Charlie Chaplin fs Next Hollywood Probe Figure
Comedian to Be Grilled On His Political Activities
Charlie Chaplin
Special to Central Press XPTASIIINTiTON—Charlie Chaplin, next Hollywood celebrity to W face the music of a congressional inquiry, will use the counter-offensive tactics which proved so successful for Howard Hughes in his battle with the Brewster committee. The multi-millionaire comedian is to appear before the House committee on un-American activities for grilling regarding his alleged Communist associations. Like Hugnes, Chaplin plans to “come out swinging.” i Charlie has lure 1 Russell nirdwcll, hi^h-powered and highly-paid Hollywood public relations expert, to direct his plan of campaign. Birdwell says he will use fullpage advertisements in newspapers, radio ads,' and every other medium of publicity to “make sure that the public hears Chaplin's side of the
story.”
The publicist claims he "called the turn" on the ' result of Hughes' appearance before the Senate:
war investigating committee.
Before Hughes took the stand, r.irdwell took a full page in a Hollywood trade paper read re* I ligiously by moviedom, labeled his nussage "you I don't have to take it," denounced congressional ! use of what he called “lynch law," and strongly 1
advised Hughes to “fight back.”
The press agent, of course, said he planned to
file a million-dollar libel suit against Noah Dietrich, Hughes’ top aide, who testified that Birdwell had padded his expense account. However, Birdwell said his differences with Dietrich were a “Holly-
wood family matter." • • • •
• T A IT’S choice Before hard-working, conscientious Senator Robert Taft (R), Ohio, the Republican senatorial policy maker, lies one of the mast difficult decisions ever to confront un American in
peacetime polities.
Taft, currently vacationing at Murray Bay, must announce before the leaves fall whether he will be a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination when the chips are down at the GOP national Convention in Philadelphia next year. Taft announced last spring that he would reserve this decision until the record of the first session of the 80th Congress, where his guiding hand was dominant, was made. At the conclusion of his vacation he will swing through the Pacific northwest, labor’s "hotbed," and through the west before committing himself. The Ohioan, himself the aon of a president, now commands probably more pre-convention delegates than any other potential candidate, including New York s Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. But those who know Taft are certain that lie will not seek the nomination if he docs not think he can win Bio election. Labor has pledged many millions to beat Taft if he is the GOP standard bearer because of what labor describes as the "slave .TaftHartlcy" labor regulation law. However, there close to Taft say that he believes the law will work out well for labor as well as management. He will not, they My. be deterred by so-called "political threats” of unions. He showed that he was not dodging the labor issue, observers point out, when he took the chairmanship of the Senate labor committee. thereby "sticking his neck out."
