Pasternack, 59, radio orchestra con- ductor, collapsed and died yesterday as he was beginning a rehearsal at the National Broadcasting Co. studios for his program scheduled last night. Dr. Eugene Hamilton, summoned from his office in the merchandise mart, said Mr. Pasternack died of heart disease. The conductor came to Chicago last August and directed the symphonic music for the weekly program known as the Contented Hour. He was born in Poland and came to this country as a youth. He became a solo viola player with the Metropolitan Opera Co. in New York. Arturo Toscanini recom- mended him as a conductor and he became one for “the Met.” Later he directed symphony orchestras for concerts and radio. Associates said he was no relation to Joe Pasternak, the Hollywood Thorkelson’s Name Brought Into Trial 0f 16 for Sedition Reynolds, Vandenberg And Wheeler Also Mentioned in Testimony By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 30.—William Gerald Bishop, one of 16 men on trial for conspiring to overthrow the Government, was represented yes- terday as having named Representa- tive J. Thorkelson, a Montana Re- publican, as among the members of his “Action Committee.” This accusation was made indi- rectly in this manner: The Government offered in evi- dence a statement attributed to Macklin Boettger, in which that de- fendant was quoted as having said of his accused co-conspirator: “Bishop stated that (certain) members of the Action Committee, because of their being an integral part of the Army, would necessarily assist the Army in quelling any Communist revolution; that after quelling the Communist revolution they would put Action Committee men into Congress and the Senate. “And he claimed that Congress- man Thorkelson is already an Action committeeman whom he stumped for in Montana. And he also claimed a personal friendship with Senator Reynolds; claimed that he knows Senator Vandenberg very in- timately and that he is on intimate terms with Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana.” Bishop likewise was represented as having sought to “inspire” Brook- lyn members of the Action Commit- tee by stating to them these things: That Boulder Dam once had been “taken over by the Communist- controlled C.I.0.and that here * * * groups of citizen-soldiery formed an A. C. unit and forced the C. I. O.| men at gun point to reopen the| water supply dam for the city and held the C. I. O. men until the Na- tional Guard arrived to take over.” That a strike at Hershey, Pa. (na- ture not identified) was a “Com- munist strike” which was “broken up by a group of A. C. citizen wl-‘ diers.” That a Maryland cement mill once was “closed down by the Communists.” There was here a further reference, not wholly clear, to a “Mr. Mossberger, who was head of the C. I. O. Union.” Thorkelson Denounced Arrests on February 2 By the Associated Press. Testimony that Representative Jacob Thorkelson, Republican, of Montana was linked to the 16 men on trial in New York on sedition charges recalled yesterday that on February 2 he denounced theit arrest as a “childish attempt to shield the Communists.” A statement in which Macklin Boettger, one of the defendants, quoted William Gerald Bishop, another, as saying Mr. Thorkelson was a member of their “action” committee was placed on record by Government attorneys. Saying that he did not know either man, Mr. Thorkelson de- clared that the Boettger statement was a “pure fabrication” and chal- lenged any one to prove it. He add- ed. however, that he thought the notion that the 16 defendants would overthrow the Government was “laughable.” Ridicules Reference to Weapons. “Thirteen rifles.” he explained, re- ferring to the weapons allegedly seized from the defendants. “Why, T've got more rifles than that at | home.” Saying the Government was “wasting its time" prosecuting the Christian Front, he referred to this statement which he put into the | Congressional Record February 2. “The recent flasco in New York. where 16 young men were arrested for the possession of obsolete rifles, which they used for target practice, is a childish attempt to shield the Communists, who operate openly with the utmost freedom in their attempted destruction of our Gov- ernment, * * ¢ “The Dies Committee has made a good start and should continue to investigate the higher Commu- nists. ¢ ¢ ¢ “Government records, intelligence reports and hundreds of publica- tions reveal that the Communist and his fellow travelers are the anti- Americans who are threatening our | Government and institutions of learning. The question may, there- fore, be asked: What is the Depart- ment of Justice and the F. B. I. walting for?” Sees Hand of Communists. Mr. Thorkelson declared that “the recent attempt in smearing the Christian Front and the Dies Com- mittee” was Communist-inspired, and added: “It was this kind of ridicule that was heaped on Gen. Moseley, Messrs. Deatherage, Pelley, True and others because of having ex- posed and identified the Com- munists. These gentlemen are 100 per cent patriotic American citizens seen Mr. Thorkelson said orally yester- day that he opposed Communism, Nazism and Fascism, but thought the latter two milder than Com- munism and felt “the Justice De- partment should go after the Com- munists.” Proctor Will Tell Of Scandinavian Trip John Clagett Proctor, vice presi- dent of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants, will describe the bat- tlegrounds of the Scandinavian countries from personal knowledge in an address to the association tomorrow night. Mr. Proctor will tell of his visit to Denmark, Norway and Sweden, |in 1933, when, with Mrs. Proctor, he traveled over much of the country when thé Germans and allied troops now are engaged in battle.

BALTIMORE, April 30—Senator Tydings, campaigning for the re- nomination of his colleague. Senator Radcliffe, today had asserted that Howard Bruce and his sponsors “have failed dismally to show any real reason why Mr. Bruce should be nominated.” ‘The senior Maryland Senator. who will join with Senator Radcliffe in two addresses in Prince Georges County tonight, declared the current campaign “in some respects has been sillv: too silly. indeed, for a great office like that of United States Senator. “Mr. Bruce's supporters have stated over the radio that they would criticize Senator Radcliffe’s | record, but there has been too little of it for any one to criticize. “Sheer nonsense and a smoke | screen—that is all these statements | amount to. What they should have | said is that they disagree with Sen- | ator Radcliffe’s record too little to criticize it.” | On State-Wide Radio Hookup. Senator Tydings' talk was made over a State-wide radio hookup. He said that outside of ‘“some | three or four small, isolated in- | stances” Mr. Bruce has not said one word of public criticism of | Senator Radcliffe’'s voting record bn more than 100 votes on “the most important matters coming be- | fore the United States Senate in | the last five years. | “That is a powerful indorse- ment.” he said, “of Senator Rad- cliffe by the very man who is seek- |ing to get his seat in the Senate. | {In the language of baseball Mr. Radcliffe thus has a batting av- erage of .960 out of a possible 1,000, | even in Mr. Bruce's own estimation.” “These are the facts” Senator Tydings continued, “and you who are listening know they are facts. You know my statements will stand ithe light of scrutiny. You know I | know there has not been any tangible reason, even a remote reason, offered to show you why Mr. Bruce would make a better United States Senator than George | Radcliffe has made.” Senator Tydings concluded by as- serting that he knows “both men | well and that I have had the privi- lege of the friendship of each for many years. A choice between | friends is always one of some diffi- culty but the facts are so conclusive in support of Senator Radcliffe’s candidacy that I feel a recital of ! them will convince any person will- | ing to be influenced by facts, that George L. Radcliffe is entitled to the | affection, esteem and support of the | people of this State and Nation.” { Senators Radcliffe and Tydings will speak at 7 o'clock tonight at the Prince George County Courthouse, in Upper Marlboro, and at 8:30 o'clock at the Blue Bird Hall in| Mount Rainier. | | | | | | Honey Cloud in Dixie Bpecial Dispatch to The Star.

KENNEDY, Star Staff Correspondent. BALTIMORE, April 30—Gov. O'Connor and National Committee- man Howard Bruce were speakers from the same platform at a series of rallies in the second election district of Baltimore last night, in the campaign to capture the | Baltimore City vote for Mr. Bruce in his effort to wrest the Demo- cratic nomination for United States Senator from Senator Radcliffe. Earlier, Gov. O'Conor, in a radio | address, urged the Maryland voters | to elect Mr. Bruce, declaring Sena- | tors Tydings and Radcliffe have ! nullified each others votes on some 40 important pieces of legislation. | Mr. Bruce, replying to a radio talk by Senator Tydings, who claimed Mr. Bruce had agreed with Senator Radcliffe on his recorded votes in | the Senate, declared that, to the contrary, he had argued persistently with Senator Radcliffe on various important measures. He gave as ex- amples taxation of undistributed surpluses, Federal Government re- organization, and the Supreme Court bill. He emphasized that the only | reason he is now opposing Senator Radcliffe is because he has been opposed to Senator Radcliffe’s policies and course of action during the time he has been in the Senate. Bruce Backs Kennedy. “The only issue in this campaign,” | he stressed, “is who is going to best | represent you in the United States | Senate.” In his rally talks last night Mr. Bruce urged the re-election of Representatives Kennedy and D’Alesandro. In Gov. O'Conor's broadcast speech he said that “upon the vital | considerations of ability, judgment,‘ energy, courage and readiness to ac- | cept responsibility Mr. Bruce is bet- | ter equipped than Senator Radcliffe | to represent us in the Senate.” He| added further that, “based upon the relative services to the Democratic party over a period of many years, Mr. Bruce is more entitled to con- sideration at the hands of our party than Senator Radcliffe.” No Apology for Income Tax. Gov. O'Conor reiterated that “no apology” was necessary for the State income tax law, which Senator Rad- | cliffe claimed was drafted with the< help of Mr. Bruce. | The Governor said it was either a question of adopting the income tax or passing a sales tax on increased | real estate levies. “* * * Asa result of it (the in- come tax) Maryland has now, for the | first time in many years, a balanced | budget,” Gov. O'Conor said. TODAY. Senate: Debates bill to provide T. V. A. payments to States and counties in | lieu of taxes. House: Continues debate on wage-hour | amendments.

'German Guarantee Slovakia Is Warned | Not to Hide Behind Rights of Minority Lansburgh fo Start Remodeling Store Thursday Six Buildings on Seventh Street _To Be Refaced Lansburgh & Bro,, the oldest de- partment store in Washington, Thursday will start remodeling and refacing its Seventh street build- ings. In 1860, when Gustav and James Lansburgh started business in Washington, they laid the founda- tion for future growth in a space of 10 by 15 feet square. Twenty-two years later the firm placed an advertisement in The Star announcing the move north on Seventh street to Nos. 420, 422 and 424. This expansion they recog- nized as ti® “biggest move in our business career.” These three buildings.are among the six on Seventh street to be re- modeled. 3 The firm expects the remodeling of these buildings, considered mas- terpieces of commercial building architecture in their day, will be another step forward in improving the general appearance of Seventh street. The design was selected, it is said, after serious thought had been given to the type of front that would be an improvement to the neighborhood and the last word in store design. The entire Seventh- street front will be new and of Ala- bama limestone. Contrasting to the stone, the windows, doors, marquee and other trimming will be of solid aluminum. The entrances will have doors that open at the slightest touch. Lobby facilities have been planned for the display of mer- chandise and for ease in entrance and egress. Porter & Locke are the archi- tects and James L. Parsons is the builder. Dies Calls for Vi;fl;nce Against Subversion By the Associated Press. STAUNTON, Va, April 30— Representative Dies, Democrat. of Texas told a Kiwanis-sponsored luncheon yesterday that while there perhaps was no immediate danger to the United States from “in- sidious” activities of subversive groups, eternal vigilance was the price of liberty, Must Be Respected, Hungary Declares By the Associated Press. BUDAPEST. April 30.—Hungary today warned Slovakia, a protec- torate of Germany, that she would “not hesitate to act in defense of her national honor, if the rights of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia are not respected. The government declaration, read by Count Stefan Csaky, minister of foreign affairs. to the upper house of Parliament warned Slovakia against “hiding behind the German guarantee” of her independence | “because we fully believe in the stability of Hungarian - German friendship.” Count Csaky's declaration said the present position of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia must be quickly | remedied and that Hungary was | “now at the limit of her patience. The declaration was read in re. sponse to a question by Geza Szullo, one of the leaders of the Hungarian minority in the former Czecho-Slovak state. Szullo alleged in his question that Hungarians had been “terribly oppressed” in Slo- vakia and that the Slovaks had been told to “tear out the tongue of any one who speaks Hungarian.” Szullo asserted there had been frequent anti-Hungarian demon- strations in Slovakia, often accom- panied by violence which “the Slo- vak police watch benevolently.” Count Czaky's declaration, after asserting that Hungary had tried its best to establish neighborly rela- tions with Slovakia, said Hungary wishes to play her part in consoli- dating European tranquillity, but “there is a limit.” He said the most difficult problem |of the Un-American Investigating Committee which he heads was to convince Americans of steadily erowing dangers from Communist agents, fanatically devoted to their leaders. Such agents, he said, num- bered from 100.000 to 1,000,000 Mr. Dies also denounced politicians who, he said, desired to retain the support of Communist, Fascist and Nazi factions at the polls in large urban centers and who worked against legislation to close the door to more such imhigrants.
