Dies Calls Upon
People to Decide
Committee Rights

WASHINGTON, April 6. tUP)-
Chairman Martin Dies of the house
unAmerican investigating commit
tee, embroiled in court battles
against the Communist party in
two cities. appealed to the Ameri
can people today to decide whether
his group has the right to seize
records of the Communist party.
The Communists have obtained
warrants from Federal Judge George
A Welsh of Philadelphia for the ar
rest of two committee investigators
who they charge, violated civil
liberties in seizing the party's rec
ords in a raid on their Philadelphia
headquarters.
IN formal comment on Judge
Welsh'S action, Dies said:
Judge Welsh has assigned his
reason or the issuance of the war
rants. his belief that the issue
should be passed upon by the high
er courts.
Il think that the entire question
as to whether or not agents of for
eign dictators who claim constitu-
tional rights and shrink constitu-
tional duties can legally conceal
from the congress and the Ameri-
can people their true names and
un-American activities, must be i'm
medately decided by the people OF
this country"

He declared that few residents
of the United States know much
about the land to the south and
pointed out that they cannot hope
to maintain the alignments of the
Monroe doctrine if they know SO
little about the peoples they have
made their allies.
The training OF young men for
the consular service" he said. "does
not fit them for the work they must
do in South America. They are
taught all about Europe and Asia
but if sent to South America are
usually ignorant of the residents,
customs. history. governments and
political alignmentS."
He urged a more widespread and
thorough inclusion of study of
South America in the courses of
study in the United States.

Winright Urges
increased Use
Of SiIage

Increased use of Silage to finish
livestock animals in the Imperial
Valley was urged by George Win
right, assistant county agent, al a
meeting of the Magnolia Mulberry
farm center Friday night.
Pointing out that farmers IN Other
sections use silage as a method of
finishing livestock despite tie fact
its cost mounts as high as S. 40 per
ton, Winright declared that valley
farmers could we'll afford to take
advantage of silage since the cost
of growing the crop in this "ounty
amounts to less than half the COS:
in other sections.
While pasture feeding is the cheap
est form of feeding, Winright laid
animals can not be finished well
enough to bring top prices in mar
ket. Silage offers the necessary fin g.
ish at a comparatively low cost.
InaSmuch as valley farmers Get
good yields on their silage crops,
Winright declared. there is no I'd
son 1t should not be used more.
