his evidence will be complete, at
which time l intend to ask the
Committee to make his testimony
available to the public.
@. If you are only interested in
Wechsler as an author of books
which were purchased by the old
State Department, why did you
question him as to Communists or
former Communists working on his
paper? And why did you ask him
about the n. Y. Posts attacks on
those who are fighting Commun-
ism?
A. According to Wechslers own
admission, both he and his wife
were active in the Communist
movement while he was writing
books and editing Communist pub
locations. Wechsler now says he
has reformed, but the N. Y. Post
which he edits attacks the FBI,
Congressional Committees now ex-
posing Communists, genuine ex-
Communists who take the witness
stand for their government, and

almost every individual who ex-
poses Communists. He admitted
having on his payroll four people
who were either Communist of
ficialS or followed the Communist
line for a period of years.
1t was necessary, therefore, for
our Subcommittee to examine his
activities up to the present time
to determine whether or not this
man whose books were purchased
by Dean Acheson's State Depart
ment with taxpayers money really
has reformed since the days when
he was a Communist leader. have
been unable to find much differ
ence in his writing from the time
he admits he was an officer of the
Young Communist League and his
writing in 1858. He condemned
those who exposed Communists
while he was a Communist. Today
his main hatred still seems direct
ed against those who are exposing
Moscow's fifth column.
Q. Harvey Matusow, former
undercover agent for the FBI, tes-
titled on October 8, 1852 that there
were over one hundred Commun-
lists working on the New York
Times. Why haven't you called
some of them before your Com
mittee?
A. AS stated above, this particu-
lar investigation is concerned with
the Information Program set up
under the Truman-Acheson admin
istration. I do not have the names
of any Communists on the New
York Times whose books were dis
tributed by the Information Pro-
gram.

Mascot of the MeIroy :

Mascot of the Melroy = Ro-
bertson - The rule on the des-
troyer, Melroy, was; no animals,
and, especially no dogs. But when
they left for Iceland, a puppy wac
on board, and nothing could ever
get him off again. Bosun finally
was hailed as member of the
ships company, after many dizzy
time to conceal his presence.
Sink the Basket - Knapp =
This is more than an exciting bas-
ketball story, for it is also the pro-
blem of one girl in human rela-
tionship when Kay wanted to play
basketball, but saw no career in
it, she found a job at the recrea-
ton center, and had her team
there. Troubles and hard work
discouraged her, but she found
that it all bore fruit at last, and
gave a purpose to her life.
Switch Hitter - Decker - Russ
Woodward could hit with equal
power from either side of the
plate, was fleet of foot, and could
field his position in center as well
as anyone in the league. But he
was arrogant, ignored instructions,
resented any direction as to how
to play. The manager tried every
thing, but Russ himself had to
work out his problem, and how he
did it makes an engrossing story.

ton book tells of the strange visi-

Space Navy was war with Earth,

fight, buffalo hunts to live
