Support in Firing
OF Committee Aide
Predicted by Ve|de

Chairman Velde predicted to-
day that a majority of the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities will uphold his firing of
Louis j. Russell as chief investi-
gator. despite disclosures that
the committee earlier this week
rejected a motion to remove Mr..
Russell.
The 42-year-old former FBI
agent, who has been a committee
investigator since 1945, indicated
he might have something to say
later.
Meanwhile. two committee
members, Representatives Wal
ter. Democrat. of Pennsyl-
vania and Kearney, Republican.
of New York. continued their at
tack on Mr.. Velde. Only last
Wednesday he appointed them to
serve with him on a subcommit-
tee to look into staff problems,
they said.
Motion Defeated.
It was learned yesterday that
the committee on Wednesday
voted down a motion to oust Mr..
Russell. Instead. it set up a
subcommittee to look into staff
problems and dissension within
the staff. Several committee
members said they knew moth
ing about Mr.. Velde's firing of
Mr.. Russell the following day
until it came out in the news
papers.
The chairman told reporters
today that Mr.. Walter and Mr..
Kearney had the wrong idea of
the committees intent in set
ting up the three-member sub
committee. He said he was con-
f1dent the full committe would
sustain his action against Mr..
Russell.
He denied an assertion by Mr..
Walter that Mr.. Russell was re-
moved so that Earl FousS, an
other former FBI agent on the
staff, could be given the $11, 900
a year job as chief investigator.
He added that Mr.. Fouss is not
likely to get the job.
Reports Back Biting"
Mr.. Kearney said he did not
question the authority of the
chairman to fire Mr.. Russell. He
complained, however. that the
chairman did so without waiting
for the subcommittee to report.
He described the staff as "shot
to hell with jealousy and back
oitiEg."
Mr.. Velde's only comment
ABOUT Mr.. Russell was that "it
was q matter Of his interfering
with the efficient operation of
the comInittee staff"
Mr.. Walter charged tnat any
confusion on the staff did not
result from anything Mr.. Russell
did but "is the result of the
chairman not paying any atten-
ton to the functioning of the
committee"

life of Tamara Dmittrieff. Mrs.
Dmitrieff, a professional pianist,
is also as far as she knows, the
only woman who runs her own
speed boat single handedly on
the Potomac. She has passed
the Nays test on navigation,
is a member of the Coast Guard
Auxiliary and the only woman
active member of the Corinthian
Yacht Club.

Dmitrieff. there is always work
for speed boat. The Coast
Guard Auxiliary patrols the re-

for any emergency.
Last year, Mrs. Dmitrieff' s
boat, "Tamara." carried the
driver and mechanic of the Gold
Cup boat, and towed the boat
from the pits across the river, to
the starting point in front of
the grandstands.
Four years ago, the "Tamara"
won the Regatta prize for the
most original boat in the river
parade. Mrs. Dmitrieff had con-
cocted a Pegasus for the prov of
her trim Chris-Craft runabout.
