Earlier In the days committee
session, Chairman Dies displayed a

brey Williams, deputy w. P. A. ad-
ministrator, as saying he was mot
sure that class warfare is not all
right" Mr.. Dies commented:
"A most amazing statement. COM
ing from a Government oficial in a
high place"
Claims Corrobora ton.
Chairman Dies said the statement
merely corroborated what the COM
mittee had been trying to show
that some Government officials were
trying to achieve some objectives
by spreading class hatred"
Having called attention to the
clipping, Mr.. Dies turned the COM
mittee back to what he said was
evidence that Communists were &C
tive In a w. P. A. Writers Project
in New York City.
He placed in the record a letter
which he said described the situa-
ton as to Communism on the project,

a Mr. Lucas, then chairman Of the
American Writer'S Association. to
the national director of Federal
Writers projects in Washington.
Mr.. Sutcliffe said copies also went
to a Mr.. Ritter, in charge Of New
York projects, and to Harry L..
Hopkins, w. P. A. administrator.
Mr.. Sutcliffe, who was connected
with the project as photographer,
said no reply had been made to the
letter so far as he knew.
Seek Identity Of Witness.
The Dies group also was seeking
today to clear up the questioned
identity of one of its witnesses.

sian securities to some 1900 or
$500 Americans.
At present, Halpern said. he is
import manager of the Hanover
Sales Corp. of New York, which pur-
chases goods for the Spanish 10y
alists and imports merchandise
from them.
He answered with emphatic mega
tives all questions as to whether he
was 4 Communist, had attended
Communist unit meetings, believed
irNcommunism or used an alias.
Made Weekly Reports.

other witness, said that as secretary

Shack Near Grubb Road.
The shack at which last night S
arrest was made and which was be-
Ing covered" by both District and
Maryland detectives today is located
in a wooded section not far of
Grubb road, an extension of Beach
Drive, where Thursday nights
shooting took place.
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson,
who went to the place after receiv-
ing tip from a motor cycle police
man, said the shack contained
sleeping Accommodations and showed
signs Of having been lived in regu-
larly.
Information the detective chief
received from the motor cycle officer,
Pvt. Clark Coleman Of No. 8 pre-
cinct, apparently was the basis for
this statement late yesterday that
I'VE have something that looks good
and we hope it will pan out within
the next "a hours"
The inspector and other detectives
lay in wait at the shack until the
colored men appeared. He was taken
to headquarters along with the bull
lets and women's clothing.
Other Reports.
Another development overnight
was a report that two men were
seen in the front seat of an auto
mobile with a colored man COVER
ing" them from the tonneau with a
revolver. This incident was re-
ported last night at the intersec-
ton of Sixteenth street and the
East-West Highway, but up to
shortly before noon today no alb
ductions or anything that would
tie up with 1t had been reported.
Ballistics experts are checking to
determine whether the weapon used
by the sniper is of the same caliber
as the one used in the Staying of
one man and the wounding of
three other persons in the same Sec
ton five years ago.

DC. Episcopal Clergy
Protests Persecution
OF Reich Minorities
Germun Ambassador Gets
Letter Urging IdeoIs Of
Frederick the Greet

The Protestant Episcopal clergy
Of the Diocese of Washington have
protested to the German Ambas-
ador against the persecution of re-
ugious minorities in Germany.
A committee representing the
Washington clerics and including
Rev. DR.. Anson Phelps Stokes, Rev.
DR.. Oliver j. Hart and Rev. DR.. Will
liam S. Bishop yesterday sent to the
Ambassador letter reading, In part,
as follows:
I'VE fully sympathize with the
German people in the great diff
culties which faced them after the
treaty of Versailles and realize full
we'll that nerves have inevitably
been strained in carrying out nee
essary readjustments in national
life.
1--WE feel, however, that no con-
tingency can justify on the. part Of
people with Christian traditions
the signaling out for obloquy, perse-
cution and intense suffering men,
bers of a race to whom we owe the
Ol1 WAllSll oo 1lONAl Va
our own religion was based. We
wish that the German nation, to
whose citizens we owe much of our
own best cultural tradition, might
return in this matter to the ideals
of Frederick the Great, who allowed
complete freedom of worship to all
his subjects. We remember with
gratitude that it was his proud boast
that in Prussia every man could
seek salvation after his own fashion.
It seems to us incredible that ma
ton with Christian traditions should
by any conscious act of commission
or omission seem to deny the funda-
mental teachings of the Founder of
Christianity regarding Gods Father
hood of all mankind and human
brotherhood irrespective of race, re-
ligion or nationality"
