Keller Gives Dies
Idea for Runninq
The Revolution
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Keller, Democrat,
Of Illinois circulated a facetious
resolution last night satirizing the
Dies Committee on n-American
Activities.
Saying the inquiry tends to make
many Americans "jittery" and that
"the jitters is a very un-American
disease" the resolution asserted the
country should be assured that
"nothin's really goin' to happen
from pending Red revolution by
116 followers of the Germany Nasty
Party"
Most every one knows, the docu-
ment said, tina: there is nothing to
reports of an offensive against the
United States Army and Navy "by
felonious assault, by the use of beau
teous damsels or otherwise"
Representative Keller proposed
that Chairman Dies challenge both
the "Nasties" and the Communists
to meet "in deadly encounter" and
that the House appropriate $50 for

permanent agency will be set
up and authorized to report on
the urgency and desirability of
the various types Of government
investment.
Investment for prosperity can
be made in a democracy.
I hear some people say, This
is all so complicated. There
are certain advantages in a die
tatorship. 1t gets rid of labor
trouble, of unemployment, of
wasted motion and Of having to
do your own thinking"
My answer is Yes, but it also
gets rid of some other things
which We Americans intend very
definitely to keep-and we still
intend to do our own thinking"
1t will cost us taxes and the
voluntary risk of capital to at
tairH some of the practical ad-
vantages which other forms of
government have acquired.
Dictatorship Costs Things
American People Will Never Pay.
Dictatorship, however, in
wolves costs which the American
people will never pay: The cost
of our spiritual values. The
cost of the blessed right Of
being able to say what we please.
The cost of freedom of religion.
The cost of seeing our capital
confiscated. The cost of being
cast into a concentration camp.
The cost of being afraid to walk
down the street with the wrong
neighbor. The cost of having our
children brought up not as free
and dignified human beings, but
as pawns nodded and enslaved
by machine.
If the avoidance of these costs
means taxes on my income; if
avoiding these costs means taxes
on my estate at death, 1 would
bear those taxes willingly as the
price of my breathing and my
children breathing the free air
OF a free country, as the price
of living and not a dead world.
Events abroad have made it
increasingly clear to the Ameri-
can people that dangers within
are less to be feared than dangers
from without. If therefore a
solution of this problem of idle
men and idle capital is the price
of preserving our liberty, no
formless selfish fears can stand
in our way.
Once I prophesied that this
generation Of Americans had a
rendezvous with destiny. That
prophecy comes true. To us
much is given; more is expected.
This generation will "nobly
save or meanly lose the last
best hope of earth - The way

The Seventy-sixth Congress is a
large body of men and women-531
Of them, mostly men, of whom a
great many are bald-headed.
There are more bald-headed Re-
publicans in the House than there
are bald-headed Democrats. yet
there are more bald-headed Demo-
Gratis in the Senate than there are
bare-pated Republicans. Bald
headed breakdown: House, 81; Sen

The boards are even-one for each
side. Senator Lewis of Illinois is
the Democrat, and his beard is red
or reddish. Representative Tinkham
of Massachusetts is the Republican
beard-bearer, and his beard is brown.
There are five women lawmakers
in the Congress-four in the House
and Senator Caraway on the other
side of the Capitol. Four of them
