for the house un-American activities committee, said last night he would ask that Elliott Roosevelt, son of the late President, be subpenaed by the committee “to explain his foreign political policies.” Mr. Adamson said during a stopover here that he was en route to Los Angeles to discuss Mr. Roosevelt with Committee Chairman John 8. Wood (D. Gal). Mr. Adamson’s statement apparently was prompted by an article in the current issue of Newsweek magazine quoting Mr. Roosevelt's remarks at an embassy party in Moscow. He was quoted as having made © pro-Russian, anti-American statements, Mr. Roosevelt will be given full opportunity to explain, his foreign political policies,” My. Adamson said. He added that/ he felt Mr. Roosevelt's remark also should be investigated by a grand jury. At a press conference in Moscow yesterday, Mr, Roosevelt said the party, given in honor of himself and his former motion picture actress wife, Faye Emerson, was a “put up job” by the American embassy, and that questions asked were designed to “bait him.”

" a & Military Training THE WAR DEPARTMENT and major veterans’ organizations have moved one step closer together on universal military training. . Though the American Legion hasn't given up its four-months basic training plan—endorsed by the San Francisco convention— there's evidence it’s looking for a way out. The war department tactfully recognizes that Legion leaders have made some flat commite ments and won't push them. Pres-

command will be George Bender (0.), who says committee will go over all government jobs with a fine-tooth comb to determine essentiality, Army and navy won't be exempt, says Bender.
