House Probers Will Question More Witnesses WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (UP) House investigators announced today they have subpoenaed a prominent Mid-Western professor and a reputed Pennsylvania Communist organizer to testify in their espionage probe. The two will be brought before a closed session .of a House un-American activities subcommittee soon. They are: Dr. Martin Kamen, of Washington University at St. Louis. Steve Nelson, who supposedly became chairman of the Communist party of Western Pennsylvania a few days ago. Committee Chairman J. Parnell Thomas, R., N. J., refused to disclose the reason for calling the two men. Neither has been named in past espionage hearings before - the committee. Thomas said the committee spent this morning clearing up details of the Hiss-Chambers controversy. Whitaker Chambers, former Communist courier, has named Alger Hiss, ex-State Department official, as a member of a prewar Red underground in the government. Hiss, testifying under oath, has denied the charges. The subcommittee called a number of winesses to testify on the fate ot a 1929 Model-A Ford which belonged to Hiss.
