Gloom Prevails As Fair Closes

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (U. P.).— The “World of Tomorrow” is now a marvel of yesterday—at least until next spring. The New York ‘World's Fair, 1939, closed at 2 a. m. today. It ended a six-month. season with a total paid attendance of 25,811.733 and a net deficit of $23,440,909. It will reopen for another season May 25. The closing was gloomy. There was a deluge of rain. Attendance was only 79,482. Most concessions closed early to frustrate Halloween hoodlums and 3600 fair employees sloshed through the mud, without jobs and winter coming on.

BERGDOLL SUED FOR $334,800 BY MOTHER

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1—(U. P.). —Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, World War draft dodger serving an eightyear term for evading military service, has been named in a Federal Court suit by his mother, Mrs. Emma Bergdoll, seeking to recover $334,800. The suit, filed in behalf of the elderly Mrs. Bergdoll by Grover’s bfother, Charles A. Braun of Pala, San Diego County, Cal., more than

overbalanced the $300,000 return ordered last week by the Department of Justice against property seized during the World War by the Federal Government.

COMMUNISTIC

Dies - Witness - Charges 85 Per Cent of Maritime Leaders Belong to Party.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 (U. P.)— William C. McCuistion, former Communist under arrest on a fugitive warrant issued by New Orleans police, today charged before the Dies Committee that 85 per cent of the officials of the National Maritime|: Union (C. I. O.Y are members of the Communist Party. McCuistion' is being held by police in connection with New Orleans police investigation of the murder of an N. M. W. official there last September. McCuistion - charged that the N. M. W. was trying to “frame” him. : He said the 85 per cent figure was “giving them the benefit of the

doubt.” He said that only 7 per cent of the membership is Communist.

Describes Union’s. Control

Joseph Curran, president of the Maritime Union, is a Communist, he said, although he testified he had never seen a party card made out to Curran. Curran has declared be-

Communist. Communists are able to keep control of the Union, MeCuistion said, “because out of a membership of 40,000 only 2000 are present to vote at conventions and of these, a compact group of 400 who never go to sea, are Communists and- always on hand.” Many anti-Communist officials popularly elected, he charged, are ousted by Curran and replaced by Communists. : McCuistion said that he was expelled from the Union after he walked out of a convention, protesting a “lack of democratic methods.” Later, he testified, Curran and other union officials told him he “had to get off the waterfront if I wanted to live.”

He said Curran had expressed opposition to the Dies investigation and told him: “We'll have that Martin Dies 50 thoroughly discredited in : a few months that his home town people

Curran told him, he said, “A Mr. Hamm of Port Arthur, Tex.” had been given authority to *“ check up on Mr. Dies from the time he was born.” McCuistion testified after the Committee heard his mother, Mrs. Dolly M. Crawford, declare that Communists had infiltrated the Federal Government.

. Refers to ‘Revolution’

Mrs. Crawford, called unexpectedly when the Committee met today, described a meeting she said took place in her home in Frederick, Md., in the early part of February, 1937. She said that her son and a third person, Joseph Curren, whom Curran “jokingly” referred to as his bodyguard, were present. She saidiithat Curran made no secret of his Communist affilia= tions and was “very much enthused about the ideologies.” In 1937, she said, she asked Curran when the revolution was going to take place in ‘the United States: He replied, she said, that this country. would undergo “a different sort of revolution.” She said Curran believed that the Communist Party could take over the armed forces, the railroads and all government services peacefully through their policy of infiltration into the government.

REPUBLICANS WARN AGAINST SOLICITORS

The State Republican Committee today warned the public against solictors representing themselves as being connected with committee publications. “The committee never has recognized any publication as its official organ and never has authorized the collection of funds or subscriptions for any such publication,” the com-

mittee warned.

necessary,” and “hasn't

plished anything.” But the feeling of the ma jority in the survey is that the Committee is “uncovering facts the United States should know about,” and that “putting the spotlight on un-Amer-ican activities” is “especially desirable in view of the war abroad. Thus, the general tenor of majority opinion is that, while the Dies Committee may have its shortcomings, it fulfills a useful purpose at this time. The survey was completed, however before Chairman Martin Dies revealed the names of 563 Government employees seized in the files of the League for Peace and Democracy, an organization which he alleges is a “front” for communism in the United States. The public's attitude toward this ac-

accom-

| tion, which provoked criticism of

the Committee in many sections of the press and was described by President Roosevelt as a “sordid procedure,” is therefore not reflected in today’s study. A new survey will begin shortly to measure the public’s attitude toward ‘the Committee since this latest action by its chairman. * : In today’s survey a cross-section

of voters throughout the country was asked: ! “Do you think Congress should provide money to continue the Dies Committee for another year?” As the following vote shows, approximately a third of the voters have no opinion on the work of the Committee. tual answers on whether the investigations should continue divided as follows? Continue Committee ....... 53% Discontinue Committee ..... 14 No Opinion .

The study revealed an interesting difference of opinion, by political parties. A much larger proportion of Republicans than of Democrats in the survey favor continuing the Committee. Although the Committee is headed by a Democrat, barely more than half of rank-and-file Democrats are for continuing - its

Q If you're a man who wants to save money and get fine whiskey too— here’s sbme news. Smart men who used to pay. up to $1.48 more a | brands, have ion how to buy a . rich, delicious whiskey and save money doing it. We wanted to know how this came

about. Were these men buying Old . Quaker just to save money? Or did .

Old Quaker’s rich taste appeal to them

still more? So trained investigators

visited 12 states, 46 cities and asked.

Read These Typical Statements:

“What,” said Milo Fender, Keithsburg, Ili. “me pay over $3.00 a quart

quart for ‘expensive’

for whiskey again? Not me, since I

. found Old Quaker saves me $1. 30 or

more on every quart, and is every bit as good.”

“No more: high-priced whiskies for me,” says Frank H. Scott of St. Louis, . Mo. “Old Quaker tastes as good, if not better: That’s a saving of $1.35 a bottle.” :

Ink Yourself

Take a tip from. these men’s bates ments. Every drop of this rich whiskey is now full 4 years old and finer than ever—yet price is still remarkably low. Try Old Quaker for yourself, and see how it can save you money on every bottle you buy.
