 The committee has the facts to show that in one instance $75, ,000 was transmitted through Berlin bank to establish a Bund camp near Jersey City, N. J.
 THAT a large part of the under cover propaganda money from Germany was handled by Nazi officials in this country. Some of the evidence directly duplicates the Germany Embassy in Wash ington.
 THAT the Nazi hierarchy in Berlin has a secret fund ear- marked specifically for the mili- tary training of pro-Hitler Amer jeans and for financing propagan- da by public officials who are Nazi-minded. (
 THAT the Communists have been sending picked American Negroes to Russia, where they are elaborately entertained and then sent back to this country to pie ture the Soviet to their race as an economic fairyland.
 The committee has the names of the Negroes and the dates of their secret excursions to Russia. According to this evidence, they were shipped to France, then talk en into Russia without visas so as to make it appear that they re- mained in France all the time they were abroad.
 HOTEL STRIKE
 The big Capital hotel strike not only caused the White House Cor respondents to cancel their annual banquet to the President, but also .gave headaches to a lot of labor sensitive officials.
 Ninety-five Senators and Con- gressmen plus scores of other not ables were living in the thirteen hotels when the strike broke. Some, such as Senator Carter Glass, Senator J. Ham" Lewis, Representative Ralph Brewster of Maine and Representative Don- dero of Michigan had no qualms about walking through the picket lines. But others dashed madly about town looking for other liv- ing quarters. F. ',
 Senator Bob Wagner, author of the Labor Relations Act, checked out of his hotel, though he has lived there for years. So did Rep resentatives Franck Havener, who is planning to run for mayor of San Francisco this year with labor backing, and Vito Marcar1tonio. scrappy standard bearer of New York's American Labor Party.
 Another celebrity who refused to cross the picket line was Kath- arine Hepburn, famed movie star who was playing in the stage play "The Philadelphia Story" She left her hotel and went to a private home.
 Two amusing incidents of the strike were a telegram which labor constituents of Representative Ea- ton of California sent the enbat- tied AFL union, inquiring whether he was breaking the picket line: and the refusal of John R. Steel : man, head of the Labor Depart ment's Cancellation Division, who was trying to settle the strike, to move out of his struck hotel. CIO WINDFALL
 The hotel strike was windfall to the CIO, which was not in- volved, but put on a big demon stration of solidarity with the AFL strikers.
 The Washington local of the CIO United Shoe Workers volun- teered to repair free the shoes of pickets. while the CIO Union Council offered funds and pickets. Philip Murray and Sidney Hill- man. national CIO vice presidents, immediately left their hotels when they learned about the strike, Murray lugging his suitcase down four flights of stairs rather than call for a non-union bellboy and elevator operator.
 Hillman first discovered the strike at breakfast, when he mo- ticed that the head waiter was serving him.
 'To what do owe this hon.
 0r?" he asked.
 Told what had happened, Hill-
 man rose. Daid his bill and left.
