Whalen appeared today mittee investizating communist ac- tivities in the United States. He apologized to the committee for his late arrival, saying he had been misinformed as to when he was to appear. In less than 15 minutes of testi- mony before the committee recessed for luncheon, Whalen said that when he was police commissioner a survey of the communist situation here was begun by the police at the request of the labor department in Washing- ton. 2,000 Sent Documents More than 2,000 questionnairss were sent to suspected communisis, 600 of those receiving the question- naires failing to answer them. Whalen then began a discusison or the criminal records of strike leaders who participated in com- | munist walkouts in New York dure ing the past four years. He’sald that practically all of the communist | strike leaders had criminal records. As illustrations he sald that Peter Darck, Harry Raymond and Irving | Potash had been convicted of mis- demeanors and felonies.
