Committee Cloaks !
Witnesses In
Mystery
WASHINGTON, (/P), The House
committee on un-American activ-,
ities tossed a cloak of mystery to
day over all but one of its “impor
tant witnesses” summoned to testi
ly tomorrow.
Except to say that Gerhard Eis
ler, arrested yesterday at his New
York home, will be on hand for
the committee’s first public ses
sion of 1947, chairman Thomas
<R.-N. J.», declined to be specific.
Eisler has been depicted in com
mittee testimony as the Kremlin’s
top agent in this country.
“There are about a dozen impor
tant witnesses under subpoena and
you better be on hand to see who
they are,” Thomas told newsmen
who prodded him for some identi
fication.
He could not name them now,
he added, because of “the delicate
nature of the situation.”
Asked whether prospective wit
nesses include Hollywood celebri
ties whom the committee has in
dicated it will question during the
year, Thomas said only “They are
coming from considerable dis
tances.”
Despite Eisler’s arrest in New
York and his transfer to Ellis Is-j
land for possible deportation pro
ceedings, Thomas said he is “con
fident” that Eisler will be on hand
tomorrow.

Ninth Annual Fair to be held in
the early part of April.
on January 31 requested the jus
tice department to keep a “twenty
four hour surveillance in order to

Communist movement’ in the
United States. Budenz renounced
Communism to join the Catholic
church and accept an economics
professorship at Notre Dame and
later at Fordham.
The federal warrant on which
Eisler was picked up yesterday
