ASK PROBE OF ENLISTMENTS Probe Os Unamerican Activities Broadened To War Enlistments Washington, Aug 19 — (U.R) — The bouse commute Investigating un-American activities today asked 'he justice dernrttnent to investigate enlistment of Americans for the Spanish war and began an inquiry Into charges that the federal theater is being used to disseminate communist doctrines. The committee broadened Its Inquiry to include the theater projects after voting unanimously to ask Attorney General Homer S. Cummings to investigate Spanish wat enlistments. Cummings was usked to make the inquiry under a section of the V. S. code providing a three year prison terin and a $!,- 000 fine so ■ persons recruiting soldiers in this country fnr a foreign power. Completing this phase of its in qulry, the committee heard Miss Hazel Huffman, attractive secret ary of a New York organization of actors on relief, accuse Hallie Flan agan of using her position as direc tor of WPA federal theaters to further communist causes. Miss Huffman quoted a lettei purportedly written by Mrs Flana gan which stated that "propaganda plays have been the rule" on federal theater projects. The name o' the person to whom the letter wa addressed was not revealed. Miss Huffman said she is secretary of the committee on relief stat us of professional theater employees of the New York-federal theat er project. She charged that deputy WPA administrator Aubrey Will iams encouraged growth of th, workers alliance, which she asserted is a communist-controlled organ ization. She said she could not prove Mrs Flanagan is a communist. But she said she could submit evidence to show she is an "active participant" in communist activities and is using the federal theater to further com munist aims. Prior to her appointment. Mrs Flanagan was co-author of a pla; which the magazine The New Mass es haile das the ‘‘‘nest revolutloimr play yet produced in America," Miss Huffman said. Rep .1. Parnell Thomas. R.. N.

Miss Huffman said Mrs. Flanag--1 an s alleged sympathy for communi ism was evident “as far back" as 1927 after she made a tour of soviet I theaters and wrote a book lauding the soviet theater activities. "1931" was a very active year J for Mrs. Flanagan in communist activities.” she said She quoted a publication as saying Mrs. Flanagan 1 attended a meeting on theater problems at which red banners i wore i.i evidence. Miss Huffman said that shortly 1 after Mrs. Flanagan became fed ral theater director she appointed ElmI er Rice, whom she termed as a ' “well known leftist,” to an importi ant position on the Mew York project. o Lady Bugs Are Bought Shasta, Cal. — (U.R) — Lady bugs are bringing $1 a gallon on the

SCHULTZ GANG I RACKET BAREDi

Negro Policy Banker Tells Os Racket Monopoly In New York New York. Aug. 19 (U.R) — Joseph M. (Big Joe) Ison, negro policy banker known as “Spasm," testified today that the Dutch Schultz gang levied $125 a week against his bank for "Jimmy Hine's club.” Ison, who had described Schultz.' entry into the numbers game and Its organization Imo a racket monopoly, was a state witness at the trial of James J. Hines, Tammany district leader accused of supplying court protection for the racket at a salary of SSOO to SI,OOO a week. Hines' political organization in tlie 11th assembly district is the Monongahela Democratic club; Assistant district attorney Sol Gelb drew testimony from Ison that some months after Schultz muscled in on his bank an "unexplained" item of $125 appeared on the weekly expense sheet prepared by Schultz lieutenants. Ison said that early in 1932. after Schultz had brought all major bankers into “the combination,” a mysterious item for $125 appeared on the expense sheet of his bank. He said he asked J. Richard (Dixie) Davis. Schultz attorney, and George Weinberg, racket operations manager. 'what the $125 was for.” ‘They told me." he said, “that it was for Jimmy Hine's club." Hines watched the proceedings intently, craning his neck to see past counsel. While Gelb led Ison through testimony concerning operations of the racket from 1931 through 1936, Hines' head pivoted from counsel to witness and back, like that of a spectator at a tennis match. Ison testified that at about the same time the $125 item appeared on the expense sheet, the number
