tries.
Senator Dickinson referred to
Stephen Raushenbush, chief In
vestigator of the Senate mum
tons committee. charging him
with "boring from within the
Government" in an effort to So
cialize American industry.
He revealed Mr.. RauShenbuSh
had written q book, urging col
lege students to train for the
Government service. starting in
minor positions, and declaring
such students within 10 years
would secure definite Govern
ment control over trusts, banks
and general industries.
Collision Charged
The Iowa Senator pointed out
Mr.. Raushenbush> favored "aboli-
ton of private profits" and that
the munitions committees report
appealed for. legislation to limit
the profits of private Shipyards
and to place them under Federal
regulation. The report also
charged "collusion" by private
shipyards on Government con-
tracts.
Senator Dickinson focused on
Mr.. Raushenbush during a gen.
eral assault upon "SocialiStic
trends" of the Roosevelt New
Deal" DR.. Rexford Guy Tugwell,
Undersecretary of Agriculture,
Donald r. Richberg, former head
Of NRA. and the Governments
subsistence homestead schemes
were savagely flayed by Senator
Dickinson. He said:
II have every sympathy with
the good work the munitions
committee has been doing, but
in reading his (RaushenbuSh's)
report, 1 believe we should have
the background of this man."
ASSAULT FROM WITHIN
Declaring the "Socialistic trend"
Of the New Deal is evidenced by
various types of legislation, SEN
ator Dickinson continued:
TT is my belief that. there is
o great deal of boring from

Nov I am going to refer to
one further thing and that is
the suggestion that a man in
. position where he gets con-
fidential information may be
able to carry on without the
Government knowing very much
what his motives are, and in
that way he can secure infOr-

permit him TO- further q plan of
