Greetings for Dr. Ernst Franz Sedgwick “Putzy” Hanfstaengl—some of them not of the sort calculated to add to his enjoyment of his visit to this country—were in course of preparation yesterday and today.

Outweighing all other developments was a report in yesterday’s World-Telegram that Hitler’s music maker will be met at the pier tomorrow with a subpoena to appear before the House committee investigating all Nazi activities in this country, to testify relative to the Black Tom explosion case in 1916 and Nazi propaganda.

An affidavit now in the State Department in Washington accuses Hanfstaengl of implication in the disaster, the newspaper said.

Hanfstaengl, graduated from Harvard in 1909, is now en route to this country aboard the Europa, ostensibly to attend the twenty-fifth anniversary reunion of his class.
