Madame X Relates
Attacks by Russians,
CoIIapses at Hearing
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. "a. - A
woman identified only as Mad
anne x" testifying from behind
a screen. collapsed today after
telling a congressional commit
tee how seven Russian soldiers
ravished her in Hungary.
The woman, describing her
self as Austrian orn, testified
for about IS minutes in excellent
English before the House Com
mittee on Communist Aggres-
sion, which is compiling reports
on Red atrocities.
Ilona Massey Testifies.
At yesterdays hearing Actress
Ilona Massey told the committee
her native Hungary welcomed
communism happily in 1919, but
that joy gave way to terror in the
years that followed.
Dabbing frequently at her eyes
with a lace handkerchief, Miss
Massey told of paying $1,000 in
brides to get her mother, then in
broken health, out of Hungary
in 1947. She expressed fear her
testimony might imperil a sister
and other relatives still behind
the Iron Curtain.
The actress said she learned
from her mother that when the
Russian Army entered her native
city in World War II most of
the homes were confiscated and
there was widespread vandal-
ism and violation of young girls"
Exiled Legislator Testifies.
Another witness yesterday was
Bella Varga, exiled speaker Of the
Hungarian Parliament. He es-
capped from prison in 1945 after
being arrested by the Russian
military police and charged with
conspiring against the state.
Mr.. Varga said rape was wide
spread and the Russians plum
dered the entire nation in an
attempt to destroy the spirit of
the Hungarian people.
Ferenc Macy testified he was
forced to resign as Prime Min
lister of Hungary in 1916 when
the Russians held his 4-year -old
son as hostage. He was accused
of conSpiring with an under
ground movement to oppose the
Russian Army and the Commu-
mist government of Hungary.
Mr.. Macy urged that the
United States step up its propa-
ganda program of truth" to
combat Communist propaganda
lies"
The committee, headed by
Representative Alvin Bentley,
Republican, of Michigan, will
continue its hearings in New
York through tomorrow before
moving to Cleveland, for further
hearings Thursday and Friday.

The yellow throated vireo, con-

Jewelry worn by the models
was from Paul Sher's and the
hairstyles by Martin.
The models circled the patio
and went among the tables to
give the guests a "close up" of
the clothes they were wearing.
Joan Lastres was the first model
and wore an aqua bathing suit in
wool and lastex. The combination
of yarns gave the suit soft finish
that was most unusual and flat
tering. Very striking was the
taupe suit in chromespun with lit
tie white fleur de lis modelled by
Lynn Sellers. The fabric is a COM
bination of cotton and orlan. Mitzi
Fisherman wore a deep coral
swim suit of wool and lastex. The
white cotton fringe on the match
ing stole repeated the side trim.
Blue jean walking shorts with
bright patchwork trim and en-
broidered broadcloth shirt were
worn by Mary Fuller. Another
smart sports ensemble was the
print "bull fighter" pants worn
with black summer poplin blouse
with new loose sleeve.
Perfect for summer wear, and
for patio parties were the "fin-
ger paint print in black, gray,
red, and white worn by Esther
Smith and the "Sunflower" print
modelled by Vianne Youmans. This
dress had a smartly designed
black surplice top.
Sophisticated in the new little
girl' manner was the powder blue
cotton and silk chambray worn
by Lynn Sellers. A tiny white
pique collar and q white bow tied
with long steamers made this a
perfect Junior" Easter outfit. A
smart black and white linen sheath
modelled by Mary Fuller was top
ped with flowing black organdy
buster. Annabell Christianson ap-
peared in a soft blue Irish linen
sun back dress with a short jacket
delicately embroidered with gold
thread and a splash of sequins.
A MarEd original in shell pink
eyelet over pink cotton broadcloth
had Empress Josephine lines and
inserts In the skirt doubling its
fullness. The model wore a small
hat covered with tiny pink flow
ers.
A blue straw ''Bopeep" hat was
worn with blue taffi-cotton dress
with full corded skirt; and a rose
and white wolfe with yards and
yards of material in the skirt fea-
tured softly draped white straps.
A high neck jacket opening
down the back covered up strap

skirt in brown organdy, over a

trunk of tree to attain sufficient
height to permit them to soar in
safety from one tree to another,
using the membrane attached to
legs as primitive form of glider.

pink lowered mountain laurel was
abundant and a large cucumber
magnolia tree had exquisite white
blossoms conferred in a frame of
two-foot long leaves. The brawling
river, rushing into the falls from
four separate directions surged in
to boiling mass of white foam,
known locally as 'The Devils
Bathtub," and then tumbled over
ninety-fOot ledge in a beautiful
waterfall where on moonlight
nights a moonbow can be seen in
the mist.
Mr.. Shackleton'S camera then
showed the audience in the Kew
West High School auditorium, {.
high cliff called Raven Rock, so
named by John James Audubon
himself for the many ravens he
found nesting there so many years
ago. The ravens are gone but the
duckhawk or peregrine falcon,
whose flight is swifter than an ar
row, still uses Raven Rock for ito
home as do the American and
European goshawks.
Perhaps the most spectacular
of the photographs included those
of members of the insect world
whom Shackleton had magnified
many times by use of a telephoto
lens. Striped golden garden spid.
erS, solitary wasps, the beautiful
but poisonous ''velvet Ant" the
wolf spider, walking stick, pray
ing mantis, as well as colorfui
caterpillars were the most unusu-
al. /
The larvae Of beautiful leopard
and cecropia moths and monarch
butterflies looked like frightening
monsters stalking about in a jun
gle of grass and leaves. Frogs
blowing bubbles as they sang from
the Kentucky marshland remind
ed the Screen Tour audience that
northern spring was near, and with
the return of the parliamentary war
blers to nest in the old Coach
Lamp at Sleepy Hollow, other
birds will soon return to assist
the farmer in the ceaseless Strug-
gle to control insect pests who
compete with mankind fer the
grain which supplies the world
with bread.
And so the basic and fundamen-
tai facts of conservation of natural
resources are set forth; man must
protect the plants, forests, birds,
minerals, fish, animals and other
living creatures placed on earth
for his welfare, otherwise, by de-
stroying them with greed, the
thirst for wealth and the gamble
of speculation and exploitation he
may well, in turn, destroy him
self.
