Breach Closed
Even more startling was the
revelation that the breach be-
tween the Administration and the
Dies committee has been closed,
for in the past there has been bit
terness over some of the charges
made before the committee, and
official SpokeSmen for the Ad-
ministration have been sharp in
their criticism of the methods of
the Texas Congressman who heads
the investigating committee.

Cancelled Addresses
Only a few days ago this ad,
dress was suddenly cancelled, with
no explanation given. But in
view of today's announcement
from the White House. it was be
lieved likely that the speech was
cancelled on orders from higher
up"
At his conference the President
denied that he had any part in
efforts to block the Dies commit
tee from obtaining funds to con,
tinue its investigation.
This gave rise to the belief that
the committee will continue its
work, and that it will work in co
operation with the Department OF
Justice in continuing the investi
