New York, Aug. 12.-Band leader, Artie Shaw, denied today the charge made by his estranged wife, novelist Kathleen Winsor, that he admitted being a Communist, and said that it was a "red herring" in the legal proceedings to dissolve their marriage.
In a statement made by Mr Shaw, he said: "I am not and have never been a Communist. As for Miss Winsor's statement that I said recently that I have joined the Communist Party, this is sheer unmitigated nonsense."
