BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Dies, announcing an
inquiry into reports of Communism
and Naziism in the motion pl> ture
industry, said today that the House
Committee on Un-American ActiY-
tiles may investigate foreign propa-
ganda designed to involve the United
States in European wars.
Disclosing the results of a two
day private discussion of the future
course of public and private hear
ings, Mr.. Dies said:
"The committee took under con-
sideration the question of foreign
propaganda designed to involve us
in the present European wal, and
1t will announce at a later date its
decision with respect to the scope of
any inquiry along this line"
Mr.. Dies announced that the COM
mittee had voted to:
l. Begin public hearings soon on
Nazi and Communist activities on
the West Coast, including the mo-
tion picture industry.
2. Begin public hearings socn on
reports of Communist activities in
consumer organizations and bring
officers of those groups before the
committee for questioning.
3. Investigate statements that
Communist and Nazi agents from
Mexico are carrying on subversive
activities in the United States.
4. Continue its inquiry into the
Christian Front and Christian
Mobilizers.
The Mexican situation will be
under the supervision of Repre-
sentative Dempsey, Democrat, of
New Mexico, who disclosed that
George Hurley, a committee investi-
gator. already had assembled infor-
nation which the committee decided
to study.
Mr.. Dempsey said that he prob
ably would 60 to the Mexican border
to make first-hand survey.
The committee also quelled objec-
tionS of some Democratic members
to committee procedure. BY votes of
four to three, it refused to restrict
activities of J. B. Matthews, chief
investigator, and to adopt procedure
rules advocated by Representative
Voorhis, Democrat, of California.
Mr.. Voorhis wanted to prevent
members from making public
speeches or writing articles about
current inquiries and from issuing
press statements without approval OF
the full committee.

county would be limited by the
funds available and the wide
spread demand throughout the
United States for relief of ten
ancy.
The new loans, as were the
old, will be available to quail
fled tenant farmers and farm Ia
borers who wish to purchase
farms of their own, but who can
not secure the necessary credit
from private sources, or from any
government agency other thar

given family men under middle
age who have had extensive
farming experience and who pos
sess sufficient livestock and
equipment wholly or nearly free
of debt, with which to operate a
family-sized farm. The term of
the loan is 40 years, with interest
at three per cent.
Committees of farmers in the
counties must pass on the quail
fications of applicants, and may
be prospective borrowers in the
selection of farms. Each borrow
er is expected to recommend the
farm he prefers to buy. The
farms must be purchased within
the county.
"In approving farms for pur-
chase" said Mr.. Swift, "the COM
mittees and the FSA county sup
ervisor must take care to see that
the price is strictly in line with
the true value and earning capa-
city of the land. This means that
the farm operating under a farm
and home plan supervised by
FSA, will produce enough in
come to pay all costs and give
the farm family a reasonable
standard of living.
