DR.. Won Lahr, a member of the
Nasi governments Propaganda Bu-
Eau, and is being distributed among
Germans here. Consisting wholly of
scurrilous biographies Of prominent
Jews, the book presents photo
graph Of each with the caption,
"Gone to His Due" in the case of
the dead, and Not Yet Hanged"
in the case of the living.
'This book gives the names of
some leading Jews and there rea-
sons why they should be executed"
Gavreau declared.
They've got Mr.. Einstefa here"
Dickstein put in. What did they
want from Einstein-?"
According to this book Professor
Einstein is called "Unhanged." Ga
vreau said the Won Lair book con-
tains photographs Of Karl Marx, the
banker Otto Kahn, and Professor
Max Warhurg, brother Of the Amer
lean financier, Felix Warburg.
Unwilling to Meet Hathaway
Gavreau's reference to drawing
American Congressman into the
Nazi movement in America came in
response to a question.
"In your opinion, what can Ger
many expect from all this activity
in the United States?" asked Rep
resentative James ], Lanzetta OF
New York, a member of the COM
mittee.
They might eventually collect a
few Congressman" said Gavreau.
Fish was asked by the Daily
Worker, following his testimony,
whether he would appear per-
sonaily again before the commit
tee if Hathaway should be re-
called to produce the documentary
evidence of Fish's connections
with Nazis.
ST cannot be bothered with
that" he answered.
81 cannot be bothered to come
all the way from New York" Dick
stein, answered when asked by the
Daily Worker whether he would
recall Hathaway to answer Fish's
denial. II cannot answer that now"
Dickstein said.
In introducing Fish, Dickstein
made a point Of not mentioning
Hathaway's name or the substance
OF his Nazi exposure testimony.
I'VE have our honored colleague
Mr.. Hamilton Fish, Jr., about whom
some reference was made by some
witness about two weeks ago., he said
Fish then launched his combination
denial, denagogic, and anti-Con-
munist TRADE.
i wish to deny statement made
by some leading member of the
Communist Party that I attended
some Nazi meeting with a certain
SpanknoebeI at the George Wash
ington Hotel in New York City. The
fact Is that i have never attended
Nazi meeting, that am very much
opposed to their propaganda In the
United States, that I do not know
and have never seen Mr.. Span
knoebei, and that 1 have never been
In the George Washington Hotel.
Il wish to commend your commit
tee, which has come In for much criti-
cism, whether or not the actions of
your committee are ultra wires with
legal infiuence). There is no more
room in the United States for Nazi
propaganda than there Is for Fascist
or Communist propaganda. They are
all aimed against our republican form
OF government. Therefore, it is the
duty Of this committee to investigate
the facts and to attempt to prevent
such propaganda and nip 1t in the
bud. I am inclined to think that by
your exposure Of SpanknoebeI you
have already gone a long way.
Mr.. Hathaway, one of the half
dozen leading Communists in the
United States, said before this COM
mittee that Mr.. z. would testify that
/ was at the George Washington
Hotel. I am here to find out whether
Mr.. z. can prove it,"
Dickstein attempted to calm down
and reassure Fish. Nov, don't be
alarmed. We are just trying to get
the facts on Nazi propaganda, you
in investigating committees"
But even that couldn't restrain the
inin1itable Ham Fish. He characterized
Hathaway's testimony as a typical
Communist propaganda stunt" and he
added, II am opposed to any one,
Jews or otherwise, who stand for Rus
sian Communism"
That is the main ISSUE" interpoSed
Dickstein
and will go farther and say that
your committee has done a good Job
in exposing Mr.. Spanknoebel." NO
body reminded Ham Fish, what the
world knows, that 1t is the Daily
Worker that exposed the terrorist
Spanknoebel.
Charles J. Wagner, literary editor
Of the Mirror, assigned to investigate
Nazi propaganda, testified that DR..
Hans Luther, German Ambassador to
the United States, refused to address
German Madison Square meeting to
be held next week unless the swastika
is displayed. He also informed the
committee that the Nazis are organ
lied in every state In the union, par
ticularly in New York, Illinois and
California"
Where were you born2" asked
Judge John H. Kerr of North Carolina
a member Of the committee.
I'm New York City" replied wag-
ner.
"Jew?" inquired Kerr.
