The committee meanwhile pro
mixed what it called sensational
testimony later today that Holly-

Lardner and Cple were the first
witnesses today. They made a

But Brecht, an Immigrant who
took out his first citizenship pa-

in broken English:
"I am a guest in this country
and I do not want to enter court
proceedings. I was not a member
of any Communist party."
Brecht conceded that he had

Europe. He said they were revo-

"against Hitler" and “I was for
the overthrow of that government."

Earlier, other compromises were

Russian resolution to brand the

Squabble Over Porte
FORT WORTH, Tex., Oct. 30. au.m
Th* historic rivalry between the
cities of Dallas and Fort Worth
literally rose “sky high” today,
rekindled by Fort Worth's an-
nounced plan to buy Midway Air-
port and spend $11,500,000 to gar-
ner littcrnatlonal and commercial
air traffic.
The plan, announced yesterday
by the city council, calls for buy-
ing the little-used 966-acre field
from the City of Arlington, as well
as an additional 378 acre* Imme-
diately to the south.
First reaction in Dallas was ona
of concern tor aerial operations
in that Southwest air capital.
Quick assurances, however, came
from Branirf and American Air-
lines officials, who said service to
Dallas would continue at its pres-
ent high leve.
The Midway field, equidistant
between Dalia* and Fort Worth,

"This word has revived our
hopes," he said "Our informant
told us that Mr. Mikolajexyk wished
hia whereabouts to remain secret
for few days in order to conceal
the route by which he escapd and
protect those persons who assisted
him."
But there was no official news of
him in London and Whitehall offi-

to believe that the '"escape" story
