the exact status of the Communis-
tic situation in this country"
There was no evidence to show
that Gen. Moseley ever did discuss
the subject with the chief of staff.
Files Seized in Raids.
Mr.. Hamiltons' name entered the
story when Chairman Dies said the
committee is in possession of corre-
spondence between Mr.. Campbell
and the Republican chairman, in
cluded in voluminous files which the
committee seized in simultaneous
raids upon the Campbell and Gilbert
offices in Kentucky and New York.
Mr.. Dies said yesterday the corre-
spondence included letters from Mr..
Campbell to Chairman Hamilton
saying the former was in possession
Of much information on subversive
activities, and asking that Mr.. Ham
ilton supply him with the member
ship of the National Committee for
addition to his mailing list. The
correspondence showed the list was
supplied, he added and that Mr.
Hamilton wrote to Mr.. Campbell
suggesting that the latter arrange
meeting and saying he would be
glad to see him.
Il want to ask Mr.. Hamilton, -
Representative Dies said, whether
there was any political purpose in
this"
Mr.. Hamilton said yesterday he
had no recollection of such corre-
spondence, but that his own files
show routine reply being made to
Mr.. Campbell as to thousands of
others, with the requested list of
names being furnished.
Documents Promised.
There was nothing in any letter
that Mr.. Campbell sent to our
headquarters which in any way
would indicate any anti-Semitic in
terest or activity" the chairman
said. IF there had been there
would have been no correspondence
on my part"
In communication to the COM
mittee today. Mr.. Hamilton said he
would appear before the committee
at its pleasure and would bring any
documents it desires.
Mr.. McWhirter, who was reported
to have written Mr.. Campbell to
ask if Alf NJ Landon, 1886 Re-
publican presidential nominee, and
other public figures were Jews, told
the Associated Press last night he
would answer committee subpoena
las any good citizen would" He
would make no comment on his al
legged writing activities.
A fourth person named within the
Moseley- Campbell Gilbert circle and
for whom a subpoena has been au-
thorized, George Deatherage of St.
Albans, w. Va, head of the knights
of the White Camellias," wired Mr..
Dies last night:
The revelations of your commit
tee given to the press yesterday are
simply wonderful and we marvel at
the courage that it took to follow
orders in spite of the upheaval in
Palestine. A committee has been
appointed to plant a pansy dedi-
Gated to you, and all the boys send

Mr.. Deatherage, whose organiza-

reported yesterday as saying he
would be happy to testify.
Committee agents also were re-
ported searching for the New York

more than 10000 miners are en-

Gov. A. B. Chandler ito protect all

The Federal Government also
stepped into the relief situation
here. Demands for food have in
creased to the acute" stake, Miss
Adeline Kell of the w. P. A. said.
Several carloads of food were en-
route to Harlan to meet the need.
Maj. Joe Burman, head of the
high partol, said at headquarters
in Frankfort men had been sta
toned at practically all bridges
leading into the State and on high
ways from Tennessee.
Maj. Burman said the action was
taken on information that Com

Mr.. Burman added:
These intend to create a dis
turbance and try to make the pub
lie believe the police are pushing
them around, and we are going to
question occupants of all suspicious
cars and politely keep such people
out"
The governor remarked that
troops in Harlan-there are about
1850 on duty in this area-would
run all the thugs out of there
and there are some tough ones, too. -
At Washington, Representative
Hoffman, Republican, of Michigan,
introduced resolution which would
require Attorney General Murphy
to advise Congress whether Harlan
County miners had been prevented
"forcibly" from working and, if so,
what the Department of Justice
planned to do about the situation.
Brien Mcmahon, assistant United
States Attorney General, who prose-
cuted the anti-labor conspiracy
cases at London last year involving
some of the operators and corpora
tions in the Harlan field, flew from
Washington to Kentucky.
Stopping at Louisville for brief
rest, Mr.. Mcmahon said
What I'm here for is to 60 down
to Harlan to observe, in a co-opera-
tive spirit, just what the conditions
are from the standpoint of civil
rights. And that means for all the
people.
1T doesn't mean whether the
non-union mems rights or the
union mems rights may be abridged.
1t means whether anybody's rights
are-operators,' whites Negroes,
union or non-union mems"
He emphasized that his function
would be chiefly that of an observer
and assistant conciliator and that
he was going to launch no investi-
cation of any formal kind or set up
an office. He said he planned to
see Gov. Chandler to discuss the
situation.

Foe Of Democracy

By the ASSOCIATED Press.
MANCHESTER, N. H., May s.
United States Senator Charles w.
Tobey, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire, said today the greatest menace
to a democratic form Of government
"lies in the fact that special priv
ilege and vested interests still infest
our place Of government"
While voicing his opinion that the
New Deal was ION the way out"
Senator Tobey told a gathering of
New Hampshire Republican women
that whether the New Deal or Re-
publican administration was In con-
troll, there will be on the job, all
the time, the vested interests of spe-
cial privilege. They are the real
enemies of the republic"
Giving an example" Of how he
alleged high officials acted to bring
themselves material gain at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers, the Senator
asserted:
"A high commandant of the
United States Navy, whose
name I will reveal at a more ap-
propriate time, formed a private
partnership and later wrote to an
aviation concern, which had sub
mitted bids to the Navy Department,
and indicated that the company
would gain by using his private part
nership firm as consulting engineer
at monthly retainer Of 81 500 and
500 for each days services with
other expenses at cost.
He ended the letter by saying the
above price would hold good only
If an agreed sum Of the stock Of
the bidding company was issued to
his partnership firm and advised
the aircraft concern that he would
arrange for 1t to receive from the
Government $75 5000 as financial aid

In Verbal Duel on

Scandal ord Corruption
Charges Are Hurled;
Iekes Named
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A bitter fight over creation of q
new national park in California de-
veloped in the House yesterday, with
two Representatives from that State
exchanging charges of scandal and
corruption.
For more than an hour the nearly
packed chamber sat hushed as Rep
resentative Gearhart, Republican, of
California accused Representative
Elliott, Democrat, of California of
plotting to destroy his reputation;
then broke into something ap-
preaching bedlam as the latter took
the floor to reply.
The principal issue was a $100
check which Representative Gear
hart said Mr.. Elliott had used as
basis for false rumors" against him
in the hopes of defeating the Gear
hart bill to establish the John Muir
Kings Canyon National Park.
Check Sent to Elliott.
The California Republican said the
check had been enormously mailed
to Mr.. Elliott by its sender, a Mrs.
Gertrude S. Achilles of Morgan Hill,
Calf, who had intended it for him.
Mr.. Elliott, he said, had the check
and a letter from Mrs. Achilles
photographed and then remailed to
him from California, meantime ask
ing the Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION to inquire why it had been
sent.
He accused Mr.. Elliott of exhibit
Ing the photographed copies In Cali
fornia with the representation ex-
pressed and implied that such
photostats constituted proof positive
of the base character and cheap
grating propensities of the Repre-
sentative of the 9th congressional
district of California"
Representative Gsarhart, who told
the House he had returned the

and what was behind it,"
Representative Elliott said he had
shown the Achilles check to eight
members of the House, an oflcial

House Public Lands Committee. He
added that while in California last
month he was asked to display his
copies of the check.
