Of q year ago. For 1910 Is an elec-
ton year.
Dies has brought out a lot Of
testimony about Communism In and
near the New Deal, and says he has
O lot more. The thought of this sort
Of hot stuff coming out In the mid
die OF presidential campaign gives
some Of the New Dealers cold
sweat.
From this distance, II seems al
most certain that Congress will give
Dies the further time and money he
wants.
BILL MAY KILL
y. 3. RED PARTY
Communists and their activity
have never been popular in the
House, and they are less so since
the invasion OF Finland. Leglsla-
ton Is apt TO be proposed this win
ter which would, IN effect drive the
Communist party out OF existence
In the United States.
Dies was working this fall Oh a
bill requiring any political party
afiliated with All international Or
gnniSation Gin this case the Com
intsrn) TO file periodic statements
with the Secretary OF State giving
tho true names Of oil officers and
members, and financial account
Ing. Such bill might well 20
through the House. II might have
haHler shedding IN the Senate, but
II recent runners are true that the
administration would be quietly
satisfied 10 see such O law passed,
II might have little trouble.
MURPHY MAY
STEAL SPOTLIGHT
Attorney General Murphy's grand
jury investigation OF foreign agents
might, however, steal the spotlight
IN the meantime and cripple Dies
chances OF another large approprl.
alton. II the Murphy investlga-
ton should turn up with O nice
assortment OF headlines and O fat
sheAf OF indictments, administra.
ton leaders could argue that the
Job had been done except for
prosecution O Job for the Dc.
partment OF Justice, and one that
would require no further public
hearings by the Dies Committee.
Best bet at the moment, how.
ever, Is that Dies will get Just
about what no wants In the way
OF authority and money. What Is
also likely Is that tho personnel
OF his committee may be changed
IN such way as 10 soften Its
blows, or at least produce more
two.sided view of tho matters un.
der investigation.
In any case, every move made
In relation 10 continuing the Dies
Committee and every move It
makes after being continued should
be construed IN view Of the great
dominating fact 1910 Is election
year.
