Band Leader Testifies Al Red Hearing Artie Shaw Tells Os Attending Meetings, Never Party Member NEW YORK, UP— ~ anil leader Artie Shaw told the house unAmerican activities committee today that he attended', four Communist party recruiting meetings in Los Angeles taJ 1946, but said he was not an.active member of the party.- . \ The famed clarinetist told the committee, headed by Rep. Harold H. Velde, R-111., tluit he wished to “tpll the. whole *tory” of his Connection with California Communists because “suspicion of me is quite justified.” Shaw, blinking in the of TV newsreel cameras, was the first witness to appear before the nine-man committee in a new series of hearings iiito Communist infiltration in the fields of entertainment, education, and “sensitive” federal installations. The. committee will sit in New York for the remainder of the week. After a summary of his career as musician and author, Shaw described how the Communist party attempted to recruit him as an undercover worker jin the Hollywood independent committee for arts, sciences and professions. Shaw was a member of ; the committee’s 100-man executive council in 1946. Tie said, a man who gave his name as Herb Wright or Herb White asked him to become a party member, saying that friends on the council had said "Shaw might .be recruited.” Shaw .said he refused but accepted an invitation to attend a meeting “to see how the Communist party worked in groups like the' HIC.” “I signed' something that would enable me to go to meetings as an observer, making up some name ■because White said it was only to clear me to get in,” Shaw said. "The whole thing was done in a cloak and dagger atmosphere.” Asked by the committee why he had joined a large niUmber of Communist front organizations in the Se 1940’5, Shaw said he was a sry firebrandish young man” o would lend his frame to ah organization u s i ji g the word “peace” dr “democracy.” He said

he had "learned his lesson” hnd has l>een afraid to join anything for the past three years.” -1 Spectators who jammed |!the hearing room in the Federal court building burst into applause when Shaw said he would still like to join an organisation for peace—“a Republican one if I can find it.” Velde reprimanded' the spectators, saying the committee would not countenance such behavior. :.
