1939. Want No ‘Witch Hunt’ A $150.000 item for the Justice Department was for enforcing the! Voorhis Act, passed last year, requiring all foreign-controlled polit ical organizations to register with the State Department and submit

information on finances, personnel and membership. The Committee advised against witch hunt, but said that the Department plans to proceed vigorously. None of the 30 possible organizations registered under the law The Federal Bureau of Investigation was granted $16.250.000, including all of the $8.750.000 asked for gpecial defense activities Highlights of testimony the committee included: 1. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoovér said that practically the whole first deportation trial of Harry Bridges, West Coast C. I. O. leader. was not conducted in accordance with law because none of the witnesses was testifying unger a legally-acdministered oath Dean James M. Landis, who conducted the trial, could not administer a legal oath, he said, be he was appointed as examiner rather than an inspector.

T0 OLD-AGE RELIEF

Homesteads of applicants will not be considered as “resources” in deciding whether a person is eligible far old-age assistance, the State Welfare Department said today. Before the Welfare Act was] amended by the last Legislature, each applicant was required to give the Welfare Department a lien on all his real property and an assignment on certain personal intangible property. Any assistance granted could be recovered from the recipient's estate, Under the amended law, there can be no recovery from new applicants, according to Fred Hoke! Board president. | However, all property, other than homesteads, will be taken into consideration when the Board is deciding whether or not an applicant should have assistance, it was stated.
