There Ought To Be a Standing"
Shannon agreed with Samuel
Dickstein, vice-chairman of the
committee, "that there ought to be
standing on un-American &C
tivities to which all bills dealing
with this subject will be referred
and which would work with the
Department Of Justice"
Dickstein repeated his now famil-
lar plea to 'penalize" the natural
lied or native-born citizen" engaged
in "subversive" activities, but Shan
non would not take a stand on the
native born" angle.
Col. John Thomas Taylor, legis-
latiVe representative Of the Amer
lean Legion and lieutenant colonel
(Reserves) in the Chemical War
fare Service, presented Homer
Schallaux, "the national director of
Americanism" for the Legion, and
DR.. Thomas H. Efealy, assistant
dean Of the Foreign Service School
of Georgetown University controlled
by the Catholic Church hierarchy
and chairman of the national de-
Tense committee OF the Legion.
Taylor did not take the stand.
Taylor is not going to speak," one
Of his associates informed your cor
respondent. "His job is to try and
put over the damn legislation"
Attacks Cannery Union
Schallaux, who lives at TIT North
Meriden Street, indianapolis, Ind,
told the Committee Of "the indus
trial unrest on the Pacific Coast
caused by Communist agitation. .
He attacked the Cannery and Agri-
cultural Workers Union as backed
by aliens" Ninety-f1ve per cent of
"those taking par in he Brawley,
Cal, Imperial Valley] strike were
aliens" he said. He added that
practically all the violence in the
Pacific Coast strike was carried on
by Communists" despite widely
published documentary proof of
police and employer thuggery and
the officially published Imperial
Valley report on the violation of
Constitutional rights of strikers by
the employers vigilantes.
George K. Brobeck, the legislative
representative of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the U. S., declared
that 1--WE have no gumshoe activ-
tiles because we believe that vet
Grams can attend to these things in
the open and by definite action"
He charged that the Veterans Ma
tional Rank and File Committee act
"as Communists" and recommended
Legislation enaced o make Com
munism illegal in this country 2:
the immediate deportation of alien
Communists; the closing of Com
munist summer camps for chill
dren";; the Finger printing and
photographing Of aliens" and "ex-
clusion of all aliens unil Americans
have had time to get employment. l."
You recommend this for the
native-born as we'll as the natural-

beck encouragingly.

Los Angeles Police Department on
Communists" No Committee men,
Der questioned Kleinberger about his
departments well known operations
on behalf of the various anti-union
employers organizations.
Wants More Laws
Commissioner Mccormack speak
ing officially for the Labor Depart
ment, virtually pleaded with the
committee to recommend the en-
actment Of more stringent laws so
that it will be easier to deport for
eign born labor leaders. At the
present time, he explained, he could
deport only for anarchism or over
throw of the Government, he de-
clared:
I'VE have tried to determine, with
out much success, to find to what
extent the alien is responsible for
labor disputes. We find that most
of the people in labor disputes are
American citizens"
He pointed out that sin San
Francisco 373 persons were arrested
as aliens. Each case was investi-
gated. Of the 373, 272 were proved
indisputably to be citizens. OF the
Ill aliens, IA were deported and of
that IA only was deported on rad
ical grounds"
This data is sufficient" Nc
Cormack continued, ITO raise in
the mind Of tie committee as to
whether we must grope for the
source of radical activity" Refer
ring to the employer and govern
ment raids during the West Coast
strike, participated in by the La
Dor Department., Mccormack de-
clared that "out of 448 persons ar
rested during the strike only l was
found to be deportable under the
existing law
