the House Committee on Un-Amer-
ican Activities.
Telegraphic word to this effect
was received by the committee this

would not be able to reach this
city by Monday, however, when the
committee has scheduled its first
open session on the whole grotesque
case.
Two others whose names have
entered the story and for whom
subpoenas have been authorized

man Of the Republican National
Committee, and Felix McWhirter,
indianapolis banker and treasurer
of the Republican State Commit
tee. In addition. James E. Camp

appeared to give testimony during
closed sessions of the past few days.

enort to mobilize resistance against

OF report" Mr.. Campbell sent out
on March l. This report said the
territory in which the minority
which it charges with plotting revo-
luton planned to strike included
eight OF the II United States ar
senals. The report also purported
to give in general detail" what were
said to be the military plans of the
alleged revolutionists group which

which it called the Red Army of
the World"
On March IA Gen. Moseley wrote
to Mr.. Campbell suggesting that
this report be shown to Gen. Malin
Craig, the Army's chief of staff.
Gen. Moseley's letter, as given bv
committee attaches, follows:
L was particularly interested in
the report of March l that YOU
sent me. 1t strikes me it would
be well to let Gen. Craig read that
report, but If sent it in to him,
I should like to be able to tell him
briefly and confidentially something
OF the source and probable reliabil-
ity of the information given. Would
there be any objection to this?"
Campbelrs Letter.
Mr.. Campbell wrote on March 16:
Now, relative to Gen. Craig, as
discussed with you in Atlanta, am
leaving this matter entirely to your
discretion. You know the source of
these CO. (army intelligence) re-
ports. You know the personnel
comprising the meetings cat the
New York Club, committee attaches
said, you know that subsequent
events have proven ever single
report correct.
"If Gen. Craig can be given this
in the utmost confidence so that it
does not reach the administration,
believe he should be so advised,
because a time may come when a
demurrer will have to be taken by
the Army. But in the event that
this information gets beyond him,
1t means the life of the operative
now situated within their center.
COMMITTEE attaches said a waiter
at the New York club was meant)
"My personal belief is that it
would be much better to discuss it
with the general personally upon
your next visit to Washington.
Give him the contents, but do not
give him copy of the report. 1t is
time that our high command knew
