Eaton Subpoenaed To Testify On Remarks
The House Un American Activities Committee subpoenas Cyrus S Eaton to testify after his remarks against internal security agencies. Eaton said he will appear willingly. Committee staff director Richard Avens said the subpoena was issued to Eaton as a witness at an appropriate time. Avens insisted Eaton is not a Communist but accused his remarks of aiding Communist propaganda. He noted Eaton’s May 4 ABC TV interview alleging the FBI snoops and helps turn the U S into a police state. Walter seeks equal TV time for a committee response, which ABC granted. Avens said the propaganda machine uses Eaton’s statements against the U S security system. He defended the FBI as a force under the President and Congress.
