Statement Taped

Browne charged that revenue
from the record goes to the Com
munist party. He alleged that
the author of the original play,
Reuben Ship, is a Communist,
and that part of Ship's income
goes to the Communist party.
Ship, deported from the United
States in 1953, and now living in
Canada, denied Tuesday that the
Communist party received any
of the money.
Proof Not Offered
Stadler said earlier that he
would not play the record, a sa
tire on Sen. Joseph R. McCar
thy's investigations, if he re
ceived proof that proceeds aid
the Communist cause.
He said he felt- that no abso
lute proof had been offered by
the Legion.
