TO INVESTIGATE POST.
Committee Takes Up Charges Against
Assistant Labor Secretary.


Assistant Labor Secretary.
BY Associated Press.
Washington. April e7,--Investiga-
ton Of Che conduct of Louis +. Post,
assistant secretary OF the depart
ment of labor, in the deportation
proceedings against radical aliens,
was begun today before the house
rules committee.
For months the fight on Mr.. Post
has been brewing in congressional
circles, but this investigation is the
first attempt at formal airing of
the charges made openly in the house
that the assistant secretary Is un-
duly friendly with enemies of the
American government. Altho the
resolution looks toward the possible
impeachment of Mr.. Post, the plan
of Chairman Campbell calls for the
committee to make a full investiga-
ton and, in event of an adverse
finding, to report resolution, to be
adopted only by the house. urging
the removal of the assistant secre-
tary.
Chairman Of the house immigra-
ton committee, Johnson was the first
witness at the investigation into Mr..
Posts conduct in handling warrants
for deportation of aliens. He was
followed by Representative Hoch, of
Kansas. whose resolution looking to
impeachment of the assistant is be-
fore the committee. Mr.. Post was
not present but was represented by
counsel.
Mr.. Johnson presented report
prepared by investigators which re-
viewed many score of deportation
proceedings in which Mr.. Post was
said to have Cancelled depoItations
recommended by immigration in
spectors. The cases, Mr.. johnson
said, were those of '.alien commun-
lists and anarchists.
THE report" said Mr.. Johnson,
showed the assistant secretary fol-
lowed "for time the opinion of
Secreary Wilson that membership in
the communist party was ground for
deportation but that he later changed
his mind and ordered many COM
munists freed by canceling war
rants"
Mr.. Johnson declared the public
is not seeing red without a reason
TT is seeing its laws violated by
public officials" he declared, "by
aliens who have contempt for this
government and who are here trying
to overthrow it and who are in
league with revolutionists thruout
the world no matter what they call
themselves or whether they contrib
ute dollars to the cause or throw
bombs for the cause
Neither these aliens or commune
lists are necessary in the United
States and congress should clean out
agents of those parties which en-
dorse their policies Personally
can not believe. that, Secretary Will,
son knows what boring from WITHIN
is going on in his department.
Representative Hoch declared his
resolution did not involve any pol
itica1 or partisan consideration but
he declared there should be show
down in situation which has be-
come intolerable."
