Dies Unit Hears
BY the Associated Press.
Told that Nazi Germany intends
eventually to gobble up the United
States, the Dies Committee centered
its attention today on how this might
be brought about.
A committee representative said
"a well-known educator whose pro-
fessional standing and knowledge is
beyond dispute" would be called
Monday to testify concerning efforts
to introduce Nazi teachings in Amer
lean colleges. This source added
that the testimony would deal with
first-hand experience. but declined
to disclose the educators name.
The committee, which this week
resumed its inquiry into "un-Ameri-
can activities adjourned for the
week end after hearing plump Ger
man-born Helen Vooros of Brooklyn,
N. Y, testify yesterday that she was
taught" on visit to Germany that
the Nazi plan Of expansion embraced
a United States anschluss-like that
with Austria.
Miss Vooros, 19-year-old former
youth leader Of the German
can Bund, told story Of planned
German conquest in which educa-
ton played an important part.
Well-poised throughout long hours
of questioning, the dark-haired girl
came to her testimony of the plotted
American invasion after saying she
quit the bund because she was dis
gusted over immortality" among
bund members.
Annexing Of U. S. by 1859.
She was in Germany in 1888 with
group of outstanding bund youth
leaders, she said, when she learned
from German propaganda official
that the Hitler regime expected
the inflltration of Nazi-ism to bring
results in the United Safes in rs
or 20 years"
The German plan of action was
outlined by DIR. Axeman" of the
propaganda ministry, she added, in
speech delivered to the touring
American youths.
DIR. Axeman" said, she testified,
that Germany intended to get back
all the territory it had lost-DAslzig,
the Polish Corridor, Schleswig-
Holstein and the African colonies
then move through the Scandi-
navian countries.
With that vast territory conquered,
the United States would be next, she
quoted DR.. Axeman as saying.
They said they were leaving it up
to us, the bund. TO prepare the way"
the girl testified.
The bund was to open camps, to
buy property and to form German
settlements. Then, when Germany
offered to aid us, We can say that we
have a German majority and We
want to be part of Germany"
She wore her bund uniform during
this testimony.
Embassy Aids, Committee Told.
Also discussing NaI propaganda
John c. Metcalfe, a former commit
tee investigator, told the committee
the German Ministry of Propaganda
and Enlightenment. working through
the bund, was reaching out to in
clude within the Nazi sphere not only
German-Americans, but native
Americans and United States resi-
dents of other nationalities.
Mr.. Metcalfe, who joined the bund
to write about it for Chicago news
paper, said there was much evil
dence of cooperation" between the
bund and the German Embassy and
Consulates.
Miss Vooros said she was sent to
Germany in party of 30 German
American girls and boys for instruc-
ton in propagandizing the United
States for the Nazis. All expenses.
she added. were paid by the bund
and German agencies.
There were other things taught
too. she said, such as a lecture she
heard with other girls her age on
the sterilization of children born to
German girls by Jewish fathers.
A doctor, using charts told how
the operations were performed. This
information was given the German
American youths, Miss Vooros de-
clared, so it might some day be used
in the United States.
Other instruction.
Among the phases of her "instruc-
ton while in Germany, Miss Vooros
mentioned:
l. That Chancellor Hitler, speaking
at a netting she attended, pro-
claimed himself ''Fuehrer of all Ger
mans"
2. That in Germany Fritz Kuhn,
leader of the German American
Bund, is considered the United States
"Fuehrer."
3. That propaganda condemning
Jews. Catholics and Masons was dis
trlbuted to her group.

At the meeting at which Hitler
spoke. she testified, Joseph Goeb-

and enlightenment, smiled at her.
Did you smile back at him?" q
committee member inquired
Yes, did" she answered. Then,
after a pause:
