Dies Exonerates Tn e m
From COmmunism-But
Sec. Ickes, Perkins Scored

San Francisco, Aug. 21-(UP)-
Rep. Martin Dies, who says he is In
favor Of Secretary of Interior Har-
old L. Ickes and Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins being "driven"
from the cabinet unless they change
their attitude toward Trojan horse
organizations" returns east today.
IF these leaders in the govern
ment continue to lend aid and COM
fort to the enemy, I favor every
American driving them out of pub
lie Office" the chairman of the
House committee investigating I'M
American activities said last night
in an address to the national con-
vention of Exchange clubs.
Dies said that his committee had
found 100000 persons in the
United States belonged to Commu-
mist, Fascist or Nazi organizations.
The danger was not in their num-
bers, he said, but in the strategic
positions held by their leaders.
He absolved motion picture stars
Frederic March, James Cagney and
Humphrey Bogart of charges that
they were members Of the Com
munist party.
Dies announced last night, Short
ly after questioning Cagney, that
the actors and screen writer Phillip
Dunno "are not and never have
been" Communists or Communist
sympathizers. Cagney flew here
from Massachusetts, to testify.
Dies said he would report his
opinion to the full committee. He
wanted to make it plain, he said
that he had not accused the actors
of Communism; that had been done
by witnesses.
Nevertheless, he said, there are
numerous actors and screen people,
out of humane motives, who have
made contributions to and let their
names be used by certain organiza-
tons which the Dies committee has
unanimously found to be organized
under Communist leadership"

OFF TO START
Big Street Parade Heralds
Event-Diving Act Is
Big Event

The benefit bazaar Of the Water
bury lodge of Elks, scheduled to
start on Monday evening and the
start Of which was "rained out"
by Monday nights heavy showers
got underway last night In a most
auspicious fashion when a parade
was held by the lodge members in
the city's downtown area.
Hundreds of Waterburians looked
on as the brother Elks We'd with
each other to keep out Of step.
The parade which went away out"
to Stanley park constituted the
longest walk some of the brothers
have taken in a long time and there
was a big rush for the chairs and
tables when the marcherS returned
to the club.
Mayor Vincent A. Scully led the
parade, but was not bothered by
the long walk as he has done much
walking since he took office. With
the mayor at the head Of the pro-
cession was his secretary, John p.
Fitzmaurice, Harry Cashin, exalted
ruler of the local lodge, and Frank
j. Monaghan, chairman Of the
bazaar committee.
A large crowd was on hand for
the opening OF the bazaar, which
is one of the biggest of its kind ever
held in Waterbury, ana 1t is being
generally predicted that the affair,
which is being held for charity will
be one of the most successful ever
staged by the organization.
One of the features Of the bazaar
is Buster Gordon and his water
carnival. Every evening at 1890
Gordon will dive from 100 foot
ladder into six feet of water.

Citron's charges of persecution and
oppression in Germany were an
insult, and asked that all voters
of German descent support the Re-
publican candidate, B. j. Monkie-
wicz. Mr.. Monkiewicz was subse-
quently elected.
The Citron forces back the move
for his nomination by citing his
record as a Roosevelt supporter
through two terms of Congress, his
campaign against the Fifth Column
as early as 1887 his utterances
against religious persecution in
Mexico and Germany, and his sup
port of national defense programs
long before the present emergency.
Other candidates for the con-
gressman-at-large nomination are
Ely Culbertson, the bridge expert,
who makes his home in Ridgef1eld;
DR.. Frank Anastasio, of New Haven;
and Roy W. Hanna of Goshen.
The local Italian-American Demo-
cratic Club is seeking to have the
Waterbury delegates support DR..
Anastasio for the nomination.

A Hot Main
Dish Pie
BY DOROTHY GREIG

When mother would remark,
That's a dish to save for one of
my gadabout days." we know the
dish in question was a simple one
to prepare. On shopping days, club
days, church meeting days, one Of
her "gadabout" dishes was certain
to turn up for the evening meal.
And it's a good idea to keep in
mind a few extra easy dishes for
just such busy outside days. The hot
pie I am going to tell you about is
of that sort.
1t is hearty and satisfying with
hard-cooked eggs and salmon as its
mainstay and condensed clam chow
der soup for deeply flavorful sauce.
And 1t boasts superb cheese pastry
crust. When that crust is broken
into and the helpings lifted smoking
hot and savory, onto warmed plates
ah, my dears, here is food to be
relished.
You can save last minute prepa-
ration time by hard-cooking the eggs
at breakfast and also by working the
pastry and putting it to chill in the
refrigerator before you go out.
