Thinks League Members
Should Welcome Publicity,

To the Editor Of The Star:
The American League for Peace and
Democracy sounds like a mighty fine
thing to belong to, and no patriotic
American should object to having his
name published as a member thereof.
Then why the furore raised over the
action Of the Dies Committee in max
ing public the list of 563 Government
employees alleged to be on the member
ship and mailing list Of that noble or
ganization. If this writer was q mem

his name was published in the member.
ship list If thereby it exposed Commu-
mist members. The neighbors and CO.
workers of those mentioned can readily
determine whether or not they are 100
per cent Americans or whatnot.
This American Government Is now
spending two billion dollars per year for
national defense when the real danger
to our democracy is from within. The
Dies Committee is denounced for un-
covering the activities of subversive
groups bent on the destruction of our
dearly bought liberties, and has had no
cooperation from governmental sources
that should have. rendered every assist
ance and support.
District Attorney Dewey became the
leading popular choice for the nomina-
ton for President on the Republican
ticket because of his success in the prose-
cution and conviction of q bunch of
gangsters, while little but abuse is heaped
on the head of Representative Dies for
his transcendental service in exposing
the attackers Of the very foundations of
the Republic. ALBERT 8. BROWN.

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Congratulations to Representative Dies
for his fine work in the investigation and
exposition of the American League for
Peace and Democracy. .
1t is plain to see that he has not openly
accused any Government Qfncial or en-
ploye of being Communist, but from the
howl set up by the publication Of their
names, wonder II the shoe does not 1T
some Of them.
Now we all know that there is no
harm whatever In Federal employees
joining IN organization for the preserva-
ton Of peace and democracy, nor should
there be any real harm in the publica-
ton Of the names Of its members, unless,

minds Of few.
More power to the Committee on Uu-
American Activities.
