WASHINGTON, March 26--In a thundorous scene, a Congressional committee ejected the General Secretary of the Communist Party from a hearing today and later heard FBI Chief Edgar Hoover denounce the Communists as a "fifth column."
Eugene Dennis was ousted by the Honso Committee on Un-American Activities because he refused to give any other name but Eugene Dennis. He also refused to tell where or when he was born.
Hoover testified: 1. That the Communists are directed "from Paris with a very definite pipeline into Moscow" and that they are a present danger to this country in the event of war with a Communist nation. 2. That he has "grave doubts" as to the wisdom of making martyrn out of Communists by outlawing them. Also, he said the law might later be ruled unconstitutional.
