The political situatfon in New York, which has been in a troubled state from a Republican viewpoint virtually ever since the national election of two years 8go, was discussed at great length at the White Hbduse last night between President Hoover and Charles D. Hilles, Republican _ national _committeeman | from New York. Mr. Hilles came to | Washington at the President’s invita- tion and remained a guest over night. | Although the White House said aft- | erward that the political situation in the Empire State was the principal sub- | ject of conversation during Mr. Hilles' call, it would not say that the situation | is becoming alarming to the President. | It is known, however, that Mr. Hoover, as titular head of the party, would be happy to see greater harmony among the Republican leaders there and more unity of action. | Mr. Hilles openly opposed Mr. Hoo- ver's nomination in 1928, and for that reason has had little if any contact with the White House since Mr. Hoover's inauguration.

By the Assoclated Press The assertion that Communistic organizations had been formed in the United States to overthrow the Govern- ment was made by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, today before the House com- mittee investigating Communistic ac- tivities At the same time Green placed his organization on Tecord as “uncompro- misingly opposed to Communism and to the Communistic philosophy.” The Communists have felt, Green said, that to bring about world revolution and destruction of the American Govern- ment they would have to overthrow and control the Federation of Labor. He added there never would be a compro- mise with the Communists. Green testified there had been organ- ized in this country the Workers’ (Com- munist) Party of America, the Trade Unity League, the Pioneer Youth Move- ment and the American Negro Labor Congress. He said they were directed from Moscow. As the hearing began Chairman Fish said he believed the Federation of Labor was entitled to the gratitude of the people for combating communistic propaganda.
