ton. In this connection, he
named the Fund for the Re-
public.
Defending the use Of secret in
formants by law enforcement
agencies, Mr.. Hoover said he
found no justification for criti-
cizing the practice.
He called attention specifically
to objections raised by a fund
writer against naming con-
fidential sources of information
before the House Committee on
un-American Activities earlier
this month.
The writer was John Cogley,
editor of a fund-sponsored "re-
port on blacklisting" which dealt
with blacklisting of entertainers
accused of having Communist as
sociations.
Indignantly Refused
when the writer of that re-
port was asked the identity

Indignantly refused to disclose
them"
THE use of informants has
existed for years and years by
law enforcement agencies" Mr..
Hoover said, land you will find
reference to it in the Bible as a
common usage. Certainly YOU
could not expect to be able to
penetrate the secret, conspira-
tory organizations without using
secret agents."
He said that "just during this
year" the FBI arrested 1900
guilty persons through informa-
ton given to us by reliable in
formantS." He said 75O others
were arrested by local authori-
ties on the basis of information

Mr.. Hoover discussed the
backgrounds of Khrushchev and
Voroshilov in a filmed television
interview yesterday, saying that
men of that kind have no
character" The program, de-
signed for New York State sta
tons was an interview with
Senator Heating, Republican, of
New York.
He said KhruShchev was in
charge of purges in Moscow and
the Ukraine, and that in the
Ukraine "he instituted, under
Stain. some of the most ex-
IRENE anti-Semitic measures :"
BuIlitt Told of Boasts
Voroshilov, he said, once
openly boosted" to william C..
Bullitt that he ordered the Of
f1cers put to death at Kiev after
they had surrendered on the
understanding they and their
families would be allowed to go
home safely. Mt. Bullitt was
United States Ambassador to
Moscow in 1933-1936.
Mr.. Hoover said Mr.. Voroshilov
also told Mr.. Bullitt he had
executed all the sons of the Of
f1cers and had put their wives
and daughters into brothels ''for
the use of the Red army"
One of Mr.. Hoover's aides said
this happened during the 1917
Russian revolution. Mr.. VoroShi-

Even Jenny Lind didn't al
ways pack a house, as witnessed
by this clipping from a Phila-
delphia paper of December 10,
1851, after she'd split with Bar
mum. I take it from M. r,
Werner's book, "Barnum," pub
lished by the Garden City Pub
fishing Co.
Jenny Lind has resolved to
give no more concerts in Phila-
delphia; few persons will regret
her determination, unless she
should be aple to better suppress
the evidence of i'll temper and
vexation than she did on Tues
day evening last, because the
house was not crowded. The
fact is that Jenny Lind's attrac-
tons were not strong enough
to counterfeit the dullness OF
Goldschmidt's piano playing. or
the Inerely mediocre ability of
Burke on the violin. The abb
sence too of an orchestra was a
disgusting exhibition of parsi-
mony, and a determination to
make the most money she pos
sibly could. Miss Lind has never
succeeded since she left the
guardianship of Mr.. Barnum,
and then she has had poor adj
visers, and has been in i'll humor
when even the homage paid to
her talent was not manifested
with the greatest enthusiasm,
The nightingale has festhered
her nest veil in our country,
and she can go back to her
Swedish home where we wish
her long health, a better dispo-
sition and a good husband to
cheer her declining years"
