Deportation likely against Hanns Eisler observed by House panel
Washington noted the House Committee on Un American Activities probably will recommend deportation for German-born composer Hanns Eisler as it nears the end of its inquiry into his entry to the United States. Chairman J Parnell Thomas said testimony conflicts with Eisler's prior statements and admissions. The committee will seek evidence from immigration and State Dept figures to show pressure from Washington to permit Eisler to stay. Political figures and correspondence cited include Eleanor Roosevelt, Sumner Welles, and George Messersmith, with Eisler entering in 1949 after a visa dispute and appeals.
