DIES ALARMED"
BY RADICALS IN.
SERVICE OF U. s..
Sensational Evidence
Given in Secret

| G.N.SO Chairman Martin Dies.
Of the House committee investigat.
ing un-American activities, today
announced that secret hearings at
which testimony by Government
employees was heard, had con-
WINGED him that there is IAN alarm
ing situation" within the Federal
Government.
He said that the testimony tax
en- behind closed doors Saturday
showed that "a group of radicals"
employed by the Administration
were using Government machinery
and Government publications "for
the purpose of disseminating class
hatred"
ASSAILS SAPOSS
Dies again referred to an article
purportedly written by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Boards
chief economist. David Saposs, and
declared that SaposS is symbolic
of a number of Government Off
cials-economic crackpots rang
ing from Socialists to outright
Communists who have been drawn
to Washington by people within
the Administration"
According to the committee,
Saposs, writing for Labor Age in
December, 1881, assailed capital
ism, declared bourgeois democ-
racy a sham" and urged the
workers to resort to force.
Dies said:
The testimony of these gov
eminent employees who appeared
before the committee Saturday
will eventually be made public
although We shall keep their
names secret for their own pro-
lection. 1t carries out the
philosophy Of men like Mr.. Sa-
poSS who have no right on the
government pay roll and who
draw their pay from a form of
government they oppose.
CONTINUE DIGGING
II do not know how far the |
committee will go, but we are |
going to undertake from time 4
to time to expose as many of
these people as possible"
Referring to the article by
Saposs, he declared I'VE were cor
rect in asserting the excerpts from
the article were expressions of Mr..
SapoSs' personal opinion, and not
objective reporting as he claimed.
Dies contended that SapoSs had
made similar expressions of per-
sonal opinion in his book Left
wing Unionism," which, accord
ing to testimony previously re-
ceived by the committee, is now
being used as a text book in Com
muniSt workers schools in New
York city.

ADVERTIsEMENT
A Three Days Cough
Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irrt-
tation, you may get relief now with
Circumcision. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy
less potent than Circumcision, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and aids nature to Soothe and heal
the infamed mucous membranes
and to loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm.
Even If other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained. Circumcision is one
word, ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion,
and you'll get the genuine product
and the relief you want.

Always eager and happy to
help out a brother, the Press
Club presented Mr.. Roosevelt
with a cigarette case on which
was engraved his membership
certificate. Practical helpful
ness of the gift is that by using
a case for his cigarettes, the
President can now stop worry
ing about making an uncon-
scious display of his brand of
smokes when photographers are
doing their duty.
And always suspicious about
possible competition, some OF
the ever-loving brother members
