The testimony was given in secret session by Paul Crouch, admitted former Communist of Miami, Fla., who is scheduled to testify again at a hearing of the House Un-American Activities i Committee on May 24. (There is some doubt that he will appete then, however. Committee aides said Crouch was under the im pression that he had been re leased from a grand jury sub poena in New York but that there may have been a misunder standing about it.) "I was active In trying to in filtrate all s:ientific research at the University of California," Crouch told the committee last 5-12 JTR. WILLIAM S CflPW. 1W'BY Wli SERVICE. IHC. T. M. BCO.

Williams New Constitution Of Germany Aims At Genuine Democracy By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst Western German' new republican constitution modeled on the American and British systems of government Is one of the most remarkable documents of the kind ever drafted. It Is truly the product of our new era. , This constitution provides (on paper, at least) the greatest de gree of democracy the country ever has known. Indeed, one might say it provides virtually the only democracy Germany has experienced, because the short lived Weimar Republic (1919-33) died an unnatural death before it could fulfill Its promise. Even more striking Is the fact that Germany twice the instiga tor of world wars within a genera tionnot only outlaws aggressive war but. provides for the transfer of the Reich's proud sovereignty to a United States of Europe. And Germans who only a short time ago were bowing the neck to the Hitlerian dictatorship are given a sweeping bill of rights which declares that "the dignity of man shall be inviolable." What a transformation! They still are knocking about plenty of us "old timers" who hark back to the days of Knlser Wilholm II, the "all highest" who fathered World War 1, pursuant to his policy of imperial expansion. The Kaiser was an autocrat who be lieved that he ruled by divine right, ft fact which Inspired an American to write the famous satirical poem "M und Gott," which infuriated the emperor. Then came the World War which resulted In the abdication of the kaiser.

Now we get the violent revul sion of all this in the new consti tution. German political leaders claim it is the most progressive in existence. Well, they are going to have their chance to prove that claim. They still will be under allied supervision until such time as they have demonstrated their fit ness to walk alone, but the allied purpose Is to encourage them to stand on their own leet. The constitution, of course, can only apply to the three zones of Western Germany at the outset, but It has been drawn up so as to Include Soviet-controlled East ern Germany as soon as a united nation can be achieved. Commons Steel Industry Bill Faces Riddling LONDON, May 10 UP) A hotly-disputed bill to nationalize most of Britain's iron and steel Industry went to the House of Lords today. It was passed last night by the House of Commons. The lords planned to bring the measure main item In the Labor Government's Socialist program to early consideration. It is ex pected generally the upper cham ber will riddle it with amend ments, and return it to Commons which thpn will restore it vir tually to present form, to become law. Socialists call the bill an "at tack on the heart of capitalism," because control of Iron and steel means control essentially of British manufacturing, from bi cycles to battleships. The bill, proposed by the la bor government, went to the Are you having trouble with your present bethroon set? Building a new home? We can handle your bathroom problems.

It authorizes the government to buy the stock of 107 compan ies, but actual direction 01 tne companies would stay in the hands of the men who run them now as private enterprises. The companies would work under a government holding corporation, retaining their present urm names. They would be free to compete with one another, but not to the point of clashing with the holding corporation's overall general plan. Under the measure the govern ment would pay 300,000,000 ($1,200,000,000) for the stock of the 107 companies. The firms, which emplov 300,000 of Britain's 495,000 iron and steel workers, are capitalized at 195,000,000 ($780,000,000). The bill calls for government control of the affected plants to start May 1, 1950 just before next summer's scheduled na tional elections. The Labor Government, whose platform pledges public owner ship of key industries, has de layed moving in on Iron and steel for four years. In that period it nationalized coal, electricity, rail roads, long distance truck and gas industries, airlines and the Bank of England. Tiller School Carnival Plans Are.

In that project, he said, he was assisted by the son of the univer sity official, who drove him to secret meetings in swank South ern California homes. Because the testimony was taken secretly, the Committee would not permit use of the official's name. The plan, Crouch said, was to organize the laboratory workers into special sections of the Com munist Party. So secret was the project, he said, that instead of using names of individuals, party communications referred to them in Greek figures. Crouch expressed the opinion that Miami was a focal point of Communist activity because of its importance as an airline link between the United States and South America. But Committee source said he gave them no testimony on the disappearance in 1937 of Juliet Staurt Poyntz, former official of a Communist-front organiaztion. They said they had not seen pub lished reports that Crouch had testified that Miss Poyntz was slain and tossed into the East River in New York. Good Money Difficult To Give Away In Baltimore BALTIMORE UP) Want to give money away? Don't come to Baltimore to try it. William Bond and Charles Mc Cardle made a bet the other day after Bond mused aloud that money was so cheap nowadays you couldn't give it away. Mc Cardle thought otherwise, and backed up his thinking with a $5 bill. Then, in broad daylight, they began walking a stipulated three blocks, McCardle courteously of fering a $1 bill to the first pedes trian they met. The first pedestrian glared and wouldn't accept. They stopped some more. Several already had a buck. Several figured McCardle had a gimmick. He tried ten times and found no taker. The eleventh, however, took McCardle. He was a cop who formed a notion that McCardle was trying to move the dollar in to the other direction, for reasons of his own. A. F. Walter Kresse, M. D. Physician and Surgeon U. S.
