This is the gist of an analysis of the testimony so far taken, made public today by the Congressional committee on un-American activities. Representative Samuel Dickstein, vice chairman of the committee, summed up his findings as: "You can't get away from It, somebody is trying to shield somebody on some thing that looks rotten." Turns on Broker The witnesses now absent are Robert Sterling Clark, wealthy Manhattan broker, and his attorney, Albert G. Christmas. The larger part of the statement turns on the testimony of Gerald C. MacGuire, bond salesman, who was Intrusted to handle $107,000 for Clark and who, while unable to explain how he had defrayed the money, branded the B'ltier allegations as inspired by a desire for publicity.

Prepare Subpenas "As the evidence stands," says the report, "it calls for an explanation that the has been unable to obtain from Mr. MacGuire." The committee has prepared sub-penas to be served on Clark and Christmas on their return but, according to its statement, "has had no evidence that in the slightest degree would warrant calling beforo it such men as John W.

Sims and Hanford Mac-Nider." Strike Disrupts Bus Line Service A strike of 80 drivers today disrupted the Bee Line bus service extending from Jamaica through eastern Queens and Nassau. Police guarded the company's terminal at 163d St. and Archer Place, Jamaica, and 85 plainclothes men were assigned to ride the buses. There was no violence. The strike order was precipitated by an order of Supreme Court Jus--tice Philip S.

Reles was discharged for lack of evidence, but the Judge told hlra his career "probably will be ended by a police bullet." He now Is serving an indeterminate term in Welfare Island Penitentiary for assault. Commissioner Valentine called his men's attention to a collection of machine guns, rifles, pistols, silencers, ammunition and tear gas bombs found at 301 W. 46th Manhattan, after the arrest a few days ago of six men and a woman in connection with the Prudential Savings Bank robbery in Brooklyn.

"The racketeers, the thugs and the gunmen who prey on honest people in this city must get out. I want you to drive them out. Strauss is nothing but a paid assassin and he is the best-dressed man In this room this morning.

He doesn't work and he doesn't know what work is. "When you get up against men like him don't hesitate they should be marked up and mussed up. I don't want these men coming in here looking as if they had just left a barber chair. That velvet collar should be smeared with blood. "I want you to understand you'll be supported no matter what you do, provided you are Justified.

Make it so disagreeable for men like this that they'll leave the city because they fear arrest. Don't treat them lightly. "Take this message back to your associates. This town is no place for racketeers, thugs and criminals. In the last ten days three honest Brooklyn merchants have been killed by quick-trigger men.

I shall protect you. The District Attor neys will protect you. Bring these known criminals in mussed up." Commenting on his action later, the Police Commissioner told newspapermen: "We want to be careful, however, not to harm innocent people, and we don't want to use police brutality on any one because of different political faiths, but on thugs and gorillas and assassins the sky is the limit. We don't want police brutality, but that's the only way to stop these criminals." Sales Tax Plan Given 0. By Conference at City Hall $290 cash and jewelry.

Detectives said Ginsberg admitted takine tjart in the robbery, and that he had let his two companions out at 50th St. and New Utrecht Ave. to take a B.

M. T. train to Manhattan. After being questioned in the 5th Avenue station, Ginsberg, according to detectoives, revealed he nad an appointment to meet his two confederates and split up the loot this afternoon at a street corner on the East Side of Manhattan. Detectives set out with Ginsberg to keep the trvst.

The police were put on the trail that led to Ginsberg's arrest by Dutka, who stuck his head out of the window of the washroom where he was imprisoned and noted the license plate number of the blue sedan in which the robbers sped down McDonald St. It was easy to remember, 5L-33-33. The registration, according to police, was in Ginsberg's name. Find Murdered Man in Barrel Continued from Page 1 said Merz told him he gave the two men a bed in the store, where they stayed until Saturday. Merz said he saw Brunner the last time that day, but on Sunday, on telegraphic instructions from Brunner, who had gone to Dayton, he handed the package Brunner had said contained the diamonds to the secretary, who was to have ratten them to Brunner at Dayton.

Merz said he had heard the two men make numerous sharp remarks to each other but at no time had they had a serious quarrel. Robbery Theory After Merz gave the secretary the package he accompanied him to an interurban depot but never saw him after that, he said. The. Jeweler said, however, that other persons had told him the secretary was in ft restaudant here after the time he supposedly left for Dayton. Eb'rlght said the investigation was being conducted along the theory that the slaying was planned care fully to get possession of the dia monds.

The body was found at Cincinnati shortly after midnight last night. Unclothed, it had been stuffed into a barrel, whlch'was found in a garage in the basement oC a home in Avondale, Cincinnati suburban center of Jewish population. The garage In which the barrel was found was rented Sunday to a man who styled himself "an embroidery salesman from the East." Mrs. Goldie Miller, who rented the garage, said the man drove into it with a car bearing a barrel on the rear end. Stayed With Dentist The Flatbush Ave, address is the home of Dr.

A. H. Cohen, dentist, who said that he had been a friend of Brunner for ten years and that the jewelry salesmen, on his calls to New York, stayed with him. He said that Brunner was born in England and lived in Los Angeles, and had stayed a week with hm five weeks ago. Bus Driver Asserts She esembles One Who Rode With Three Girls Continued from Page 1 a suitcase, picked up two miles from where the girls' bodies were found, as one of three carried by the woman.

One child. White said, answered to the name of Jennie. She was the youngest of the three. Helped Her Off Bus Before going into the morgue, 'White said he had described the children to authorities, even to a hole in the coat of the youngest, estimated to be about seven years old. This one he remembered particularly because he had helped her on and off the bus.

On the four-hour trip from New York to Harrisburg, White said the woman never once got off the bus. She was about 35 years old, he said, with chestnut hair and 'commonly ''dressed." White's story that the woman with the children on his bus was clothed in a red dress and a brown coat spurred authorities to redouble I their efforts to check on clothing worn by the woman killed at Dun-cansville. Had on Red Dress This woman had on a red woolen dress. The dress has been taken to State Police Headquarters at Harrisburg, where it was being examined closely for comparison with a white red -striped jacket, found in the suitcase picked up two miles from where the bodies of the children were discovered. White said the tickets the woman had for herself and the children were for trips from Boston to Pittsburgh.

Duncansville is between Carlisle and Pittsburgh. The woman explained, White said, that she had little money. As far as he knew, the bus driver said, the children ate only a few graham crackers on the entire journey. Find Clothing: in Bag Stat epolice centered their attention on thesmall black bag found Thursday in the underbrush. This bag, holding women's and girls' apparel which corresponded to the clothing worn by the children, as well as a man's shirt, trousers and undergarment, the troopers hoped would lead to an identification of fie three snub-nosed, freckled children.

The Boston Evening American said, meanwhile, that Earl Sylvester of Boston, a Greyhound bus driver, positively identified pictures of the three girls as those of passengers on his bus from Boston to New York lat week. Wading through flimsy clues, State and county investigators seemed agTeed upon one thing: that the children died at the hands of poverty-frantic parents. Study Vaccinations Medical examination, it was disclosed, indicated the children had nothing to eat for possibly: 18 hours before they died. Some suggested the children were not dead when they were laid, with apparent tenderness, In their blankets in the i hills. These suggested the three might have died from hunger and exposure.

Vaccinations on their shoulders, which officers of the United States Army medical barracks here said apparently were performed by Army doctors, also were scrutinized after it was believed the man's shirt found in the black bag was handled through military agencies. Three empty seats in a schoolroom somewhere are expected to aid in the identification as teachers all over the country checked classes at the request of Pennsylvania police. Hunt Couple's Identity Altoona, Nov. 26 CP) Police cast about today for clues to the Identities of a man and woman found Saturday shot to death in a railroad flag station at Duncansville, near Altoona.

Cortelyou, president of the company, said in a statement. This eventuality was forecast by Miio R. Maltbie, chairman of the Public Service Commission, several days ago. Mr.

Cortelyou said his company will pay this year, on the basis of current city, State and Federal taxes, $41,750,000, or 19 percent of its total revenue. An ad dition to this tax load would deprive stockholcvrs of a fair return on their investments, he main tained. Ledger Publisher To Discuss Terms Newark, N. Nov. 26 OP) Newspaper Guild leadership representing striking editorial workers of the Newark Morning Ledger, were to meet today with Lucius T.

Russell, Ledger publisher, to discuss a contract for minimum wages and hours. Russell has Indicated that a "grievance committee" clause stands in the way of agreement and Guild officials have offered to discuss modification of the clause. The strike committee meanwhile went ahead with preparations to continue the walkout at least a month in the belief, its spokesman said, that Russell "has no intention of effecting a settlement which would give any real protection to his star! unless compelled to do so by force of public opinion."

Davis, member of the Washington delegation to the current tri-power negotiations. Matsudaira said Japan wants equality with Great Britain as well as the United States and formally denied some reports published abroad that Japan had suggested equality only with America.

The two also discussed procedure after Japan denounces the Washington Treaty but no specific statement was made by Matsudaira, nor did he say on what date the treaty will be denounced. Italy Defies Jugoslavia Copyright, 1934, by the Associated Press Kome, Nov. 26 Italy today openly defied Jugoslavia's attempt to investigate the plot that resulted in the assassination of King Alexander at Marseille last month by refusing France's demand for the extradition of two alleged principals.

Only 7 of 19 Unions Appear at Parley Washington, Nov. 26 (P) Indicating that past differences are still in dispute, only 7 of 19 unions in the American Federation of Labor Building Trades Department showed up today for a convention. William Green, Federation president, called the meeting alter th Federation's general convention had ruled the department's previous meeting this year and all Its illegal.

RUMANIA BANS REDS Bucharest, Nov. 26 (A) All Communist organizations in Rumania were dissolved and their property confiscated today by order of the military authorities. Ask Astronomers To Study Climates Washington, Nov. 26 (P) The National Planning Board thinks a bit of star gazing might help In charting the course of the ship of State.

The board reasons that the history of climate and how it changes may have important bearing on economic planning and that astronomy, if some astronomers are correct, may throw light on climate. Perhaps with floods and droughts in mind, the board accordingly reported to President Roosevelt. GINGER ROGERS now starring in "The Gay Divorcee' looks lovely with this bewitching braid! Continued from Page 1 dermanic President Deutsch and Borough Presidents Ingersoll, Levy and Lyons and 12 Aldermanic leaders, was in session for more than two hours. The conferees declined to reveal the nature of the fcwored program, and the Mayor issued the following statement: "The tax conference will meet again tomorrow noon with the Mayor, The Board of Estimate in all likelihood will hold a public meeting Wednesday at noon." The Aldermen, of whom 10 of the 12 are Democrats, agreed to "go along with the Mayor," according to Alderman Edward W. Curley, and allow the latter to accept full responsibility for the program.

Unless a program acceptable to the bankers as a proper basis for advancing relief loans to the city is agreed on today, it is virtually certain that relief payments will be suspended tomorrow. The municipal relief cupboard is bare and Controller McGoldrick has served warning that he will not divert any more funds for relief purposes. Bosses Jittery The understanding is that the Democratic county bosses, jittery at the prospect of being saddled with the responsibility for further tax measures at a later date, have given the Democratic Aldermen explicit instructions to go along with the sales tax proposal. If the Mayor accepts such a levy, which would unquestionably assure its adoption because of his majority support in the Board of Estimate, he may, it is believed, counter with a proposal for an increase in the utility tax to complete the program. The best estimates place the sales tax yield at approximately $40,000, 000 through the close of next year and the increased utility levy at slightly under $20,000,000.

At least one thing was a dead cer tainty as the Joint committee of the two boards went into their huddle today the widely agitated transpor tation tax is out. Neither side wants it and neither side has any lntea tior of giving it a tumble. It was also virtually certain that both sides would keep hands off a payroll tax.
