Oct. 29. — | Fifteen screen writers are due to testify this afternoon and to- morrow at the hearing of the house un-American _ activities committee, and Chairman Thomas said they could testify or not testify, as they pleased. Each witness, Thomas explain- ed, would be first asked this question, “Are you a Commun- ist?” and if he refused to answer it, he would, be dismissed from the stand. Whether or not he will be cited, for contempt of a con- gressional committee, Thomas did not say, though it was the gen- eral opinion that he would pro- ceed as he had done yesterday, when three witnesses were cited for contempt. Opinion was gencral in the committee room» that all writers would fall in line with those of yesterday, ‘in, refusing to answer the question. They maintain that there is no law compelling American citizens to name the political party to which they be- long. It was said further that the ence V.

No police- man or fireman can be removed by the chief or any other person. Power of removal is vested in the Civil Service Board, after a trial in which an employe is found guilty of a_ charge made against him. City employes are aware of that fact, but some Key Westers are spreading a rumor that, if a certain candidate for the commission is not re- elected, all firemen and policemen will lose their jobs, The rumor is poli- tical hokum, designed to get votes for that certain candidate.
