occasion they volunteerer to help
obtain hearings for blacklisted
entertainers.
Mr.. Woltman, a staff writer for
the New York World Telegram
& Sun. testified he had no recol-
lection of being involved with
anyone in the entertainment
field other than one case.
Il am completely out of the
picture" Mr.. Woltman said.
And with regard to the state
ments concerning him in the re-
port. he added:
II don't know why I was
dragged in by the heels as I
was"
Mr.. Forster testified that he
did not mind the person being
blacklisted after he had been
given a hearing. But if the man
is not given a hearing. the wit
ness added. then that man, ]
think, has been blacklisted.
Mr.. Forster said the league
made no effort to assist those
who have cited the Fifth Amend
ment regarding possible Com
munist connections. He said
this indicated that such persons
were not interested in obtaining
a hearing.
FURRY Occurs
A mild furry occurred during
Mr.. Forster's testimony when
Representative Walter said that
Robert NJ. Hutchins, president of
the Fund for the Republic, had
released a letter sent to Mr..
Walter before the committee
chairman had received it.
Bethuel M. Webster of New
York. counsel for the Fund, arose
in the audience and sought to
obtain recognition. Mr.. Walter
dismissed him quickly as mot
being in order"
Mr.. Webster told neWSmen
that Mr.. Walter was mistaken
about the letter having been
released.
The committee spent most of
yesterday questioning the author
of the Funds report, John Cog
ley, of New York, a former editor
of the Catholic magazine, The
Commonweal.

career ended in 1918 when a
German hand-grenade exploded,
breaking his right leg. He was
taken prisoner.
He was liberated when the
armistice came and. with other
wounded POWs, was taken to an
Army field hospital. Later he was
returned to a service hospital in
America, where it was discovered
he had developed osteomyelitis,
a bone ailment. in his right leg.
American Discharge
After long treatment, he was
honorably discharged from the
American Army.
And there is the rub. Did the
American Army absorb the
Polish-American force during
the war as part of its overall
fighting strength? If not, why
did the Army discharge Pvt
Sobolewski as one of its own?
Citizen Sobolewski has the
original discharge certificate to
prove his honorable discharge.
Furthermore, he holds his citi-
zenship certificate bearing a
notice of his discharge Hon

service at that time blanketed
thousands OF aliens into United
States citizenship.
Shortly after his discharge
medical pension checks began
arriving. First they were for SCI;
then through the years. they
climbed to $l6l month.
Meanwhile. the Government
sent Mr.. Sobolewski to school tC

statement against blacklisting.
was absent good part of the
day.
Mr.. Cogley said his only in
structions from the Funds
Board of Directors were that he
should find the facts, regard
less of what they WERE" He said
the board expressed hope the
report would inform rather,
than inf1ame."
Queried on Sad Cases"
Mr.. Arens. in his questioning,
repeatedly referred, an a sarcastic
tone, to the sad cases" cited in
Mr.. Cogley's book. and re-
peatedly asked the author why
he had not given the Communist
listings of many of the black
listed individuals.
Mr.. Cogley at one point re-
piled that he was writing a re-
port on blacklisting, and not re-
writing Red Channels" a pub
LEGATION which listed purported
Communist sympathies of enter
tainerS.
Mr.. Arens questioned Mr.. Cog
ley about the recruiting of the
staff for the study. Mr.. Cogley
said he knew that Michael Har-
rington. his personal assistant
was a Socialist.
Mr.. Arens later said that Lenin
has declared that socialism is
only transition to communism.
Representative Doyle, Democrat
of California, exhibited a lack
of sympathy for the proceedings.
He said, "As I see it, there is
no inference that Mr.. Cogley is
subversive. I think it is viola
ton OF the freedom of an author"
Representative Moulder, Demo-
crat, of Missouri, said he agreed
with this.
Representative Jackson, Re-
publican of California, said he
had not read the report, but
that from what he had heard
in the hearings, it did not seem
to him to be an objective report"
He said there was a blacklist i'm
posed by the American public.
and that there should be a
thorough airing of the whole
question.
After almost four hours Of
questioning, most of it related
to why he had not cited the
Communist" records of the in
dividuals described rather than
their blacklisting problems, Mr..
Cogley was asked if he wanted
to say anything.
Il would like to know, if
may, why I was called" Mr..
Cooley said.
Chairman Walter told him
that the committee was very
much interested in the report
and disappointed that it had
not incorporated information the
committee had about people
who had lost their jobs because
they had co-operated with the
committee.
