By Preston Grow WASHINGTON. A notable thing about Russian propaganda trials ia the way the witnesses talk and talk about their own mixleeds. A notable thing about the Plee Investigation Into the activities of such "un-American" element as nazls and reds Is the way some at the witnesses talk and talk about their own carryings on. Of course in the case of the Amer ican hearings, no one is going to shoot anybody at sunrise or send anybody off to Siberia. But they are fascinating. Just the same. The most recent witness we have heard la Clyde Morrow of Detroit who told the committee he bad been a communist organizer and strike leader but wasn't any more. To prove his case he showed his communist passbook, with the stamps showing the several years he had paid dues since Joining In 1933. Uts communist name was C. Main. Communists, he said, take special names from gravestones or telephone books. He Gave 'Em Names Morrow named over all the com munists he knew. In connection with Detroit labor troubles, and added a lot of names of Individuals, In cluding a dozen or no Detroit teach ers, who he said had walked along the street with communists, or had attended lectures by prominent com munist speakers, or in other ways had caused him to think they might be communists. . Previous red-and-nnzl henrings In the house have been much like the present one. Witnesses are invited to pour out their testimony without cross examination. At one point Mr. Morrow began to read a long typewritten state ment purporting to be a summary of strike activities in Detroit writ ton by another communist. "Row do you know that Is an au thentic statement?" asked Represen tative Dies of Texas, chairman of the committee. "I know it is," Morrow said. "Proceed." said Mr. Dies. Learn To Drive Safely!

ENROLL NOW! NO CHARGE For Full Information Phone 63 or 1204 MARKETING HEAD HEAD OF OREGON C4)th-As-Cath-Can To reporters trained to the ways of courts., the hearing sometime seems a fantasy, congressmen i-u be punched for libel for statements on the floor, nor can wltnewes be fore congressional committees, so almost anything goes, proof or no proof. One entertaining bit of evidence Mr. Morrow supplied the committee was how to start a strike. He told how he and a group he called com munists started a strike in the Brlgg (auto bodies) plant in De troit. Took Over Works Two hundred communists were rounded up from Toledo, Pittsburgh. Pontiac and Flint. Supplied with faked Identification badges they fil tered into the plant through many entrances, turned off power swltchea in key places and then rushed out to the assembly lines to tell the startled workers that "Wo are on strike." From then on they kept the men "at fever pitch" by stories that the company was bringing truck loads of strike breakers and militia from dis tant points and that the men bet ter prepare to defend their Jobs. Only 500 men were thus put on strike. Morrow sold, but added that the picket line was swelled by 6,000 unemployed rounded up by the com munists. The committee hohrlngs, once a great show in Washington, are not a sell-out here any more. One cas ual spectator appeared to hear Mr. Morrow. Has Productive Sow RAN VENN A, Neb.
