OF the Communist Party, will be
chairman. Interest in the protest
demonstration is heightened by the
transfer of the Leipzig frame-up
trial to Berlin, where the defend
ants will be in serious danger of
lynch attacks by Nazi storm troop
erS.
Discussing plans for a proposed
investigation into Nazi spying in the
United States, Congressman Dick
stein said, referring to the Friends
of New Germany:
There is no doubt that such an
organization is functioning here
Dickstein told the Daily Worker.
lit is evident that many of these
people entered he country Illegally,
under some guise or other, in order
to avoid the entanglements of the
immigration authorities"
Enter As Consulate Attaches
While Dickstein would not commit
himself on this point, evidence exists
that many of the Nazi spies and
propagandists entered the country
presumably as attaches to the various
German consulates, but actually in
order to operate as Nazi spies and
propagandists.
Samuel Untermyer. who was men
toned twice in the letter sent by the
chief of the Friends of New Ger
many" to headquarters in Berlin,
yesterday said that he would make
a formal statement within a day
70 two, Immediately after the pub
LEGATION of the Daily Worker expose,
Untermyer said he would first have
to satisfy himself personally as to
the authenticity of the document"
Protests against murder plans of
the Nazih in the U. S. continued
to come to the Daily Worker yester-
day. Roger Baldwin, director of the
American Civil Liberties Union de-
clared that: -
"The Daily Worker is to be COM
mended for obtaining and pub
fishing the evidence of the lengths
to which the Nazis will go on
foreign soil in espionage and con-
spiracies for cruelty and murder.
1t is scathing commentary on
American policy that such criminal
conspiracies can be conducted on
our soil without government inter-
ference, while any alien may be
6eported merely for joining the
Communist Party. No better evid-
ence of the class nature of our gov
erment is needed"
Over the signature of Ella Winter,
its secretary, the American Commit
tee Against Fascist Oppression in
Germany, issued the following state
nent:--
I'VE have read with horror and
amazement the Daily Worker expose
OF letter written by w. Haag, Ad-
Jutant to Heinz Spanknoebel, Ma
tional leader of the Friends of New
Germany" revealing the vicious ac-
iviies carried on in the United States.
I'VE view with increasing alarm
the spread of pernicious fascist pro-
paganda in this country, and the or
ganization of secret societies created
for the purpose of undermining and
destroying liberal opinion. These or
danger.
1T is by publishing data revealing
such activity that this evil can, in a
measure, be icounteracted. We con-
graduate you on your alertness and
courage in publishing this letter"
Nation" Editor Dodges
Ernest Gruening, one Of the editors
of the Nation, liberal weekly, clum-
silly evaded Daily Worker reporter
who sought to get his opinion on the
antoi-Nazi disclosures The reporter
had talked to Gruening's secretary
in the morning, and the latter had
asked that the Daily" call later in
the day.
When the reporter phoned the
second time, the switchboard opera
tor informed her that Gruening's
wire was busy. The reporter waited
and was switched onto Gruening's
extension. When the liberal" editor
realized that he was talking to a
Daily Worker reporter, he immedia-
tely switched the call onto his Sec
rotary who informed the reporter
few moments later that Gruning
was out"
