Question Soviet
Agent On Social
Revolution Plans
Peter A. Bogdanov, After
Threatened With Con
tempt Chai'ge, Finally
Makes Statement.
NEW YORK, July 22 P Peter A.
Bcgdanov, president and chairman of
the Amtorg Trading corporation, of
ficial purchasing agency for the soviet
government, was threatened with con
tempt today for refusing to answer
questions before the special congres
sional committee Investigating com
munist activities in the United States.
Bogdanov was first asked about
Amtorg affiliations with the soviet
government and acknowledged there
was soviet direction of the American
corporation through various Russlon
trade associations.
Chairman Hamilton Fish of the
committee asked:
"Doesn't every communist have to
help carry out the program of the
party?"
Bogdanov agreed that this was so.
"And doesn't the party program
call for a social revolution and the
dictatorship of the proletariat?" Fish
asked. "Yes" said Bogdanov.
Kefuses to Answer Question
"This means," Fish continued, "that
the capitalistic system must be de
stroyed by force?"
"I am prohibited from discussing
politics" Bogdanov objected, adding
the soviet government forbade all per
sons working in other countries from
discussion of politics.
Chairman Fish said his committee
did not recognize the authority of the
soviet government but Bogdonov still
declined to answ: on the grounds
trade relations between America and
Russia might be Jeopardized.
At this point Representative John
Nelson, of Maine, Interrupted the
questioning to say the committee had
authorization from congress to ques
tion witnesses and to suggest if Bog
danov continued to decline to answer,
he be declared in contempt of the
committee. - .
Colls for "Replacement"
After a hurried conference with his
attorneys, Bogdonov agreed to answer
questions. Chairman Fish then again
asked if the communist program did
not call for annihilation of capitalist
government. Bogdanov replied that
it called for it to be "replaced."

lake camp ground returned, home

CAMP FIRE GIRLS
TO TAKE OUTING
jSummer Camp to Begin
Thursday at Episcopal
Gi'ounds at Cove, Ore.
Camp Fire girls of La Grande have
been looking forward for several
weeks, and some every since last year,
to the summer camp that will be held
for 10 days beginning Thursday at
the Episcopalian, grounds -at Cove.
Of course the girls who have never
been to camp before are eager, but
they are scorcely as eager as the ones
who attended previously, for- they
know what to expect and the Joys
of anticipation are great. ,
Tho larger, swimming pool, than
last year's means much to those who
will earn swimming honors, for it Is
easier to instruct and easier to learn
where there is more space and clearer
water. Several of the glrlB expect to
take the rank of fish, the third rank
in Camp Flro swimming honors, and
perhaps one or two will become fly
ing fish, the fourth rank. Beginners
rank is pollywog and the more ad
vanced ones, frogs; These amphlbean
creatures represent Indian symbols
for water activities. -. ,
Several girls passed both their- trad,
maker and fagbt finder ranks n camp
last year. These Include knowledge
of building fires in the open, for
cGoklng and for warmth, how to cook
camp menus, shelters and ponchos.
Thcso girls are ready for their, gypsy
honor,' which when won will make
them finished campers, and requires
both skill and considerable effort to
earn. The fagot finder Is the first
rank' and trallmaker the second. Both
of these will also be taught. . : - .
Other activities nt camp, Include
courses in dramatic instruction, with
a pageant or a play to be held, be
sides skits, etc.- Every evening an
interesting speaker will' bo at camp
to talk to the girls.
Equipment lists have been distri
buted among the guardians who are
to receive the $7.60 camp fees from
the girls. All bedding is to be left
at the corner of Fourth and Main
streets between 4 and 5 o'clock' Wed
nesday afternoon so that It may be
taken to. Cove. All girls attending
are to meet at the same corner Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock where
transportation to Cove will be pro
vided. Besides the necessary equip
ment must have their receipt for
$Y.50, their medical examination cer
tificate and $1.50 to pay for swim
ming. Miss Dorothy Brownton and Miss

Mooney and Billings, serving life
sentences for murder, recently were
denied pardons. Billings had a prior
record as a felon, so the governor
cannot act on his plea without the
aDprovat of the supreme court Jus

Billings were convicted.
