ANNENBERG MUST ENTER JAIL SOON Petition For Clemency Denied And He Must Serve Three Year Sentence CHICAGO, July 17.—(tf)—M. L. Annenberg, who amassed a for tune in publishing, turf news and real estate ventures, learned to day that he must enter prison next week to begin serving a three year sentence for evading income taxes. His last hope for clemency van ished when federal judge James H. Wilkerson* denied his petition for probation and refused his request for a six weeks extension of his stay of execution. The jurist explained that his ac tion meant that the Philadelphia publisher would have to surrender next Monday to start his trip to a government penitentiary. Annenberg received news of the decision with an air of resigna tion and in a spirit of dejection. To a reporter who located him in a Gold Coast hotel, he stated: “I am going home to say good bye to my family. I am physically broken. I am going to do the best I can, if I live.” U. S. Marshal William n. Mc Donnell said that Annenberg would be taken to the federal prison in Lewisburg, Pa., unless the Depart ment of Justice designates some other institution. The prison bureau in Washington reported that it would not disclose the name of the institution selected because such announcements were contrary to custom, especially in widely pub licized cases. Court house attaches here said he could surrender here, or in Philadelphia or at the prison to which he was assigned if ar rangements were made beforehand. Judge Wilkerson sentenced An nenberg on July 1 on his plea of guilty to failure to pay $1,217,296 in taxes on his 1936 earnings. The admission was entered on one count of a six count indictment alleging evasion of $5,548,384 in levies, pen alties and interest on his 1932 to 36 income—the largest criminal tax case against an individual on gov ernment records. The prosecution agreed to dismiss all remaining charges. 2 Surgery Films Shown At Civitans Session Motion pictures on surgery were shown at the weekly luncheon ses sion of the Ciyitgn jiJub yesterday at the Cape Pear hotel.

RIVES BEAUMONT, Tex., July 17—(£>) —Hollywood’s film colony, the Dies committee was told today, has been a prime source of communist party revenue and recruiting. A list of 42 of the moving pic ture industry’s foremost figures— actors and actresses, writers, pro ducers and directors — was sub mitted by John L. Leech of Port land, Ore., who identified himself as an ousted member of the west coast communist of organization. Sixty per cent of those listed, he testified, were active party mem bers. Others assertedly contribut ed to the public but testimon is propaganda in ‘‘special study groups.” Chairman Martin Dies (D-Tex.) of the house committee investigat ing un-American activities, is con ducting the hearing as a one-man sub-committee. The hearing is clos ed to the public but testimon iys made public through committee spokesmen. Fmpany.f? shrdlu shrdlu shrdluc Committee sources said they wished to keep secret names of the Hollywood celebrities listed by Leech, although the names were placed in the committee’s official record. The Leech list, it was learned, included the names of movie queens and leading men, come dians and ace cameramen whose salaries run into four figures. Leech testified the communist party built its strength in Holly wood. by fostering a fear of anti semitism and naziism. Most of his testimony concerned activities of the years 1935 and 1936. Leech said he was expelled from the party in 1937. Film personalities donated $1, 200 to $1,500 each month into com munist coffers, Leech testified, these amounts not including special contributions and assessments. Chairman Dies recessed the hear ing until tomorrow after hearing another witness testify that a con federation of Spanish-speaking per sons in Texas and other parts of the* country was being formed to further Mexican interests in the U. S. Only Cooper Attends City Board Meeting The weekly meeting of the citj commissioners was a mere formality yesterday.

The annual report, of the Hous ing Authority of the City of Wil mington, entitled "Shelter Plus," is creating quite a stir. From Pat Healey, Jr., executive secretary of the North Carolina League of Municipalities the HACOW has received a letter in which he says, "I hasten to con gratulate you on the fine job of preparation and publication of this report. By being attractive, concise, brief and well illustrated it should appeal to a large part of the people and actually be read by a large number of citizens who would not ordinarily notice the usual dry, un attractive-appearing report, full of statistics which unfortunately is to often typical of those issued by pub lic agencies.” From the executive board of the American League of Municipalities, which is comprised of seven mem bers (one of whom is J. E. L. Wade) has come a request for five copies for each member and 10 copies to be sent to the secretary. A commendatory letter has also been received from R. L. McMillan, general counsel for the Raleigh Housing Authority, wlio terms it “good work; well done.” A few copies of the report are still available to the public and may be had by calling at the office of the HACOW or telephoning the of fice and requesting that it be mail ed.
