Dies Warns 'Murxism'
Threatens Liberty
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
BETHLEHEM, Pa, Nov. 25.-Rep-
resentative Martin Dies, Democrat,
of Texas, declared last night that
IF Marxism continues to grow,
America will lose its liberty and its
independence.
Speaking at the annual dinner of
the Bethlehem Chamber of Com
merce, Mr.. Dies, chairman of the
House committee investigating Un-
American activities, warned against
the Communist party, which uses
labor for its own political ends, and
labor leaders, who use labor for their
own selfish ends"
The laboring people themselves
must clean house." he warned.
They should demand that union
books be audited and that foreign
scoundrels be brought to justice"
Socialism or Communism in
theory is one thing, but in practice
it inevitably leads to Dictatorship
had rather live in squand poverty
than be the kept OK of dictator"

Mrs. Laurel Accused;
Perjury Probe Urged
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.-Illiana
Laurel, Russian singer and dancer,
who wants her divorce from Film
Comedian Stan Laurel set aside,
was up against prospective inves-
tigation today.
Superior Judge Joseph w. Vickers,
denying Mrs. Laureps petition to
set aside an interlocutory decree
granted the actor last May, said
sharply:
"The court believes this witness
has committed perjury and recon-
mends that the matter be investi-
gated by the district attorney and
that prosecution be carried out"
Mrs. Laurel charged that she
failed to contest the default divorce
because of fear of her husband, and
said she was not legally represented.
Attorneys testified, however, they
had served as good legal counsel.
Deputy District Attorney Bonner
Richardson said court records would
be studied before his office took any
action.

non grata at the White House and
that Mr.. Farley was incensed be-
cause of his treatment was made
shortly before Mr.. Farley went last
summer to Europe. Immediately
prior to his sailing, however, Mr..
Farley visited the President at Hyde
Park and had a long conference
with him. After that conference it
became known that Mr.. Farley was
well satisfied. Also, that Mr.. Farley
was to continue in the cabinet. And
SO the matter has stOod-although
now and then it is hinted here and
there in the public prints that the
lid will blow off, ard political gossip
continues to insist that sooner or
later-that is during the coming six
months-Mr. Farley will break with
the President over the third-term
issue, or over Paul V. McNutt or for
some other reason.
Break Incredible.
Mr.. Farley and the President,
however, have weathered many
storms together. 1t is incredible
that Mr.. Farley would desert the
President. Furthermore, the Presi-
dent has stuck to Mr. Farley for
many years and it seems equally
incredible that he will break with
him now.
The President has not been given
to making cabinet changes. Three
members of the cabinet have died
his first Secretary of the Treasury,
William H. Woodin of New York:
George Henry Dern, Secretary of
War, who hailed from Utah, and
Calude A. Swanson, of Virginia.
Secretary of the Navy. Two of
those posts the President filled. The
third he has so far left vacant,
although the late Secretary Swan
son died months ago Homer S.
Cummings of Connecticut, his first
Attorney General-appointed after
the late Senator Thomas Walsh of
Montana, to whom the cabinet
office had been promised, died-just
before the Presidents first inaugu-
ration, resigned nearly a year ago
and Frank Murphy of Michigan was
appointed in his place.
Navy Post Sought for Davies.
And now it is rumored that strings
are being pulled to have the Navy
portfolio go to Joseph E. Davies,
at present American Ambassador to
Belgium. Mr. Davies has been
strong supporter Of the President.
He is in position to do much for
the war chest of the Democratic
party in the coming national cam
paign. The Democrats are giving
the matter of campaign funds some
consideration-particularly in view
of the fact that the Hatch law is
likely to make it impossible for
drive among Federal employees for
campaign funds, although they are
at liberty to make voluntary con-
tributions if they wish.
Mr. Davies, his friends assert,
would fill the place Of Secretary of

Anacostia Citizens
Association Opposes
Grant Of Powers
Holds Authority Of
Commissioners Ample
Until D. c. Can Vote

Opposition to enlargement of the
powers of the Board of Commis-
sioners was voted last night by
the Anacostia Citizens Association,
which held that the present au-
thority of the body is sufficient until
District citizens are empowered to
elect members of the board.
William j. Tucker, secretary of
the association, who offered the
resolution, pointed out that the
move docs not criticize the Com
missioners, individually or generally" :"
but that it aims to prevent vesting
''too much" authority for the we'll
being and satisfaction of residents
of the District, such as might be
proposed in new local government
reorganization plan.
In the discussion, numerous de-
mands for general representation in
government were voiced and amend
ments to the original motion to
that effect were suggested. However,
Mr.. fuckers proposal was adopted
in divided vote.
Delegates to Hearing Named.
Robert j. Helmuth, president of
the group, was authorized to appoint
delegates to represent the associa-
ton before hearings on District Gov
ernment reorganizing to be held in
the near future Mr.. Tucker and
Frank Dent were chosen, but Mr..
Dent, who opposed the action rela-
tive to the Commissioners, refused
appointment.
The association opposed any in
crease in the gasoline tax for the
District and in the same resolution
reiterated a former stand against
diversion of gas tax income to the
general maintenance fund.
United States Attorney David A.
Pine was indorsed unanimously for
appointment on the bench of Dis
trict Court.
A proposal to take favorable action
on the plan to furnish natural gas
facilities throughout the Anacostia
area was referred to committee for
study and report at the next meet
ing. The association voted to dis
pense with the December meeting
due to the holiday season and au-
thorized the Executive Committee to
call meeting for any emergency
action.
Improvements Asked.
Street improvements were re-
quested for the following localities:
High street between Maple View
place and Valley place, Maple View
place between Chester and High
streets, the intersection of Four
teenth and v streets Sc.
