tended Shaw, Virginia Union
and Lincoln universities, re-
ceiving his A. B. degree in
1924 from the latter. 1t

letic coach at Virginia Sem

Cvetic Asserts Reds
Picked Wallace and
Taylor TO Run in '48
By the Associuted Press

~ A former FBI undercover agent
has testified that former Vice
President Henry A. Wallace and
former Senator Glen H. Taylor
were chosen to head the Progress
sive Party ticket in 1948 because
they were two men who were
willing to work with the Com
munist Party. :"
Matthew Cvetic, who maSquer-
AIDED. as Communist while feed
ing information to the FBI, said
this under. oath October z at a
closed hearing of the Senate In
ternal Security subcommittee
Similar testimony was given by
John Lautner, a former Com
munist now on the. Justice De-
partment payroll. The subcom-
mittee made its testimony public
last night.
Mr.. Wallace could not be
reached for comment.
At Idaho Falls, Idaho, Mr..
Taylor said that ''if there were
any Communists in the Progress
sive Party I never recognized
them as SUCH" Referring to
Senator Welker, Republican. of
Idaho, who sat as a one-man
subcommittee to hear the testi-
mony of Mr.. Cvetic and Mr..
Lautner, Mr.. Taylor said:
L challenge Welker to sub
poena me to his little Joe Nc
Carthy hearings. I'm tired of be-
ing slandered. I wish Welker
would put up or shut UP. He
hasn't the courage to subpoena
me, and I don't think he has
the decency to subpoena me-"
Mr.. Wallace, formerly a Dem
ocratic Vice President. was the
Progressive Party's presidential
candidate in 1948. Mr.. Taylor,
now running in Idaho as the
Democratic candidate for the
Senate seat held by Senator
Dworshak, Republican, was the
Progressive Party's vice presi-
Dental nominee. He was then
in the Senate.
Both Mr.. Cvetic and Mr..
Lautner said they do not believe
that either Mr.. Wallace or Mr..
Taylor was a Communist.
But Mr. Cvetic said the Com
munists kept the Progressive
Party under absolute control. "
