Double Feature

All Hallow's eve found every Eu-

Adolf Hitler had 100000 men

But war hung in allegiance. For as
Russia swung so would the war, be-
cause every other European state
had declared its status, neutral with
leanings either toward Germany

the allies.

WASHINGTON. -. The long, and
sometimes wearisome, investigation
by the special house committee on
un-American activities, headed by
Rep. Martin Dies of Texas, has be-
gun to bear fruit. 1t is not yet
clear whether all of the fruit will be
good. But there surely is reason to
believe that, even with some of
that fruit slightly decayed, great
deal has been accomplished that will
be helpful in retaining America for
Americans.
! have feeling that when the
committees work finally is brought
to a close, most of us will have a
new perspective on the foreign in
f1uences that have been at work in
our midst. We will know more
about the "isms" that have been
transported to our shores and spread
among us under organization names
that are designed wholly to conceal
the purposes of controlling clique
which gains it's strength and its mon
ey, to a considerable extent, from
foreign lands.
For another thing, it is now evil
dent that whatever else the Dies
committee has done, it has disclosed
how thoroughly easy it is for few
rat-eyed, scheming foreigners to
feed upon American resources and
use our citizens to promote the ends
of dictatorship. Moreover, the testi-
mony thus far taken has shown how
these weasels operate, the methods
they use.
The testimony has brought out the
fact again that one of the simplest
things in the world is to "organize"
Americans. Some vague promises,
delivered with oratorical fervor; CT
tation of some wrongs and theories
for correcting them, stated only in
generalities, and a group of active
organizers, working for pay-that is
what you have to have to "organize"
in the United States. And the trag-
edy of it is that thousands of indi-
viduals will part with coin sfor this
great movement, or that one, with
out knowing that the leaders are
using the membership only for what
ever crooked purposes will serve
their own interests.

Activities of Nazis and
Communists in u. S. Revealed

The committee has been attacked,
threatened. Even President Roose-
welt characterized some of its oper-
atoms as "a sordid procedure.
Members of the groups whose his
tory and purposes have been laid
bare have shouted their heads off
about "unfairness," and injustice"
But I repeat, the Dies committee has
served a useful purpose and the
public should remember that the
stuck pig squeals the loudest.
Let us look back over the rec
ord. 1t shows that the German
American Bund" is a tool of the
Nazi leaders, if not directly of the
German government. 1t shows that
communists have been and are OPP
Grating in countless ''cells" in the
United States, and because of the
record the committee made, Earl
Browder, the boss communist in the
United States, is under indictment
charged with having forged pass
ports that enabled him to make
frequent trips to Russia without the
facts being known. 1t shows also
that there are numerous organize
tions in this country which are SIM
ply the catspaw of the communist
party of Russia. f
It appears there is more scandal,
more evidence of violation of law,
yet to come. Largely, because of the
committees exposures there prob
ably will be prosecutions of various
foreigners or officials of so-called
American organizations because
they have failed to comply with our
law. They have not registered with
the department of state showing
their connections with foreign gov
ernments or foreign groups.
In addition to all of these, the
committee has made CHASTITY ex-
pose of communists within the Of
fees of our own government. It
published the names of 563 persons,
on the government payroll, who are
members of the American League
for Peace and Democracy, with the
assertion that part of them, at least,

Rhodes Case Jury
Still DeadIocked
After Il Hours
Nine Men and Three
Women Ponder
Ex-Bonker's Fate

The jury debating the perjury
charge against Fred B. Rhodes
former president of the Fidelity
was deadlocked at l o'clock this aft
ernoon, 81 hours after getting the
case.
The nine men and three women
spent seven hours in fruitless dis
cussiOn after receiving the charge
from Justice Jesse C. Adkins at $50
yesterday afternoon; they then were
locked up for the night in the Con-
tinental Hotel.
They came back to the jury room
in District Court at 9 o'clock this
morning.
The jury received the case after
vigorous closing pleas by Assistant
United States Attorney John j.
Wilson, the prosecutor. and William
E. Leahy, who is associated with
William E. Richardson in the de-
tense.
Claims Falsity Known.
Mr.. Wilson emphasized that Mr..
Rhodes must have known that the
report to the Treasury to which he
swore on the condition of Fidelity
June 30, 1885. was false. because
he had admitted irregularities in
the accounting at the institution
which would have been reflected in
the statement
The Government charges that this
report understated liabilities by
$4,000 and allowed Fidelity to show
balance instead of deficit which
would have justified the controller
of the currency in closing the in
stitution. which was finally closed
year later.
Leahy Defends Bookkeeping.
Mr.. Leahy argued that the for
mer Fidelity president had no rea-
son to question the report for which
responsibility has been assumed by
Mrs. Ruth S. Horner, former as
sistant secretary and assistant
treaurer of Fidelity. He also de-
Tended the irregularities in book
keeping as necessary to keep the
institution in operation in the face
of fight by the controller to close
it.
Justice Adkins told the jury that
the defense must receive the benefit
of any reasonable doubt" and said
1.-The question you must decide is if
the defense honestly and in good
faith believed the statement TO the
pnntrn11orl u,oc fyI1o"
On two previous occasions Mr.
has been tried for forgery
in connection with the closing of the
institution, but the juries disagreed.
