BIZ the Associated Press.


The House Rules Committee today
approved a resolution by Representa-
tive Dies, Democrat, of Texas for q
congressional investigation OF "un-
American propaganda activities in
the United States"
Chairman Dickstein of the 1mmi-
grafton Committee said the inquiry,
which would be conducted by seven
House members, was necessary to
prevent riots and bloodshed."
There is going to be another riot
next week." he said. They are going
to have a parade Of 100000 Nazis
opening up Camp siegfried, in Long
Island.
"A group Of Legionnaires came to
me yesterday and said they were
ready to take the law in their own
hands because they say these Nazis
can't goosestep and He'll Hitler and
carry on with swastikas."

Holding up a photostatic COPY of
what he said was a secret record OF
Fritz Kuhn, head OF the German
American Bund, Representative Dick
stein said it showed the location of
81 Nazi camps in the United States
that were paid for by foreign money.
These Nazi organizations cannot
operate without money" he shouted at
the committee hearing, and that
money is coming in from Germany"
He said Nazi agents had sent a mil
lion war draft forms to men of Ger
man blood in the United States and
that Nazis and Fascists in America
had combined for espionage and the
destruction of democracy"
Communism is not SO DANGEROUS as
fascism and nazism at this point, Mr..
Dickstein added. because the Commu-
mist party has only $4,000 members
and the bund has 100000, including
youths.
Big Donations Claimed.
4 favor setting up an investigation
that would run them out of the coun-
try" remarked Representative Cox,
Democrat, of Georgia.
Suppose tell you," Mr.. Dickstein
asserted, that 20 big industries in
this country have contributed money
to the Nazi cause because they have
interests in Germany. 1t runs into
six figures. One gave $4,000"
Chairman O'Connor of the Rules
Committee said he had received many
letters from Mr.. Kuhn saying he
would welcome an investigation.
A similar resolution, with more
emphasis on the Nazis, was tabled by
the House two years ago. Representa-
tive Dies said his resolution would
provide for investigation of all SUBJ
versive and un-American influences
either foreign or domestic in origin.

While rescue squads searched I'M
derground for trapped victims, Capt.

mines, informed the House of Com
mons Of the disaster, which is one
OF the greatest in England's history
Through grim coincidence, the ques-
ton Of danger from explosions in
mines was up before Commons as a
result Of Ellis Smith, Laborite, asking
what was being done to prevent repi-
tttion Of such blasts as the one last
July at the Brympo coal mine at
Stoke-on-Trent, when ~ miners lost
their lives.
Sobbing women gathered around the
pithead as the dead and injured were
brought to the surface. Scenes were
particularly grievous in the little NOR
tuary, where wives and relatives
sought to identify the bodies, marked
by yellow tags.
Scores of rescuers. stripped to the
waist fought through roof falls to-
ward the trapped men. Police broad
cast a call for oxygen.
Rescuers, with gas masks. sealed up
one section Of the pit to prevent gas
from seeping through to the trapped
miners.
The second explosion occurred
shortly after 8 am. while injured
from the first blast were being brought
out
The first blast occurred about 6
am.
The colliery is one of three owned
by the Stavely Coal Iron Co. An ex-
plosion in one of the mines in Janu.
airy, 1887, killed nine men.

Dewey'S two main difficulties
as the trial gets under way, is the
character Of the witnesses for the
State, some of whom have crimi-
nal records and others Of whom
are of very low repute, and also
the fact of Hines widespread
popularity over a long period of
years.
1t is said, and probably with
truth, that no Tammany leader
has done so many favors for so
many people as Hines.

Of what is certain to prove the
most sensational trial in many
years, a tense and fighting atmo-
sphere hangs over the courtroom

One of the first acts of Daniel
Fahey, jr., 31-year-old Nationa.
Parks Service official, following
his escape from kidnapers near
st. Paul, Mimi, Saturday night,
was to write a letter to his mother
in Washington.
Mrs. Katherine D. Fahey, Of
1850 Connecticut Ave. N. w. re-
ceived the letter this morning
soon after she learned the two
ex-convicts who kidnapped her son
and Miss Peggy Cross. %, ST..
Louis society girl, had oeen cap
tured.
JOKED ABOUT IT
"He made light of the Incl
dent apparently trying to keep
me from worrying" Mrs. Fahey
said. He jokingly wrote that he
thought kidnapping was reserved
only for celebrities and he could
not imagine how he happened to
become victim.
Daniel said both he and his
companion were unhurt. He had
known Miss Cross for only a
week and he had escorted her to
the opera the night they were
kidnapped

Fahey was transferred to st.
Louis two years ago to supervise
