House Probers' Counsel
Calls Witness Murderer

SEATTLE, Dec. IA (P.-An
accusation that a witness before
a House Un-American Activities
Subcommittee was "a murderer
in the underground interna-
tional Communist conspiracy"
was made at a hearing yester-
day.
Richard Arens, the subcom-
mittee counsel, leveled the
charge against Clayton Van
Lydegraf, of Bellingham, Wash.
He questioned the hostile wit
ness as to whether he ever had
played a role in the bloody Com
munist-led Hukbalahap upris-
ings several years ago in the
Philippines.
II ask you to deny it under
oath if you WILL" Mr.. Arens
challenged.
Van Lydegraf declined under
five Of the constitutional amend
ments in the Bill of Rights. 1t
was one of the witness string of

80 or more refusals TO answer
questionS-even as to his occu-
patton and his discharge from
military service.
Denies Arens' Charge
Mr.. Arens declared during the
questioning: Our information
is that you were a leader in the
bloody uprising"
After the hearing was recessed
until today by Chairman Doyle,
Democrat of California. Van
Lydegraf denied to reporter
outside the chamber, that he
ever had been in the Philippines
and sal dthe murderer" accusa-
ton was "poppycock."
In the hearing, committee
counsel cited previous testimony
by avowed former Communists
that Van Lydegraf was a party
member.
The days proceedings were
aimed primarily at inquiry into
the Washington and Oregon
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-12-14

Committees for the Protection Of
the Foreign Born.
A former leading woman Com.
munist IN the State testified
that the Washington State
group was linked definitely with
the Communist conspiracy"
Identified as Reds
Mrs. Barbara Hartle, who was
convicted and imprisoned after
"a Smith Act trial here in 1853
and who later broke with the
party, examined a 1949 list of
officers Of the organization and
identified three-fourths Of them
as Communists.
Representative Scherer, Re-
publican of Ohio, broke in to
say the list looked like a roster
of the Communist Party and
Chairman Doyle added: IF
(this) committee had petitioned
Congress in 1919. why, it would
have been the Communist
Party"
A court attempt by the Wash
ing branch of the committee to
block the hearing failed as it got
under way. Federal Judge John
C. Bowen denied a temporary in
juction against the congressional
group. The petitioners argued
the subcommittee could not sit
legally while Congress is not in
session.
Cites Other Hearings
Mr.. Doyle noted his subcom-
mittee had just completed SINH
lar hearings in Chicago, Wash
ington, Los Angeles and San
Francisco.
''The sworn testimony which
we have received" he said,
shows clearly that the Commu-
mist campaign of political sub
version ranks today as one of
the greatest threats to our form
of government"
He said it is more appalling"
that the Communists are seek
ing to enlist sincere and WELL
meaning Americans in this IL
licit undertaking."

For this same reason, the small

Question - Will you please

am a divorce and I am about
to be married again. A few
friends wish to give me silver
for wedding gifts. The ques-
ton has come up as to what
initial should be placed there
on, my maiden name or my
new married one.
Mrs. d. w. L.
Answer - The use of the
maiden name is absolutely COR
rect under any circumstances.
/ would strongly advise using
it in this case.
Question: recently was
host at dinner and I served
wine with each course. One
of my guests annoyed me no
end by turning his wine glass
upside down when he wished
to indicate that he did not
want any more wine. This
seemed extremely rude to me
and I was wondering If you
agreed with me.
. Mr.. J. E. B.
Answer certainly do.
Turning the wine glass upside
down is a conspicuous way of
saying mo" and definitely
stamps the person who does
it as one who is socially mex
perienced. The fact that one
does not wish any wine can
easily be indicated by a quiet
mo, thank you" when the
wine is passed. This is all that
Is necessary.
QueSti0n-If I have asked
friends to take a motor ride
with me and they suggest stop
ping at a teahouse. should they
pay for the tea or should /?
Mrs. HI. F. T.
Answer-If your friends sug-
geSt stopping for tea, they of
course pay for it. If you sug-
gest stopping. however. you
would be responsible for the
check.

We looked into the financial
responsibilities recently that
are to be assumed by the
parents of the bride-to-be and
the bridegroom when making
plans for a wedding. Today,
suppose we go into q task
which can cause more con-
fusion and hand Wringing
than any other associated with
wedding plans if it is not
handled well. The compiling of
the all important guest list.
All too often, the compiling
of this list is approached with
a hit or miss attitude. Only
confusion. duplication and
hurt feelings can possibly re-
suit. Aunt Minnie. or some
one else important is bound
to be left out. Writing down
names on scraps of paper, as
they come to mind, is not the
way to do it! While it may
seem a waste of time, a little
careful planning at the be-
ginning will save a lot of
worry and chaos as the we'd
ding day approaches.
First, a decision must be
reached by the family of the
bride as to the type of wedding
1T is to be and an approx
mate idea of the number of
people to be asked must be
determined. These may be
divided into two groups, those
to be asked to the ceremony
only, and those to whom both
the church and reception in
vitations are to be issued.
Here Is The Plan
The plan to facilitate mat
ters is as follows: Purchase a
set of alphabetical index cards,
size three by five inches; an
inexpensive cardboard box file:
one set Of plain white cards,
and one set of colored cards of
the same size; the family Of
the bride-elect uses the white
cards. the bridegroom's family
the colored ones; an individual
index card is made out for
each person. or family to be
invited, the last name first to
aid in filing and the address
on the next line.
In the upper right hand
corner indicate the number of
persons included on each card.
Place a red check on those to
be invited to the reception.
The family of the bridegroom
follows the same idea. Then
the two lists are combined. All
chance of duplication is
avoided. A quick count of the
red checked cards will indicate
those to be asked to the recep-
ton.
According to good form, all
wedding invitations should be
engraved and the invitation it
self should be enclosed in two
envelopes. The outer enve-
