KUHN CHARGES
AMPLIFlED
Testimony to Committee
Shows High Power of
Nazi Agents
By MACK JOHNSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80. iTIP)
Testimony that Fritz Kuhn, Ger
man-American bund leader, WAS
the big brain" behind the Ger
man diplomatic service in the
United States by especial arrange
ment" with Chancellor Adolf Hit
Ter, was given to the house COM
mittce investigating un-Amerlcan
activities today.
John G. Metcalfc, former Chi
cago ncwspaperman who became
special committee investigator,
made the allegation in support OF
his previous testimony that the
Berlin government is directing
bund activities in this country, IN
Guiding widespread propaganda
and plan to establish vast
spy" and sabotage" network If
there is war.
Mctcalfe, who COINED" the
bund to learn its "inSidc work
ings" testified that Kuhn told him
on August IL, 1897, in New York
that there is a "sccrct relation
ship" between the German merI-
can group and DR.. Hans Helm
rich Dieckhoff, the German am
baSsadOr.
He quoted Kuhn as saying:
"You see, | have certain Spc-
cial arrangement with Hitler and
Germany that whenever any of
our groups have trouble with the
consulates in their districts, they
are to report it to me in full de
tail. ! then take it up with the
ambassador.
Germany is not to be troubled
with it unless | get no satlsfac-
ton from the ambassador. That IS
exactly why there is new am
basSador to the United States, and
that is exactly why many conSulS
have been, and are still, beng re-
moved. All the new cOnSulS are
national socialists and are under
special instructions to give Us the
fullest cooperation.
DR.. Dicckhoff succeeded Hans
Luther as ambassador to the
United States. The German en-
bassy, however, ignored Metcalfr's
testimony.
Metcalfc introduced newspaper
clippings dated last August Is in
which Gustave Brand, Chicago
city treasurer, was quoted as say
ing that a DR.. Bacr, German con-
sui there, told him that the Ger
man government docs not APP
prove or endorse bunds or any
other organizations paradlng
around the country"
He introduced an affidavit by
Frank DAWN asserting that Brand
: attempted to get him to undertake
publicity job for "a consider
able sum" to combat anti-Nazi
propaganda but that he refused
because he does not favor ANY
foreign isms."
Mctcalfe detailed various in
stances when German cOnsuls
"unfricndly to the bund" alleged
| ly were replaced by the types
members want everywhere" to
show the purported hnk-up be-
tween Berlin authorities and or
carnations here.
"Consuls Of no other nation
stationed in this country have
ever assumed such an invasion Of
! liberties enjoyed by American cit
! liens and guaranteed them by
their constitution" Metcalfc said.
