Committee Suspends
Further Open Probe
Of Pe|Iey Case
Dies Group to Make
Complete Study Of
Silver Shirt Evidence
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Somewhat perplexed over the de-
meanor of William Dudley Pelley,
the Silver Shirt leader, the Dies
Committee today suspended further
open hearings in favor of COM
plete study of all reported facts
about Mr.. Pelley's activities. Direct
questioning of Mr.. Pelley will re-
sumo when Acting Chairman Starnes
calls the committee to reconvene.
Mr.. Pelley, interspersing his testi-
mony with expressions of sympathy
with the purpose and work Of the
Dies Committee, said yesterday he
probably" would be running the
Federal Government today If his
organization had succeeded in its
purpose-to enlist sufficient support
to wipe out subversive elements in
the United States.
Favor's HitIer's Ideas.
If he had taken over the Govern
ment, Mr.. Pelley continued, he
probably" would have put into ef-
feet something resembling Adolf
Hitler's policies with respect to Jews,
although he said he did not indorse
Hitler's exact methods.
The committee spent more than
a little time yesterday choking off
Mr.. Pelley's protestations o. sup
port for its activities. He managed
to say at one point, however, that
his admiration was SO deep and
abiding that if the committee con-
tinues its work he would be willing
to fold up" the Silver Shirts and do
it with his blessing"
During a recess, one committee
man, half angry and half disgusted,
said Mr.. Pelley was trying to give
the committee 'the kiss of death"
Mr.. Pelley's expressed sympathy
with the committee was unWelcome,
for one reason, because the COM
mittee has just emerged unscathed
from a furious controversy over
charges that it had adopted
friendly attitude toward Mr.. Pelley,
despite branding his organization
'fascistic."
Based on Documents.
These charges were based on
documents purchased from David
Mayne, a former Pelley employe
here, by Harold Weisberg, a former
employe of the Senate Civil Lib
critics Committee, and by Gardner
Jackson of Labor's Non-Partisan
League. They were inserted in the
Congressional Record by Repre-
sentative Hook, Democrat, of Michi-
gan, but were withdrawn when Mr.
Mayne and Mr.. Pelley declared they
were forgeries. The documents
purported to be letters from Mr..
Pelley to Mr.. Mayne.
Mr. Weisberg and Mr.. Jackson
asked United States Attorney David
Pine yesterday to take criminal ac-
ton against Mr.. Mayne. and Mr..
Hook addressed to Mr.. Pine letter
demanding immediate action" on
the Weisberg jackson request.
William A. Roberts, attorney for
Mr.. Weisburg and Mr. Jackson. said
a complaint had been filed charg-
ing Mr.. Mayne with defrauding Mr.
jackson, who paid sos for the let
ters.
Mr.. Pine declined to discuss the
matter on the ground that policy
prohibited disclosure of complaints
pending the issuance of warrants.

William Green, A. F. L. president.

The Presidents disclosures were
made at a press conference in an
swer to an inquiry about the A..
F LIS request that Mr.. Roosevelt
make public the replies he received
from both sides of labor's civil war
in response to his public appeals
for renewal of peace negotiations.
The President sent letters to both
the A. F. l.. and C. I. o. conventions
AL oSloUCl 1CQOColAlS 1CoUIllPGlO4l
Of the negotiations as a patriotic
service for national unity.
The reply from Mr. Green that
the Federation was ready to resume
the conferences was sent to the
White House during the A. F. l.. S
October convention.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he saw Mr..
Lewis shortly before Christmas and
asked him then about the prospects
of the two committees getting to-
gether.
Mr.. Lewis reply as disclosed by the
President was predicated on condi-
items that existed at that time. The
Chief Executive did not indicate he
had any information to show that
the prospects for labor peace had
changed since December.
The A. F. LIS request to the
President that he make public the
replies of the rival organizations on
labor peace came yesterday from
the A. F. LIS Executive Council
sitting in midwinter session at

Business comes where it is invit-
ed and stays where it is well treat
ed! There couldn't be a finer
theme song for this column or for
those interested in seeing Arizona
get state subsidized national tour
ist advertising program.
Last week attended the meet
ing of the State Secretaries of the
Chamber of Commerce Association
held in Phoenix It would have
been marvellous if the various talks
given to the secretaries could have
been broadcast to everyone in Ari-
iona. Some of the speakers were
men Of national and international
recognition. Men who, because of
their ability and achievement, hold
down top jobs in the publicity and
promotion fields with the big rail-
roads, air lines, magazines and
newspapers.
Some of the statistics that were
brought cut during this meeting are
most interesting. For example, in
1888 six states were conducting ma
tional tourist advertising promotins.
There are now forty four states
engaged in this activity We think
of the cotton industry as being ire
mendous and of great importance
economically to the United States
and, as a matter of fact, it is with
out question one of our most i'm
portant industries, yet in 1889 the
national tourist travel expenditure
exceeded the cotton industry in
come by $3.50 according to one of
the speakers. Also, the state of
Maryland has increased tourist
travel expenditure within it's Dor
der from one hundred million to
three hundred million dollars per
year in six years by spending one
hundred thousand dollars per year
on tourist promotion. Figures from
the state of Mississippi indicate
that after four years of tourist adj
vertising, business showed a 5000
increase all over the state which ma
turally brought about a very nice
wage increase. Many more similar
illustrations of community and
state benefit from national and
state advertising were cited during
the meeting.
It is well to point out at this
time that the Arizona Hotel and
Guest Ranch Association with mem
bers In all sections of Arizona and
the State Junior Chamber Of Com
merce Association with very active
organizations in most parts of the
state, have endorsed the movement
fora state subsidized tourist adver-
Using program. In fact, ]. am IN
formed they have more than en-
dorsed the movement, they have
1re on record as making it one OF
their prime detectives for the 1910
Al season. Each Of these groups
had Representatives at the State
Secretaries meeting and all three
organizations are pledged to coop
crate 1000 in this activity.
Now that we know exactly who
