Actress' Mother Asks Congress to Outlaw Reds
Washington — (UP) — Film star singer Rogers' mother today asked congress to outlaw the Communist party and "preserve the Bill of Rights for those for whom it was designed."
Mrs. Lela Rogers, a trim, blue- laited figure with a swept back blond loifurc, told the house un-American activities committee that Communists in Hollywood—she named clayyrwright Clifford Odets among them—tried to infiltrate "our unions, our scripts and our productions."
Under questioning by committee counsel Robert E. Stripling, she said the Communist party ought to be outlawed as "an agency of a foreign government."
She said the bill of rights ought to be preserved for those "for whom it was designed" She did not identify these persons, but said the Bill of Rights should not apply to "the saboteurs and enemies of our country."
Mrs. Rogers, an assistant to theate R.K.O. president Charles Koerier said she objected to employment of Odets to write a script for actorCary Grant based on the book "NoneBut the Lonely Heart" by RichardLewelyn.
But R.K.O. overrode her objections and Odets did the picture, which 'was not a box office success.'
She said her daughter, Ginger togers had frequently rejected movieines she did not like.
Asked how Communists in Hollywood worked, Mrs. Rogers said:
"When a Communist secures a firm footing in a picture, he surrounds himself only with other Communists."

Taft Announces His Candidacy For President
Washington—(UP)—Sen. Robt. A Taft, of Ohio, today announced his candidacy for next year's Republican presidential nomination. He is 58 years old and the son of a former President, William Howard Taft, 1909-13.
Taft keyed his announcement to a cautious campaign of avoiding pre-convention primary contests with other Republican aspirants.
His announcement came in the face of determined insistence by many influential Republicans that Taft would be a weak candidate. His supporters respond sharply that Taft already is the most influential man in his party. They insist that the 1948 G. O. P. platform must be largely a Taft platform because he was so effective in shaping the party's legislation during the past session of congress.
The senator is a fascinating and baffling political figure. To some persons he is a wild and woolly radical. That is what opponents of public housing think of him. To some other voters Taft is an unspeakable Tory. To many of his fellow citizens Taft looks like the most competent legislator in the United States congress.
Taft's greatest weakness or his greatest strength may prove to be the labor control bill which he sponsored and carried to enactment in the senate this year.
Organized labor through its spokesman appears to be boiling mad at Taft. He was picketted on his western tour. But regardless of the effect of the Taft-Hartley act on the senator's political future, the Republican platform will have to adopt and endorse its principles next year.

To Divide $6,000 On Rent Deposits At Sunflower
Six-thousand dollars will be divided among 600 Sunflower students when they pay their rent next month. D.W. McDonald, housing manager, said today.
A recent cut in federal appropriations for Sunflower is the reason given for the return of deposits.
Rental deposits are no longer being collected, he explained. The $10 deposit students made when they moved into the village will be returned as rental adjustments are credited to each account.
He emphasized that the housing administration has not eased up on rulings concerning damage to the apartments. A cash settlement will have to be made whenever there is any damage to a unit. Under the old regulations the $10 deposit was used to cover minor property damage.
"Most of the families who have moved away from the village got their $10 deposit back anyway," McDonald said. "This new policy will save us a lot of unnecessary book-keeping."
