FIFTH COLUMN EVIDENCE

FIFTH COLUMN ENkUENCE
The Dies investigating committee
now has documentary evidence Of
Nazi fifth column operations in the
u. s. so explosive that its publica-
ton might lead to a complete rup-
ture of diplomatic relations with
Germany.
Because Of this the committee has
been nervously sitting on the load
Of dynamite, uncertain what to do.
It has consulted the state depart
ment, which is just as jittery itself.
In fact, even more so. The de-
pertinent foresees the inevitable ne
cessity Of demanding the recall of
number Of German diplomatic rep
resentatives, with certain retaliation
by Berlin by the ousting Of U. S.
officials. In the present delicate
state Of u. S.-Axis relations, the de-
partment doesn't want to run that
risk.
So on its urgent advice, the COM
mittee Is sitting tight and continu-
ing its secret probe Of the subversive
activities. The documentary evil
dence in the possession of the COM
mittee Is staggering. 1t definitely
establishes:
/. That the Nazi government is
directly supervising and financing a
nationwide fifth column campaign to
oppose and obstruct the defense pro-
gram, the U. S. governments for
eign policy and aid to Great Britain.
2. That this activity is being car
ried on through German consulates
and German-controlled papers, plus
propaganda agencies of various
kinds.
8. That Nazi consuls get detailed
instructions from Berlin through reg
ular short-wave broadcasts in code.
Column Fuehrer.
Suspected master mind of the Nazi
fifth column is DR.. Manfred Zapp,
head of the Trans-O Ocean News Serv-
ice, propaganda outfit with offices
in New York and Washington. Zapp
came to this country after being
booted out of South Africa by the
British government.
Two of the consuls implicated in
the evidence the committee has
turned over to the state department
are Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, at San
Francisco, and Herbert Scholz, at
Boston.
Scholz has been closely associat-
ed with Friedrich Ernst Auhaugen,
Nazi lecturer for 'The American
Fellowship Forum" who was seized
in Los Angeles recently as he was
attempting to board a ship for Ja-
pan. The committee is holding Au-
haugen as a key witness.
Other evidence in its possession
discloses the existence of secret
Fascist army in the U. S. running
into the thousands. Chief organizers
of this force have been the Ger
man-American Bund, the Ku Klux
Khan and other 'nationalistic"
groups.
