numerous Communist front organlza-
tions," and that membership of the
dsbanded American League for Peace
and Democracy had "gone over en-
masse" to other groups involved IN the
current investigation.
In a bitter denunciation of the
"front' organizations, Mr.. Dies said
their programs, policies and tactics
parallel those of the Communits party
itself and that the Communist and
Nazi party "lines" have become "iden-
tical in every important respect"
"Whoever serves Stain in this
emergency serves Hitler" he added.
"There is no longer any doubt that
Stalin's fifth column is Hitler's fifth
column. The most immediate benefits
of Communist sabotage and agitation
in this country are those which accrue
to Hitler.
"The extent to which Communists
and Communits sympathizers have
been able to obtain employment in the
Federal Government has created a
shocking situation whose only mean
ing is that an effective fifth column
directed from Moscow, has been, and
still is, operating under the very
shadow of the dome of the Nations
Capitol"
In referring to the list Of owners
of Soviet government bonds, Mr.. Dies
said:
"The American public will, | be-
lieve, be shocked to learn that they
have public servants who have THEN
savings invested in Stalins bruta
totalitarianism at the very time thai
the American Government has en-
barked on a campaign to sell bonds
to meet our enormous emergency eX
penditure.
"There is a significant overlapping
Of these holders Of Soviet Government
bonds and the membership of the
Communist front organizations whose
records we have obtained"
After asserting that "the time ha
come when we must have final show
down on the question OF our Fedora
Governments employees participating
in the activities of Communist from
organizations" Mr.. Dies warned tha
the "fellow travellers" and "so-callet
innocents" in such groups must bea
full responsibility "for their continues
association with a subversive move
ment which threatens the very exist
ence Of democratic institutions in thi
country He said they have had al
most three years "in which to see tn

Army Eases Flying
Cadet Educational
Requirements Soon

Broadening of the Army's Flying
Cadet educational policy to open pilot
scholarships to youths heretofore in
eligible without examination, was an
nounced today at Fifth Corps Area
Headquarters, Fort Hayes, Columbus,
Ohio
The new policy permits candidates
to substitute college credits for any
examination subject, reduces the num-
Der of required subjects from nine to
five and provides two optional ones.
College undergraduates lacking two
full years Of credit heretofore were
required to take the full examination
covering subjects taught in most high
schools. Now they may be exempt if
their college subjects cover those pre-
scribed.
The changes will become affective
with examinations scheduled August
IL, 13 and ID in larger cities of Ohio,
Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana.
The new examination drops geog-
raphy, adds inorganic chemistry and
modern languages and relegates his
tory and physics to the original field
Required subjects will be English
composition and grammar, arithmetic
algebra to include quadratics, plane
geometry and plane triginometry. Ex-
aminees may choose two optional sub
jects from United States history, gen
eral history, elementary physics, inor-
ganic chemistry, any modern language
except English.
Candidates must first make formal
application as Flying Cadets and must
pass the prescribed physical examina-
ton. Applications may be made at
army recruiting offices by male Amer
ican citizens at least 20 years old ano
not yet 27.

ing Local ass o. c. and sincerely hope
that this denial will make that terri
BILE injustice right. We feel that very
humble apologies are in order and
hope that every other accusation is
just as baseless
We believe that the matter which
brought this accusation about is per-
fectly true and that the heads Of our
firms are proud to carry the banner
when it comes to paying fair wages
and providing good conditions for
their men. However, if there are some
who are ahead of us we take our hats
off to them and will gladly take our
proper place till such time that it
is beyond all doubt.
We are glad that this friendly riv-
airy exists as we have usually felt
that it was on the other end. We
hope the day is not too far distant
when the manufacturers of sanitary
earthenware will get together once
again and see what they can do to
still further improve conditions for
employees who work far harder than
the majority in most uncertain busi
ness.
Along that line we must humbly ad-
NIT that many of our troubles are of
our own making and that those who
are dishonest in their dealings with
those who are trying to uplift their
trade are also guilty of making our
days work harder than ever. We
hope that some day our bosses will
cooperate with us in keeping the days
work so that we can all do it in COM
fort instead of the mad race it so
often is, and that we will learn to oc-
cupy ourselves for eight hours on a
full days work instead of killing our
selves to do it in six. Surely in most
cases the firm would get better quail
ity without being continually after US,
and we would not have to be worry
ing so much about life and casualty
insurance.

Fleming Hits Lure

Communities Exploiting Low
Paid Workers Face
Trouble

Biloxi, Miss. (ILNS)-Inviting in
dustry to exploit low wage labor mar
kets is disastrous, General Philip B.
Fleming, administrator of the Wage
and Hour Division, U. S. Department
of Labor, told Mississippi bankers at
their convention here
"Small' rural communities" said
General Fleming, (Which once served
as trading centers for fruitful agri-
cultural communities, find themselves
hard pressed when agriculture de-
clines. They are especially prone to
turn to industrialization as the solu-
tion to their problem.
New Shop Solves Nothing
But it is easy to forget that the
new factory building in itself solves
nothing. 1t has no benefcent signifi-
cance unless the people who work in
it are going to be better off than they
were before. Otherwise the town is
importing, along with the factory, con-
gestion, slum conditions, new prob
lens of community sanitation, and new
problems of financing health, police

almost every town has some ad-
vantage to offer to at least one type
of industry. One has excellent rail-
road facilities; another is on naviga-
bic water; another is near the source
of certain necessary raw materials
another possesses advantages of eli
mate or proximity to the mass mar
ket. Some towns can offer a combi-
nation of several attractions, all legit-
innate.
"But if the only, or principal, at
traction offered is IAN abundant sup
ply Of cheap docile labor look out
For if the manufacturer has been
coaXed in merely to exploit the poor
you are compounding human misery
and making worse the conditions you
are trying to cure.
Subsidies Often Provided
Every frequently the invitation to
the manufacturer carries with it some
sort of direct subsidy. Sometimes the
local Chamber of Commerce places at
his disposal a factory building, rent
free. Sometimes the town itself
bonds it's people to raise the funds tc
put up the factory building Some
times the town furnishes free light
free power, and free heat.
ON one New England city an en-
terprising Chamber of Commerce
bought for taxes factory building
that had been abandoned by rubber
concern. Then it induced a runaway
shoe manufacturer to set up shop il
