EFFORT TO SPLIT

Barred BY DIES
Communism, FasCism
Said to Be Goal

U.N.S.) A definite movement
is under way to split the United
States along European political
lines-with citizens having a
choice between communism and
Chairman Martin Dies,
of the House committee inveSti,
eating un American activities,
said today.
This, Dies said, is clearly shown
by the hearings of his committee
and the attitude Of various groups
toward its investigation.
MAY GO TO DETROIT
"When we investigate COM
muniSm, we find that we on the
committee are asSailed as Fas-
cists or Nazis," said Dies. But
when we investigate fasciSm
or naziism, we are called friends
Of communism. This shows that
an effort is being made to di-
vide this country along Euro
pean lines to its political and
economic ideology."
The committee was in recess to-
day. awaiting availability of wit
nesSes to carry its nazi and fas
cist inquiry to conclusion. The
committee may open hearings in
Detroit to investigate communist,
Fascist and Nazi activities. Rep
resentative Mosier CD of Ohio
head of subcommittee, has
secretly gathered evidence pre-
paratory to a Detroit hearing.
ORGANIZATIONS CHECKED
Meantime, John C. Metcalfe
committee investigator, was under
instructions from Dies to seek to
determine whether more than 200
organizations in this country are
spreading Nazi or Fascist propa-
ganda.
1--WE have some Information
regarding some 200 organiza-
tions," said Dies. The informa-
ton, together with the material
they have sent out, shows that
some of them can be classed as
un-American.
I'VE will ask these organiza-
tions to supply us with list of
their financial contributors and
other information. If they are
not un-American, they will, I am
sure, reply promptly"
The committee, Dies saiu, lacks
q sufficient force of investigators
to examine the books of all sus-
pected organizations. He indicated
that he would make public the
names of organizations refusing
to voluntarily submit information.

SECRETARY BALKED
1t was back in 1924 when Sen
ator Norris determined he would
not stand for reelection, and he
called in his secretary and dictated
a telegram to his political allies,
telling them he was retiring from
political life.
The secretary, who did not want
to see him leave, looked at the
Senator and said:
Il am sorry, but cannot take
that dictation. It is after 5
O'Clock and I am through for
the day"
The Senator looked at her.

Very well. I will write 1t my.

CORRESPONDENT ACTED
Senator Norris wrote the tele-
gram, called a messenger boy and
dispatched the message. Just
about that time Paul Y. Anderson,
st. Louis newspaper correspond
ent, entered the office, and the
secretary told him what had hsp-
pened.
Without a word Anderson
dashed out of the office, overlook
the messenger and took the tele-
gram away from him.

ris was renominated, and later re-
elected and since then has played

 The statement indicated Harwood might even seek reelection when the new central committee meets here this month.
 Opponents Met In WaterburN
 The latest rumorS came as result of reported secret meeting of G. o. P. leaders at Waterbury earlier irl the week. Following the meet ing, William J. Pape, Waterbury publisher, announced his candidacy for governor, the first major can didacy declaration in the party.
 Forces opposing Harwood's leader ship, it was said, were blaming him for the lack of party activity and almost total absence of candidates to oppose the Democratic ticket headed by Gov. Wilbur L. Cross.
 But, Harwoods friends pointed out, many Republicans considered defeal of Governor Cross almost impos- sible and were hesitant about an noLncing candidates for any c. O P. state ticket positions.
 Harwood, as chairman, 1t was said, was in the unenviable position of being compromise leader, taking orders from no faction and thereby being open to criticism by various groups in the party.
 The name of former State Sen. Kenneth Y. Cramer.r Wethersfield. was being mentioned in connection witA the chairmanship.
