charge when
Russia took over his country,
Lithuania and EStonia.
Mr.. DerzinS told his story to
a special House committee head
ed by Representative Kersten,
Republican, of Wisconsin. The
committee was set up to in
vestigate the Soviet seizure of
the Baltic nations.
Hearings Open Today.
A committee spokesman said
yesterday that Mr.. Vishinsky,
Russia's chief United Nations
delegate, had been sent a letter
inviting him to appear before
the group which opens hearings
here today.
The letter to Mr.. ViShinsky,
signed by Mr.. Kristen, said:
"The American tradition of
Justice has always been that
the accused be given every op-
portunity to state his side of
the case and to support his case
with such other witnesses and
documentary evidence as he
deem appropriate.
Consequently, the committee
extends to you an invitation to
appear before it that you may
have an opportunity to answer"
Under international regula-
tions there is no way in which
Mr.. Vishinsky could be forced to
appear.
Ex-Captive TO Testify.
Scheduled witnesses today in
clude DR.. Myklos Divinnis, an
American citizen of Waterbury,
Conn. DR.. Divinnis was held
captive in Siberia for two years
by the Russians.
Thomas Watson. board chair
man of the International Busi-
ness Machines Corp, is Sched-
uled to testify tomorrow. AS
president of the International
Chamber of Commerce in 1888
80, Mr.. Watson visited the Baltic
states to study their economy.
Former President Hoover will
be a committee witness Satur-
day. He will appear in connec-
ton with the United States
Navy's action, ordered by Presi-
dent Wilson, to force the Rus
slams out of the Baltic States
after World War 1.
Dropped in Mailbox.
A committee spokesman said
it originally was planned to send
the letter to Mr.. VishinSky
through the State Department
and the Soviet Embassy.
After reading the letter the
State Department suggested, Mr..
Kersten said, it would be better
that it go through unofficial
channels"
The letter was dropped in a
mailbox. 1t is expected to be
delivered today.
The letter summarized testi-
mony before the committee that
the Soviet diplomat directed in
Riga "the military and secret
police forces of the U. S. S. R.
in such a manner as to dissolve
the legal government of Latvia
and to cause a new election in
which the Latvian people were
denied their right of free elec-
tions by secret ballot"
ut is also charged" the letter
continued, that one Andrei Y.
VishinSky was responsible for the
death and deportation of thou
sands of Latvian men, women
and children and that he re-
mains today as the outstanding
unpunished criminal of our
times"
