Long Seeks FBI Data
On Present STRENGTH
OF Reds in Hawaii

Senator Long. Democrat, of
Louisiana. today asked for an
FBI appraisal of present Com
munist strength in Hawaii as
the Senate Interior Committee
began final two days of hear
ings on statehood for the ter
ritory.
Senator Long, who recently
announced he will change his
vote to favor statehood, asked
for the FBI report after a Judge
from the islands testified that
in his opinion Communist ac-
tivity in Hawaii has increased
in the past year.
Testifies on Red Activity.
The witness, Associate JUS
tice Ingram NJ. Stainback of
the Hawaiian Supreme Court,
former governor of Hawaii, tes-
titled for two hours on the his
tory Of Communist activity in
the islands without disclosing
how he stands on statehood to-
day.
In 1850, while he was Cover
nor of Hawaii. he testified in
favor Of statehood. He told the
committee today he. would like
to give the facts on both sides
and would answer any question
about his present viewpoint at
the end of his testimony.
Republican leaders hope to
get Senate action on Hawaiian
statehood early in this session,
and President Eisenhower re-
newed his request for the bill in
his message today.
Judge Stainback, who has
lived in the islands for AZ years,
said that any doubt he had
about the patriotism of the
Orientals in Hawaii was wiped
out by their attitude during
World War II.
He said he first learned of
Communist penetration in the
islands after the war in 1947.
when the commanding general
Of troops there talked to him
about the subject. Most of Judge
Steinback's testimony dealt with
alleged Communist infiltration
into the International Long
shoremen's and Warehousemen's S
Union.
Butler Changes Position.
Chairman Butler, Republican,
OF Nebraska, now leading the
fight for statehood, recalled that
he was against it in 1948 because
he thought the Communist situ-
alton was a danger at that time.
The Senator pointed out that the
present Constitution of the is
lands prohibits Communist
from holding any public Office
there.
Last spring the committee
voted. 8 to 7, to tie statehood for
Alaska to the Hawaiian bill and
postpone action pending further
hearings. At that time. Senator
Long voted to postpone. If there
are no other changes, Senator
Butler hopes to get vote within
a few days to reoprt out the
Hawaiian bill.

Detroit Racketeer S
Surrender Expected
In Reuther Inquiry
By the A,soeio,ed Press

DETROIT, Jan. 7.--Santo
(Sam) Perrone, Detroit rack
eteer, is expected to surrender
January IA to face charges in the
1948 shooting case of CIO
President Walter p. Reuther
which threatened to involve
prominent Detroit names" in
management and union circles.
Sources close to Perrone said
he probably would remain in
hiding for another week.
Perrone and his Son-in-law,
Carl Renda, IS. both of whom
built scrap metal fortunes. were
charged yesterday with two
others in the attempted assas-
Sination of the union leader.
Some police officials predicted
that prominent Detroit Names
would figure in the case and
might even replace the four
John Does" now listed on the
warrant. Police, who broke the
case wide open yesterday. have
not given any hint to the identi-
ties of the other four.
Accused Of Anti Union Plot.
In 1851, the 56-year-old Per-
rome and four associates were
charged with conspiracy to
smash union organizing at the
Detroit Michigan Stove Co. Per-
rome pleaded guilty in May, 1852
and was placed on probation.
Renda, who has no police rec
ORD, figured in the 1851 Ke-
1auver Crime Committee hear
lngs here with his father-in-law
The committee heard how
Perrone, nearly illiterate as a
witness. had a 100000 a year
contract with Briggs Manufac-
turing Co. to haul scrap metal
away from the company. The
contract was terminated b.
Briggs shortly after the COM
mittee hearings.
The Detroit Times said today
the prosecution will attempt to
prove that the conspiracy to kill
Mr.. Reuther. then president of
the CIO United Auto Workers,
had two motives.
One motive, the Times said.
involved an attempt by gamblers
to control numbers and horse
betting in all automobile plants.
and the other involving labor
disputes. The Times said it will
be contended that some of the
alleged conspirators were in the
plot for one motive and some
for the other.
Vanished From Home.
Perrone vanished from his
fashionable home in suburban
Crosse Pointe Shores eight hours

Chanukah plus Purim plus Pass

we should remember that the
pleasures of being Jewish are not

Just as Jewish history is long, so
the list of sources of Jewish de-

think that the Jewish faith can
keep their children merry for the

ally it can keep their youngsters
aglow for a year and for a
lifetime.
