Other scheduled witnesses' at a public hearing' of thfc subcommit tee include two New York Times newsmen, a New York Daily News reporter, and the aviation editor of the New York Herald Tribune. Chairman Eastland (D-Miss) said the hearing was called to follow up testimony received by the subcommittee June 28-29 from Winston M. Burdett and others in a continuing study of alleged Communist activities. He says the subcommittee is not in vestigating the press. Burdett, now a CBS radio and TV commentator, testified that in 1937, while a reporter on the now-defunct Brooklyn Eagle, he had joined a Communist party unit. He said he broke with the Communists in 1942. ne named more man a score of persons he said he had known or believed to be Communists in the 1937-40 period. 20 OTHERS MENTIONED One of these was Lewis. Two others described by Burdett as former employes of the Brooklyn jsagie wnom ne nan known as fellow members of a Communist unit were Melvin Barnett and David Gordon. Both were listed as witnesses Wednesday. Barnett has been described as a copy editor on the New York Times and Gordon as a Reporter for the New York Daily News. Also called to testify was Ira Henry Freeman, a reporter igi the iew YorK.nmesw.iy staii. Bur dett and other jvitnesses were asked about him attfie subcom mittee's earlier hearings, but none of them Earned him as a Communist. Ansel TalberT, tviation editor of the New York Herald Tribune, was not named at all in the pre vious testimony.

A Superior Court jury return ed the verdict and ordered the death penalty shortly before 10 p.m., 29 hours after receiving the case and five Hours alter asK inc for additional instructions. Collins, a 29-year-old decorated Marine veteran of World War II hacked Andrew Stolen, 74, to death and critically injured Mrs. Stolen while robbing the elderly operators of the motel near Ta-coma. He had pleaded innocent by reason of insanity and contended his actions were the result of battle neurosis after action on Iwo Jima. The verdict was received un- smilingly after Collins' jaunty en try into the courtroom, marked by cheerful greetings to relatives and acquaintances seated there. Authorities Clear Vaccine Supplies WASHINGTON Wt The gov ernment has released enough Salk vaccine for another 720,000 anti-polio shots. The Public Health Service ac tion Tuesday brought the clear ance of vaccine supplies in less than a week to over one million cubic centimeters. Last Friday, i the government freed 300,000 "units. One c.c. of vaccine is used in a single anlipnlio shot. But even with the release of the 720,000 c.c.'s of vaccine made by Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis, the total falls far short of the six million shots the National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis said on June 24 it would need to com plete the free 2-shot inoculation of first and second-grade children. 10 Guards .
