Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. Dec. 5.-Wheat soy
beans and other grain prices sagged
fractions to more than 4 cent a
bushel in early dealings today, but
then rallied to close with net gains
in most cases.
Continuation of profit taking
caused the early retreat. Later,
mill buying. partly associated with
substantial flour sales to Eastern
bakers. helped to rally wheat, while
corn and oats reflected good demand
for cash grain and further large
sales Of grain to be shipped eastward
from Chicago.
Wheat closed L lower to u high

beans, t-lls higher.
Some traders who covered pre-
vious short sales in wheat were be-
deved to have been encouraged by
reports concerning the United
States-Japanese situation. A WASH
ington report indicating that the
Bankhead plan for sliding-s scale
parity loans may be attached to
pending soil conservation legisla-
ton also attracted attention.

seasonally mild weather failed to re-

Aryan Certificate Required.
5. All o. D. men and o. D. lead
ers in particular are required to
procure certificate of Aryan blood
"a prerequisite which indicates
something of the religious bigotry"
Of the bund. One quotation cited
in this connection declares I'VE are
looking for men to enter our organi-
zation not in order to procure per-
sonal advantages or to be allowed
to play soldier pleasantly, but who
intend with their whole power to
eradicate the red Jewish pestilence
in America"
6. The bund aims at the establish
ment of new kind OF government
in the United States, "one which
Incorporates the principle of Nazi
religious bigotry."
T. The bund keeps systematic re-
cords of its enemies patterned
after Hitler's plan of keeping a card
file on friends and enemies"
8. Bund meetings close with q
three-fold rousing chant to Free
America"
9. The principle of secrecy Is
practiced at bund meetings-names
and addresses of officers and mem
bers, under orders, must be kept
confidential and mot divulged to
anyone"
Discrimination Charged.
TO- The documents "betray" an
assumption regarding the status Of
Americans of German descent. The
committee said while it failed to
find "any shred of evidence" that
Americans of German descent are
subject to the kind of discrimina-
ton implied by the bund, st is of
the opinion that the very spirit Of
the German American Bund is cal
culated to breed discrimination
against which it pretends to fight"
II. Many passages in the docu-
ments ''betray" the existence of
close political and theological tie
between the bund and Hitler's
movement in Germany. For ex-
ample, the committee pointed out
the Horst Vessel song is sung at
memorial services, and the German
national anthem is played immedi-

ington for the normal as well as
emergency needs of an always ex-
panding Government.
1t is just as unlikely, however,
that the Army will be given any
more space in District government
buildings. The National Guard ar
mory at the end of East Capitol
street, is no longer being considered.
1t is too far distant for use as
Office space, War Department off,
cials said, and altogether insult
able.
Nor will the Army occupy any
more space in the Municipal Gen.
ter than it now is doing for the
same reasons. The remaining space
in the one existing wing is de-
signed especially for Health De-
partment laboratories, and such de-
partments as police and traffic
Army officials went over the plans
carefully and had decided to use
only the space now turned over
to war personnel.
Last January A. Heath Onthank,
director Of the Civilian Personnel
Division, said the War Department
had spread over into "a buildings
and warehouses.
The new unit of the War Depart
ment building will be ready for
occupancy about July l. 1t will
provide about 250,000 net square
feet of Office space. The department
Is already moving into it gradually

tative of the Reich.
Nearly "a pages of the latest re-
port is devoted to a review of the
German white paper" and testi-
mony before the committee to show
the character and activities of the
bund. This was included. the report
said, in order to present a COM
plete picture" at this time of the
organization.
Nazi Link Is Hinted.
The committee said that "denials
to the contrary Notwithstanding"
1t had been greatly impressed
with evidence formerly presented
showing there is a relationship ex-
lsting between the German govern
ment and the bund through the
activities of Nazi counsels in this
country. Near the conclusion of
the report, it made this statement.
I'm releasing this report on the
activities OF NaZi agents in the
United States the committee wishes
to make the emphatic statement
that neither the committee as a
whole nor any of its individual
members entertains the slightest
doubt of the answering loyalty to
the United States of our fellow citi-
zens OF German descent. In a
number Of cases it was their CO.
operation which made disclosures
OF bund activities possible. They
felt 1t was as much in theif interest
as in that Of the nation as q whole
that the committee endeavored to
bring to light some of the facts
concerning the operations of Nazi
agents and the leaders of the Ger
man-American Bund.
THE question of the form of gov
ernment of the German or any other
nation Is not one that concerns
either this committee of the Ameri-
can people. But attempts by any
foreign agency to influence Ameri-
can citizens in favor of foreign
form OF government and against
American democracy is quite a diff
ferent matter and one concerning
which the Committee on Un-Amer-
lean Activities has immediate and
great concern"
