SNYDER WASHINGTON # — Rep. Velde (R-Ill) is. awaiting word from the House Rules Committee to open the way for him to seek a vote of confidence as chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee. He told newsmen he has the promise of Chairman Leo Allen (R-Ill) of the rules group that his “personal request” for clearance | sidered. ! Velde joined Rep. ° Donald * L. |Jackson (R-Calif) in asking the jtules commfittee ‘to send to’ the ‘full House the resvlution offered |by Rep. Roosevelt (D-NY) last | week. ; Roosevelt called for Velde’s oust- ler, accusing him of bringing dis- jeredit on House members. Roose- | velt said, among other things, this |was a result of Velde’s assertion that it is ‘entirely possible” the Red probers might to into “the church field” in séarch-of sub- versive individuals. In Jackson’s heated speech to the House, demanding a showdown, he | swung out at two clergymen, Jackson asserted Methodist Bish- op G. Bromley Oxnam -of Wash- ington “has been to the Conimu- nist front what Man. O‘War was to thoroughbred racing.” He also; declared that the Rev. Claude C. Williams of Birmingham was al-| leged to have said he was in the | church “because I ean reach peo- j ple easier that way and get them | organized for communism.” Bishop Oxnam promptly retorted that Jackson had “used the floor of the House to broadcast a lie.” Williams is not now a resident of Birmingham and could not be! reached for comment. Allen declined to comment on the requests for clearance of the resolution, | Jackson declared that if the House removed Veide from his | chairmanship it would “destroy | | the utility of the committee andj; | shatter the confidence of the Amer- ican people in its operation.” Chapter 24 \ HEN Jim Rimbaud awoke it was coming daylight and Della-stood by the bedroom win- dow with his gun in her hand. He wondered why she should be holding. a gun, and intended to ask her about the voices. But he drifted off to sleep, and when he opened his eyes again Della was beside him on the bed, her face so near he could feel the gentle brush of ‘her measured breathing. Lying motionless so as not to disturb her, Rimbaud wondered if his ribs were broken, or mere- ly. cracked. He took a deep breath, and feeling no_ pain, thought: Just sprung a trifie is all. He probed his side andfound it so sensitive that he winced at the slight cressure of his fingers. He was aware of a soreness that sheathed his whole body; even his right hand was sore. Exam- ining it, he grinned at sight of the bruised knuckles. Booger Bill would also have some sore spots this morning. Rimbaud thought about last night — che half - remembered voices that had merged with his confused dreaming. Had he actu- ally heard Hugh Jubal's voice, and if so, what had Della told her father's toreman? And what duld he tel: Lew Stromberg? Rimbaud didn’t realize that he | had dozed off until he heard a man’ announce. “Well, he’s not dead.” Turning his head, Rimbaud saw Doc Featiierstone. And then, as the medico leaned over to exam- ine him, Rimbaud peered at Eve Odegarde, who stood in the bed- room dootway. There was an ex~ pression of shocked wonderment in her eyes, as if she was aston- ished at what she saw. Aston- ished and repelled. Riv yaud thought instantly: I must be a sorry sight. He grinned end said, “Good morning, Sweet St “How do you feel?” Eve asked, not smiling. “Like P’'d been trompéd: by: six shod broncs,” Rimbaud admitted. “But I’ve felt worse and lived.” Doc Featherstone unwound the: wide bandage and. gave Rim- baud’s bruised flesh a squint-eyed appraisal. Presently Doc said, “Two broken ribs. Perhaps three.” “You sure?” Rimbaud asked. German Stage Artists Object To Bubble Art By RICHARD K. O’MALLEY HAMBURG, Germany (# — The German Stage Artists Association has declared war on the bubble | dancers anq the strip-tease girls who peel the dulcet tones of a Strauss waltz. - * The association, made up of en- | tertainers in all fields, has ap- | pealed to the West German govern- ment to put a stop to such ex- posure of feminine charms. “These so-called ‘beauty dances.” which have nothing to do with dancing or beauty, are a blow to the profession and an offense against the honor of women,” snorts Willie Flemdann, associa- tion president. Fiemdann and his associates are hoping that the thriving night club business in girls who wear little more than a smile while walking around to music will die a natural death. “Public interest is slackening,” Flemdann says. “The strip tease is now presented largely to provin- cial audiences.” On the other hand, he says many clubs in bigger cities feature en-! tertainment in which the object of | the entertainers is to keep the, | customer buying drinks. | The association says the reports }of many German girls being Mex-} jporee to Oriental, Afsican and {South American cities is only a | minor worry. | “Reports of this ‘export in| blondes’ are often exaggerated for jthe sake of sensation,” Flemdann says. But jgst to keep on the safe | side, the association recommends | that girls taking jobs out of the! country inform themselves what | kind of peopie they are going to} work for. The big headache for the artists | | association is the changing tastes \in_ audiences. { | They just don’t go for the “hup- hup” acrobats who toss each other | around. | “People want to laugh nowada |days,” Flemdann reports. “They jean see athletics at sports stadi-} j ums.” America has exercised a some-| | what baleful influence on German! entertainment, too, Flemdann says. | | “The ‘spectacle’ has conquered: |the center of attention.
