May Invite Writer To Give Testimony House Probers Moy Hear Anna Strong Washington, Feb. 19.—(UP)— Hou?e Communist investigators said today that they may “invite” Anna Louise Strong to tell them her story If she is deported to this country by the Soviet Union. Chairman John S. Wood. D., Ga., said that at the next meeting of his house unAmerican activities i committee ho will propose that she be issued an invitation. He said that committee members “will be interested in hearing her testify.” Miss Strong, for years considered a “pro-Soviet” writer, was arrested in Russia earlier this week. She was charged with "conducting espionage-subversive activity aimed against the Soviet Union." Soviet officials said she will be deported within a few days. Wood said that the full committee probably will hold its next meeting Tuesday. He said he plans to “move cautiously” in the matter because there may be “some reason that is not apparent on the surface” for the Soviet action. He pointed out there is no assurance that she will be deported to the United States. “There‘must be something peculiar happening when a person of •her pronounced liberal views is expelled from the Soviet Union,” he said. He indicated that under present 'onditions he believes she should not be called before the committee unless she is a willing witness. Presumably, she would be in that class if she accepted a committee' “invitation.” “Should she refuse to appear, I see no reason at the moment to issue a subpena for her," Wood said. “I would not advocate that step unless we had more information that made it evident we shopld use some form of compulsion to secure her testimony.” Rep. Richard M. Nixon, R„ Cal., a committee member, said he would like to hear Miss Strong's story. But he too emphasized that the legislators should proceed cautiously. “We have absolutely no knowledge—asi.de from a few rumors—of why she sholuld incur the displeasure of the Communists,” he said. “We should be careful that, we do not wind up playing their game.” V ll j Admitted: Mrs. Irene Steele, Ohio ; City, O.; Mrs. Jennie Clifton, Wren, O.; Mrs. Lorain McKean, Berne; Kenneth Bollenbacher.

From Page One) I —■ ... ■■■ - will go tar toward speeding up treaty negotiations and in ending the fears of western European dip- , lomats who were upset by the recent Vandenberg - Connally pronouncements. The two senators 'said on the senate floor that the treaty must not contain any “automatic wat pledge.” Some foreign diplomats prompt ly protested that the United States was welching on its promise to stand solidly with the six other free nations in resisting Commun ist aggression. Acheson quickly explained to these diplomats however that the | U. S. constitution outlaws an “automatic war pledge.” Under It. he told them, congress—and congress alone—has the power to declare war.

Seek Abortionist For Woman's Death Thorough Check In Fort Wayne Planned Chicago, Feb. 19 — (UP) — Indiana authorities today set out to question all known associates of Mrs. Robert Danks, 26, in a search for an abortionist believed responsible for her death. 'Sheriff Lester Hineline of Porter county and detective Art Keller said the investigation was difficult because Mrs. Danks seldom discussed her personal affairs with friends. They said she apparently was "popular and well-liked, but very quiet.” Two male friends of the woman were questioned without result. They appeared voluntarily to aid the investigation and were not held. Hineline said he didn't “know I what our next step will be in the I investigation but we'll go on questioning anyone who knew anything about her." The sheriff said he planned to make a thorough check in Fort Wayne, Ind., in an effort to locate the abortionist Mrs. Danks planned I to visit there. Mrs. Dauks took a leave of absence Feb. 7 from her job as chief telephone operator at Roosevelt college here. She told her superiors she planned to visit relatives. Another friend, however, told police Mrs. Danks left to undergo an obortion at Fort Wayne. Her body was found on an Indiana highway Thursday. She bled to death as result of the abortion but the unknown persons who threw her body on the roadway apparently mauled it to make it appear that she died > as result of a hit-run accident. z • , CHURCH NEWS Trinity Church Fred G.

'Cooks' Corner' BY MARY R. SMITH ; In The Cook's Scrapbook Every now and then I come across a poem related to foods, or a news item pertaining to kitchen talk that seems worthy of clipping and saving. Here are two ilustrations: The Beginner (Author Unknown) She measured out the butter With a very solemn air, The milk and sugar also; and She took the greatest care. To count the eggs correctly; and To add a little bit Os baking powder which you know Beginners will emit. 'She stirred it all together; and She baked it one full hour, But she never quite forgave herself For leaving out the flour. Baking a cake 100 years ago was much simpler than it is today. Take j for example the following recipe I dated about 1850: "Take the butter left over from ■ breakfast; two or three eggs; a ; handful of sugar; as much milk as you think you need, and enough tloiu- to make a thick hatter." Simpler did I say? I think it would create quite a problem someI times, especially when there 1 wouldn't be butter left over from breakfast. I wonder what was used then, don’t you? Reading a recipe such as the 1850 formula for a cake certainly makes one appreciate the 1 tested, accurate tecipes available today. COLD WAVE (Cont.
