founded and is supported mainly
by people of the Mennonite Church

of Swiss background. Eighteen or
twenty percent of the Mennonites,
and eight percent of the student
body, are of direct Swiss descent.

seven students who are listed as
pre-ministerial students. Again there

House Red Probers
Defend Recalling
Of Hollywood Writer
By Howard l. Dutkin

The House committee on I'm
American Activities subpoened
Hollywood writer producer Sid
ney Buchanan for a second time
because it wished to learn more
about methods used to propa-
gandize through the movies, a
Federal jury was told today.
Mr.. Buchanan is on trial in
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia. charged
with contempt of Congress in
failing to respond to subpoenas
for his appearance before the
House Committee on January Is
and January %, 1852.
Testified Previously.
Defense Counsel Edward Ben
nett Williams has commended
that Mr.. Buchanan had told the
committee all he knew of Com
munist activities in the movie
colony when he testified before
committee members at Los An
geleS hearings in 1851.
Mr.. Williams is building his
defense around the contention
that Mr.. Buchanan was sub
poenaed later to appear in
Washington not to serve any
legislative purpose but to satisfy
the personal desire of Repre-
sentative Jackson, Republican,
of California.
Mr.. Williams told how Mr..
Jackson had temporarily alb
sented himself from the Cali
fornia hearings with a resulting
lack of quorum. Mr.. Williams
said the action led to criticism of
Mr.. Jackson who, he said, then
demanded new hearings.

Today. under cross-examina-
ton, Frank Tavenner, commit
tee counsel, outlined what he
said was generalization of new
questions the committee wished
to put to Mr.. Buchanan.
Besides the question as to
propaganda, Mr.. Tavenner said
the committee wanted to know
more about Communist Party
discipline and the names of
members of a so-called special
group" to which Mr.. Buchanan
had belonged.
The trial is being held before
Judge T. Blake Kennedy, q visit
ing judge from Wyoming.
A large part of yesterdays
proceedings were occupied with
the playing of recordings of Mr..
Buchman's testimony at the
California hearings.

In Liquor Violation

The Commissioners today re-
jected the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Boards revocation of
the liquor license of the Elite
Restaurant, 1868 Georgia avenue
NV, in connection with charges
that brand substitutions were
made in whisky bottles.
Instead, the city heads order
ed 30-day suspension of the
license, as of 8 am. Thursday,
and that the place be sold with
in 80 days.
The revocation will become
effective in case of failure to
sell, the Commissioners decreed,
and any buyer within the 30-day
period must accept the duration
of the suspension.
James L. Perrus, proprietor of
the restaurant, had appealed
from the ABC ruling of February
10 revoking his license. ABC in
spectors had reported the res
taurant was refilling whisky bot
ties with other brands.
The appeal was made through
Attorney Thomas E. Lodge.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dom
ohue commented that while the
findings of the board should be
upheld, the penalty of revocation
was in effect $4,000 fine. Com
missioner Renah F. Camalier
agreed that the boards penalty
was severe.

The truck driver, James w.

in a tight squeeze as the train
bore down at IS miles an hour,
at the Melrose crossing, Rhode

Witnesses said Mr.. Thomas

by the Rhode Island avenue

He still was on the tracks

ringing and the crossing gates
lowered in front and behind him,
hemming him in. Apparently
frozen in panic, he heard people
yelling for him to jump out.
II don't remember how I did
it," he said later, "but when I
found myself again I was out

Pieces of the vehicle, owned

Engineer of the train was

veteran of 40 years.
The crossing has been a con-
troverSial one for several years.
Councilman Harry Styne said he
expected to bring the matter
up again at next Mondays city

the idea of changing the traffic

the only solution was a full

Previously, he served as chair

In addition to this job as head
of Soviet labor, Kuznetsov had

Kuznetsov is a personable man
who speaks good English. He
is a graduate of the School of
Mines at Carnegie Institute Of
Technology at Pittsburgh.
At the time of his appointment
to the Foreign Ministry, Western
sources said the move indicated
the new Moscow regime intended
to maintain the Communist war
of nerves against the West.
They reasoned that his work
among labor groups outside the
Soviet Union had become so i'm

could no longer be spared to
direct the Russian unions. His
post as union council chairman
was given TO N. M. Shvermik,
former honorary president of the
Soviet Union.
Kuznetsov is far more familiar
with other nations of the world
than many of his Superiors in
the new Russian government,
some of whom have spent little
or no time outside Russia.
Kuznetsov has visited America,
France, Italy. Germany and

1914 he headed a Russian trade
union delegation to Britain and
had a talk with Winston

PUG Official Urges
15% Smaller Rise in
Proposed Gas Rate

The chief accountant of the
District Public Utilities Commits
sion today recommended a gas
rate increase Is per cent less
than the $843,000 amount asked
by Washington Gas Light Co.
Contending that the gas COM
pany "overestimated" it's opera
ton expenses for 1858, the PUG
accountant, j. w. Falk, testi-
fled in the latest session of the
commission hearing that the
$715,000 annual revenue increase
should be sufficient to raise the
company's rate of return to q25
per cent on it's investment.
This percentage has previously
been fixed by the PUG as a fair
and reasonable return.
Charges OvereStimateS.
Mr.. Falk said that the COM
pany overestimated in three
major expense items. He testi-
fed that his computations show
that the company's estimate of
$435, 900 for production costs is
excessive by $4,000; distribution
cost estimates of $2.8 million are
excessive by $4,000. and SIT
million estimated administrative
expenses are too high by $4,000.
The PUG accountant declared,
to begin with, that the company
errs in it's own favor by basing
production cost estimates on an
8-degree average temperature
for the coolest winter day for
which the company must be pre-
pared to supply gas. On the
basis of coolest day averages for
the past 20 years, Mr.. Falk said
the company need be prepared
to meet only 16-degree weather
rather than degrees.
Meets Wholesale Rise.
If the PUG goes along with the
recommendations of it's chief &C
countant, as it usually does, the
company in effect will be COM
penSated only for the $715, 900
higher annual wholesale gas
rates which it must pay to the
Atlantic Seaboard Corp. This
wholesale increase took effect
last February Is.
In rebuttal, o. H. Ritenour,
company vice president, insisted
that the company estimates are
conservative. He contended that
company officials in arriving at
their 1853 figures did not take
into account possible wage in
creases for its employees. The
present labor contract, under
which a 6 per cent pay boost was
granted last June, will expire on
May 81.
Under the company's requested
8843,000 increase consumers
monthly bills would go up 70
cents on an average in places
heated by gas and Is cents where
gas is used only for cooking.
