This referred to a demonstration in San Francisco at a hearing of the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Hoover's claim that demonsti'ators were goaded by Communists, echoed by committee Chairman Francis E. Walter, was denied by a group of students involved. Riot chai-ges against of the student demonstrators were dismissed by Municipal Judge Albert A. Axelrod, who said they were merely trying to protest what they believed to be an undemocratic hearing. A-velrod added, "I am convinced they were not engaged in subversive activity." In his report to Rogers, Hoover said the FBI's activities in 1960 were highlighted by actions against Soviet espionage, as well as with important criminal arrests for Wdnapings and other major crimes.

'Dui-ing this period of grave international tension, America cannot afford to relax her internal defenses even momentarily," Hoover said. "FBI investigators during 1960 disclosed that an alarming number of Soviet and satellite diplo- mafic personnel have intelligence assignments in this country." He noted last sunmier two secretaries in the Soviet Embassy here were declared persona non grata and that two persons were arrested in October and pother in Novembw on spy chantcs. tern and obviously did not track it."

The tree, an 8-foot evergreen, was chopped down in Woodstock City Park, police said, by Richard Foumier. He admitted he cut down the tree after he heard a sad story from a girl friend. Police said he told them the girl's father was working only part time. There wasn't much money for gifts. Ihere wasn't much hope for having a Christmas tree.

Foumier, overcome with the Christmas spirit but short of cash, got tlie tree and set it up in the girl's living room. They decorated the tree and there was much joy in the girl's house. He didn't tell her where he got the tree. The girl was not identified. But park employes noticed the disappearance of the tree and after much investigation police arrested Foumier and charged him with malicious mischief.

Foumier, facing a poslble maximum penalty of a $500 fine and a year in jail, also faces spending C3iristmas in jail. He said Wednesday he has no hope of providing the $1,000 bond to gain his release before his case comes before the justice of the peace on Dec. 30. ways.
