Mrs. Roosevelt Spoke For Eisler Committee Finds
Washington—(UP) —Former Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles told a house Unamerican Activities committee Wednesday that Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt interceded in behalf of German-born Hanns Eisler and his wife when they had trouble obtaining visas to enter the United States in 1939.
Hans Eisler, Hollywood composer,
is a brother of Gerhart Eisler, German Communist recently convicted of contempt of the house and passport fraud. The song-writer had testified earlier that he once joined the German Communist party but quit thereafter.
In reply to questions by Committee Investigator Robert Stripling, Welles testified that Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the late president, wrote a note to him on Jan. 11, 1939, saying "We should have "very much disturbed" because the Eislers had difficulty in obtaining visas.
Welles replied that he had known Mrs. Roosevelt for 50 years and that she had communicated and conferred with him on many things since the time that both were children.
Stripling asked if Mrs. Roosevelt was in the habit of writing to Welles on various matters affecting the State department.
Eisler and his wife were in the United States at that time but the expiration date of their visa was approaching and they would have been sent to Cuba before a decision could be reached on their case. Welles replied in the letter. He said that they would have to submit their qualifications to the consul general at Havana.
The only other letter from Mrs. Roosevelt on the subject, Welles said, was a note dated Feb. 7, 1939, which said, "Dear Sumner — This Eisler case seems a hard nut to crack. What do you suggest?" It was signed "E. R."
Before dismissing Welles from the stand, Stripling read into the record a State department resume of the Labor department file on the Eisler case.
"The evidence establishes preponderantly that Eisler is a Communist, although it does not show that he is an enrolled member of the Communist party," the resume said.
Ester appeared earlier and testified that he made application for membership in the Communist party in Germany in 1926 "when I was a young man, but I found out I could not combine artistic activities with political demands, so I dropped out."
At the opening of the hearing, Eisler charged that the committee "has smeared me and done everything possible to prevent me from earning a living."

OU Society Editor, A Man Would Cover London Wedding
Storm center of the battle is Dick King, Stephensville, Texas, senior who upset the traditional newspaper idea that a woman must be society editor. King's boss, the Oklahoma Daily Editor in Chief Quinton Peters, thinks it's time to admit the "noble experiment" has failed. King contends that if the student senate finances sport coverage it also should pay his way to cover the wedding of Princess Elizabeth in England.
Finally, he dashed across an alley with the squirrel in hot pursuit. He finally ran into a bowling alley and slammed the door.
It ran up Hermes and tried to climb his leg. Hermes swung at the squirrel with his mailbag. Each time he brushed the squirrel off it came back.
When police were notified, they searched for the squirrel. They feared it might have rabies.
Hermes discounted their theory. He said fruit from pear trees in the neighborhood was lying around in advanced stages of fermentation.
