Walter Says VeIde
Fired Aide 10 Put
Another Man in Job
By Cecil HolIond

Representative Walter of
Pennsylvania charged today the
dismissal Of Louis j. Russell as
chief investigator Of the House
Un-American Activities Com
mittee was 'all a scheme" to
put another man in Mr.. Russell's
place.
Mr.. Walter. ranking Demo-
cratic member of the commit
tee, said he understood that
Chairman Velde months ago
promised the position to one of
the committees staff investi-
gators, Earl Fouss.
Commenting on the Walter
charge, Mr.. Velde said:
I'VE studied the matter to-
eether. I'm sure they know that
isn't the case. We are interested
in keeping friction out Of the
committee staff"
Mr.. Velde added that Mr..
Russell had done fine work" for
the committee in the past.
Joined Staff in 1S45.
Mr.. Russell. AZ. a former FBI
agent. was fired by Mr.. Velde
yesterday. He had been with the
committee since 1945.
Mr.. Walter said the action was
taken by Chairman Velde per-
sonally aid was never passed on
by the full committee.
He described as absolutely
not true" a statement attributed
to Representative Clardy. Re-
publican, of Michigan a member
of the committee. saying the dis
missal was unanimous and non-
partisan"
Mr.. Walter said he knew moth
ing about the dismissal until
he read about it in the news
papers.
He said that Mr.. Velde fired
the chief investigator entirely
on his own" The action was
taken, he added, despite the fact
that subcommittee has been
named by the chairman Ito
make a study on personnel prob
lens" and report back to the
full committee.
Sees Russell as Goat"
Mr.. Walter said he thought
Mr.. Russell was being made
the goat" and added:
"Mr. Russell certainly has not
been responsible for things that
have happened which have
proved embarrassing to members
Of the committee"
Members of the subcommittee
named to make the personnel
study with Mr.. Velde are Mr..
Walter and Representative
Kearney, Republican, Of New
Jersey.
Mr.. Walter said he was out of
town yesterday and received in
his mail this morning a letter
notifying him of the appoint
ment to the subcommittee.
Velde's Reason for Action.
In announcing the dismissal.
Mr.. Velde said it was brought
about by the committees con-
tinuing efforts to improve the
effectiveness and operating
efficiency of its staff. Another
source said it was prompted by
the desire of some committee
members to "reassert" their
control over the staff.
Mr.. Russell. who lives in Silver
Spring, had no immediate COM
ment on his summary custer. He
said, however. he may tell his
side of the story next week.
There have been reports that
the chief investigator had clashed
with other staff members, in
.cluding Robert L. Kunzig. the
Republican-appointed commit
tee counsel.
Chief Clerk Thomas Beale, sr.,
has been named temporary CO.
ordinator of staff activities. The
staff consists of 10 investigators
and large research and cleri-
cal force.

"Rise and shine!" Millions Of
ex-servicemen still shudder when
they recall that early morning
greeting from a first sergeant
or chief.
Nevertheless, they were better
off in some ways than they are
today. Everything was orderly
and routine. Everyone had time
for a good solid breakfast.
How do ex-Corporal Doe and
his family start their day now?
The above scene from typi-
cal American home pretty we'll
describes it. Doe is still shaving
and has just fifteen minutes to
get out of the house and start
for work. The oldest boy has to
leave for school at the same
time. The little kids are driving
Mrs. Doe to distraction. In
short, all is confusion.
Only the cat seems relaxed
and enjoying his breakfast. In
fact, the cat is the only one who
will get much of a breakfast.
And that's the trouble. There's
no doubt, according to leading
nutritionists who have made
studies and surveys on the sub
ject, that breakfast is the most
neglected meal of the day among
all age groups.
Since breakfast should supply
at least one-third of the daily
caloric requirements, they've
The Nome nugget., 1954-02-22

noted that non-breakfast eating
people were less alert, less eff
Gent and more susceptible to
fatigue than those who had eat
en- a good morning meal.
Making up for the lack Of
breakfast later in the day doesn't
work either, nutritionists say.
Because the human body is so
constructed that it requires fair
" even intake of food at regu-
lar intervals for maximum health
and efficiency.
It is particularly important
for people who are overweight
or those who have trouble keep
ing down to healthy weight to
eat good breakfast. The reason
for this is that people will almost
always eat too hearty a lunch
and dinner and will snack in
between If they skip breakfast.
A recommended basic break
fast consists of fruit or fruit
juices, cereal, milk, toast and
butter or fortified margarine.
Eggs and bacon or sausages
should be included at least few
times a week. These are the
foods that are essential to adults
and children to supply the neces-
sary nutrients to equip them for
better stamina, maximum eff
cheney and greater acuity during
work and school.
