Chairman Dies testified in con-
nection with a resolution to con-
tinue the SPECIAL committee for a
year with a 100000 appropria-

agreed to give the resolution the
right Of way, with passage certain.
In his testimony, Dies said:
Members of Congress are
being flooded by Communist
literature against our COM
mittee.
ITO illustrate how far this
propaganda goes, show you a
pamphlet citing things that
never happened. 1t says we
accused Jane Addams and Helen

That is not true.

by the correspondent for Com

Il feel that the WPA cut as
an economy gesture is only a
gesture.
Thus Mrs. Roosevelt at her press
conference today expressed her
reaction to the congressional slash
in her husbands request for $875,.
100000 to carry the WPA relief
rolls to 100000.
She said she had received numer-
Gus requests to help in the fight
to keep relief rolls intact.
"CAN DO NOTHING"
IT wish" she said. that these
letters that come to me-Who
can do nothing-would be writ

right power"
She explained that President
Roosevelt would have the right to
ask Congress for additional money,
and it would then be up to Con
gress who had "the power" to in
crease the funds if they found it
necessary.
Touching on her recent visit to
Gallinger Hospital where she
found the facilities overcrowded,
she said she had received several
letters from out-of-toWn doctors
asking her to comment on instl-
tutions in their States.
The First Lady expressed her ap-
probation for the success Of the

crecy is no longer required after
an indictment has been reported.
He pointed out, however, that
other Federal Courts have later
ruled that the oath of secrecy i'm
posed on a grand jury is forever
inviolate."
Legal authorities took the view
that Justice Proctor's decision
today cannot be appealed, but
that the defense attorneys will
have to take some new line of at
tack.
It was the contention of the de-
fense, that to seek to have the
indictments quaShed, it would be
necessary for them to be given
the transcript of the investigation,
so they might attack the Govern
ments case piece by piece.
Charged Torpering
During the hearing on the de-
fense plea, Government attorneys
charged "tampering" with the
jury on the part Of the physi-
clans unoer indictment.
1t was alleged that not only did
the physicians write three letters
to the jury, arguing that no in
dictment be returned, but that
later he also visited members Of
the jury, pleading his own limo
cence and asking them to disclose
their reasons for returning the in
dictments.

of the best-known practitioners in

"Taft-for-President" clubs in vari-

Since he narrowly lost the gov
ernorship of New York to Gov H.
H. Lehman last November, Mr..
Dewey has been a bundle of en-
ergy. The days have been rare
that have not seen his name on
the front pages. And the publicity
he has attained has been of the
most favorable kind, measured by
a political yardstick.
, He has leaped from prosecution
to prosecution, from the subway
E, nickel theft scandal, to the uncov-
ering of Judge Martin T. Man
tons loans, which resulted in the
. judges signa tion from the
bench. Now he is currently en-
gagged in the re-trial of Tammany

Filtration with the New Deal or
any of its acts. He was one OF
the seven Senators to vote against

was his report to Chairman Hat

from then. an increasing number
of Republican seers believe that
the two names figuring most prom
inently in its deliberations over a
national ticket would be New

Ohio's new Senator, Robert A.
Taft.

publican sentiment in the matter
disclosed this to a degree that has
surprised some of the elders in the
party.
BOTH IDEAL CANDIDATES

polled more Republican votes in

with regard to the furtherance of
their respective candidates. in the
