 Following publication of that story the U. s. Senate appropri- ated $5,000 to investigate the al- legations i, of these columnistS. So far that Investigation has not tak- en place.
 However, our own investlga- ton of how German agents have used members of Congress has continued and has revealed further startling developments. These are not SO important Senator Lundeen as they are regarding the fact that the Na1is have been able to use Q highly placed member of Congress and appear to be using other naenn- bers of Congress even today. For If the public loses confidence in one of the few remaining legis- lative systems in the world, then we may be in for what hap pened after the German people lost confidence in the Reich- stag.
 We have already revealed who wrote Senator Lundeen's speeches. Most important additional de- velopment was how his speeches were used after delivery on the floor of the Senate. They be. came an intergral part of the Nazi propaganda network in the United States. After being print ed In the Congressional Record, they were reprinted and sent out under the Senators frank to lists of Nazi sympathizers all over the country. Bundles of 800 to l,- 900 were made up, unaddressed, sent to German American or- ganiZations in Chicago and New York. These organizations wrote the addresses on the franked en. velopes and mailed them--free.
 NOTE - The free mailing priv- ilege was given Congressman as c free means of getting legitimate personal infQrmation to the pulp lie, not to be passed on for the use of others.
 These were the speeches wrlt- ten by Q paid Maxi agent, regis. tered with the State Department as receiving Sl,0O0 monthly from Germany--Naxi speeches mailed postage free, after being de- livered on the floor of the most rcvered legislative body in the world.
 LOTHIAN Vs: LOTHIAN
 One of the speeches written for Lundeen by Viereck was called Lord Lothian vs. Lord Lothian" This was printed in the Congress sional Record of June i9, I940.
 But three months later this same speech showed up in book form, this time written under the name of James Burr Hamilton. The name of the book is identi- cal with the title of the Sena- tors speech - 'L0rd Lothian vS. Lord Lothian" And the contents of the book are almost identi- cal. The speech, however, was that of 6 U. s. Senator and the book was signed by James Burr Hamilton.
 Key to this mysterious identity is to be found in the registry of the State Department. The book , ''Lord Lothian v& Lord Lothian" was published by Flanders Hall. State Departmerl records show Flanders Hall to be subsidized by George Sylvester Viereck. Fur thermore James Burr Hamilton is the pen name of George Syl- vester Viereck.
 Thus we have an agent Of Germany ost-wTiting a speech for 8 U. s. Senator. getting

man who never let customer down. His later success was built on this reputation he built up for dependahility.
 We have to get our feet on some thing substantial in this world if we are going to stand when the floods begin to rise. We have to be sure that there are certain things we can rely upon. certain persons we can trust, certain great verities which can hold the world steady in fair weather or foul. We have to believe in & universe which never varies. in persons who are al- ways faithful. in principles which arc more eternal than the hills.

Views Of The Press

something which is not mentioned in the book. Namely, that New England's farms represent Q tri- umph of the human spirit over the forces of nature.
 Our farms were literally wrested from the forests; our stone fences in New England are tribute to the back-breaking labor by which these rough and barren acres were pain- fully tiled; the increased yield of New England's acres from soil which was originally infertile, shows that our farmers are improving the land, not denuding it. If any farm- CTS deserve success, they do.
 Sonora, with an area of T6,022 square miles. is the second largest state in Mexico.

Most of all do we have to have a working faith in . God Who nev- CT disappoints.
 Are we justified in such c faith? Not only does the Bible assure us that we are, but experience as well -our own experience and the ex. perience of the race. Man would not continue to trust cod if cir. cumstances had not vindicated that trust. Life becomes worthwhile for us only when we can pat on an unfalterlng trust in God who never lets us down.

Stones popu- larity and ability He was picked from group of Republican eligibles whose ranks included some very fine party mem- bers. His new post is responsible one, but we believe he is capable of fulfilling all the duties entrusted to him.

that the medical society was "ex-

to the attention of members of Con-
gress from Maryland.
The Government is charging that
the A. M. A., the District of Colum-
bia Medical Society and others, in
cluding 20 doctors, conSpired to-
gether in violation of the Sherman
Antitrust Act to restrict the trade
of Group Health Association and,
If possible, put it out of business.
Testimony TO this point was read
to the jury by Grant w. Kelleher
of the prosecution staff out of a
letter written by DR.. Thomas E
Neil, former president of the Dis
trlCt Medical Society, to DR.. Wood
ward.
In this letter, Dr. Neil pointed out
that already their counsel had taken
legal steps to get suit filed through
a former assistant corporation
counsel and then added, we hope
to break this organization complete
ly." He explained, however, that he
was afraid the fight would not stop
in view of the ''socialistic tendencies
of our Government"
The fight against Group Health
Association, DR.. Neil wrote. was
being led at that time by a public
relations counsel, Fulton Lewis, jr.,
who was being advised by special
committee of the society.
DR.. Woodward. in a subsequent
letter, said he thought it was in
appropriate for a public relations
counsel to lead the fight entirely
and that the leadership itself should
be some one who is a member
of the medical society itself"
The committee advising Mr.
Lewis on public relations included
four doctors and three lawyers,
Frederick A. Fenning, George
Hoover and William E. Leahy, DR..
Neil said.
Justice James NJ. Proctor, presid-
ing, withheld ruling on the Gov
ernment's request yesterday to ad-
nit into evidence four large VOL
umes of testimony regarding the
ousting from the local medical So
cietys membership of DR.. Mario
Scandiffo, medical director of
Group Health Association. The
record also showed the case of Dr.
Allen E Lee. who resigned from
Group Health Association after
charges had been placed against him
by the medical society.
The prosecution counsel intro
duced evidence concerning these two
doctors this morning in the form of
letters. Justice Proctor promised to
decide on admissibility of the four
volumes over the week end. The trial
will not be continued tomorrow, but
will resume on Monday.
Leahy Opposes Rehearing.
The medical society's hearing in
the Scandiffio case, it was charged
by Mr.. Kelleher, for the prosecu-

On the way, she gave birth to a
son. She had lain by the road. in
the rain, all night, when the col
lie led Lonzo Caldwell, a farmer,

Residents reported that the dog
they did not know to whom it be-
lOnged-barked at several houses
during the night, and whined and
scratched at their doors. They
chased him away. Finally he at
tracted Mr.. Caldwell's attention and
