He contributed a daily column to
a Los Angeles newspaper, concen-

his prize stories concerned a
production that enlisted the dis
tinguished services of Robert
Benchley, Rosalfnd Russell,
Robert Montgomery and Monty
Woolley, with resultant bedlam
and horseplay on the set.
Woolley usually was the victim.
Montgomery and Benchley once
were gazing intently at a piece of
velvet when Woolley stuck his head
in the door of their dressing room.
ssDOes this feel like velvet to
you?" Benchley asked inno-
Gently. Monty rubbed il over
the hack Of his hand. stOf course
it's velvet = he pronounced.
"THAT's NO TEST. !" scoffed
Montgomery. Try it on your
neck" Monty did. The others
stared at him. No words were nee
essary. They trusted the power of
Monty's imagination. What s the
matter?" he demanded finally.

10. Improve in final form the
bill permitting use in Federal
courts of evidence secured by
wiretapping. This bill has al
ready passed the House and is
now pending before the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
Reasons Given.
Mr.. Brownell said that passing
a law making membership in the
Communist party illegal in It
self would nullify the registra-
ton requirement of the Internal
Security Act of 1850.
IF membership alone is made
criminal" he said, to require
a member to declare his mem
bership is to require him to give
self incriminating evidence"
Such legislation, he said, would
substantially nullify the In
ternal Security Act" even before
1t has been given a fair chance
to reach the success it prom
iSeS. :"
He said the same objection
would apply to cases brought
under the Smith Act.
"The sum of the constitutional
doubts as to such proposals sug-
gests at least that several years
might be required before final
ruling could be anticipated.
During the intervening period
the uncertain status of the legis-
lation would in itself impede and
disrupt the orderly operation of
the present program. The
usefulness of any new legislation
must also be measured against
the practical problem of proof
OF party membership. It has
generally been assumed that by
making party membership per Sc
a crime large number of Com
munists would automatically be
convicted and in short order.
This is false impression.
In most instances, a statute
to make membership itself a
crime would not materially alter
the problems of the prosecution

Mr.. Brownell said under ques-
