NEW YORK.-Revelations
In Washington yesterday that
Carl Byoir and Associates, 10
E. 14th St., were paid public
ity agents of the Nazi gov
eminent hired to disseminate
anti-semitic propaganda in the
United States, recalled the fact that
Carl Byoir was associated with
Matthew Vol, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, in
publicizing the recent Presidential
Balls throughout the country in
honor of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In Washington yesterday Carl
A. Dickey, one of Byoir's press
agents testified that the firm had
received S1O8,O from the German
Federal Railways as payment for
their Hitherto propaganda in the
United States. The sum Of four
thousand dollars in cash was
paid the firm, Dickey testified, by
DR.. otto Kiep, at the time Ger
man Consul General i'll New York.
On Monday witnesses testified
that Hans Luther, German Ambas-
sador in the United States, had
personally paid for Nazi propaganda
her..
Author of Presidential Ball Ballyhoo
1t was Byoir who conceived the
idea of the Presidential Balls as
ballyhoo stunt for the New Deal"
program. This project met with the
greatest enthusiasm among A. F. Of
L. leaders, particularly Vol, and
the latter worked hand-in-glove
with Byoir.
Byoir's role as a paid Nazi prop
agandist and his collaboration with
Vol is particularly interesting in
view of the bombastic displays of
oratory at the recent convention of
the A. F. of L. when William Green
and other A. F. of L. leaders en-
gagged in verbal attacks against the
Nazi governments, and urged adop-
ton of a resolution calling for boy
colt of German goods.
Besides working with Matthew
VOL and others in preparing publ
city for the Presidential Balls,
Byoirs has served the bloody butcher
Machado who was recently driven
from Cuba by the revolutionary
workers on the island; he aided
Machado as an advisor" while
publisher Of the Havana Evening
Telegram and the Havana Post.
During the imperialist war he served
as associate chairman in George
Creels Committee on Public Infor-
nation, Woodrow wilson's war
propaganda machine,
Creel, until recently chairman of
the Regional Labor Board in Cali
fornia which helped break the
Imperial Valley strike, is now can
didate in the coming primaries for
governor of California.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and other
leaders of professional Jewish activ-
tiles yesterday asserted that Byoir,
Nazi propaganda, is Jew ''by race
and blood, by the definition used by
Hitler himself"
Used Ford Anti-Senitic Lies
At the same reports from Wash
ington announced that Henry Fords
anti-semitic campaign of several
years ago is being utilized by the
Nazi murder regime to whip up anti
semitic frenzy. At that time Ford

of Zion" and carried on a venomous
anti-semitic campaign in his paper,
1.-THE Dearborn Independent"
Ford's Office in Detroit, however,
declares that it has protested the
use Of this material to the German
government. The protest" is said
to have been transmitted by Harry

partment of the Ford Motor Com
pany and instigator of the Ford
