WASHINGTON, March 26--In a thundorous scene, a Congressional committee ejected the General Secretary of the Communist Party from a hearing today and later heard FBI Chief Edgar Hoover denounce the Communists as a "fifth column."
Eugene Dennis was ousted by the Honso Committee on Un-American Activities because he refused to give any other name but Eugene Dennis. He also refused to tell where or when he was born.
Hoover testified: 1.

That he has "grave doubts" as to the wisdom of making martyrn out of Communists by outlawing them. Also, he said the law might later be ruled unconstitutional.
