WASHINGTON, D.C., NOV. 12.—
Samuel Dickstein, chairman of the House Immigration and Naturalization Subcommittee which will open interim hearings Tuesday on Nazi propaganda activities in the United States, today angrily refused to say whether Clarence Hathaway, editor of the Daily Worker, will be asked to appear before the investigating body to read into the official record the Daily Worker's international exposures of Nazi murder, espionage and propaganda activities in this country.
Dickstein's noncommittal reply contrasts sharply with his statement made several weeks ago to the Daily Worker that Hathaway would be "invited" to appear before the committee.
It is understood that Dickstein plans to convene his subcommittee tomorrow in a short secret session to map out the course of the hearings. Formal public sessions begin Tuesday.
Martin Dies of Texas, the proponent of the bill which bears his name and provides for "the exclusion and expulsion of alien Communists," is a member of the Immigration Subcommittee. The others are: Kerr, North Carolina; Underwood, Ohio; Crowe, Indiana; Kramer, California; Dirksen, Illinois; Taylor, Tennessee, and Focht, Pennsylvania.
