DIESCOMMITTEE
 BACKED IN HOUSE

Washington, Feb. 3-(UP)-The house, after a tumultuous session, voted overwhelmingly today to con- tinue for another year the contro- versial Investigation of American activities.
 The vote to continue the inquiry was announced as 344 for and 35 against.
 The vote was personal victory for the chairman of the investigat- ing committee, Rep. Martin Dies, D.. Tex. He told the house amid bursts of applause and yells of appreciation that every radical group in the country and some government offi- cials had sought to sabotage the in- quiry.
 Republicans voted solidiy for the Dies committees continuance. and most Democrats joined them.
 Republican Leader Joseph Martin Mass. forced a roll call vote on final passage in a move to put lon the recordv the Democrats, some of whom had complained that the com mittee "smeared" the administra- ton. President Roosevelt himself rebuked the committees procedure as itself "unAmerican."

Rena Mooney Says Tom Is Seeking Separation,
 But She Refuses

San Francisco, Feb. 3-tUP)- Rcna Mooney said today Tom Mooney wants to divorce her but I won't let him after all the years I've fought to get him out of pris- on."
 I've spent the best years Of my life for Tom," Mrs. Mooney said. He can't discard me now. I'll go right into court and fight his ef- forts to the last ditch"
 Mooney, in seclusion in San Francisco hotel, refused to see re- porters.
 Two weeks ago in Los Angeles he branded rumors of an impending separation as lying statements by my enemies in an attempt to dis credit me"
 Reason She Gives
 Mrs. Mooney said the only reason she revealed her husbands inten- ton was because somebody threat ened to take me off relief now that Tom was out of prison and could support me"
 Tom hasn't given me dime, she said. Through all the years he was in San Quentin supported myself giving music lessons. And every cent could spare above bare necessities went for Tom-for the fight to get him out"
 Mooney, famous labor prisoner jailed for the San Francisco pre- paredness day bombing two decades ago, finally was pardoned by Gov ernor Culbert Olson last month.
 Mrs. Mooney said she was now on relief-getting $85 month as copy ist for the Federal Music project.
